What were some of your favorite children's books when you were little?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 20 Sep 07

I remember loving a picture book about Grover from Sesame Street and how he was scared of a monster at the end of the book. It turned out he was the monster at the end of the book! I also remember loving The Babysitters Club books...

shiningfae I love Beverly Cleary, too! Ramona Quimby was my hero for a while. I also loved Judy Blume books, The Little House on the Prairie books, the Redwall series, and everything by Roald Dahl. I read a lot as a kid--I wish I had more time to read now!

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 20 Sep 07

I actually work in the mall so I'm there a lot (lol). But the last time I bought something was yesterday. With working at the mall, its real easy to shop there and know all the good deals going on.

shiningfae When I was in Minnesota, I went to the Mall of America. It was amazing! I knew there was a roller coaster there, but I didn't realize that they had an entire mini-amusement park! I was totally blown away. There were lots of nice mall shops, too.

Where is the last place you took a plane to? What airline did you fly?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 20 Sep 07

Last summer, I flew to Glasgow, Scotland. I did have stopover in Philadephia. I flew US Airways which was an okay airline. The flights were good, but I did almost miss one of my connecting flights, which was nerve wracking.

shiningfae The last time I flew, it was to Minnesota to visit my sister. On the way there, I had a direct flight, and I was supposed to have a direct flight on the way back, but because of storms I was diverted to Memphis before making it back to Philly.

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 28 Aug 07

I love cooking and I do it often. However, I rarely ever bake. If I do, I usually bake from the box or package. I actually baked today. It was my first time baking in about 2 months. how about you?

mattwolves @mattwolves (66) 28 Jun 07

Who is your favourite B5 character. I was a big fan of Ivanova, for obvious reasons at first I will admit, but also because she grew into a strong and very important character throughout the episodes. I also liked Garibaldi, the...

shiningfae My favorites were always Garibaldi and Londo, because they always seemed to add a touch of humor to serious situations, but also had very serious character arcs. I also really liked Mr. Bester. He was such a great villian.

Do you have fancy checks or are they plain? What kind of design do you have?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 27 Jun 07

Mine have animal prints on them. However my bank no longer provides fancy free checks only plain ones so I guess I'm switching to the boring ones now. How about you?

shiningfae My checks are tie-dye! They were the same price as the plain ones, so I just couldn't resist! So everyone who gets a check from me gets a bright little piece of hippie-dom.
