[Jay Umbreon]

Hi. It's been about 18 months since I've posted a poll...but like bad taste, the knack never goes away :)


1. If you HAD to have a different first name, and you could choose it, what would it be?

2. If you HAD to live in a different country, where would you live?

3. Which search engine do you use when on the interweb? (interweb is a new, hip word for internet)

4. How old were you when you began to ride a bike?

5. What's your earliest memory of being a kid?

6. What's the most trouble you've gotten into with your parents?

7. If you lived in those long ago ages where TV didn't exist (like the LOTR days), would you be an ELF, HUMAN, DWARF, ORC or WIZARD?

-----------------
me:
-----------------

1. Tom

2. I would live in Australia

3. Googleplex

4. I was about 7 I think...either that or 6.

5. I remember being in my grandparents house, playing on some really old atari game with my grandad...then I remember playing toy cars :) awww.

6. When I spilt a bottle of tipex on the bathroom carpet. :( I had to leave the house for a few hours while my mum went ballistic.

7. I would be an Elf. So I could marry Arwen :) and turn Ashlea and Kt and Soo into my Elf-slave-ladies...they'd dance in green underwear, wear top hats and chant my name in russian.

~Jay

1. If you HAD to have a different first name, and you could choose it, what would it be?

- I'd keep my first name, but if I had to, I'd change it to... Ed

2. If you HAD to live in a different country, where would you live?

- I'd totally go all Eurotrash. Holland.

3. Which search engine do you use when on the interweb? (interweb is a new, hip word for internet)

- www.webwombat.com or Just plain google.

4. How old were you when you began to ride a bike?

- 3

5. What's your earliest memory of being a kid?

- Getting up at 4, letting myself out of the house, going down to the swings then going and visiting my neigbours before the sun was up and watching cartoons with them.

6. What's the most trouble you've gotten into with your parents?

- Mm... mum's all talk, she never does anything.

7. If you lived in those long ago ages where TV didn't exist (like the LOTR days), would you be an ELF, HUMAN, DWARF, ORC or WIZARD?

- EWwwwwwwwwww. Wizard. K :D

[cd]

i'd change my name to blake. i'd move to somewhere in america. google is bookmarked. don't know when i started riding, but around 7 i think. i can't remember what my earliest childhood memory was, and ones that i can remember i'm not sure if they were real or a dream. most trouble with my parents, they are all talk and no action, and we aren't social in anyway really so they don't have a clue about most things i do. and i would definately be an ork.

[Luthien Tinuviel]

Welcome back Jay, this is Ashley in case you didn't know...

1. I would change my name to Weatherfield. Don't ask me why, I really just like the name.

2. I would live in Spain, so I could see my pen-pal every day.

3. Google

4. 7

5. Getting caught watching MTV on Saturday mornings. That and getting stung on my butt by a bee.

6. See above, and when I cussed out a guy at the movies because he started making fun of Lord of the Rings.

7. I would loooooooove to be Luthien Tinuviel. She had cool powers, and from what I could gather from Master Tolkien's description, Beren was a hottie. Yum ^_^

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Aragorn married Arwen.

1. Silvina. I've always liked that name.
2. I don't know... Finland, maybe. It sounds like a great place and I can stand the cold much better than the heat. Only I'd have to learn the language. Australia would be really cool to visit, but I don't think I'd want to live there. And then there's Israel... I've been there a few times and I could get used to living there, though I wouldn't feel too comfortable living in a country where a war is going on (which rules out the USA too).
3. Mostly Google. Sometimes Webcrawler, Altavista, Yahoo and Dogpile (which is actually a set of search engines).
4. 7
5. I have a few memories of when I was 2, about my old appartment... I'm not sure which of them was the oldest, but the most vivid was the night when my dad came into my room to glue a white moon and star on my blue closet.
6. It must be the time when we went to the USA and my brother and I were climbing a hill and I left him behind (I was 8 and he was 5).
7. If I could choose... I guess an elf would be cool. Wizards aren't really a race, you know.

[Jay Umbreon]

don't wanna sound arrogant or anything but my sword is waaaaay longer than aragorns ;)

and hey ash ^^ long time no see. hehe. we should talk sometime! get in touch with me on AIM (JayUmbreonTPM)

bai bai.

6. Over the years I've done a few REALLY BAD things... but we won't go into it because it's kinda... mmmm yeah i just don't want to say ;o

7. I would be an elf so i could be Jay's elf-slave-lady who dances in green undies with a top hat and chants his name in Russian :wave:

Spreading butter all over the kitchen when I was 3. Good times.

6. What's the most trouble you've gotten into with your parents?

7. If you lived in those long ago ages where TV didn't exist (like the LOTR days), would you be an ELF, HUMAN, DWARF, ORC or WIZARD?

2. Prolly France or somewhere like that, a place a little warmer than the UK and maybe where the people are a little less unruly.

3. Interweb? @_@;;; Umm, I use Google, is there any real need to use any others?

4. Let me let you into a little secret. I never really managed to get the hang of bikes. I possess the world's worst sense of balance, and I'd rather walk anyways!

5. Umm, prolly helping me mum to make the sandwiches my grandad used to take to work before he retired, that or the old family washing machine that used to run halfway up the kitchen because it vibrated so much and we all used to have to hold it in place

6. Hmm... dunno, I think the big question here is how much trouble have my parents got in with me! :o I don't really fight much with me mum, she's too laid back and never had much in the way of authority anyways. ^_^;;;

7.

In your dreams, Jay. :P I suppose I'd have to be an elf too in order to have equal elf powers to this guy and hence stop him from stealing my girlfriend and making her talk Russian. You do realise Soo talks little sense in English, never mind another language, right? :D

~*~

1. Kikyo. Don't ask...I just hate my real name for an odd reason...(Laura)

2. Japan....or Ireland. The paganism and landform in Ireland would be cool, but there's the drunken Catholics...so I guess either one would be great...^^;;

3. MSN

4. With training wheels, 2(almost 3). Without training wheels, 7.

5. When I was three, I was put in this Bible School and on the first day, I bit another girl's arm. When we grew older, we resolved our differences...xD

7. Wizard....or Elf. Either one would be cool...>:D

[mistysakura]

1. If you HAD to have a different first name, and you could choose it, what would it be?
