I really wouldn't need a large house. A house slightly larger than the one I'm in now, with an accessible third floor and plenty of room for storage (a finished basement of sorts), the house itself made out of quality material, so automatically it's going to be 70+ years old, ect. Of course things like walls made via the lath and plaster method have a tendency to sag and wrinkle after a few decades, but I doubt that breathing onto sheet rock having half the wall collapse is any better. A built-in pool would be nice, but an above-ground one would be sufficient. An unattached seperate garage as well.

It really isn't, though. And I don't know any adult around here that explicitly thinks that.

Making egg wraps, French toast and grilled cheese are pretty much the extent of my actual "cooking". And even if I wanted to bake something, I can't since the oven stopped working.

At first, I was *slightly* hopeful about the FSA when the protests first broke out, however now that they've palling around with Islamic extremists and are doing dirty shit of their own, I can't say any regime that they bring forth will be better than Assad's. It's become such a huge clusterfuck in Syria that there's ultimately no *good* solution with whatever happens. I'm not too surprised at this development, though and Western governments should probably just not bother at this point.

They're good for two things: getting knee-capped when you stupidly walk into one (which is always fun) and hopefully they come to the rescue when there's that super-rare time when you tell the moron(s) you're living with to clean the lint out of the tumble dryer and they repeatedly fail to and nearly burn the house down.

I don't really have a favorite vegetable. Radishes and beets taste nasty to me if they're particularly strong; I don't care at all for yams/sweet potatoes, though.

I have to say, I've never actually bothered with eMule or any other eD2k-type client and I can't think of any particular reason why. After the fall of Napster, it was Gnutella clients (which you might have better luck with) of varying quality and of course, BitTorrent.

Yes and no. I've already set up a new account at http://ask.fm/Grunnow (which is terrible, by the way; how the hell did they end up with more users?) so you can ask me questions there when this place goes. As for my Formspring responses, I'll end up hosting them at my Websight which is [s]coming soon[/s] probably never.

Also, did anyone get a chance to scrape @cairnarvon 's responses before he disabled his account? It would be a shame to lose all those responses and insight.

I already had that experience with an old Hauppauge video capture card on an IBM Aptiva that I still have that's collecting dust in the closet. This was back around mid-2000 or so. The novelty wore off after a while, and television programming is objectively worse now, so there's not much of a point these days.

I only had one pair of Adidas sneakers around 2003/4 or so, and they were only good for making the back of my ankles bleed.

For practical reasons, Spainish, though there's probably not too many things I could talk about with the non-English speakers that live near here. German would be another, mostly because I do want to visit Germany and my paternal grandmother's family hails from Frankfurt.

I do have Pimsleur, though I don't know if it is any good. I'll have to keep you posted on that.

No. I don't plan to go out of my way to see an episode of it, either.

I haven't, and I don't have any plans to in the future. The only way I probably would is by having a meetup of Internet acquaintances that would use the con as a backdrop and would most likely have nothing to do with whatever the con was about.

That is what most normal people do, anyway.

I haven't read any kind of manga at all.

I have. But often I feel like I need to have some sort of clothes on, even if I'm not going anywhere.

I had helped put together a backyard deck made of Fisher-Price quality wood for my folks early during the summer. That's neither my project, nor is it interesting.

I used to not care for shrimp in my younger days, but now I'm indifferent to it. There's not too many things these days foodwise that I'm against, except for probably seafood outside of the rare times that I have flounder or cod.

I used to watch NASCAR back when I was going through a Dixie-wannabe phase, but thankfully, that didn't last long. I'm not really a sports watcher much these days. If someone wants to take me to a Mets or Sox game, though, I wouldn't be opposed to going.

The first season or two I enjoyed, but I really don't watch the show much anymore. I've only seen less than a handful of the new(er) episodes, so I cannot accurately judge if it has degraded in quality since it came back on the air, though I'd probably not be wrong if I said it had. All in all, still probably better than Family Guy (which I've also stopped watching).
