[Aelia Jusa]

I have a sneaking suspicion my answers are going to be almost identical to my answers last time. Perhaps even down to the wording. That is how boringly predictable I am

NAME? Melanie

LIVING ARRANGEMENT? I live at home with my parents and brother. It's just a normal 2 storey house.

YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW? I am eagerly awaiting the new series of the Amazing Race, and Survivor.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? The one at home is blue with 'marbig' written on it, my one at my office at uni has my cat on it.

FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Scrabble

FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Cosmopolitan

FAVORITE SMELLS? Dark chocolate - you can almost get all the satisfaction you need just from smelling it and not eating it. Also the smell of new shoes!

FAVORITE SOUND? I like the quiet little sounds of the neighbourhood when I'm walking the dog - it's nothing special, just kinda homey.

WORST FEELING(S) IN THE WORLD? Fear

BEST FEELING(S) IN THE WORLD? I like Mel's relief - that's so true. Also that feeling you get when you know you've totally succeeded at something you've wanted for ages.

FAVORITE RECORD? I am enjoying my Brahms symphonies at them moment - it's four CDs so good value

FAVORITE SONG? I love a lot of songs... can't pick one.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING? Usually I think, 'Tuppence, it's too early to be getting up, go back to sleep', then 'do I really need to get up and go to the bathroom right now'.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Depends where I am in relation to the phone, and then I wait until a full ring has elapsed as I don't like to pick up mid-ring.

(FUTURE) DAUGHTER'S NAME? I have a few names I like; I think girls should have pretty girly names and boys should have manly names. None of these unisex names for me.

(FUTURE) SON'S NAME? I don't have as many boys' names choices, hopefully I'll have girls!

FAVORITE FOOD? Dark chocolate.

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Chocolate

FAVORITE ICE CREAM? I am very into cookies and cream at the moment.

CROUTONS OR BACON BITS? Croutons. Not a bacon fan.

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? No, it's really just a way to getting to where I want to go.

DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? My cat (alive).

STORMS - COOL OR SCARY? I don't mind them (we had heaps last January which was a real change from the last few years, kind of exciting), but Tuppence doesn't, so I don't like that she gets so scared by them.

WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? Blue hyundai excel. Also my current car

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Taurus

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR? I am into Ludlum at the moment... yes I know literature snobs don't like him because he writes to a *formula* - but I like that formula!

DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Definitely.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I would like to be able to conduct research and also practice as a psychologist at the same time. Hopefully that will happen.

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOUR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I think brown works best with my colouring, but I do different shades and reddish as well.

WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? I have a star wars poster, two photos of my group of high school friends at the formal, and a photo montage of Tuppence and Bubbles.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Not fully I don't think.

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Half full

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGE? There are some times when a tall glass of water just hits the spot. For it's versatility and unique flavour, I've got to choose water.

FAVORITE MOVIE(S)? Couldn't pick one.

ARE YOU A LEFTY, RIGHTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS? Right. Extremely uncoordinated with my left hand.

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Kind of. I am really getting proficient at typing. I think I use my index fingers more than you're supposed to, but I'm fast and don't have to look at the keys when I type.

WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? Dust. I think a lip balm that Tuppence rolled under there as well.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? Seriously, who has a favourite number?

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? Dunno, don't care about cars. I think I may have named something last time I did this, but I didn't really care then either

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT A PERSON ON THIS BOARD?
Wellard seems like a really nice person.
