Last Sunday at the YMCA pool. I played going underwater to fetch some rings and "hold your breath and have a tea party" underwater too. Oh, and my two young daughters played with me.
What do you like to play?

Well...yesterday my oldest and I played Frisbee golf... but my daughter likes to play "Hotel" where she (or I) check each other into the hotel (my wife works at the front desk of a hotel...go figure!)
Do you act differently on the internet than you do in person (maybe more outgoing...or whatnot)?

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
No really. It's just that the Internet doesn't reveal all of my quirks, my eccentricities, my insecurities, and so on. So I appear different, sure. But I don't think I act much differently. We adapt our behavior according to the situation or circumstances.
What about you?

I think that I am bolder than I would normally be (I am otherwise somewhat shy...however only in certain aspects...because I have no problem with public speaking). I never "flirt" in person, but I have on the internet...

Yes.
If you were staying in a hotel would you go to the vending machine in your pj's if you desperately wanted a coke?

Sure...my PJs are pretty modest...

No.
Would you be upset, even at all, if you got rained on?
No way! Rain is such a rare blessing here that I purposely go outside and sit in it when it does happen. When I'm at work and it rains its pretty typical for all the staff to go outside and just stand there watching it until the bosses go back inside and call everyone back in.
What's your most embarrassing incident of using either an incorrect word or incorrect grammar
I can't think of any for me...but I heard one in preaching school...
A very serious minded Bible professor was teaching about Abraham and Lot (Abraham's nephew). Lot and Abraham were parting ways due to an overcrowding issue, so Lot decided to move his flocks toward the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (the cities that were known for being destroyed for their profound homosexuality...this fact is important for the story...bear with me). The Scripture says that Lot "pitched his tent toward Sodom", however when this professor quoted the passage, he actually said, Lot "pinched his teat toward Sodom". yeah...the class lost it...
What is the funniest experience you've had in a college or high school class?

There was a girl training a guide dog (it was only a 10 week old puppy) that was in one of my classes. During the final for the exam, the prof volunteered to lead the dog around so the girl wouldn't be distracted. A few minutes into the exam we all jump because the prof burst out laughing. The puppy was peeing on the carpet floor of the lecture hall
What is your favourite class that you've ever gotten to take, an any level of schooling?
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
That's pretty good! I was thinking randomly of when I took psychology in college and the mouthy pseudo intellectual in the class kept saying "symbology" when he actually meant "symbolism"...I was amused on one hand and highly irritated on the other hand. And another time for Interpersonal Communications when I had a teacher who was mentioning something about linguistics but actually said "linguism". At least she caught the mistake though...
In answer to your question, Classic, I think my favorite class was either my Senior English class (fantastic teacher) or English Literature part I class (Beowulf through the Romantic period...another fantastic teacher)
Same question
My favourite class at university turned out to be 20th Century Literary Theory.
It's a famously dreaded compulsory course, and I went in with much trepidation, and not much expectation, but I thoroughly enjoyed the research and the readings, and I got an 'A'!
I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is because it was so challenging.
