Okay, I've got a couple of questions.

YAY.

Now the important part: who won?

My dad owned three piranha when he was in college. Apparently he left them for a weekend (stocked with food, according to him) and came back to one and a half piranha.

Yet another reason I'm glad I got married in Korea. We did a bouquet toss, but only to one person and she was informed weeks earlier that she'd be getting the thing. No fighting, no weirdness, just "Hey, you're getting married next year? HAVE A BOUQUET!"

In college I got a serious craving for baby food one day, specifically the banana baby food, and freaked out all of my friends when I brought back a grocery bag full of the stuff.

He was out with his buddies last night and didn't get in until 4am, so yay!

Does it count if it's a member of the family? Because my husband is a tall dark-haired man and he brought me fried chicken on NYD.

Korea does this as a country, so my husband "turned" 32 yesterday, even though his birthday isn't until the summer. It confuses the hell out of me, so for the next six months or so I'll keep waffling on my age ("Uh, 26. I mean 27! Wait, four years younger than Hubs, so that's...") and confusing everyone else.

When my husband and I were getting various documents translated so we could get married, the translator we ended up using heard I was interested in translation and tried to warn me against it, saying it's mostly boring technical stuff and she basically sits alone in her office with no human contact for the entire…

I'm also interested in translation (Korean-English) but don't really have any idea how to get started. I know there are Masters programs for it that I've been looking into, but I was curious to see how other people have done it.

Awww, his half moustache makes him look like he had a mishap at the barber while getting a trim.

Here in Korea, my exotic "animal" at my wedding was me! Plus my parents and the three Americans + one French girl* who showed up as my guests.

I would never have thought of this one, but you're right on all counts.

It's actually surprisingly decent. Not at all accurate to the mythology, but as a little over an hour of cartoon, pretty entertaining. Plus I love Meg to pieces.

I teach English to kindergartners and elementary students, most of whom spend up to 10 hours a day in school and extra school. One of their readings one day was about how children all over the world, particularly girls, couldn't go to school, and I could see that it just blew their minds. Since then, many of them have…

Poodle party!

My poodle is named Louis (pronounced Louie) because my husband wanted a French name for it and it was the only name we both liked that he could pronounce. It was a pretty good choice simply for the infinite number of nicknames it spawns (Lou, Lulu, Skip To My Lou, Lovely Louis, King Louie, etc).

I really don't understand why you'd be jeered. What about people in the army? Pretty much everyone knows (or at least knows of) someone in the service, and unless they have some secret way of getting GS cookies that I'm unaware of, it's rather ignorant to assume that no one overseas would be interested.

This happened to the couple across the street from us. I used to babysit the youngest two, and the oldest girl and my brother were the same age and at the same school, so it just made sense to have family playdates. Then the wife died (very suddenly) of pneumonia after I went away to college and everything kind of…
