15 Things.

[Leah]

I've always liked people named Emily so a third Emily in your life might be good for you.

And if I'm holding a gun...I get a little sticky lol!

[John Blaze]

oh, and Welcome to the site.

JB, at your service.

I am afraid I totally lost the point of this thread. What is it about again?

[Darkthoughts]

It was just for fun, 15 random questions to answer. I'll collate them all after work and repost them all in the first post so people can copy and paste more easily

[Jean]

yes, thank you!

[Bethany]

You love us and you know it.

And if no one notices what I've done to my sig and title today in honor of this conversation, I'm going to bust.

you are fucking disgusting.


and yes, I love ya'll.


and yes, I said ya'll, ya'll.

Now I wish I could remember what my sig and title were.

[John Blaze]

glazed donuts and double entendre.

[Bethany]

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

I'm a "Jr." so yes. No imagination LOL

Which continues as my son is "III" and his wife is pregnant with "IV"!! I hope, I hope!!

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

I'm a III, so yeah, pretty obvious.

2.) Do you have any article of clothing that has a lot of memories attached to it?

Nah. I used to have a "lucky poker shirt" but it was more of a joke. Very loud Hawaiin shirt I'd wear. I no longer have it.

3.) When you’ve had a terrible day, how do you deal with it?


I don't hardly ever have "terrible days." I'm pretty low key and even if I have a stressful work day or get in a fight with my wife, I typically just turn on a ball game. Of course, I do that on my good days as well.

4.) How are you similar to and different from the majority of TDT.com members?

Similar: love good books and all things King

Different: I'm not real chatty (I hardly ever leave the collection threads of Calvin's corner). Heavily into sports (watching; betting). Don't Facebook; don't WOW; have never in my life sent or received a text message.

5.) What are some little things that make you feel warm and fuzzy?
Bourbon; watching a good Korean romance movie or TV series; my college team (LSU) wins; reading a good short story; Brewster Rockitt, Space Guy!

6.) What would your dream house/apartment/castle/tree house/loft/bungalow/etc. look like?

Some sort of beach house away from the crowd.

7.) What are some of your pet peeves?
1. Public use of cell phone
2. idiot drivers (many of whom are on a cell phone)
3. disorganization and people who are too lazy to put something back where they found it
4. the unyielding intrusion of advertising into our daily lives (a web page takes 5 minutes to load b/c of the ads; I click on a You Tube video which then has ads floating all over it; I'm watching TV and an animated ad comes scrolling across the bottom of the show, ETC.)

8.) Who makes your happier than anyone else?
This may sound funny, but me.

9.) What was the worst thing to happen to you in middle school?
Hmmm, I didn't have too much middle school trauma. Maybe just having crushes on girls so bad and didn't seem to get the return attention like some of the other boys. (I may edit something else in here later if I recall something traumatic).

10.) What movie or book reminds you most of your childhood?
Beverly Cleary books. I think I read all of them, and the suburban white-bread setting was exactly my growing-up.

11.) What is the community you live in like?
Largish outer suburb of Washington, DC. Lots of shopping centers; big box stores; sprawl. I love it!

13.) What's your favorite season and why?
Fall. not too hot, not too cold.

14.) Is there a band that you have loved for a long time? How long and why?
Not bands per se, but I'm going to go with Camille Saint-Saens and Bach. And Beethoven because of the 9th and the Moonight Sonata.

Just stumbled across this, and I have to comment.....

1.) Do you know how/why your parents picked your name?

My father is named Fernando also.

I've never in my life met a Fernando. I know people here call you Feev (I think I've seen Ferny also) but out of curiosity, what do people call you as a nickname?

I'm pretty sure it's "asswipe".
