Where beer does flow and men chunder

And I actually know what chundering is!  
We get huntsmen up here too.  Wicked things.  But I hear your huntsmen are slower compaired to ours.  Or at least NZ.  When I figured out that a spider as big as my face could outrun me, I knew I was in the wrong country.  Luckily they are the biggest cowards.


Eimi ... is only what I'm known as online

The country I live in is ... made up of 10,000 islands and I live on the third largest

The house I live in is ... is a nice sized (for Japan especially) studio apartment with a bedroom area, a living area, a kitchen area and a bathroom with the tub, shower and toilet all in one room (no, that is not a given in Japan, usually the toilet is seperate).  I also have pretty blue wall paper with stars on it that glow in the dark, so when I turn my lights off at night, its like sleeping in a planetarium.

The house is in ... a glorified fishing village that finally got its first McDonalds this year

My part of the country has ... typhoons, mudslides and lots of earthquakes.  I'm actually a little nervous because we haven't had a quake since the 6.0 we had in June, which tells me it could be storing up for something...

My household includes ... five plants, me and zero complications XD

I have ... 800 students, and yes, I teach them all

I don't ... have sickleave which really sucks!  I always have to take vacation time when I'm sick.

I do ... love my life

[Patrick]

The house is in... Maine, somewhere

Ok, fess up, you're related to Bree, aren't you?

I'm associating Maine, US, with Tasmania in Aus.... everyone is inter-related....

*nods*

Yes I'm actually Bree's lost sibling separated at birth.  Noooooo, I was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and moved to here when I was seven.  I'll tell you this though, I live south of Portland.  But thats it.

[Yvonne]

Yvonne is the only name I go by, everywhere.

The country I live in is ... the real Great Frozen North (sorry, Clancey!) - Canada. If someone lives in Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, or the Artic I'll cede the title. Possibly it'll go to Paula.

The house I live in is ... a bachelor suite apartment with north facing windows, beige walls, and a lot of space.

The house is in ... one of the older parts of the city, on a street with elm trees that make an arched, cathedral-like canopy and occasionaly echo with hockey riots.

My part of the country has ... winter for 6 months of the year, fantastic star-gazing opportunitites, northern lights, bears (in the mountains, which are relatively close), the biggest Fringe this side of the Atlantic, and rig pigs who drive monster trucks.

My household includes ... a fish named Gustav and a lot of shoes.

I have ... a lot of shoes.

I don't ... do kareoke, eat onions, or enjoy talking on the telephone.

I do ... like to pretend I'm an artist.

And I thought I had it rough with four kids!

LOL

Anwen... is not my real name and is only used here at Triad.

I live in... the US.

My house... at the moment is a one-bedroom apartment. "Home" (my Mom's house) is a two bedroom and my room is giant.

The house is in... close to school. (perhaps its most redeaming quality)

My part of the country has... hurricanes and nor'easterns. No big ones recently though.

My household includes... me and two cats!

I have... no kids (thankfully... too young still in my opinion!) but my pets are my babies!

I don't... eat meat. Or have a computer in my apartment (it died last year and I am too afraid to see if it can be fixed)

I do... plan to finish college in only 4 years (did you know that the average is something like 5 years now?), despit having been a bit of a slacker when I did study abroad!

[Bree]

Bree ... might as well be my name, since many of the people in my life don't know that it really isn't. ;) Sometimes my mom pouts about that as she likes the name she gave me.

The country I live in is ... large and diverse and I've lived in many different regions of it.

The house I live in is ... is a midsized two-bedroom apartment on the 'bad-side' of the suburb. (The bad side of a suburb is, in fact, not that bad at all of course... our main criminals are violent rowdy kids breaking windows and stealing xboxs.)

The house is in ... Alabama. Sweet home Alabama.

My part of the country has ... tornados, hurricanes, no snow and gets so humid in the summer that sometimes rain falls from the cloudless sky only to hit the pavement and turn into steam.

My household includes ... 2 cats, 1 husband, 4 computers, an XBOX, a PS2 and occasionally a couple babies.

I have ... a best friend whose family adopted me, and her two daughters who call me Auntie Bee. (Well, one does. The other calls me 'Buuh')

I don't ... think I'm ready for my midterm in an hour. I'm very scared.

I do ... hope I graduate.

58 days... 58 days until graduation... (Of course, 63 days before I find out if I actually graduated... something wrong with that??)

Just maybe.  But You'll do fine Bree!  Don't be afraid, you'll pass I'm sure of it.

Cae... is not my real name and is used only in fandom, mainly to avoid bad associations caused by my lack of ability to keep my mouth shut.

I live in... Maryland, about 15 minutes outside of Baltimore.

My house... err. Apartment, ya mean? Yep, 'tis a two bedroom, good sized, one bedroom is our 'junk room', with the wall of solid bookshelves, and the big drafting desk and yadda yadda, and the other is for the traditional use of a bedroom.

The house (apartment!) is in... a pretty decent neighborhood, fairly cheap, and close to everything! aka, I have a Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, Target, WalMart, and a huge mall within a mile of home!

My part of the country has... summer humidity and unpredictable winters... sometimes we get snow, sometimes we don't. Often we don't know til we wake up and go 'hey, honey! it snowed!'

My household includes... me, my fiance, and occasionally a greyhound or two

I have... no kids, don't want them. Nieces are great because I get 'em when I do want 'em, and they go back to their momma when I don't!

I don't... really like my job. Which sucks, because I've only been there for a couple months.

I do... foster greyhounds, which are really awesome pups. For being ex-racers, they sleep all the time!

Thank's Yvonne, but Canada can keep the title for this year. This winter lasted only month- month and a half, and I was sick for most of it so I didn't even go to ski! Now it's foggy, rainy, muddy and the snow is melting... in other words, full spring.

[emma]

Paula, I have to agree with you - our winter laster 2 weeks!  And I saw no snow at all :(

Sorry about the trible-post...computer misbehaved.

Sorry about the trible-post...computer misbehaved.

No worries, Paula.  It's easily fixed :D
