      What??? Like Fruits Basket?? It's an anime/manga, not food...and it might not all be the same person...that's the only somewhat food related question I see. :/

      Ah...well, I only know it as Fruits Basket. I've only seen the anime, and like I said, I've never read manga before. So to answer your question, yes, it does sound very familiar.

    5. Jacqueline

      Nooo....I don't even know what it is about. Was I supposed to have read it?

      (Actually, I've never read a manga. Yes, I know: *le gasp!*)

      Girl: Elizabeth, Jane, Grace, Marie, Therese (or Marie-Therese), Enna (*maybe* Emma), and a few more I can't recall at the moment.

      Boy: Conrad (*squeeeee*), Finn (though I wouldn't name my kid that. I just think it's so cute), Matthew, Daniel, Michael, and probably more I also can't recall... :P

      I would love to see more historical fantasy! More stuff based on British lit, more stuff historical at all, but above all, I want more traditional fantasy. And I wish we could see more CLEAN YA lit. Some YA gives a bad name to us teens. We don't do all that stuff, ya know. :P

      The vampire trend. Needs. To. Die. Sorry, folks, but I really hate paranormal, and it's just gotten to popularized for little Miss Nonconformist (me) to take it any longer.

      I was thinking about this the other day, actually, and I think I'm eighty-five percent Ravenclaw, thirteen percent Hufflepuff, 1.5 percent Gryffindor, and .5 percent Slytherin. Maybe zero percent Slytherin and two percent Gryffindor. But as you can see, the fact that I broke this down into percentages really puts me into Ravenclaw. But if Hufflepuff is, by Daniel Radcliffe's definition, for "nice but clueless" people, then I have a good shot at that house, too. ;P

      My snarkiness is...snarky. Okay, okay! I'll give a better answer. Of the dry sort, at times, usually quite rambly, and sometimes a bit caustic, even...if I'm angry but want to slight people with wit a la Lizzie Bennet. ;)

    10. Jacqueline

      No, and I really want to! Be so kind as to give me a copy. ;) I have Catching Fire, ironically enough, but I don't even own The Hunger Games!! :P

    11. Jacqueline

      Camp, yes. Summer camp, no. I've been to camp three times, though.

    12. Jacqueline

      Cotton candy. Or that other pink one...bubble gum, is it? I like those two. And popcorn! And I think chocolate...I can't pick just one, you see. :)

    13. Jacqueline

      I love parmigiano reggiano and Swiss...it's a tie between those two!

      Seriously? I'm not answering this. Apples and oranges, my friend. Apples and oranges. And don't ask whether Jane Austen is the apple and Harry Potter the orange, or vice versa.

    15. Jacqueline

      To get to the other side! Haha!

      No, it was because all the other farm animals were too lazy to. I always knew that cow and horse and pig were so inactive creatures! ;)

      Depends on your definition of "speak". If you mean, "How many languages can you speak to a person on a street and have a full-on conversation with them", then I say one. And a half. One is English. The half is Spanish (I've taken three and a half years of it). I can also understand Korean quite a bit, but not speak it much or read it at all.

    17. Jacqueline

      Um...what? I think that they are rather difficult to the owner if one is trying for the first time to put contacts on them.

    18. Jacqueline

      Oh gosh. Well, almost every quiz I've taken says I'm like Fanny Price (Mansfield Park), and I suppose I am--we're both sort of prissy to the point that even the reader (well, in Fanny's case, the reader) doesn't like us.

      I think I've also got quite the Anne Eliot (Persuasion) in me. She's faithful, loyal, but she's not very open about her feelings, and unfortunately that gets her into trouble.

      I *think* I can also be like Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility), since she's so practical.

      Other characters (who I think would qualify as Austen heroines but aren't the main character) that I'm like include:
      -Jane Bennet (Pride and Prejudice; for the same reason that I said for Elinor)
      -Georgiana Darcy (Pride and Prejudice; we're really reserved but get mistaken for snobs. At least, I *think* people can mistake me for a snob.)
      -Jane Fairfax (Emma; she's reserved, and I'm like her for various other reasons...though maybe not the Frank Churchill thing ;P )
      -Catherine Morland (Northanger Abbey; only because she likes reading and is rather MOLDy ;) )
      -Frederica Vernon (Lady Susan; haven't finished this yet, so I can't be really certain about this character being like me, but she gets mistaken for being a ditz...and so do I, soo.... ;) )

      Transfiguration! Charms! Astronomy (or was it astrology?)! Arithmancy! History of Magic! And MAYBE Care of Magical Creatures, considering none of Hagrid's animals plan to make me their lunch.

      I would pretty much want to take any class there, but not Divination, Quidditch/Broomstick practice, Herbology...stuff like that. Hm...Potions I might be iffy on.

    20. Jacqueline

      E-MAILS! And I especially hate it when people call my cell phone, and said cell happens to be on and I'm at home when I SPECIFICALLY tell the person to call my home phone because my cell is pre-paid.
