LizzyTish88 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?
Yes I am. I want to but at the same time I want to watch it for my mom. She vividly remembers Princess Diana's wedding, so we are going to make our own memories watching this one. I will not be missing work or anything though.

2. Plans for the weekend?
Saturday I have to get my cousin ready for pictures at her cheer gym. I am going to do her hair and make-up and bring her there. Sunday my dad is having a going away party for himself. He is moving to FL and wants to say farewell.

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.
It is spring in the sense that the weather is getting nicer, but it's raining all the time. So basically the normal New England weather.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.
Dairy Queen. I love me some ice cream. Also blasting the music in my car and singing my face off.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?
Hip. Hip-hop. Hip-hop-anonymous. Damn you, you give him all the easy ones!

Hazel_B · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

I am incredibly sick of the royal wedding. There is just too much coverage! I stupidly thought that I wouldn't have to deal with listening to all the television lead up stuff if I watched American television. It is just as bad if not worse than the Canadian. I feel bad for anyone getting married on Saturday, it'll be the first time people have a chance to talk about the royal wedding.

2. Plans for the weekend?

It is supposed to be nice outside this weekend here, can't wait to work in the garden more and work around the house.

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

Definitely...for the moment atleast.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

There are so many...right now it is eating Easter chocolate.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Hippo for sure

Hazel_B · April 2011

marleylikeair · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?
Yep. It's a part of history to me. Andplusalso, I can't wait to see the dress.

2. Plans for the weekend?
Work, then PAUL SIMON on Monday night in Minneapolis! WOO!

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.
Please see above, haha. We've had a couple nice days, but it's been wintry a lot. It's raining lightly today. Totally dreary.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.
Glee. Excessive amounts of chocolate and baked goods. Say Yes to the Dress. Millionaire Matchmaker.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?
Hippo. I don't care that they're dirty and mean, I still think they are so cute.

Beads921 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

No. It's on at 3am, and there is no way I'm getting up. I'll watch the high lights later in the day.

2. Plans for the weekend?

Not totally sure. I'm hoping to get to the Farmer's Market Saturday AM. I think we're going out with a friend and the girl he's seeing on Saturday. Maybe visit BF's injured friend (broke his femur...) and his fam jam on Sunday.

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

Nope. I mean, it's been in the plus temperatures for a few weeks, but it's still really rainy, and seems cold for the time of year. We did have a couple of tornados yesterday though.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

TK! Chocolate. Going out for breakfast. Reading Cosmo.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Hippopotamus - only because it's a cooler name.

Hazel - I just noticed it yesterday.

CASK85 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

No, but I will check out some pictures or clips at some point. I want to see the dress etc.

2. Plans for the weekend?

My MOH (I'm a BM in her wedding) is getting married in just over 2 weeks, and Saturday is her bachelorette party! I've been planning this thing forever and I'm so excited to see it come together

Also I have a huge presentation coming up, so I'll be working on that as well (while the penis cake is in the oven. . hehe)

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

Pseudo-spring. It snowed last week and has been about 15 degrees (F) colder than normal this whole month. But I'm wearing my spring coat, so that counts for something.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

The Knot, Ice cream, online window shopping.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Hippos! Eff walruses.

Sparrow87 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?
No I'm so not interested in the Royal Wedding. And I'm with Hazel I haven't been able to watch the news in a week; national or local!

2. Plans for the weekend?
I'm going to a live podcast in NYC with SO! We have a fancy hotel room with a city view and everything. I'm so excited!

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.
It's finally spring in Central NY it was about 80 degrees yesterday and will be about 70 today.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.
75% off Easter candy has been my guilty pleasure of the week.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?
Hippopotamus because they wiggle their ears and I think its one of the cutest things ever, even if they do it because they're mad.

csousa1 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

I will probably catch the highlights at the gym in the morning and on the radio on the way to work.

2. Plans for the weekend?

Monday is BF's 27th birthday so thie weekend is all about him

Saturday hopefully a bit of a BBQ in the back yard and some beers/pong, Saturday night going to a sports/arcade bar for the UFC fight with friends, and Sunday is the usual tradition with his parents that they have done with him for years. There is this place in RI that you pay $80 to get in and can eat your fill of lobster, king crab legs, filet mignon and a myriad of other amazing foods and desserts. We gorge ourselves for almost 2 hours and then pretty much nap all day. The diet can go on hold for a day

I don't know if I will be able to wait until Monday to give him his presents - an iPod touch and his lost football footage from his glory days in HS that I tracked down and had copied to DVD

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

Pretty much, but like CDe said it is New England. It was so muggy yesterday evening that I was already ready to complain about the warm weather haha. But it is supposed to be nice this weekend, and I've started getting all excited whenever summery songs come on my iPod, so spring is in the air

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

American Idol, which I have never cared about at all until this year, and I am in LOVE with James Durbin. His performance last night was awesome, and I got all teary eyed when he said it was all for his woman. Love it. Also pretty much all 80's music - ADORE hair bands.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Hippos fo sho.

thejessy · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

I actually don't have TV hooked up in my flat.

