Live anywhere in the world - I would honestly live in the Keys forever if I could. I have a great desire to travel to many many places (especially Greece and Ireland) but I would never ever want to move there because it would be too far away from my family.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you pick?

Spain, for the food, architecture, history, culture, landscape, everything. I love it.

I'm doing pro bono work at a domestic violence clinic.....and taking classes. It makes me so sad.

MFJ - what are your summer plans? Baby names?

Woot middle name triplets!

Mara--It's pretty lame :P. We met online, talked about about five months, then decided to meet (in Jasper--my first trip to IN). After that, we kept up a long distance thing and then he moved out here so we could be together. This upcoming December, we'll be together for five years.

I like my middle name mainly because its the name my nickname is derived from. My parents were all kinds of confused when naming me.

Nebb · April 2011

yio - its karl pilkington!

i dont think the civil right movement was the same here, tbh. slavery was abolished waaaaaay earlier and i think because of that there was a much different attitude. my grandparents managed portions of one of the churches harriet tubman attended and brought people on the underground railroad, and there was a very large black community here because of it, so my take on what i know from family (moms side of the family is black) might be biased.

pirategal03 · April 2011

Worst injury - I fell on my face and broke my front teeth when I was 16. They're fakes now.

Middle name - My first and middle names are kind of a double-name, so they go well together. I was named after my grandmothers, so I like it. I also have my maiden as a second middle now.

I'd live in the St Andrews area of Scotland (Fife/Elie). I fell in love when I visited there. There's just so much history & culture, and I started to develop a wonderful Scottish brogue accent while I was there haha. I wouldn't mind the cold since I grew up in northwest Washington state, and have lived in Alaska.

Sure, it would be a very long ways away from my family in the States, but I could seriously see myself enjoying living there. Settling into a little cottage, possibly opening a pub, and having some farmland.

My worst injury was probably a broken nose, my sister hit me in the face with a metal bat when we were little. I also broke my pinkie toe climbing over the child gate by the stairs. Somehow it got caught on the railing when I fell down the steps and I was literally hanging by it...lol It was fully out to the side and I freaked out, so I smacked it back into place

I don't love or hate my middle name. It is Renee.

If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live on a beautiful island...if I were independently wealthy and didn't have to worry about work. I would love to wake up to a gorgeous view every day.

Blueyed228 · April 2011

LC- I broke it onstage (I was in a ballet company). I broke my L5. I was 21.

We are Greek so we got Greek first and middle names. I am Melissa Elena and my sister is Katherine Athena.

aprovencher21 · April 2011

Worst Injury - Intentional kick to my face in a soccer game....shearing off teeth and jaw dislocation. I have a ton of problems to this day.

aprovencher21 · April 2011

Sarah I like Tiberius......this is an odd question but is it cause of Star Trek? I told H your son's middle name and he asked me that.

I'll have to google him. I figured Canada would have been way ahead of the U.S. when it came to civil rights and slavery movements. The bolded part is really cool. I always wish I had someone in my family that did something, anything, I could be proud of. Instead I get a famous person that most people can't stand. My grandfather and Uncle were police officers, which I am proud of.

Question- Do you (general you) know what your grandparents did for a living and how big their families were?

Many pre-depression era families were huge, which is what most of our Grandparents probably come from.

ZombieNates · April 2011

YIO--Probably Sephora for makeup. I love MAC stuff, but Sephora just has EVERYTHING. My favorite clothing store would be Anthro or H&M. H&M is hit and miss sometimes.

Thanks, Mara

. How did you guys meet?

If I could live anywhere, I'd pick NYC. I know N would be unhappy there, though, so maybe a little country town in MA or ME, somewhere not far from the coast.

Pirate--It sounds awesome. I can't wait to get the chance to go down there and check it out.

FTR, I think Tiberius is a STELLAR middle name :) My mom really liked the name Claire for a first name, but then she met a Claire for the first time while she was pregnant with me and that Claire was a megabiotch, so she decided not to make it my first name.

LOL...Baseball/softball wasn't my sport. My dad also hit me in the boob with a wiffleball when I was like 12. I swear that stunted their growth..lol

I have 3 older sisters and we fought like cats. We love each other to death now, but when we were younger, we were horrible. I feel kinda bad that my dad had to deal with all of us.

[Deleted User] · April 2011

In my head I imagine myself being happy living in Greece near ruins since I love the culture so much, or in one of the villages, but really that's just a dream. I don't want to be away from my family, I'd be miserable.

Ideally, I'd love to live in a small town, in a house situated in a secluded wooded area yet not too far away from people. I hate big cities (hence my misery with my current home) and I want to live somewhere where people know me and I don't feel so alone all the time.

There are a few towns around us like that, but too far a commute for both our jobs. Some day though, assuming they aren't built up by then, we'll hopefully relocate there.

Nebb · April 2011

i have always wanted to live in belgium, weve said that we will seriously consider it after our parents pass, like a lifetime goal or something to move there

LesPaul · April 2011

Worst injury - I fell into a cement fire ring at the beach and burned my back when I was 7 (at my brother's birthday party). Fortunately I was wearing a sweatshirt so it could have been much worse.

Middle name is Susan. I like it. There have been times I wished it was my first name.

Sesh - my younger daughter's middle name is Elise. I love that name.
