Olivia is an Aussie

My random collection - rupert annuals.

my question: do you like movies about gladiators?

Whoops! I didn't post a random interest really- I collect (and have for 40 years) antique and vintage Blue Willow china.

Actually, she's not. She's English.

Wiki:

Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge, England, to a Welsh father, Brinley ("Bryn") Newton-John, and a German-born mother, Irene Born, the eldest child of the Nobel prize-winning atomic physicist Max Born. Her mother's family had left Germany before World War II to avoid the Nazi regime (Newton-John's maternal grandfather was Jewish, and her maternal grandmother was of paternal Jewish ancestry).[4] Her maternal great-grandfather was jurist Victor Ehrenberg and her matrilineal great-grandmother's father was German jurist Rudolf von Jhering. Newton-John is the youngest of three children, following brother Hugh, a doctor, and sister Rona, an actress once married to Grease co-star Jeff Conaway. Newton-John's father was an MI.5 officer on the Enigma project at Bletchley Park who took Rudolf Hess into custody during World War II.[5] In 1954 Newton-John's family emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where her father worked as a professor of German and as Master of Ormond College at the University of Melbourne.[6]

I stand corrected.

I'm addicted to Househunters International. I love when they go to Italy/France or Eastern Europe

My favorite Cookie is Oatmeal Raisin..

I can't spell..

There is something about the anticipation of such an event as the opera or a musical - learning that is coming to your area - the ticket buying - the planning of attire, and on and on. Sometimes the preparation and anticipation really rivals the actual event, yes?

I loveeeeeeeeeeee House Hunters International! I DVR it when I can.

Anticipation does rock!

Cookies? anything with no peanuts....total fav. Shortbread biscuits from M&S.

Inside jokes with just me....I have a Super 8 ball on my desk at work and when people ask me dumb questions like how long my boss is going to be on the phone....I hand them the 8 ball. :)

My star sign: Gemini,

I'm second eldest of 6 siblings,

I like all types of food, but I favor Mediterranean cuisine.

And British comedy!

Love political satire, the most!

Am loving all the responses here =]

It's a great thread Merlin, thank you for starting it!

Favorite drink in UK: Lemonade and orange juice mixed with any ice I can get.

Cool thread--

I am not much of a chocolate fan, but there isn't a type of cake or cookie that I'd refuse except dark chocolate. At the moment, I could go for something lemon. Lemon cake with coconut icing, and lemon cooler cookies. Ummmm.....

Leo, oldest of three, only girl. Not bossy, but I typically get my way. :) Only one to move more than an hour from home. Now I wish I were closer!

Love Indian food most of all, but any ethic cuisine holds my interest.

Love to dance, but don't get to very often. :(

I'm a clinical social worker. I'm a psychotherapist working with nursing home residents by day, and children and families by night.

I have two daughters, 23 and 19. Also have four amazing cats and an elderly border collie/lab mix.

I'm on disability right now for depression but am looking into going to college to pursue a career in computers ....... I use My laptop alot so why not get into a career with something I love already? :-)

I love both though most of the time we have smooth in the house ~ I have not had a PB & banana sandwich in ages but now I want one :p

I haven't watched much this season though I love the show!

I've always wanted to visit Paris, its beautiful there and is just someplace I'd one day love to see ~ this is where I'd love to go on My honeymoon someday :-)

I love to cross stitch; haven't done any in awhile but I wanna do a project very soon :-)

I have only one sister, Cheyenne, who is autistic but the sweetest little girl ever :jester:

I'm an Aries, pig-headed and stubborn as hell but that's to be expected :)

I was born first and while I exhibit some of those traits, I'm still a long ways off from being some of what it says I should be ........... I'm a perfectionist but I'm also a nurturer, people pleaser, crave approval, am a caregiver and possess a "grin and bear it" mentality :blink:

My family has two cats, Tigger (boy) and Muffin aka Muffy (girl)

I am one of nine!

