I just so glad this is not the 'do you know how bad Carol sucks at Kerth quizzes' quiz you promised me!

1. Book you're currently reading? Mine, the one I'm writing. And sort of Chris Baty's No Plot? No Problem! A Low Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days [which I got Dec. 12. You know. Just in time for Nano... :p ]
2. Last fanfic you read? Um, actually, On the Other Hand. Not sure why I started. A few cringe worthy things but not many... Before that was Kathy's Momentum, I think

4. Favorite sauce on pasta? Depends on the pasta but a marinara/alfredo mix
5. Favorite pizza toppings? Cheese or hamburger
6. Episode of L&C you never get tired of? Season's Greedings

8. Next vacation you're planning? DH and I are hoping for a weekend away [meaning the Marriott in town :p ] and I am going to Phoenix in April. And maybe Vegas sometime . Talked with my neighbor today about going to Mall of America this summer [wanna come shop Jenn?]
9. Something you're scared of? Rejection. Which is why the OF will likely never get published.
10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch? Um... The Steven Segal Cop show is on now... but DH is watching it... My personal guilty TV pleasure... Not sure...
11. Your first celebrity crush? Ricky Shroeder - do not judge
12. Did/will you go to your 10-year reunion? We didn't really have one, but we are having an all school reunion in April that I am planning on going to [only a couple thousand people total ever went to the school so...]

Is that what you wanted, Jenn?

Carol [who is so horrid at quizzes she has been known to miss her own quotes and occasionally have problems with her own excerpts...]

1. Book you're currently reading? The Gatecrasher, by Madeleine Wickham. I love that it's always a toss up betweeen ridiculously embarrassing chick flick and serial killer fiction when you look at my bookshelf.
2. Last fanfic you read? Carol's last multi-part adventure.
3. Movie you're hoping to see soon? Heh maybe Avatar again!
4. Favorite sauce on pasta? Pesto.

6. Episode of L&C you never get tired of? Lucky Leon.
7. Episode of L&C you'd rather clean your bathroom than watch? Contact.
8. Next vacation you're planning? Can't decide. I should go home with my folks to visit our family in Texas, but ugh, they're going rodeo weekend, and try as I might, I picture myself falling asleep while all my cousins are cheering at people running around with bulls.
9. Something you're scared of? Sometimes the dark. Sometimes it's totally soothing, and sometimes I'm planning my escape out the window for when the axe murderer charges down the hall to do me in.
10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch? Sigh, the Nanny. I don't know why I'm so addicted to that show...
11. Your first celebrity crush? Probably Patrick Dempsey. Not sure I remember what celebrities were like before him. :p
12. Did/will you go to your 10-year reunion? Eh. I might. I haven't spoken to anyone from high school except 2 or 3 people. I hope the rest of them have forgotten all the drama they caused...heh, who am I kidding, I could still spit on every one of them for sticking me in the middle of a fight that happened almost 10 years ago. I probably won't make it. :p

5. Favorite pizza toppings? Mushrooms
6. Episode of L&C you never get tired of? "Virtually Destroyed". Neither Jaxon's bicycle helmet nor his muscle-y avatar can ruin the talk or the scene in Lois' bedroom.

Karen said:
OMG! TWoT is actually going to get finished?!? I quit checking the Tor site a few months after RJ died and had pretty much given up hope of ever finishing the series. Yay!

ETA
Hey, hey! I love that show. It's the show that got me into fanfics and it's where I met KathyB. As for why I love it, see my answer to #11 Also, the premise is fun, Fran Drescher is hilarious (most of the time) and the Niles/CC relationship is fascinating - full of hate, loathing and lust. It doesn't get much better, unless it lasts longer.
*grumbles* stupid network...

10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch? - Actually I don't currently watch any shows on a regular basis, but the last one I watched regularly was Coronation Street but it got so unrealistic and boring that I gave up watching it about nine months ago (after watching it for many more years than I care to admit!)
11. Your first celebrity crush? - Gee, that's going back a while. I suppose it would be Erik Estrada from CHiPs! Geez, what was I thinking!!!!!
12. Did/will you go to your 10-year reunion? - There hasn't been one to go to!

Brandon Sanderson has been given the task of completing the series, in part using notes and audio tapes left by RJ with his plans and ideas. TGS is the first of three books which will complete it.

1. Book you're currently reading?

Just started Tana French's The Likeness. Enjoying it so far.

2. Last fanfic you read?

Gosh, now you're asking. It was probably one I GE'd for the Archive...

3. Movie you're hoping to see soon?

There aren't any movies on my must see radar at the moment. Dawn Treader later this year, perhaps.

4. Favorite sauce on pasta?

Tomato and red onion.

5. Favorite pizza toppings?

Not much of a pizza person. Chinese is usually my takeout of choice. I do love Chicago Town pizzas though - pepperoni.

6. Episode of L&C you never get tired of?

Grief, haven't watched an episode in years. But I've have a hard time just picking one favourite.

7. Episode of L&C you'd rather clean your bathroom than watch?

None.

Spiders. Yuck.

10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch?

Can't think of one. I only have a small group of shows I watch these days and none of them are especially embarrassing.

11. Your first celebrity crush?

Can't recall that I've ever had one! There have been people I've liked over the years, but no one that I can recall making me really weak at the knees. I tend to focus on characters rather than actors in the main, so perhaps that's why. I probably had a crush on Clark Kent.


12. Did/will you go to your 10-year reunion?

Class reunions being, I think, a uniquely American thing, can't say I've ever been to one.

1. Book you're currently reading?

Child 44, by Tom Rob Smith, although I've barely started it. I've just read White Nights, by Anne Cleeve, which is the second in a quartet of whodunnits set on Shetland. (The descriptions of Shetland are brilliant; I found myself nodding over and over, remembering things the author was describing.)

2. Last fanfic you read?

Something relating to The Man From UNCLE.

3. Movie you're hoping to see soon?

Do you mean in the cinema? If so, I have no immediate plans. We don't have a cinema nearby, so I usually only get to go when I'm visiting a city, and then it'll be on a whim.

Nothing with pepperoni! I'm rather fond of mushrooms, though.

Probably the one with the voodoo in it. Or the Myxptl... Christmas episode.

All up for grabs at the moment. I had great plans for this year, but they've pretty much been overtaken by events. I could just stay home and (finally) landscape my garden and tile the bathroom!

Wasps.

10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch?

X-Factor. Mind you, I managed to avoid most of it this year.

12. Did/will you go to your 10-year reunion?

No.


Krissie

1. Book you're currently reading? Last night, I flipped through "Small Miracles" for a quick, waffy read. Tomorrow, I will be going to the Library.

10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch? Sometimes watching "The Newlewed Game" on GSN can be both etertaining and idea generating for when I fianlly find my Mr. Right.

11. Your first celebrity crush? Good question...probably Tom Cruise, back in the mid 80's. That followed by Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing." I also adored Adam as in He-Man. None of those real or cartoon characters affected me anywhere near the way a certain Dean did in L and C!

1. Book you're currently reading?

Uh, um, errrr...other the Bible I haven't really been reading much lately. Too busy trying to learn how to knit.

I dunno, something Doctor Who related. I don't read a lot of fanfic, and I don't really read any for L&C.

3. Movie you're hoping to see soon?

I kind of want to see Avatar. I kind of don't. Other than that, I'm not sure.

9. Something you're scared of? My loved ones dying
10. Show you're totally embarrassed to admit you watch? I don't have time to watch anything these days and I don't generally get embarrassed so... ??
