    Nothing is on right now... but I have a song in my head at the moment. It is from Cirque Du Soleil's Zumanity (have not seen the show, but I collected the music. I have only seen the shows that have come on TV: on HBO when I was little, and now on Bravo. My sister, EmilSoong & her husband GanahFereoh have both seen La Nouba when they went to Orlando for their honeymoon)

    I have Generations, First Contact, and Nemesis on DVD. I used to have Insurrection, but now all I have is the old VHS copy I had given to my brother a while ago.

     

    I think I still have Voyage Home, we caught it on tv once and recorded it (it was like on HBO or something way way long ago). And we had the storebought copy of The Motion Picture (might still have it)

     

     

    Similar to TVH, we caught Wrath of Khan on tv and recorded it when I was little. After it finished my mom had taped an episode of TNG (I think it was "When the Bough Breaks", I was not able to catch it first run for whatever reason). I think we had The Search for Spock as well.

    I do not really save PM's or email unless it is really important or emotionally touching to me.

     

    I will let my PM box fill up from time to time, on this site and most other message boards I have ever been a part of I only let it fill up to about 10 PM's. I do have one message board I belong to that I had just cleared out that had 15 PM's in it some dating from a couple months ago.

    For those who are German, can you speak German? It just that I like typing/talking German

    I used to speak German better when I was still taking classes (but that was between 9 and 12 years ago - 9th through 11th grade years). I can read it still pretty good, though I will check translation just to be sure (using either my German-English dictionary or an online translation site). Just up and speaking German off the top of my head.... I cannot do that nearly as well as when I was younger.

     

    My mom will sometimes still ask me to translate what appears on some movies, we have a laugh about it on the grounds she too can translate a bit of it too..even though she did not take classes(as far as I remember her saying). My dad can speak it and Norwegian better than me, but he tends to use those a lot for music jobs... so he remains in practice.

     

     

    I do like to sing in German, as well as a bunch of other languages even ones that are not in my ancestry (including: Spanish, French, Italian/Latin, Japanese & Swedish) I just look up the lyrics of songs I like and then just learn them, using the song to try and get the pronunciation right. I check out the translation of the songs whenever possible just to see what the words are in English, mainly just for fun... I still sing it in the language it is supposed to be in, rather than singing the translated words :look:

     

    When it comes to singing.. I am practicing singing in Gaelic, because that actually is one of the competitions available at the dance competitions I go to. I am not that good a singer, but I love to sing and I think it would kind of be fun to try it once :laugh:

    I have Irish on both sides of my family :)

     

    Mom's side I am: Norwegian, German, Danish, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Polish & Cree Indian

    Dad's side I am: Norwegian, German & Irish. (Mainly Norwegian on his side. My dad was the first to be born in America, grandpa was born in Norway)

     

    I did not know that my dad was any part Irish until I found a picture of my great aunt standing next to a grave stone, I recognized the name on the stone because it was her's and my grandmother's maiden names. Then I flipped over the picture and said where the photo was taken... the County Cork.

     

    Mom's side is predominantly German, Danish, Norwegian and Scottish... but I still have a pretty good precentage of the other nationalities in me.

     

     

    And on top of it all :eek::look::laugh: I am a competitive Irish dancer :look: (yep, like you see in Riverdance & Lord of the Dance... though I am not at that level of skill, I hope to be one day though!! I have only been taking classes for two years this coming August, and have been competitive for a little over a year.)

    1) Peanut were really good, though the almond, krispy, and plain ones were really good too

     

    2) Green, well it is my favorite color but actually I do not have a favorite M&M color I liked the candy as a whole

     

    3) Nope never separated them by color. Tried not to crack up when classmates did this whole ritual type thing with their blue M&M's because they said it would bring them luck. Every blue M&M they'd do this whole process of motions, I wanted to laugh but since they seemed to really believe in it I just told them I was not going to comment on it because I wanted to be polite.

    Too bad they don't come out with a Data Collection. *pout*

    I definately think they should :dude: Of all of the DVDs of Trek, I would definately get that one. Since all my favorite TNG episodes are centered around him. Ok, and if there were a way to get just the three episode arc of Enterprise with Arik Soong in it I would probably get that one (though I probably would have to fight my sister EmilSoong for that one, LOL! She said he kind of reminds her of Lore, who is one of her most favorite characters of all time.)

    Evanescence "My Immortal"

    Uh, yeah what he said.

    Well, yesterday it was sunny and 78 degrees here in North Florida

     

     

    and then today, the high is 56 degrees, and it is completely cloudy here. *sigh* oh, well. But plus side is it is supposed to clear up and get back into the 70's again soon.

    Sheesh, I keep wanting to believe that we have, for the most part, progressed beyond this. It's sad that we haven't.

    Agreed, it is pathetically sad that people have not progressed passed this. In my family, majority do not have a single problem with the color of a person's skin. One uncle of mine is African American, and thus so are three of my cousins. Color and race are not an issue with us (my friends & family come from a variety of backgrounds), it is truly sad that some people still DO have issues with it.

     

    What matters most is... how the two of you feel about each other, Odo. regardless of what the so called "friends" think.

    i totally agree that kwan shouldn't have gone in the first place. they only let her go because of her name. i feel bad for emily hughes there not be able to go in the first place and being able to experience the whole thing. i think it's time for kwan to go pro and move forward. like most other figure skaters who have won medals and gone on to be professional skaters. that's just my thought.

    You completely have a point, stvoyagerfan21. She CAN go pro, even though I am not a fan of her at ALL, she most certainly can go pro. But, whether she does so everyone will just have to wait and see.

     

     

     

    I swear they bring her up one more time on the TV I think I am going to scream! :laugh: True, today it seems less of an amount... but she is gone, end of subject and please move on to athletes and sports that mean so much more to us viewers. *Was watching men's short program just before coming to the site*

    I find this to be rather funny. Perhaps a bit of a programming glitch? Or did they change the standard year to 13 months?
