severina2001 -- What is your favourite book, and why?
This one is pretty much impossible for me to answer. I read hundreds of books in a year and I love to read. Having to pick just one would be like having to choose a favourite child. So, since I can’t give you just one I’ll pick a few, but I could list hundreds.
Mysteries- I love mysteries, some of my favourites are Gaudy Night, by Dorothy L. Sayers, pretty much anything by Dick Francis, Elizabeth George (especially her early stuff), The Penny Ferry by Rick Boyer, and I adore Janet Evanovich.
Non-Fiction – The French Laundy Cookbook, The Not So Small House, A Year in Provence (this is one I reach for when I’m feeling really stressed), House and Among Schoolchildren by Tracy Kidder, French Impressions, and ‘Susie, Sadly and the Black Torpedo of Doom.’
Childrens- Harry Potter, The Four Story Mistake, Hugo and Josephine, Little Princess, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce.
General Fiction- Lord of the Rings (and all other JRR Tolkien.) The Last Convertible, A Home at the End of the World, The Divine Comedy, The Great Santini, The Endlesse Steppe, The Dreyfuss Affair, Tommy’s Tale.
Well, this is insane. I could go on forever. But you asked ‘why?’ and the answer to that is almost universally because they take me to another place with people who are interesting to be with.
windtossed -- how many more credits until you get your degree? (omgyay)
SEVEN!!!!! (and I’m taking nine!)
luciblue -- You apparently appear to be in school, so what're you majoring in? :]
Computer Science with an emphasis in Information Technology.
tclark1922 -- Have you ever purposely made someone angry?
Well, I don’t like to think so. But I work retail so I probably have. For instance, if someone comes up to me talking on their cell phone or charging around all in a hurry and can’t wait in line, I move as slowly as possible because they piss me off.
punkdoc - If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
OMG, you guys ask impossible questions! I’d go to France and visit the villages where my ancestors came from. I’d go to Japan and study at Kurenai Kai. I’d go to Paris and study at Lesage. I’d go to all the places in Canada where my family is from. I’d stay on Necker Island…pretty much anywhere I’ve sent B/J I’d go, but I wouldn’t walk the Inca Trail!
Feel free to ask a question here.

NINE?? WOW. I am Computer Science as well (as I think you know) but I am taking 15 credits right now (I need 15 to graduate!). *falls over*
Your school might work differently though. I have talked to some friends from high school who said they are taking like 21 credits at once and that is just not done at my school.
Now I am curious about where you go to school... but I know that's one of those things even I don't usually share online...

For the most part I havn't been able to afford to go full time (until I got finacial aid, yeah!) so I've been going year round, taking between 1 and 3 classes a semester. So I ended up with a strange number.
