I wanna play!

1. Your hobbies? Reading, biking, gardening, and adopting animals that I don't have room for
2. Your favorite drink (alcoholic or non or both)? Wine, craft beer, and coffee
3. Your favorite movie? HP movies, Princess Bride
4. Your favorite book? Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series, HP series, and about half a million others
5. Your celeb crush? Alexander Skarsgård and Emily Blunt
6. The best vacation you've been on? Camping trip up the NC outer banks when H and I were dating
7. Your dream vacation destination? Scotland
8. Favorite holiday? Halloween or Thanksgiving
9. Favorite food? All of the foods!!
10. Do you have a celeb doppelgänger? If yes, who? Nope

Ha, yes!

I really want to make it to the outer banks.

I missed this yesterday! I'll play now.

1. Your hobbies? Photography, travel, baking, crafts, board games
2. Your favorite drink (alcoholic or non or both)? Right now, I'm a big fan of Kentucky Mules. For non-alcoholic, I love soda counter cherry Coke.
3. Your favorite movie? This is so tough. I don't really have one favorite, but there are movies I will watch over and over. Star Wars IV-VI, Indiana Jones trilogy, Back to the Future trilogy, Princess Bride, and almost anything Disney.
4. Your favorite book? Again, no true favorite, but ones I read over and over. The Time Traveler's Wife, Ender's Game, The Giver, and three sets of quartets by Tamora Pierce (Song of the Lioness, The Immortals, and Protector of the Small).
5. Your celeb crush? Hard to say since I feel like I crush more on the characters they play than who they actually are in real life. If you want to talk character crushes, I think we could start a whole thread on that.
6. The best vacation you've been on? They're all amazing in their own way, but probably a tie between our honeymoon in Costa Rica and our trip to Peru.
7. Your dream vacation destination? Everywhere I haven't been! But the most theoretical one right now would be Egypt since it's unlikely we'll go there anytime soon. And also Antarctica since H has no desire to go there.
8. Favorite holiday? Any one where my family gets together.
9. Favorite food? Macaroni and cheese
10. Do you have a celeb doppelgänger? If yes, who? Not that I know of? I haven't had anyone say I have one.

Okay, so that was tough! I don't do well with favorites.

[honda13]

1. Your hobbies? Camping and reading
2. Your favorite drink (alcoholic or non or both)? Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi
3. Your favorite movie? Father of the Bride
4. Your favorite book? The Innocent Man
5. Your celeb crush? Mark Whalberg
6. The best vacation you've been on? Our honeymoon
7. Your dream vacation destination? Ireland
8. Favorite holiday? Halloween
9. Favorite food? Any
10. Do you have a celeb doppelgänger? If yes, who? Rebel Wilson

[marshian]

I should clarify: I don't want to go to Antarctica because my H doesn't want to go. It's on the "dream" list since it's not on the we-could-actually-go-there-in-the-near-future list.

rosey06 we like to do Rehoboth! Specifically the dogfish head brewpub, lol. It's a calmer place than OC though.

Nice! We used to stay a 5 min drive from rehoboth, at hub's uncles house. Then drive down to OC every day. he moved back here though.

There will never be anyone better at lip sync battle. Snowden is going to be interesting. It seems he has put a ton of background research and thought into it

Yeah a stroller is a pram to us.
I love French fries and always ask for them instead of our normal chips that come with food in restaurants etc.

Pants = trousers
Pants to us mean underwear, it can be funny sometimes.

Eraser = rubber
Funny story... When I was in year 8 (sophomore for you guys I think?!) we had an American girl transfer in our school, she was in my English class sat opposite the table from me, I asked her for a rubber since she had one next to her and the look on her face was priceless. She then told me that rubbers are condoms in American, my face was SO red (being only 13 and all lol)
