False. Being that I'm a flip-flop girl, I do paint my toe nails, though. I have a thing for pink. It's weird.
I love dancing, but like some of you, my husband hates it. With a passion. Besides, he looks like an epiliptic, spastic monkey when he tries.
I needed one hour to graduate. I filled the space with a walk for fitness/jog for fitness class. Yeah, well, you can guess how that went.
The person below me never actually uses any of the pictures they take on their digital camera (I have about 3000 pics stored on my laptop, and have maybe printed out 5). |

True, but that doesn't stop me from defacing my sketchbook at least once a week, often more than that. If nothing else, I've discovered new and unusual ways to draw absolutely nothing worth looking at. 
I've got to say "false" to the thing about the digital camera, though, if only because I don't have one. The last time I tried to use one was in Cambridge last year when another visitor asked me to take a picture of her standing in front of the King's College chapel. I ended up accidentally making a video instead. 
The person below me is allergic to something unusual. |

False. Just good ol' penicillin which I wouldn't call unusual.
I don't have a digital camera for the simple reason my phone doubles as that; along with everything else. (I'd be lost without my phone!) But all the pictures are sitting in my computer getting dusty, I have no reason to use them, yet.
I can sort of draw, if you squint and use your imagination one can usually guess what it is!
The person below me can fit a pool/ snooker ball in their mouth. (This is prompted by the fact I am trying to eat a gobstopper the size of one; my tongue hurts!) |

False. One (of the many) ways in which I am very much Not-Girly is handbags. I hate them. If it's not a backpack or a satchel, and isn't big enough to hold a hardcover book, I won't carry it. I mean, what's the point, really?
I don't own a digi-cam either. Never been much of a photo person (although I'd rather be taking them than have the camera pointed at me).
The person below me fidgits with whatever is handy (she says while playing with a random paperclip that is on her desk....) |

True!! My hands are always busy playing with something--usually whatever I find laying around. Paperclips, scraps of paper, pieces of plastic ripped off the top of fast-food drink lids, individual staples, pen caps, etc. If I don't have something to fiddle with, I end up picking at my fingernails until I tear them off and they bleed. Oops. I figure it's safer to fiddle with random crap.
Not much for handbags. I own one purse, and I only carry it when I actually have a lot of stuff to cart around for some reason. Otherwise, I have money, my driver's license, keys, and any other random crap I might need crammed into my pockets.
The idea of putting a pool ball in my mouth makes my jaw ache. Just the very idea. *ow*
I don't think anyone in my family owns a camera. We're not really picture people. I literally have two pictures of myself--one from last Christmas, and then one of me and my ex at Disney four years ago. That's about it. Tee hee.
The person below me can't write in black ink on a page where they/someone else has already written in blue. Or that same situation with other colors... |

While I have had that problem before, I don't normally. So, false.
I have one purse. I like it that way. I don't have to switch my things from handbag to handbag. That's a bother for me. If I go out on the weekends (mainly to a bar or club), I put what I need in my pocket and go. I'm simple like that. Shoes on the other hand (foot)...
The person below me likes baking from scratch (vs. store-bought mixes). |

True, although I can't remember just what it was. Stupid fibro.
I do prefer baking from scratch. Except for cakes. My cakes from scratch have never turned out as well as from a mix. And I have the best pancake recipe ever (although I suppose that doesn't count as baking exactly), so I view pancakes from a mix as truly evil. Here's the recipe:
Heidi’s Pancake Recipe (Heidi's my best friend since childhood)
1 cup flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. oil
1 egg
about 1 cup milk
Combine all ingredients, adding milk gradually to make batter of desired thickness. (Here's a baking secret: unless you live where the humidity is pretty constant, the appropriate flour/liquid ratio will not always be the same. That's why I don't give an exact quantity of milk.)
The person below me attended a sports event this week. (High school football; we won 47-28--woot! Almost as fun as Quidditch.)

How can it be the best pancake recipe, with no buttermilk?
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/2 - 2 cups buttermilk (as Verity says, moisture requirements vary,
but whole-grain flours soak up more than refined)
start pan heating
mix dry ingredients in medium bowl
lightly beat egg and mix in buttermilk in another bowl
pour wet ingredients into dry, mix swiftly.
You can, in honor of the season and topic, add 1 cup
cooked pumkin puree - but use 1/2 cup less buttermilk.
Nope, no sports events, but one of the nearby rinks opens for the
season today! I bought my elder DD skates and we're going to
check out the shiny fresh ice later. Wooohhooooooo!
The person below me has tried pumpkin beer. |

False. Have never heard of it 'til today, although if it's anything like normal beer I think I'll stay away.
I usually just carry my wallet and if I need more room than my pockets can provide, I have a teeny-tiny backpack which can usually hold my book, phone and money.
The person below me is constantly losing things. (People are of no use to me unless they can tell me where I left my stuff!) |

True. It's the main reason why I have two spare sets of house and car keys.
I own more than one purse, but that's mostly because I tend to be so hard on them that they rarely last a full year. Of course, that could be because of all the things I keep inside of them, including LOTS of pens, a small notebook, a small copy of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, sunglasses, keys, my wallet...well, you get the picture.
I tend to "play" my pens and pencils when I'm bored; it's a great way to practice new pipe tunes when I don't have my practice chanter handy.
The person below me reads about psychology for fun. |

I took an intro to psych class my freshman or sophomore year of college (I don't remember which), and I enjoyed it immensley. Except that they made you participate in five different psych experiments. I haven't had the chance (or wish, I suppose) to read up on it for fun. If a book fell on my lap, however, I would probably read it.
I swivel, twirl, or chew on my pens or pencils. Otherwise, I figit with my clothing, but not much else.
The person below me is addicted to chapstick (my brand is Burt's Bees). *reaches over to put some on* |

False. I find that if I overuse chapstick, it only makes things worse. I do like Burt's Bees brand best (say that five times fast), but I only use it when absolutely necessary.
I think the only psych book I ever read for fun was Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment. And that was more a result of my literary interests than psychology.
I don't do beer, and the thought of beer made from pumpkins makes my mouth grimace and my stomach church. No thanks. I also don't like whole wheat in pancakes, although a wee little bit of cornmeal for texture isn't a bad thing. I do like pumpkin pie excessively, though.
The person below me still has textbooks from classes they've taken in the past. (That's one thing about being an English major--you tend not to sell your books back!)
