I role play all the time.

Right now I'm playing the role of someone who likes her job and doesn't want to kill one of her co-workers. It's pretty much the hardest role I've ever had to play.

Also, it's hell to level up.

Oooh, I've played that role myself, Wadds! ;)

In my senior year of high school, I was recruited at the last minute to be on a team for the finals of our school's "It's Academic" type tournament (one of the team members was sick the day of the final round). We ended up winning the tournament and I got a cool trophy. I felt sort of bad about keeping the trophy when I hadn't been on the team all along -- but I kept it anyhow. :biggrin:

As well you should. While you did not play a part in getting them to the championship round, you participated in their winning that round. For that, you deserve the trophy. Hopefully, the team member who was ill that day also received recognition...but if not, you did not make that decision and ought not feel guilt for that person being overlooked.

Thanks! :) That's basically what my mom told me at the time. I did answer a question that the missing player may or may not have been able to answer, had they been there. So I did contribute to the win.

I am not a rap fan but Doggystyle is the only CD I can listen to in its entirety. Well, I do skip # 10.

For no apparent reason, I am currently obsessed with Enya and Patricia McKillip.

I never heard of that show, but it looked pretty cool. The song in it, Ebudae, is one of my favorites. Of course, most of the 50 Enya songs I have are my favorites right now. :D :P

That's pretty cool, Sarge.

Owlie -- there's nothing wrong with having a Patricia McKillip obsession. :)

I cook at Portuguese celebrations here in California. We usually feed over 9000 people twice a year at these. A lot of fellowship and beer!

I was born on the same day as Dolly the sheep and Huey Lewis. I've always said they should clone myself so I could go "back in time" to tell myself how I awesome I am.

I won my home town tennis championship when I was 18, then gave it all up to play football (soccer).

Should have stuck to tennis.