my parents together had 3
divorced
my egg doner went on to have 3 more which I only found out about as a teenager when this amazingly pretty teenager sat acroos from me on the public bus and most amazing light brown color and as i stared at her, cause I am a lesbian after all haha, I realized her features were earily similar to mine. same hazel eyes, same mouth, and when I smiled it was like looking into a mirror as she smiled back at me. It freaked us both out. I got off at the next stop ran home and questioned my dad!. he then told me the egg doner went on to have 2 more girls after leaving us. Turns out that beauty sitting accross from me was my 1/2 sister Kim. And after meeting her and my other 1/2 sister Dawn i was amazed by how much we all looked alike.
anywayyyy
dad remarried had 2 more kids
he divorced
remarried had another daughter
the egg doner remarried and had my brother Douglas whom i have never met.

so thats my whole entire disfunctional loving siblings..I love them all! :)

I have two sisters, both younger, married and each with one 4-year old daughter. I have permanent black sheep status in my family. lol

I'm an Aries and live in a village in South yorkshire.

Liverpool is my birthplace.

I have a half brother and a half sister but only by law and not by blood. We are not close and never really have been. I'm FB friend's with my brother and my sister and I exchange phone calls or emails a couple of times a year at xmas and birthdays. They are both older, we did not grow up together and have never lived in the same house together although we did travel together a few times a year when I was younger. My family skied often and I have a wall's worth of photos of different configurations of us at the top of the mountain where the pro photographers hit you up when you get of the ski lift.

And, oddly enough, hanging on the wall above my desk is a portrait of my sister and I that we had done by one of the artists on the square during a trip to New Orleans when I was in high school. We look like sisters even though that's not possible. I don't think it looks much like either one of us but I was very young and my hair was very long.

I like cookies but I don't like the eat the same ones all the time.

I also stopped watching television a few months ago when I started using the spare room as an office. I don't miss it. I also don't really listen to music anymore. In the car, if I'm not listening to a ball game, I've got the news channel on so I can hear the traffic reports.

I am a Cancer, and a very typical one. Except when I'm not.

Another Cancer. And an only child. And i have never had children. Can you spell "self-absorbed?" i fight against it, but that's the natural inclination.

My favorite cookie is the cocoa cayenne at Hot Cookie in the Castro, home of the penis shaped cookie. My second favorite are Ginger cookies. i am not eating gluten right now, so no cookies for me. :(

Basically a midwesterner although i live in northern California.

Favorite drink: Diet Grape Soda -- which, it's appalling to relate, cannot be found in the State of California. i miss you, Diet Faygo!

My favorite alcoholic beverage is Bell's Expedition Stout. (also not drinking now, so . . . sigh. i doubt it can be found in California either though i haven't looked.)

My favorite drink that i can actually drink is half fizzy water, half orange juice.

i have two adorable cats. i also would also like a dog, but am too busy. If i got a dog, it would be a Border Terrier. A couple weeks ago, i was sure i wanted a German Shepherd. So who knows what it will be when the day finally comes. Probably an amiable mutt from the shelter.

i love the the ocean, boating (which i haven't done in forever), live music (alt country), and reading. i meditate.

My favorite TV shows from the past are The Wire, West Wing, and Alias. Now i watch In Plain Sight, Bones, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, and whatever gets my attention on Netflix.

Which of the arcade games, if any, do you play? i play WOW Connect.

I'm an Administrative Specialist. Currently, I support 11 people in 3 departments in 4 locations, which include the Board Office, Consumer Participation, and Resource Line/Transportation Assistance Program. I like my boss and most of my co-workers. I also work very closely with the Board Chair, since I am the Correspondence Coordinator for the Board. That is what I consider one of the toughest of my daily tasks.

I like both creamy and crunchy peanut butter. My mom never bought the kind with sugar in it while I was growing up, so naturally that's the kind I like the most. ;)

I don't have a television so I don't watch American Idol.

I used to live in Edinburgh, Scotland and if I could travel anywhere, it would include a stop there. I would also like to visit New Zealand, Thailand, Petra, Italy, and...well...I love to travel so anywhere is fine by me. :)

My favorite British bands are: Depeche Mode, The Cure, Texas, Robbie Williams, Dead Can Dance, and many more.

