True!! I started riding when I was 4, and got my Shetland Pony when I was 8. I had him for almost 20 years, until he died in his sleep at the age of about 45 (equivalent to about 115 in human years - our vet said he'd never worked with an equine so old!). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to ride seriously in a number of years, but I hope to get back into it some day. I miss it terribly.
The person below has had a pet who was older than they were. (I've had two - my pony, as mentioned above, and our first cat, whom my parents got before they had me) |

False. We didn't have pets until I was a bit older when I was growing up, and we always adopted kittens or puppies. Even as an adult, all of my cats have usually been these tiny, sick little things that I took pity on because I couldn't bear the thought that they'd be put to sleep. It made for some interesting pets, like a cat who never got bigger than the average four month old kitten, but is fast as hell and stronger than most cats I know, and the three-legged cat who had no tail, and the cat that had brain damage and used to throw herself down the stairs and run head first into the wall repeatedly. Actually, we adopted a litter of four cats, one of which was the one with the mental disabilities, and all of them were sick as hell and underfed when we got them, but they were sweeties, and they're all still healthy and happy...
Or the dog that my ex and I kidnapped from its owners because they would never feed him and threw rocks and stuff at him if he would whine. *is a criminal* *is not ashamed* Oh, and a ferret with no back feet. Had one of those too. He also had heart problems though, so he only lived to be about six months old. But he was a sweetie. And the cat that had tumors all over his body. Poor thing. Didn't cause him any pain, though, so he just had to deal with being funny looking. 
I love animals, can you tell?

False, as I've never done so to any extent. Nor do I wear make-up. The running joke in my family is that I missed that day of "Being A Girl School."
The person below me DOES wear makeup on a regular basis. |

False. I don't have the patience to bother with the stuff, 'sides I doubt the animals care what I look like (I live on a farm.)! I do wax my eyebrows though, hmm... 
I've stapled myself and others, I've stepped on a fence pole, glass... I've been banned from pointy things.
There's been a couple of family pets older than me.
I would have too Jackie, the owners were the criminals.
Can speak/ understand 1337 speak. (It gives me a headache!) |

Only about half-true; I can't speak it, but give me a minute or two with it and I'll probably be able to understand it unless it's unusually dense.
Unless you count nail polish as makeup, the only makeup I wear on a regular basis is lipstick. Even that doesn't get much use in the summer; the rest of the year, though, my lips tend to get dry. I know I could use lip balm instead, but I have a very good sense of smell; the smells of most kinds of lip balm drive me absolutely nuts.
The person below me washes most of their dishes by hand rather than with a machine. |

False! There are five of us, and usually half the neighbors' kids end up at my house at some point. The only things I wash by hand are the large pots and pans or over-sized serving dishes. Our dishwasher broke when Lauren (the baby) was 2 months old, and I realized how much I hated washing dishes by hand.
Leave the house without any make-up? No way. Although the full routine is saved for special occasions. Lipstick, masscara and blush are my friends.
The person below me has gone fishing... and liked it. |

That's true. My dad's always loved fishing, and when I was a kid I thought it was the most boring thing in the world. I would start taking books with me, checking the rod occassionally, and then it was enjoyable. The actually catching of the fish has always been fun for me, it was the waiting I couldn't stand.
I don't think I could even find half of my make-up if I tried. It's an extraordinary day if I'm wearing make-up.
I've never stapled myself or anyone else, but I have thought about it... Oh, wait? By accident? No, not that way either.
The person below me has (and still uses) an old nintendo (something no longer on the market). I have a SuperNintendo (...Donkey Kong...). |

The Beach Boys? Not since I was a teenager, in the dark ages of the 80s when the BBs were categorically uncool, have I actually willingly listened to their music.
So, no. Not a big fan. . . . Though I will admit a weakness for Herbert Groenemeyer.
The person below me likes (!) opera. |

Hmm. Sort of. When I was a child, I wanted to learn about opera, after watching one on PBS* called Orpheus in Hell. It featured the Can Can dance, and a character I've never forgotten: The god of Public Opinion.
(Orpheus is glad that his wife has run off to Hades with the underworld god, but TGOPO forces him to go after her.)
I still haven't been to a real opera, but I would like to see The Love of Three Oranges. So far, all the operas I've seen have been on PBS and little out-takes put on for school assemblies.
Oh, and I saw the movie of the rock-opera Tommy by The Who.
Which I guess none of these count: I was in Portland, OR when some big opera about Wuthering Heights was being put on, and people were going nuts about what they were going to wear and where they were going to sit, so I guess it's also the whole experience, which I've yet to attend....

Usually false. I tend to wake up at six in the morning regardless of what time I go to sleep, so I'm usually in bed by 11:00.
The person below me has recently had feelings of déjà vu. |

True. I get deja vu all the time, it's quite wierd actually!
It is currently 11:41pm, and I probably won't go to bed for a while yet. Apparently I do a good impression of nocturnal.
I don't fish because I feel guilty, although I hate fish with a passion because I think they're creepy!
The person below me is online avoiding the dishes. |

Wow! How did you know? There's a big stack, and I'm afraid.
I'm frequently (almost every night) up past midnight. I am seriously a night owl.
The person below me wears glasses (I do - for reading things far away). |
