Favorite Rufus song?

cersei @cersei (62) • United States 28 Jan 07

I know it's a tough question to answer, but what's your favorite Rufus song? I kind of waffle between favorite songs myself, but right now I really like Memphis Skyline and Ups & Downs.

amicably_somber I usually go between In My Arms and Hallelujah. If I ever get married I want to dance to In My Arms. He does really great covers. I love the way he adds something new to them.

How's your school?

ToMuSH @ToMuSH (202) • Israel 10 Feb 07

Would you say your school, is it good / bad? Are the teachers good / bad?? And most important, I think, how's the kids??? My school is great, the teachers great and the kids great also!

amicably_somber My high school was great. I lucked out on teachers, and the curriculum was diverse and interesting. It was a large-ish school, which was nice as well. The only problem I had with it was that they were willing to cut the academic clubs (which won or at least...

flat screen tv or regular tv

4 responses

amicably_somber I've watched flat screens (and HD for that matter) at the store, and I've never really noticed a difference. Or if I did, it wasn't a difference that made a TV worth $1000+ to me. But that could just be because I'm a poor college student.

amicably_somber My brother (in his late teens or maybe even twenty at the time) put a Paul Revere pot in the microwave. Yeah. It didn't end well. Ever since we've had this rule: Nothing shiny in the microwave unless Mom approves.

When and how did you learn to knit?

cutepenguin @cutepenguin (6431) • Canada 9 Feb 07

My aunt taught me when I was little, and I forgot and was retaught as a teenager. I made a ton of slippers and half of a blanket, and forgot again. It's sort of like riding a bicycle though, because I managed to teach myself...

mstay4 @mstay4 (69) • United States 9 Feb 07

amicably_somber My brothers and I fight like crazy. The oldest is seven years older than me, the second is three years older than me, and then there's me, the youngest and only girl. I vaguely remember getting along some of the time when we were little kids--my second brother...

Facades

rawiscorri @rawiscorri (30) • United States 8 Feb 07

I just transferred to another school, and I want everyone to think that I'm French. I'm a liar, but that's fun, and that lie, I think, is pretty innocent since I have a good French accent. My aunt Gina said that when she went off...

amicably_somber I have a two-year-old nephew who is just awesome. He's adorable (even if he is a little slobbery and even if he does try to rip up my books if I leave them unattended for TWO FREAKING SECONDS and even if he hits my puppy when he's having a temper tantrum)....

amicably_somber I live in Minnesota so there's usually a lake within a fifteen minute walk of any house. My dad and I just stand on the shores; I've never fished in a boat before. It might be cool to fish on the Mississippi River, but I would probably get a disease from the...

amicably_somber Pizza is so much better with a Coke or any other carbonated beverage. They go together. A lazy night in front of the TV with pizza and Coke, or a night out with friends and Coke. Great fun.

Tiny hippie colleges

rawiscorri @rawiscorri (30) • United States 8 Feb 07

The definition of this is New College of Florida. I love the culture, but the academics are very unorthodox, and it's only really for a special tiny population of students who can function very independently. I left and now I go...

amicably_somber No, I don't go to a "hippie college" but my professor was just telling the class about the one she went to. They had no grades, just end-of-the-term evaluations the professors wrote about them, and almost everyone in my class thought it was a great idea. I...

amicably_somber He's gorgeous. In a kind of odd way. All tall and lean. That matador-looking coat in the link above is awesome. Have you ever noticed that his hair gets greasy? I guess it's because he touches it a lot in most of his scenes and retakes and everything....

What is a good book to get a 12 yr old who hasn't found the love of reading?

harmoniebreeze @harmoniebreeze (246) • United States 10 Jan 07

My niece really isn't into reading. Not even the classics that I loved as a child. What can I get her to at least have her see how good books can be? I was thinking sister hood books, or even the judy blume series, but is there...

amicably_somber I'm afraid this is going to sound corny but if she's interested in fantasy at all or if you can convince her to try it, I cannot recommend Tamora Pierce enough. She's written some of my all-time favorite books. Everything she writes is about strong girls on...

Do you use patterns or do you just wing it?

I've never been able to figure out patterns,. Of course all I can make is hats, scarves, and blankets. :)

amicably_somber If it's a blanket or a scarf I have more fun winging it. I'm a short attention span crafter, so whatever I make either has to be easy enough that I can pay attention to something else at the same time, or there have to be some stitch changes or something to...
