It was an absolute blast

! There was a total of eight in my group, two of which were guides, and we lived out in the Boundary Waters wilderness (I'm sure you're familiar with, or at least have heard of, it

) for four days and three nights while dogsledding. I'll have pictures up soon

. I bet Minnesota's also pretty in the warmer months.

Can’t wait for the pictures.

Is your new avatar for 2010 your own artwork, or did you get it from somewhere else? (Either way, I think it’s cute.

)

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #142 on:** January 05, 2010, 04:03:56 AM

I found it somewhere else

. Thanks, BTW. Ya know, I have not drawn any pictures for quite some time now. I'll have to get around to it so I can begin posting artwork on here

Having read one of your own questions in another thread Anna, have you read the Neverending story? How do you like it?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #144 on:** January 05, 2010, 05:31:00 AM

I have not read the book. I've only seen the films, and only the first film is really good in my opinion. When I was younger, I was almost as crazy about the film as I am about LBT. I would even have occasional dreams in which I was in the place of Atreyu

. He's my favorite character, BTW.

Because it seems in many cases that film adaptations are not as good as the books, I'll have to read this one and see for myself which one is better

Absolutely

It is a book which I keep recommending to anyone with whom I am talking about books. It is of course very exciting to read, but it would be unfair to Michael Ende to reduce it to an "entertaining kid's book" only. Michael Ende included many really interesting philosophical thoughts in this book; thoughts which are unfortunately not included (same as many other elements of the book) in the movies.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but have you ever owned a cat?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #147 on:** January 12, 2010, 03:32:29 AM

I did when I was younger. However, my mother developed an allergy to cats

Did you see any interesting wildlife on your trip up north?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #149 on:** January 13, 2010, 03:34:37 AM

Not much more than a LOT of deer :blink:. I hear they like the salt that is put on the roads, so that made driving at night feel like playing dodgeball in the dark with a flashlight. Headlights are the flashlight, deer are the dodgeballs

. Not everybody gets my analogies, so I hope I made sense of this by pointing out what is what

. Our group saw a wolf running away from us in the distance, but that was about it. I was hoping to see a moose, but I understand they're seldom seen so I never saw one. We did see a lot of wildlife tracks in the snow that belonged to bears, otters, beavers, foxes, and wolves.

I do regret that, since I was in the middle of taking pictures, I did not see an American Bald Eagle couple perched in their nest. This was when we were cutting through Michigan's U.P. toward Minnesota. My mother had spotted 'em, but she was unable to slow down so we could get a better look 'cuz there were cars behind us. I've seen American Bald Eagles before, but they're beautiful birds and I can't get enough of 'em. They're a rare sight in the wild

How are you doing?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #151 on:** January 26, 2010, 01:52:06 AM

Well, not as good as I would like to be. Ever try to help a friend or loved one out and then they are rude or even mean in return? That's what I'm dealin' with right now <_<. I keep makin' attempts to get into a better mood, and so far not a thing has worked for long. So, I'm basically feeling unappreciated right now.

Which member of your family do you feel closest to?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #153 on:** February 03, 2010, 06:21:56 PM

The family member I feel closest to is my mother

How does it feel being a member here for TWO years?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #155 on:** February 20, 2010, 01:35:33 AM

Awesome

Was it a guilty pleasure to see the Yellowbellies get massacred in TWV?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #157 on:** March 03, 2010, 07:41:13 PM

Honestly, I had very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the Yellowbellies are so stupid that I have no idea how they existed for longer than a week

. On the other hand, I found their massacre in TWV to be very disturbing. Just when I thought the scenes of poor Ducky being tortured were as disturbing as it could get, this massacre came along. Much as I can't stand the Yellowbellies, I'm not sure I can say it was a guilty pleasure to see them get brutally massacred

Do you have a favorite ethnic cuisine? ^..^

Also, what's your favorite video game?

And one more question. Do you like to cook?

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #159 on:** March 03, 2010, 08:32:56 PM

To answer your questions:

1. No, I do not have a favorite ethnic cuisine. I like a bit of every cuisine out there. The kinds I consume most frequently are Italian, Mexican, and Chinese foods. I'm not too crazy about American food. Things like hamburgers, hotdogs, and french fries (deep-fried) don't settle well with my system very well

.

2. I have a lot of video games I like. If I had to pick just one, I'd say Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

3. Yeah, I like to cook

. I don't spend much time doing it 'cuz I don't need much food to sustain myself (my appetite's almost like that of an elderly person's appetite), but when I do cook I enjoy it a lot

.
