More than one. But I finished them later. Do you have a college degree? ---

Yes. Did you enjoy your college experience, all in all? ---

Yes. It was pretty fun… My college was actually very small, maybe 15 classrooms or so, and was in an office building. I didn’t get the _real_ college experience I had always expected but it was still fun. I will go back to a regular college in the future as soon as I figure out what to do - I didn’t finish, so I’d like to finish up and get some more edumacation under my belt. Do you know any magic tricks, and can you perform them without error? ---

No. Are you interested in “urban exploration” or abandoned things in general? ---

A little bit, sometimes, on a whim. Do you have a single favorite TV show now? ---

Alas, no. I say “alas,” because Thais really find that sort of thing entertaining. Have you ever played a drinking game? EDIT: Oops! Answered **EpicNonsense**. For **Amber** , no, not really. **Elendil’s Heir** , no, we don’t watch much TV. I have to say we enjoy watching DVDs of _Lost_, and now we’re on the third season of _24_, so maybe \*Lost \*at the moment. ---

I’ve played many a drinking game. They’re good fun to get a small party going and if you don’t know that many people there. Got a car? ---

No, but I love my bicycle, which I just got last year. Do you drive an American car? ---

No, I’m on my second Hyundai. I might get a Ford next time around. Did you own a skateboard in your youth? ---

No. But my young sons have recently introduced me to Presidents, which is fun. Do you really like to play any board games? ---

Monopoly, chess, scrabble… actually, pretty much anything. Do you picture **Amber in Treasury** as a hot chick? ---

Yes, despite my user name. It’s about 5:30 pm and the sun won’t go down for a couple of hours. Did you get rained on this week? ---

Yes, I got rained on this week. I think it’s supposed to clear up tomorrow and get warmer. It’s like 46 degrees now. Yuck. Do you like chopped chicken livers? With onions? And water crackers? ---

Ugh, no. But I like onions on some other things, and water crackers are good with several different cheeses. Have you seen a Smart Car this week? ---

I’ve never seen a Smart Car. Probably won’t catch on around here until they release the “smart pickup.” 😉 Have you ever had Texas barbecue?
