GTKY: Cuz it has been a while!

[sweetpeabee]

We need a GTKY thread here, because it has been a while since I have been around you ladies and S14 was a kick-a$$ group! 

So I am not terribly creative (or focused enough) to come up with a full GTKY, so every post needs to add an additional question. No need for the questions to be related. Lets just get as many random questions as we can!

I started to,but got really confused trying to keep everyone straight because the books overlap so much series to series.

Yeah, me too. Every time I start a book I have to read the previous book synopsis.

bobcat that is a very interesting idea for a party! I go through spurts where I am super into politics and then not so much. I am going to be honest.... the last time I really watched a SOTU and payed attention was in college and it was part of a drinking game. (Hanging my head in shame) It may only be Tuesday, but flame away!
