It's funny that you should say that. DH has NEVER bought me flowers because they die. The most romantic gift he's ever given me was a Lego pirate ship I have at my desk. The card read, "Flowers die, but Pirate Ships last forever. I love you baby!" I laughed and cried at the same time.

9. Have you ever played a really good practical joke on someone?
Yes, I went out and got a big box of instant mashed potatoes. I waited for a night where I knew it would dew, and sprinkled them onto their lawn. They woke up to a front yard that was full of mashed potatoes and crows.

10. Do you enjoy small talk?
Honestly, I find it difficult to relate to people face to face. It's hard for me to find common ground with most, so I tend to avoid it. I know it leaves
a bad impression, but I don't know what to say most of the time.

I would just like to take a moment to state that all three of the above answers make me very happy to consider you a friend of mine. I alos despise small talk and have problem relating to people face to face. AND the next person I need to seek revenge on is getting a mashed potato lawn.

Awww... thanks!

Yeah... my SIL has 5, my oldest sister has 3 my next oldest sister has 2, my oldest brother has 3, and my next oldest brother has 1. My Bill, the one who has one, is thinking about having another baby, so the number should round out to 15. Just to let you know, all of them are under the age of 18. That's why I tell people I don't need to have a baby. If I have the urge to be around small children all I have to do is make a phone call.

I believe it! What an amazing guy.

I'd loved the little note he left on your monitor, too about how he loves you even if you are an alien. It must be so cool to be married to someone with such a great imagination.

Ok, some new questions:

1. Have you ever played tabletop rpgs?

1b. If so, which ones?

1c. and what are your favourites?

2. Have you ever played D&D?

2b. If so, what's your own (not your characters') alignment? What's DH's?

1. Have you ever played tabletop rpgs?
Yes,
1b. If so, which ones?
D&D (years ago), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (years ago), and Magic the Gathering.

1c. and what are your favourites?
I really liked D&D, and I still play Magic the Gathering.

2. Have you ever played D&D?
Yes.

2b. If so, what's your own (not your characters') alignment? You know... I'd have to pull out that binder, because I honestly don't remember. It's in our storage area, so I'll look at it when I get our Christmas decorations.

I'm back! Fire away!

I had 20 questions typed out and my computer froze. I gave it a chance to unfreeze and went and made a cake. I had to restart it....

Once I remember them I'll post them again.
