Well, Iamnotaparakeet, I'm assuming that your guess about the next person to post is that they'll provide their own question. :D Why, thank you, I shall. Jenny, do you like to play sci-fi games?

Well, no, Jenny, I'm not a game player at all, for some reason. I quickly get bored playing computer games.


The next person will tell us why Iamnotaparakeet is not, in fact, a parakeet, and whether this constitutes false advertising. :wink:

I am not a parakeet because I don't just mimic things I hear without understanding. Also, more pertaining to the time I made my username, I had two parakeets, or otherwise known as budgies, which would boss around the cockatiels and treat them unfairly. Back when I was employed, I referred to people who were lazy and bossy, i.e. most supervisory and middle management, as parakeets. It's not false advertising though, even if I run my own business and have employees, I'm not going to treat them like crap like managers usually do. Lead by example, not by words of pompous command.


Sorry I forgot to post about the next person.

The next person has a way to connect to the internet... :P


Ok, the next person might like to read.

Yes, I CAN connect to the Internet (what a lucky guess!) and I certainly DO enjoy reading. Tonight I'll be starting the new Terry Pratchett novel. :)


The next person will tell us about a book they're currently reading or have read recently. :study:

I'm reading 'Erken mij'/'Recognize me' written by Esther Verhoef. A little booklet I got for free buying another a few months back. It's about a young woman in search for the true her, after years of running away. Blah (3x), with shrink a weekend in Paris and I'm in the middle of a passage where they are having sex in a hotel room. Close the book at the end of work break and now I do not dare to read any further. :oops:

8O :lol:

(nah, just kidding)

Next person has trouble getting out of bed in the morning.

Very much so. Spending a couple of hours hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock is quite common.



The next person is a morning person.

The next person loves fast food.

^^ Yaaye, hmmm, thankee theimperiousdork, I believe I do indeedy enjoy fast foods. ^^ However, I believe I am a happy vegetarian and thus does not purchase foods from a number of happy fast food restaurants, including KFC, McDonald's and Burger King. ^^ However, I believe I do enjoy purchasing foods from bakeries and Subway sandwiches.

^^ I believe the next happy poster also enjoys eating Subway sandwiches.

Nope, we don't have fireplaces here in our country. (Well, save for some places above the mountains.)

The next poster is doing something else, and will tell us what it is.

^^Yaaaye, hmmm, I believe this is very interesting lemon, for although not every day, I do enjoy teaching myself Japanese, however I find great difficulty in concentrating for this.

^^ I believe the next happy poster is also learning a happy language that is foreign for them.

Yep.

I can read Hangeul, but can't speak or comprehend Korean.
I am in level-one Arabic fluency level.
And I need to learn Japanese for me to be able to be transferred to the Japanese customer service department of our center. LOL

The next person needs to learn something.

Indeed,

I have three business textbooks to read: Principles of Marketing, Principles of Microeconomics, and Accounting I. Combined, I have 5 chapters I need to read by Friday, three discussions posts, three replies, three written assignments, and one set of practice problems.



The next person to post will post in English, at least in part.
