I like the *idea* of comic books. I work with reluctant readers. . . .okay, high school students. . . and I can usually plug the least interested into the curriculum with graphic novels or comic books. Personally, though, I prefer fewer distractions/pictures created outside of my head-- the images tend to get in the way of my own mental landscape. . .
(So, true AND false?)
The person below me has more yarn than s/he can possibly usefully use to knit/crochet/latch-hook in three seasons. . . |

Ack! Got me!
I have the whole Sisterhood of Steel collection, except for the final one that was done into a graphic novel! I have some Elfquest, including the hilarious cross-over with the Smurfs! I have selected X-men! I have the whole intro collection of The New Mutants, done by Chris Claremont! I have the first Nightcrawler solo, all four issues! I have the reprinted Raiders of the Lost Ark! ... and I think that's it! ... oh, yeah, the Superman is Dead, the one issue. And one old Disney Donald Duck, that has Gyro Gearloose's little metal man that has a light bulb for a head, running around having its own adventures in the background!
There is one Batman that I wish I had, story title, "It was a dark and stormy night...", where Batman goes on patrol, and nothing happens that requires his attention! He ends up picking on a large no-neck guy who accidentally drops his candy bar wrapper on the ground instead of in the near-by trash, and agrees with Batman that it should have gone in the can, and takes care of it!
The person below me has a comic book collection too! |

Oops, I missed this.
I used to be a 4-H champion knitter, and really haven't done anything with it for years. I still have some yarn, but I'm giving it away, as it is more than I'll be using, as I won't be using it. So it seems that the answer it "true".
The person below me is donating a bunch of stuff to charity (Goodwill, whatever.) |

False. I'm not a huge comic book fan.
The person below me can name ALL seven dwarfs, WITHOUT looking them up. (It's harder than it sounds!)
The answer (Highlight): Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Sneezy and Bashful. |

True. I saw Jet Li's Fearless, which I thought was very good overall and parts were amazing. That is, however, the first movie I've been to in like 6 months.
The person below me is hypersensative to any kind of drug, and has to take reduced amounts of things. (I took children's tylenol until I was about 16 and it worked just fine thankyou) |

Fasle. I say, the stronger, the better! Not really. I try to take the least amount/strength it will take to cure the problem, but not because I'm sensitive to it, I just prefer the least amount of damage to my liver.
I never really got into comic books, but I have nothing against them. Honestly, Harry Potter has been the first series of anything that I've followed so closely.
I have like no yarn, or anything. I try to buy it by the project, and lose any leftovers soon after. I'm not very ambitious when it comes to keeping up with that stuff.
The person below me is sitting at their computer in their pajamas (hey, there's nothing wrong with that! *attempts to hide from monitor*). |

False. I got home from a choir practice about half an hour ago and I'm still fully dressed (though I have removed my jewelry).
I actually can't take acetaminophen (Tylenol/Paracetamol) because it doesn't really work on me, just makes me feel like I'm about to throw up. For whatever reasons I find that aspirin has a similar effect. Fortunately, I don't often find myself with a headache or sore muscles or things like that and when I do, I find that a good hot shower usually does the trick, especially if I massage the sore area during and after the shower. If it's because I (in my usual state of accident-prone existence) have once again sprained my ankle or twisted my knee, a support bandage and arnica creme are a great help.
Got lots of yarn, though. I'm working on a couple of afghans at the moment, one of which is supposed to go to a friend of mine who got married at the beginning of July. (Oops.)
The person below me is a fan of the Blues Brothers. |

False. I don't think I've ever spent more than thirty seconds on them, though my husband thought the original SNL ones were great. After John Belushi's death, the new set just didn't cut it.
I got the DVD of X-Men 3. I imagine that the director's meeting went like this:
"Hey, look Dude, at all this money! Let's go get some special effects!"
"Righteous, Dude! Let's tear up a massive landmark."
"Sweet. Hey, but let's do it on the West Coast this time. NY is so over-done."
The person below me saw the movie or the DVD. |

True, my husband brought it home Tues. night. I watched it, don't really know the real story of The Phoenix, I'll have to ask my brother.
I'm new here, been reading HP FF for about 6 mo.
The person below me likes spicy food. |

Yup. Mexican, Thai, Indian, whatever...it's all good.
But I don't like comic books or the Blues Brothers. I didn't bother with X-Men 3, either.
I tend to have the "enough is too much" syndrome with most medicines, but not all medicines.
And I used to have too much yarn. The one good thing about moving a lot is that you have to give up being a packrat.
The person below me has moved more than 10 times in their life.

True. 10-11.
The person below me grinds their teeth. (I do it when I'm angry and when I'm asleep. People wake me up all the time because my grinding is keeping them awake!  ) |

False. I don't like the noise it makes, so I chew gum instead.
I've got to admit that I don't like the "new" Blues Brothers either; they just don't seem to have the energy that Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi had. The Blues Brothers music that I listen to is all the old stuff, including (of course) the soundtrack to the first movie. I was just kind of stuck for ideas for the next "person below me" statement, so I fell back on my personal musical tastes which I realize are probably not shared by a lot of people. Sorry. 
I also like spicy food. I don't like it so hot that the other flavours get lost, but I usually like food that's got a bit of a zing to it.
The person below me is a bit of a klutz.

True. *sigh* I've tripped up and down stairs so many times.
