interesting (ha ha)

[chestnutcurls]

Okay, I guess I'll do this thing too: Pick an interest from my interests list that you either: 1: don't know anything about or 2: can't understand why I would like it.

The anonymous-notes-to-20-people thing looks fun too, but I just don't have time. :)

Super Puzzle Fighter?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

It's a Playstation game, kind of like Tetris only you have to think the opposite way. You group blocks of the same color together to create "gems," and when you break them, the other person gets slammed with blocks which they then have to break. It's addictive. :)

What is aiel?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

The Aiel are a race in the Wheel of Time books. They're sort of a blend of Japanese and Native Americans...most of them (including the women) are in these warrior societies, and they have a system of honor that their whole society is based around. It's hard to describe, but I think they're really cool. You have to read the books, I guess. suziannabean is probably the only person on the friends list who knows what that is, because she has Aviendha on her interests list, the coolest Aiel of all. :)

I'm a super-dork.

Is "calvinism" the study of Calvin & Hobbes?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

LOL. Nope, a good definition can be found

LOL. Nope, a good definition can be found <a href-"http://www.reformed.org/calvinism/">here</a>. :)

[cafemusique.livejournal.com]

Um...where? :-P

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

I couldn't click it either, though I can tell it's purple and therefore a link. The source has the URL:

http://www.reformed.org/calvinism/

I'm not sure what happened to make it not show up.

[cafemusique.livejournal.com]

OK...I didn't get anything purple out of it. (Though I had a strong suspicion that clicking on "here" was the desired response.)

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

No the "here" is purple because links are purple. Brenda's journal has text in black and links in purple, but it's a dark purple so it's really hard to tell. Anyway, you can't click on her link, for some reason, but she did attempt to make a link so I don't know what's wrong.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Sorry guys. :( I guess I should change my link colors.

[stacye13.livejournal.com]

nah, think of how much research people had to do to find out the answer - you remember stuff better when you have to "work" for it! Now I know there was a person named John Calvin, etc. Not the cute kid from the comics. ;)

How often do you burst into song? Or is it other people bursting into song that you like? Or birds in the morning? Elaborate. (-:

[stacye13.livejournal.com]

I have a semi-educated guess - is it for Buffy, the musical? Did anyone else wake up this morning & burst into song? ;)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Good job! *gold star*

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

All of the above. :) I usually burst into song when the cat (or the bunny) is nearby. I once called, "Cat, cat," to Gandalf in a singsong way, so Evan made up a song:

Cat-Cat, he's Cat-Cat
He has two names, and they're the same,
Cat-caaaaat!

But yes, I like all variations of song-bursting. I'm sure you haven't seen this, but there was a musical episode of Buffy where a curse came over the town and they were all forced to sing about their innermost feelings. I've quoted from it a few times in the lyrics quiz. It's one of the greatest episodes in TV history. :)

twoo wuv?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

It's from The Princess Bride as spoken by the senile old priest. If you haven't seen that movie, you should. You'd love it. :)

Mawiage. Mawiage is what bwings us togeder tooday. Mawiage, that bwessed awangement, that dweam within a dweam...And wuv, twoo wuv, will fowow you fowever...So tweasure your wuv.

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, I cannot count how many times Josh has said "twoo wuv" to me. He is a big Princess Bride fan. lol

[radiojedi.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that movie. I just didnt remember that lol

[chocomilkbanana.livejournal.com]

Girl, all I've got to say is, "You're awesome!"

I absolutely love that movie - "Inconceivable!"

[laraemily.livejournal.com]

Enlighten me on 'weezer'. :-D

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Weezer is an awesome rock band. Their most famous song is probably "Buddy Holly"...the video was like an episode of Happy Days. If that rings any bells. :)

who is r.c. sproul?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

R.C. Sproul is a theologian. He has a ministry called Ligonier Ministries (http://www.ligonier.org) and has written many books like Chosen By God and The Holiness of God. I like him because he has the C.S. Lewis knack of explaining deep things in concise, easy-to-understand terms.

[laura8225.livejournal.com]

When you say "scrubs," do you mean the TV show or the clothes?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Definitely the TV show. :) Have you seen it? You would love it. I think it's the best show on TV. Evan quotes from it constantly.

[laura8225.livejournal.com]

I think I saw one once, and it was pretty funny. I didn't know it was still on. I'll have to look for it. :)

Tuesday nights at 8:30!

[balalaika.livejournal.com]

Hey, I like your interests list. There's a few people's names listed that I'm not familiar with but most of it looks good to me!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! :)

[skybri.livejournal.com]

The blue castle?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

The Blue Castle (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553280511/qid=1080051962/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-9755938-1255004?v=glance&s=books) is my favorite LM Montgomery book. It's about a woman who, when she learns she has a year to live, breaks free of her Pharisaical family and fulfills her dreams. It's not just a cheesy love story as the cover would have you believe, nor a novel for ages 9-12 as Amazon would have you believe. :P :)

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

What's "blast!" ?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Blast! (http://www.blasttheshow.com) is like drum corps (marching band) on a stage, sort of like STOMP only more complicated. It's awesome. If it ever comes to Cleveland, you and Josh should go. :)

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. Sounds cool! I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. :D

[brusse.livejournal.com]

Vanilla coke? Blææh! That stuff is nasty!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

:`(

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Vanilla Pepsi is where it's at. ;)

[chocomilkbanana.livejournal.com]

What, more specifically, is it about "Children's Literature" that you like?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Everything. :) Some of it is better than adult literature, because the author can't just write about sex or something...there has to be an actual plot. Imagine that! :P I think my real calling is to be a children's librarian, or to own a bookstore like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. But I feel like it's too late now. Maybe I can take some library science after I have kids, or something.

[dakoda.livejournal.com]

Yay! You should totally do that! I think that is a way awesome idea:)
