10. Have you ever watched your dad repair a pool vaccuum cleaner in your computer room? Cheers for you if you said yes.

1. Have you ever watched Star Trek? If so, which series is your favorite? Star Wars, yes. Star Trek... no.

2. Which is cooler, LOTR or Harry Potter? Movies or books, take your pick. I'm not done with LotR yet, so HP.

3. When was the last time you used a phone? Last night, 'round eight-thirty. I was talking to my friend Kendall. We discussed what a burden it is to be a genius, and how taking over the world might be a fun hobby. *is looked at strangely*

4. Do you know anyone named Coleman? Bailey? I shouldn't be able to say yes, but this guy I know, Cole, sometimes calls himself Coleman.

5. When was the last time you squirted someone with a hose? I should do ths more often... probably last summer, sadly enough.

6. Which is cooler, Tronjiem or the Lonely Mountain? I'm sorry?

7. Who wins, Halt or Aragorn? Combat starts long range and moves to close up. Halt = Ranger's Apprentice and Aragorn = LotR? I've started both series, but haven't gotten up to them yet. So I dunno.

8. Who wins, Data or Darth Vader? Ditto above. Who's Data? <3 for Darth Vadar, though, he's awesome.

9. Do you think that my choice of books and movies is weird? Star Trek, LOTR, Harry Potter (only watched the first three movies though, and haven't read the books) Eragon, LOTR again, Ranger's Apprentice, LOTR again, Star Trek again, and Star Wars. Weird, or no? Nah, not awfully. Most of themare good, actually.. :)

10. Have you ever watched your dad repair a pool vaccuum cleaner in your computer room? Cheers for you if you said yes. Um... no. Believe it or not.

11. Have you ever pogo sticked into a swimming pool? Lol. No, but I'm promising myself that sometime in the next five years I'm going to. That sounds like fun.

12. Why on this sweet green earth are you wasting your time doing this? Because I have no life. At least, not on Wednesdays. *shrug* I should be doing something more productive, but...

13. Quick, name ten Star Trek characters. Never watched Star Trek! *wrings hands anxiously*

14. What vegetable is Larry in Veggie Tales? Bob? *blinks* Um... should I know this?

15. Last time you spoke to a college student? "Hi, Elise." Elise is babysitting us right now. If Mom was here I wouldn't be spending nearly this much time on the Internet. ;)

16. Ever heard of miniature donkeys? Ever wanted one? Um... no on both counts.

17. Are you going to celebrate my birthday outside the Chatterbox? If you tell me when it is, sure. We've aleady ascertained that I've got nothing better to do. (see question twelve)

18. Do you even know when my birthday is? See above.

19. Are you a math geek? If so, are you proud of it? Heck no. I despise math. I'm in the Advanced Math class, though, so I guess I'm not that awful at it...

20. Have you ever spoken to a Borrower? To Drualt? I don't know what Drualt is, but not Borrowers. Borrowers irk me.

21. Have you identified every refrence I've made to books or movies so far? Um... at least 85%, I'd say.

22. Have you ever watched the Legomation movie "Star Wars episode square root of thirteen: The Great Disturbance"? Make that 80%. ;)

23. Are you willing to spend an hour and a half watching said movie? I'm not that desperate for something to do. ;)

24. Do you know what Legomation is? Another more general name is stop motion animation. Er... 'fraid not.

25. Do you know someone named Jamie? Price? Jamie... yes. Two Jamies actually. Neither of whom I'm particularly friendly with. No Prices though.

26. Do you know what a nut is? A bolt? Nut = my sister Maggie. No, really though, they're little gizmos in tool boxes. I think.

27. Do you wish I would stop now? Weeeeell... ;)

Finish LOTR, Mary. It's well worth it. The Lonely Mountain is the dwarves' mountain in The Hobbit and LOTR, and Tronjiem is the dwarves' mountain in the Eragon books. Finish the Ranger's Apprentice books too - Halt is very cool. I should have made it Legolas vs. Halt, now that I think of it. Data's an android in Star Trek. One of the best characters. On number 14, only a small percentage of the people on here will know those. Larry is a cucumber, and Bob is a tomato. Miniature donkies rock! Find a photo of them. My birthday is the fifteenth of September, so it's soon. Drualt is a character in The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. And Borrowers are kind of annoying. The Great Disturbance is funny and kind of stupid. If you're a Star Wars fan and really need a time filler, watch it. You can find it online. Stop motion animation is.... well, look it up. Kind of hard to explain. Yeah, nuts and bolts are little gizmos in tool boxes. :D Wow, that was long and convoluted.

