Favorite movie: wayne's word, princess bride, empire records....actually i have a lot Favorite band/artist: toad the wet sprocket (a lot of 90s "college wuss rock" and i'm a music snob) Favorite book: harry potter- any of them (honestly haven't read anything else since i read those) Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): probably names based off of tv shows or books...like hermione, ron, or teyla (from stargate atlantis- this one is an actual possibility), amelia or rory (from doctor who) Dream job: i used to want to work for a record company, but music these days is shit....but now i'd love to be a photopass photographer for disney, or anything photography related, or anything disney related.... Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: i think i brought this up already, but my senior year of hs i asked the guitarist from toad the wet sprocket to the prom...he wrote back and said no....and it's so sad to me that the most interesting thing about me is from 18 years ago and really means nothing to the majority of people

Favorite movie: When Harry Met Sally Favorite band/artist: I don't know if I really have a "favorite" right now I like Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and yes, I'll admit I love Taylor Swift Favorite book: The Help Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): I read the name Auden in a book (after the poet) and loved it! DH not so much. Also in the same vein I like Langston. Dream job: If I could get paid to eat, read and travel that would be great! Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: I had back surgery for scoliosis at 15. I have a rod and six screws in my spine. No, I don't set off metal detectors. But sadly I can never have an epidural because of this.

Okay, it is always so hard for me to pick just one but I will try
Favorite movie: The Wizard of Oz Favorite band/artist: John Mayer Favorite book: The Giver Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): Girl - Briar, Boy - Cedar ... Apparently I secretly like nature themed names. I also really love super Irish/Gaelic names but most would never work in America and the poor kid would be forever spelling and pronouncing it out to people! Dream job: Adult oncology RN ... just graduated nursing school so on my way there! Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: I am left handed, which alone isn't super interesting, but I was the ONLY left handed kid in school until 9th grade which meant in gym classes through elementary school I learned how to play all sports right handed like everyone else. I write and eat with my left hand but do everything else right handed.
privacy I would have never pegged you for a Swift fan...interesting.
chilibeansm0m Why have you visited Japan so much? Did you like it? DH's best friend teaches english to foreign students and DH actually went to visit him in Japan when we first started dating. Of course I missed the trip, but we've talked about going some day, when we win the lottery.
littleheaven as a person whose idol is a men's figure skater, no judgement.
TheEleventhHour Lefties unite! I've learned to do surgery with all right handed instruments because left handed ones are so goddamn expensive.
@aeroplaneoverthesea i have been there because my dad was actually born there. He is half Japanese. Little ww2 grandpa met grandma there story. My grandma had a number of living sisters there still up until recently, unfortunately most have passed now. I still have my half aunt there, 2 cousins and their kids. I haven't been since 2009. It sucks cause i also haven't seen them since then. Obviously with kids that would be a tough trip and my cousins are all scared to fly. Granted the flight is long but come on! Come visit us already!!

Favorite movie: Pulp Fiction, Princess Bride, Xanadu (don't hate - I LOVED that movie when I was much younger) Favorite band/artist: Natalie Merchent/10K Maniacs, Maroon 5, Alphaville Favorite book: Ugh, I read at least a book a week (more before DD), so that's hard. I like longer, more developed stories, so any series sucks me in. Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones are probably the most recognizable faves. Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): Ezra, Desmond, Evangeline, Magdelena Dream job: Savory Chef that only has to work 9-5 Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: I'm an artistic math person - sort of an odd combo. I ended up as a math/comp sci major, but seriously considered a medical illustration at one point. If I was a half dozen+ years younger, I probably would have ended up in graphic design. Or as a chef, cause that's all about artistic precision!
TheEleventhHour and @aeroplaneoverthesea - DD seems to be developing as a lefty. DH and I are both RHed, but 2 of his 3 siblings are lefties (and neither of his parents were). I always wished that I could be ambidextrous -- I used to try so hard to write or draw with my left hand, but it would not cooperate

tarheelmom DH and I are both left handed but DS favors his right! FIL, MIL, BIL are also all left handed where I am the only lefty in my family. It is so interesting to see them develop handedness.
Favorite movie: My Fair Lady, Princess Bride Favorite band/artist: Britney Spears, Reba McEntire, Lumineers, Simon & Garfunkel... many others Favorite book: Wicked, Lamb, Queen of the Slayers, Postmortal, and almost anything by Laurell K Hamilton Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): Alexander... only guilty because I would always associate it with Xander from Buffy Dream job: Zookeeper or Wildlife Photographer Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: I play the trombone! Ha! But another... I used to work at a veterinary clinic that saw about half a dozen tigers a year. My cats have a tiger fur (from shaving for an IV) ball toy.
Favorite movie: The War Favorite band/artist: The National Favorite book: I don't really enjoy reading but I loved Me Before You Favorite guilty pleasure baby name(s): Girl - Juniper/Maple, Boy - Leif Dream job: I'm looking into getting an English as a second language certification so I can work when we move Bonus: Interesting tidbit about yourself: We traveled to 7 countries last year
