The person below me

J.S.F. · May 23, 2013

True. More like years, really. I gave up eating beef many years ago when my first son was born. I very rarely eat pork or chicken or fish, maybe once or twice a month, if that. Eggs iz where it's at for me.

The person below me likes 60's music.

Liralen · May 23, 2013

False, sort of. I like my vintage music in small doses, starting with the protest and psychedelic genres. Mostly I listen to current rock.

The person below me doesn't believe that grits are really food.

Tell that to Maury Chaykin in My Cousin Vinny! OF COURSE they're food.

The person below moi spends an average of $500 dollars a year on clothing upgrades.

Liralen · May 23, 2013

Or less. Yes, that's counting shoes. I need to start sewing again. It's actually more expensive (or would be if I didn't have that huge stash of fabric), but I can make things the way I want them, and so that they fit.

The person below me wears a lot of black.

Robbert · May 24, 2013

True. A few years ago, I went to a tailor and ordered eight (black) trousers.

The person below me has never tried Marmite.

J.S.F. · May 24, 2013

Oh, yes he has...and it is VILE!

Paul can have it, thanks.

The person below me has eaten natto (fermented soy beans) at least once in his/her life.

Chris P · May 24, 2013

I don't remember, actually. It's quite possible but I'm not sure.

The person below me has the same thing for lunch nearly every day.

Robbert · May 24, 2013

Not that I'm a fussy eater, but thank God it varies.

The person below me can't stand first person narrative.

Jehhillenberg · May 24, 2013

False. False. False. I mostly write and read YA fiction, which is majority written in first-person narrative. Third-person would be refreshing to read and write, but I don't knock first-person, especially when done well enough I'm not annoyed with the MC.

The person below me is rather indecisive.

Spiral · May 24, 2013

I can't decide.

No, false, usually. I almost always know what I want.

The person below me is glad it's Friday.

Robbert · May 24, 2013

Go figure.

In the company of friends, the person below me uses four-letter words all the time.

J.S.F. · May 24, 2013

Fuck, yeah! (Done in my best 'Paul' voice)

Well, not all the time...just a lot of it when I'm angry, which is most of the time...but not all of the time.

The person below me graduated university with something higher than a BA in whatever.

Liralen · May 24, 2013

False. I'm just an ignorant female who has somehow managed to avoid the barefoot and pregnant pit . . . okay, well, I like going barefoot

But I did graduate from high school. Just a few weeks after I turned sixteen.

The person below me likes to sit out at night and ponder the stars and the spaces between.

Jehhillenberg · May 24, 2013

*snort* FALSE. I'm pursuing my bachelor's and I'm not planning beyond that. Nope. Just trying to get out with my sanity.

ETA: True. I'd like to do that, sit outside at night and stare up at the stars. I don't actually do that, but I definitely would. Now I'm thinking about that Dave Matthews Band song. Surely you may know which one.

The person below me usually keeps a list of tasks needed to be completed...or else nothing gets done.

Robbert · May 25, 2013

False. More often than not, I write things down on a list . . . only to forget where I put it.

The person below me has quite a few grammar pet peeves.

J.S.F. · May 25, 2013

WRONG!

AGAIN!

My older sister once told me if my grammar and syntax could improve, I'd have a bestseller in no time.

Well...

Having said that, I''m not the person so Godwin someone else on poor grammar or speling or what have you.

The indivvidle below ME goes for horoscopes, but only when they're true in his/her case.

Robbert · May 25, 2013

I give a f hoot.

The person below me grew up in a house which had thousands of books as well as one grand piano.

Liralen · May 25, 2013

False on the piano, although it might be close on the books. I read all sorts of age-inappropriate books, Dante, Beowulf, Chaucer, Poe (when I was home sick with mumps in second grade) . . . Played the violin, loathed the piano, even more so after they took my violin lessons away and tried to make me play piano. I love the sound a harpischord has though.

The person below me has never eaten kamut.

Jehhillenberg · May 25, 2013

True.

The person below me is listening to music right this instant.

Robbert · May 25, 2013

True. Pat Metheny.

The person below me has never been to a sauna.

Liralen · May 25, 2013

Only the ones in the gym. Great place to stretch. Yeah, I know, that's heresy. Grab the torches.

The person below me has never been invited to a sabbat.

Robbert · May 26, 2013

False.

The person below me follows the NBA, but knows very little about volleyball.

J.S.F. · May 26, 2013

False on both. Never cared for basketball all that much, and volleyball--my MIL at the height of 4'11" still plays at the age of 71--ain't my thing, either. I know a lot about both sports--just not interested.

The person who is below me treats himself/herself to something very high calorie once a week.

Robbert · May 26, 2013

False. I'm not into desserts, sweets, deep fried food, or cake with whipped cream and stuff. Fruit, veggies, little meat, fish and a good old cup of coffee and a fag is all I need.

The person below me won't eat eel because it's too fatty.

J.S.F. · May 26, 2013

Incorrectamundo. Eel--indeed, most fish--contains very good and healthy fats. Still, it's not my favorite kind of seafood.

The person below me has allergies.
