One of the funniest shows ever made. "You watched it, you can't unwatch it," "If that is your freedom day wish," "...and the lies upon lies." Did I mention their spaceship has an Accusing Parlor?!!

Sadly, it would appear even small children can best me on the drums.

If it's bright and happy, I like it. No pastels, though. It's like they took decent colors and made them ugly.

b. Vampires because they seek true love, not blood, these days

Umm... you do realize that your mother works with at risk teens? But you are right, not in my home, thank you. The actual sentiments expressed in the song, seem similar to (I'm probably going to burn for this) "Onward Christian soldiers". And frankly, my kids are much more creative using the F-word.
Love,
Mom
PS I've seen you wear lipstick!
Anon at 8:08 would like pineapple salsa delivered to your mother's address.
"I'm not in it for the pure love of the Chinese language, people!"
Ah, but the question was about what you "study." You do study the Chinese language, do you not? :)
Sorry I never got around to formally taking the quiz. I wouldn't have done very well anyway. At least I knew both your name and Paul's! :)
I did not know there was a prize involved. I thought it was a quiz for fun. Man. I don't think you have to worry about Kimberli being better that you at drums-all kids like anything they are being encouraged to hit.
I think I did fantastic on your quiz for being one of said "in-laws". Granted, I only took the quiz while looking at the posted answers. BUT I did know that you love mac and cheese and are married, of course, to Paul. P.S. I harbor no ill will concerning your not changing your name to Muhlestein. I married a Johnson just to get rid of the name :)
I am proud of you for sticking with a name that might have a chance of being pronounced at some point by somebody other than another member of the family.
And I know you'll understand this one:
Coming up close, everything feels like coming home, come home.
And oh by the way-don't you know that I can make a dream that's barely half awake come true.
One of my favorite singers, Aimee is. Good taste.
PS: Have you tried Firefly? Because you can't get much better than that for good quotes. I mean, how do you top this: "If you take advantage of that child you'll go to the special hell reserved for child abusers and people who talk at the theater."
Mom--sure you don't want it? It is about Crusaders, but I think it has a slightly different perspective than Onward Christian Soldiers. Just for you, I'm listening to "No Shelter."
Cassia--Paul pointed this out too. Technically, the program is Chinese Languages and Civilizations, with me emphasizing the Civs part. You can give yourself half-credit if you'd like.
Heather--the prize was mentioned in the comments. You can have pineapple salsa too if you want.
LeiAnn--I think you did fantastic too if you got any of the questions right. I can match cousins to aunts and uncles, but that's as far as I make it before mixing things up.
Jani--I've never listened to the 'Til Tuesday stuff, only her solo material. We do own and love Firefly, though.
