Thanks, shameless!
I don't want to steal Capn's thunder, but as he's not yet available, I guess I can answer your questions for me.
If you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives?
My friends, I guess. They are amusing. Harry Potter would be cool too.
What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?
Getting to know so many wonderful people through this site, and actually learning in school.
What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?
I speak Yiddish. I have a strange bone bump on my thumb that just appeared one day and I don't know how/why it is there.
If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out?
My little sister.
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?
This person would say that I am sweet and shy at first, but once you get to know me, I've got a really crazy (in a good way) side. I'm very caring and emotional, and I'm a good friend. This would be pretty accurate.
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?
I'd love to be an astronaut.
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? That you were given?
I don't know; I don't give very good gifts, usually. Okay, well, today I gave two of my teachers gifts. I gave my theatre teacher a mix of some of my favorite Broadway songs, which he was really excited about. I gave my statistics teacher a mug (which wasn't really a good gift at all) and a letter. When I went back to the classroom later, another teacher said my teacher was crying when I left. So, I guess that's good? I also gave one of my friends a really coll rainbow feathered fan for her birthday. My sister got my a RENT movie poster for my birthday, which was sweet. I'm blanking on other ones.
Wow, that was a long answer.