My newest random hobby is hula hooping. I am also a letterboxer, artsy-craftsy, and a classically trained singer.

I have one older brother. He's married, lives about 300 miles away, and his wife just gave birth to my very first niece!

I'm a pisces and pretty much reflect everything I have ever read about the astrological sign.

I think the birth order theory is interesting, but I'm not 100% convinced it's the only one worth paying attention to when it comes to siblings and all that. I'm the second-born and youngest in my family.

I live with one bossy but skitterish Molly :cat:.

:stillheart:

I have ten chickens.
Two cats.
A dog.
And three fish lol.

I'm a typical Aquarius-strange, individual, dreamer, contrary, brilliant ;)

Very much youngest of four. I had three brothers; the two oldest are deceased.

Grew up in Ohio, but have lived in Arkansas for a decade.

I am a science teacher, secondary schools

I see your peanut butter with bananas, and raise you PB on celery, with raisins (my mother would call this "ants on a log").

I rarely watch television, unless it's classic movies, documentaries, public television, or sports :P.

I will go absolutely anywhere. I'm not much for beaches but you could twist my arm ;). Russia, way out in front, followed by Ireland, Scotland, the rest of England (I only saw London quick and the Midlands), China (again), really anywhere I can learn and grow.

God, I'm old: The Hollies, Herman's Hermits, any of the British Invasion, Doves, Def Leppard, Zepplin-you name it. Some bands I loved for years before realizing they were British.

I play chess, once for competition but now just for fun.

Great thread for a lurker... easy to post once and hide again ;)

I am a manager of Homeowner Associations... the person that is most hated when you live in one! I live in Los Angeles but was raised in the O.C. (prefer LA though!)

Although not a big fan of peanut butter, I do like a bit once in a while with an apple or with chocolate, always creamy!

I am a Scorpio...

I do watch Idol, but now that everyone I like is gone, I am done!

I am pretty boring with my music tastes... I like old stuff, does Shirley Horn count, she lived in England ;) I guess if I had to pick a band, I would say Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd and of course the Beatles! Currently I am enamored with Adelle!

I love to travel, but haven't traveled much in last 7 years, I have been about everywhere north of the equator... time to travel South, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil!

I am the oldest of 4 and a true oldest child, I totally believe in birth order theories... I have a take charge personality, which could be the Scorpio influence also... or it could be that I was also an only child for 8 years before the next was born... who knows!

I love to cook and garden.... but I have to say my favorite hobby is to shop!!!

Steampunk... I love the boarderland series... does that count???

I love any kind of nut butter. Splattered on good bread, sliced nanner, drizzle of honey or if I'm feeling like a real glutton I'll skip the honey and add chocolate. Not that fake stuff but a chuck of really good chocolate, shaving it over the nut butter.

I love growing things. I have a farm. Everyday I walk out, grab some strawberries, pop them in my mouth. They feel a live and I feel like such a cannibal. If I'm hungry I might stroll by my garden beds, grab a handful of sugar snaps, eat them.... pick a baby cuke and pop it in my mouth. I'm like god-fucking-zilla towering over my little garden world chomping away. lol

I love animals, especially dogs, more then people. I would rather sit outside on my porch, watch them run and play, drink a glass of wine and do nothing, more then going to a club or almost anywhere else. I love all dogs- spoiled, needy, big, small.

and I'm a grandmother to an amazing little girl named Mia Bella.

How many grandmothers we have here?

I don't have any children. My girlfriend has two.

My family are all catholic,

I'm not even christened.

Half my family is mormon and the other half is christian, I believe in god but right now I dont know what I am.

I work in Fraud Forensics. I attempt to save people from themselves and keep con-artists from preying on our customers.

Crunchy peanut butter and baloney. Don't knock it, until you try it..lol.

I don't watch Idol.

Beatles junkie. All the first songs I learned to play on the guitar were Beatles songs and wearing an old Beatles t-shirt, right now.

I love to road trip and have been all over the US and Canada.

I love to cook. I am a homebody.

My sweetie and I have 5 kids, 2 grandsons and 3 mutts.
