Even though it is not till tomorrow, it is never too soon to wish Papayahed a happy birthday and get to know her better!


1. How did you come about this site and what makes you keep coming back?
Nobody I knew in RL were big readers so I was looking for an online book club to join to broaden my reading horizons. My first book club read was Heart of Darkness.

2. Have you visited other countries than your own and what did you like about it or not like?
I’ve been to Mexico and Canada and I really like both.

Nope, but I’m dying to get a dog.

4. What makes you happy?
Being with friends and family and a really good margarita.

5. How is being a mod different from a regular member?
The biggest difference is that I’m now able to remove spam. The hardest part is staying out of arguments or if I do get involved refraining from writing something unmodlike.

6. How can you get away with being online at work?
My boss doesn’t work at my site and my work depends more on deadlines, I really can do whatever I want as long as I’m meeting expectations and all my reports are submitted on time.

7. How are you enjoying your time with Larry?
We’re having a great time.

8. If you could take one book, music album and one video with you to a desert island, what would they be?
Book: The Stand by Stephen King
Album: Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads by Jimmy Buffett
Video:Season1 of Ugly Betty or Star Wars Trilogy, I’m leaning towards Star Wars though.

In the past: swimming, playing,
Now: bicycling, reading, gardening sort of

Reading, doing puzzles, doing math problems, building things with Lego (I used to babysit a kid and we always played with the lego – he always wanted to quit before I was finished with my masterpiece)

A job well done.
Finishing races.


14. What are you naturally good at? (Skills, abilities, gifts etc.)
I’m good at Name that tune

15. What do people typically ask you for help in?

27. Favorite TV shows?
Ugly Betty
Eureka
Project Runway
Top Chef
Star Trek TNG reruns on Sci Fi


28. Which LitNet members would you like to meet in person if you could?
It sounds dopey but there’s something special and unique about everybody and I would like to meet you all, but if I had to pick the people to meet first it would probably be – Scher, Nightie, Naimh, Timmy (wherever he may be), Baddad.

29. Favorite post on the Forum?

Harry Potter – I don’t care about literary integrity, bring on the dough.

Happy Birthday. I am too lazy right now to go find a pic and upload it on Photobucket and then try to remember whether I'm supposed to copy the direct link or the img thing, and then go back onto LitNet (and probably sign in again) and then click the img insert button, and then tell IE to temporarily allow pop-ups and then click the img insert button and then preview my post to see if the picture is actually going to show up.

Instead, here is a link to Motley Crue from 1984 or something. It's Home Sweet Home:

Did you just add me in? :lol: I wasn't upset. I'm sure it was an oversight. Thanks. Happy birthday. I normally paste pictures in birthday threads, but this being an interview I thought a regular birthday thread would be coming as well. And I was to provide at least a picture. I guess I was wrong. So here's wishing you a happy birthday:
