Sweet Zombie Jesus! I might even be the first person to answer this.

1) Ireland, Germany, and a few from Scottland

2) I suck at losing things: my keys, bike pump, and cell phone, but I did recover the cell phone. I lost all of these things at the same time. I would also be interested in relosing my virginity as I seem to have recovered that as well.

3) I haven't had a "real" vacation since I can remember...that is, over a week of lesiure. But I did take a few days over memorial day last year to go to Toronto and that rocked. I've been working this job for over a year and half and just broke 40 hours of vacation time accumulated.

4) Most recent dream was a nightmare of sorts that I can't remember all the details. I do remember staying awake for a while after I woke up in the middle of it so I wouldn't pick up where I left off if I went back to sleep to quickly. Otherwise it's been pretty bleak in dreamworld.

5) "War, huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

1) Wales, Scotland, and a little bit from England.

2) My mind? But seriously I can't remember the most recent thing I lost. I know the remote wanders occasionally, so I would probably have to go with that.

3) Summer of 2003, 10 days in Utah with family. But between flying with two little ones, traveling back and forth to make the families happy, well, it wasn't much of a vacation.

4) I have had so many dreams lately they are running together. I recall one recently that involved some bizarre sort of fantasy world, swords and monsters, that sort of thing. Yes, I am a nerd.

5) Since I am blasting music into my ears through my headphones I have whatever the current song playing is. Right now? "Quiet Place" by In Flames.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

Ireland, mainly, but also England, Holland, Germany, China, and Africa


2/ What have you lost lately ?

Where to start...keys, cell phone, debit card, checkbook, drivers license...all in my car...and all found again


3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

This past July, in Mesquite, Nevada.



4/ What was your most recent dream about ?

Ummm...being locked inside of a closet, with stairs that were at the back of the closet. The stairs lead to nowhere.





5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?

Never Alone from ZOEgirl, as well as Kiss the Rain from Billie Myers

1. I'm 3/4 German, 1/4 Danish. I'm sure those aren't the true parts...there's probably lots of mutt in me, too.

2.You're kidding, right? I lose about 15 things every day. So much so that the only thing permanent that I've lost is my mind.

3. We have a 3 day weekend from school right now! I just woke up, its 8:30, and the only thing we have planned for today is motorcycle hunting. As for a vacation that was planned and taken for any length of time...I guess that would be right after my senior year of high school. We went to a resort in northern Minnesota with my mom, dad, sister and I, and I think only one aunt and uncle joined us at the resort. Link We fished, swam, and one day I woke up to see Andrew, the resort owners' son, then about...hmmm...11...looking in on me sleeping. Looking forward to our spring break this year, though. We're going to LA...going to the PRICE IS RIGHT, baby!

4. I had one last night, but I don't really remember what it was about. The most recent one I remember was that another teacher at school was trying to steal me away from Ryan.

5. "She's Been On My Mind" (I think that's what it is called), by Hawk Nelson.

hi melissa. WELCOME

and the West entrance side of Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)

i'm australian, melissa, so this sounds like a dream to me. reminds me of yogi bear !

Maternal - English and Danish. Fraternal - Irish and Scottish

what a lovely mix. i bet you have some lively family occasions !

and one day I woke up to see Andrew, the resort owners' son, then about...hmmm...11...looking in on me sleeping.

awww, marcie helen, i think that's so sweet (in a slighty creepy way !). he had a crush on you !

So much so that the only thing permanent that I've lost is my mind.

hah !. i know the feeling, marcie helen, i really do !

Ummm...being locked inside of a closet, with stairs that were at the back of the closet. The stairs lead to nowhere

oh, yuck !. i do hope that was a 'one off' !

Ireland, mainly, but also England, Holland, Germany, China, and Africa

what a diverse and fascinating family you have, silver and jade tears

I recall one recently that involved some bizarre sort of fantasy world, swords and monsters, that sort of thing. Yes, I am a nerd.

oh, that sounds great. i try to have dreams about more creative stuff, but i rarely do, so i envy your dreamlfe, bludev !