I may try to find it online.

2. Plans for the weekend?

I don't have normal weekends since me and all my friends fly at different times, but if we are all home we're supposed to have a Mexican dinner night!

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

In Dubai, spring replaces winter, and summer basically dominates spring-autumn. Right now it's about 98 degrees.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

Watching complete boxed TV shows in one (or a few sittings). KFC. (lots of places deliver here!) Shopping.. oh god, shopping. I went to Dubai Mall (yes the world's largest mall) and bought a $75 jacket from Zara right when I walked in and then called it quits!

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

C'mon, look at that smile!

Or not!

SeaTea02 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

I might consider TiVoing it.

2. Plans for the weekend?

Work? I really don't have any b/c I am lame

3. Is it Spring yet where you are?

Yes-ish. We have had all kinds of Tornado warnings/watches around here but the temperatures have been low 80s. No sun though...

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

I like to read motherinlawstories.com (I have red back to 12/2007) and FM on TN. I love to hear about other people's MIL drama.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; only a hippopotamus will doooo.

cu97tiger · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

Yes, but I'm sure I'll watch it tape-delayed. It starts at 3am local time. To be honest, I only really care to see what her dress looks like. She is so fashionable, yet needs to be 'demure' so it will be interesting to see what her dress looks like.

2. Plans for the weekend?

BF and I and another couple who are friends of ours are heading down to Rocky Point, Mexico for a triathlon. We had so much fun last year. I'm really looking forward to it. After the race, the athletes get all the free beer, tacos and quesadillas we can eat. Good times!

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

High of 93, sunny, 0% chance of precipitation, so yes. That is Spring in Arizona. (Don't hate the playa, hate the game

)

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.
French fries, wine, and Drumsticks (the chocolate-covered ice cream cones). Sounds like a perfect dinner to me! Oh, and when it comes to TV - SYTTD, David Tutera's show and House Hunters.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Hippos. Walrus' scare me.

Elle1036 · April 2011

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?

Ohhh yes. I've been looking forward to it, actually.

2. Plans for the weekend?

Work. Basically, if there's no public school in session, I'm at work. This includes most holidays.

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.

We've been having pleasantly warm summer weather for the last couple of weeks, but then I walked outside this morning and it was 63 degrees. 63! Texas, you fail.

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.

Bad reality TV, trying on expensive dresses (with no intention to buy) at department stores, putting way too much mayo on my sandwiches, and reading the occasional trash novel.

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?

Ummm, Hippos are extremely dangerous. Don't they kill more people than, like, any other animal? I'm going to say walrus.

IrishDreamer · April 2011

We haven't done this in awhile! Let's answer questions!

1. Are you going to watch the royal wedding tomorrow?
haha, no. I have to work all day, and get ready for SO's graduation party tomorrow. I'm actually reaaaaaally sick of it being all over tv. I only get 4 channels, and most are consumed with this

2. Plans for the weekend?
Graduation ceremony and party on Saturday for SO, maybe hanging with some friends, Sunday, study for final, grocery shopping and dinner with a friend who is coming into town

She lives 2 hrs away and I can't wait to see her!

3. Is it Spring yet where you are? It snowed here yesterday.
Ish I suppose. It has been raining for 3-4 weeks straight (damn MI). We've had about 1 semi-nice to nice day a week...and the forecast is rain all next week... *sigh* It is warmer - 60's ish so that's a plus i suppose

4. Please share a couple of your favorite guilty pleasures.
The Voice
Celebrity Apprentice (only this season because of Marley and John rich)
TK
Sweet Tea
Concrete Mixers from Culvers (Vanilla ice cream, marshmallow fluff and reeses pieces)
Tomato pie from Philly
Birch Beer
Loud music and singing my face off
Being a complete dork for no reason
Karaoke

5. Hippopotamus or Walrus?
CDE, you TOTALLY stole my line!! LOL
Hippo for sure!

The Special Topics thing has always confused me in general. I don't understand how "honeymoon", for example, isn't a special topic, but we are?
