Someday maybe I will get to see Dido in concert..... While I am dreaming, I would also like a pony.Hm. Random question. Name one thing you would love to be able to do in your lifetime. Climb Mt. Everest? Go in to Space?
I have the TMNT live action movie on VHS. Lots o' fun.
So you were the good kid, huh?
I used to like game shows like Jeopardy! and such but has really gotten away from them. Family Feud is pretty interesting. Always fun to see what the #1 response is. Some of their questions are pretty inane.
One thing I absolutely want to do in my lifetime is go on an Africa safari - at least once. It's not an unobtainable goal, so hopefully...someday...
And I'd like to see one of my books make it onto the NYT bestseller list.
Maybe I'll write a book about my safari experience.What's your's?
I was such a good kid. Sickeningly good. Looking back, though, it was a brilliant strategy because come high school I got to do whatever I wanted, no questions asked. My little brother hasn't quite figured that out yet.
I suppose every family can only have one perfect child. :)I love the Food Network! Their crazy food challenge shows are so fun to watch. Just one more thing that makes being a chef look like an amazingly cool job.

That sounds like fun. Africa seems like such a mysterious place. It would be very neat to go and visit someday. Bestseller, huh? How about one of your books being made into a movie too? smile: That would be pretty neat-o. My dream? I would love to run the Boston Marathon someday. Unfortunately, my best times are too slow.
Still on my quest for the world's best burger too.By the way, did you see that there is a TMNT movie coming out next year? It will be CGI and supposedly much darker than the original cartoon. I am excited!
Hm. So did you go wild when you started college?
I have never been much of a risk taker, so my transition to college was pretty tame.I like Good Eats on Food Network. That is my absolute favorite show on TV these days. I like the shows about the bizarro food challenges too like the shows about cooking contests and such. Fun to watch.

I think it would be fun to see one of my books turned into a movie - or a play - but all the movies that came from a book I really loved were really disappointing. It's hard enough being a reader and finding the movie missed the mark, how awful would it be to be so intimately involved with it and feel disappointed?
Heh...how narcisstic am I? Planning to turn down a movie deal for a book that hasn't been written.
TMNT movie?! No way! That would be amazing. Do you know when it's supposed to come out? Or who's making it?
I think I got most of my wildness out in high school. I went kind of crazy for a while. Once college started, I figured I had too much to lose if I got in trouble, so I gave most of it up. Probably better that way, all things considered. Saves me a lot of money, keeps me safe.
Maybe not the typical college lifestyle, but I'm having fun anyway.--------------------

I can understand not wanting someone to betray your original vision for something you wrote. Still, the $$ you would get paid would be hard to turn down. :\
I is supposed to come out next March (just in time for our birthdays!) and it will be CGI. Apparently it is already filming but no cast list is available. Go to IMDB.com and see the poster. It got me excited all day. The original creators are the ones helming the project, so hopefully it will be good.
Did you ever see the original live action TMNT movie? You might have been too young when it came out. Now I feel old....You were wild in high school? But I thought you were a good kid in high school. You want a-typical college lifestyle, I think I took the cake. I was pretty tame. I suppose I still am. I do not drink, I do not smoke, I do not use drugs and I prefer playing board games over crazy parties. :\ Oh well. Glad you are enjoying college, though. It is a nice part of life.

The money would be hard to pass up. But I guess I've already resigned myself to a life of debt and poverty - being wealthy is just not one of my dreams, silly as it sounds.
What a great birthday present that would be! Oh boy...only 12 months to go...! :P
And don't feel old - I've seen at least three live-action TMNT movies. Maybe four? I think I even own one or two on VHS, though they're hidden somewhere in my house. I'll have to rent them again to get (more) psyched up for the new movie.
I was a good kid about up until high school. And even then, everyone assumed I was still a good kid, because I always had been. I could go out and party with my friends and my parents never questioned where I was or what I was doing, they just assumed it couldn't possibly be that. It really worked out to my advantage during that phase - I still don't think they have any clue about most of the trouble I got myself into.
By the time I got to college...eh. It was kind of a "been there, done that," scenario. High school was a joke, but if I want to get good grades and keep my scholarship, I can't afford to be out every night fooling around. I haven't even had anything to drink since I turned 21, since it's not something I did regularly before and I don't see any reason to get into it now. Plus I'm poor and can't afford to go out. Plus most of my friends haven't turned 21 yet, and what's the fun in going out and drinking by yourself? (Though I can sort of understand the attraction of it - I'd need to be very drunk to find most of the people I go to school with intelligent or interesting.)
I love board games too! I rule at Scrabble. And Parcheesi. I learned to play from my grandmother, who's absolutely cutthroat.
I would definitely take a board game over a night out partying.--------------------

I am glad you are not putting yourself in dangerous or unfavorable positions anymore. Sadly a lot of people do not seem to realize these things until something bad happens to them. :\
Well, I understand the poor part of the equation, though how many college students are flush with money anyway?
Hm. Solitary drinking, at least excessive solitary drinking, is probably not a good thing. :\I like Scrabble too, as well as Trivial Pursuit and other more mind numbing games like Yahtzee.
My family usually plays Yahtzee during the holidays. Kind of a tradition, I suppose.I am quite pumped about this TMNT movie. I hope it is good.
With the bevy of remakes these days, I guess it was only a matter of time. I also saw that there is a CGI Transformers movie coming out as well as Voltron. Ah, I feel like a kid again.

Firefly Dating Service? Sounds shiny.
SBF (Single Black Female) seeks Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin. Period. The hell with "type".
Just kidding. In any case, seeking a Mal-type (minus stubborness) with great interest in reading, music (especially jazz and rock), anime, and learning about new and interesting things. Sense of humor and open-mindedness a must.

I was really lucky that I never got into big, big trouble. I was never arrested or taken advantage of and I never got sick, so I guess I wanted to quit while I was ahead.
A lot of my friends weren't so lucky. One's little boy just turned 4 yesterday - he's a great kid and she's a great mom, but still...You know, I don't think I've ever played Yahtzee. Does that make me a freak? :) I think it's something to do with dice and yelling "yahtzee!" but that's the extent of my knowledge of it. Must be fun, though, if your family makes a point of playing it.
Do you know who's doing the voice or who they think will be doing them? I hope they get good people, not just whoever's hot at the moment. I'm trying hard to keep my expectations realistic, but I just giddy at the thought of the turtles back on the big screen.
I'll be there opening night, guarantee it.Now all they need are He-Man and Thundercats movies and my childhood is completely revived!