Wales, Scotland, and a little bit from England.

another lovely boy. that's a great lineage, bluedev

Sweet Zombie Jesus! I might even be the first person to answer this.

alphonse !. you're awake at the same time as me !. you're a real person !

*swoons * *faints*

Ireland, Germany, and a few from Scottland

a fine pedigree, alphonse. exchange 'german' for 'english' and you have moi !. and i think your 3rd and 4th answers are connected somehow.

I would also be interested in relosing my virginity as I seem to have recovered that as well.
 

that damned '2nd virginity' thing. i suffered from that, too. it seems to happen once you link arousal with intellectual stimulation. i'm like a pavlovian dog now with clever men. (ugh. don't tell anyone i said that. how mortifying).

Anscestors: German-Irish


Ugg, the eyes aren't working too well this morning LW. When I first read that I swear it said "German-ish". I was going to ask what exactly German-ish was. Now I just feel like an idiot.

I did the exact same thing, and didn't notice it wasn't german-ish until your post...

1/ Ancestry: Rather indeterminate, although most probably involving some Scots and English.
2/ Lost: a roll of film. (Found it in my coat pocket a week later.)
3/ Vacation: I took a sick day Tuesday... does that count?
4/ Dream: the main bit that I recall from anything recent was following Krystal around as she was a teenager, wandering about a building.
5/ Song: Lump, because I just read some amusing parody lyrics on Groklaw.

Anscestors: German-Irish

just like suspeckted, sabrina. this is a combination that i like !

a new friendship i was trying to rebuild with an old internet acquaintance, and any respect i once had for her and her lover

such fickle morons don't deserve your friendship, sabrina. and you have some new contenders to replace those turds anyway. such as my good self ! heh !. (i always end up typing daft stuff to you when i'm up late, you know !).

Lucid, dreamt on purpose for metaphysical reasons

i've been looking lately at ways to have more input into what i dream, and i think this is fascinating.

 

Now I just feel like an idiot

ah, no need bluedev. i make far dumber mistakes than that almost daily. just hang around for a while. it's certain to happen !

1/     Where are your ancestors from ?


I honestly don't know.  I was adopted as an infant, and have no family history.  Now my adoptive family aka my 'real' paents...they're french.  We are a bunch of bastards...descended from the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror.  We pissed royalty off for many years, so much so that a couple of us got imprisoned in the Tower of London...where we got inventive and scratched our name into the stone of the wall.  It's still there, I've seen it.


 


 


2/     What have you lost lately ?


 umm...my supper, literally, the night before last.


 


3/     When did you last have a vacation ?


This summer.  We stayed with D's folks in Indiana.  Before that..well, it's been years.  Like 10 years or more.


 


 


4/     What was your most recent dream about ?


I was trying to comb my hair and it was coming out in clumps.


 


 


5/     Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?


'Picture Book'...i dunno by who, but it's a song on a TV commercial for digital cameras.

citahellion, were you by any chance holding a large stick and chasing a teenaged boy away from her ?

I took a sick day Tuesday... does that count?

as long as you wasted it and had a relaxing day !

Ancestry: Rather indeterminate, although most probably involving some Scots and English.

i suspected as much also, citahellion.

I did the exact same thing, and didn't notice it wasn't german-ish until your post

silver and jade tears, i wonder how sabrina will feel about being mistaken for, err, german-ish. whatever it is !!. sounds interesting, at the very least !

LoL... german-ish...perhaps the hope of being German, mixed with the denial that you aren't? Not that Sabrina is that...as that is a misread...

that's a terrible nightmare, dharma. sounds like a stress symptom to me.

umm...my supper, literally, the night before last

i'm not surprised with everything you've had going on. i do hope you're feeling well again

We are a bunch of bastards...descended from the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror. We pissed royalty off for many years, so much so that a couple of us got imprisoned in the Tower of London

i think that's exciting, dharma !. how glam !. and they are so lucky to have you. my family are boring and dotty hehe !.

indeed, silver and jade tears. but i do like your description of what german-ish might be. and sabrina could never pass for german-ish with her irish flaming red hair to give her away !