First I will say I have never watched, and therefore know nothing about, Star Trek or Star Wars. So I will skip all of those questions.

2. At this point I would have to say I like Harry Potter better than Lord of the Rings.

3. The last time I used a phone was probably a week or two ago.

4. Yes, I know a Coleman, and spent a week with a Bailey who I don't know very well.

5. The last time I squirted someone with a hose was probably in mid-July.

6. Well, I haven't read any LOTR in a really long time, and since I can remember Tronjeim better, I'll say I prefer it over the Lonely Mountain.

9. Except for the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Ranger's Apprentice, no, I don't think your choices are weird. :D

10. I don't have a computer room, so I have never watched my dad repair a pool vacuum cleaner in it.

11. I think it would be fun to pogo-stick into a swimming pool, but as of yet I've never tried.

12. Is the earth sweet? I can't say I've tasted it.

14. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber!

15. Oh, wow, I think the last time I talked to a a college student was maybe...April?

16. Yes! I saw miniature donkeys at the state fair! Can't say I've ever wanted one, though.

17. No I'm not going to celebrate your birthday outside of the Chatterbox;

18. I don't even know when it is!

19. Yuck, no, I am not a math geek. English, grammar, and spelling!

20. By Borrower, do you mean those miniature people?

21. I've managed to identify almost all of the books and movies you've made reference to so far.

24. I know what stop-motion animation is! One time my sister, brother, dad and I made a stop-motion movie in which our Mr. Potato Head people beat each other up!

25. I used ot know a Jamie, but then she moved away. :( The only Price I know is a last name.

26. I know what nuts and bolts are.

27. Yes, I'm glad you stopped here! Otherwise I would have looked at this quiz and thought. "This is too long. I don't feel like doing it."

1. Yes, and I'd have to agree with you, Next Generation.

2. Wow, that's hard. I've seen both HP and LotR movies, and I've read both books so..... I guess LotR is supposedly "better writing" so HP movies better and LotR books better.

4. No Coleman, but I know a Bailey from an acting camp I had.

10. No, can't say I have.

13. Spock, Kurk, Ricard, Data, Worf, McCoy, Picard, and that's about all for now...

14. Cucumber, tomato. DUH

15. And you're asking me this why?

16. No to both.

17. *sigh* when IS your birthday?

18. Yes. Of course. I would ask you when I knew perfectly well when your birthday is JUST TO ANNOY YOU!!!!! *pant pant pant*

19. I am in advanced math, but I'm more of an english geek and I'm very proud of that.

20. Amazing. I actually know what you're talking about.

21. I'm kind of scared at the fact that I have...

Errrrm, I'm pretty sure I haven't. o.O

21. Have you identified every refrence I've made to books

Not by a long shot.

22. Have you ever watched the Legomation movie "Star Wars

episode square root of thirteen: The Great Disturbance"?

No, afraid not. O.O

It wouldn't be my first choice for a pastime, but I'd be willing

Great heavens, have NONE of you but Mathilda watched Star Trek? For goodness sake, people, you don't know what you're missing! Just don't watch TNG's pilot episode. Giant cosmic jellyfish holding hands. Er.... tentacles. Worst pilot ever. And have none of you but said Mathilda read The Two Princesses of Bamarre? And do none of you want mini donkeys? And NONE OF YOU ARE MATH GEEKS!  *trauma* I am strange in that I'm a writing/reading/grammar geek and a science geek and a math geek. Never met a kindred spirit in that regard. :( Wow, I'm stranger than I thought. In everything on this quiz, just about. Seriously, one of my best friends is five and a half years older than I am and is a sophomore in college. Do none of you have friends like that? *screams in agony and runs from the room* *returns to sign initials and click Submit, then runs from the room screaming again and breaks into sobs*
