I do the grocery shopping, have done for years.
I took my daughters when they were little.
My older daughter was driving today.
She parked in an upper level car park.
We were walking towards the stairs like normal humans,
I asked her if she remembered when I put her in a trolley
and rolled her down the ramp crazy fast every week,
she said she did.  ;D

That makes me cry... :'( :) Beautiful.

I think that is just about everybody's list when it comes down to it.  I don't even have enough money for a system yet so the Skyrim thing is just a fantasy  >:(

Skyrim seems interesting, but I'm not a gamer.

Why would you need to be a gamer to play a game where you have to take time out from killing giants and mammoths to work together to kill a dragon??? I thought I understood people once I became an atheist. Oh well back to the drawing board.  ???

LOL, maybe its a guy thing. I like Nickelback. Hate beer. Hate bacon bits. Don't remember who Coldplay is. Don't know what Skyrim is. And wouldn't let ANYONE, even a boyfriend, force me to listen to a particular band if I didn't like them. Only exception to music rule is if he's driving. Driver's taste trumps passenger, no matter what. Although generally I allow for veto power on bands either of us truly despise. For what its worth, I would NEVER made a boyfriend/husband listen to music he didn't like, but judging by your photo I'm at least a generation older than you. I'm all about the equality. :)
If we ever travel thousands of light years to a planet inhabited by intelligent life, let's just make patterns in their crops and leave.

You think I'm pretty young huh?? I'm 27 and I feel like it.  >:(  Anywhoo I never listened to bands because of a girlfriend it was just as you said: Driver trumps passenger. I was the passenger so I had to listen to BS Coldplay and Nickelback.  Funny thing was the only serious gf I had was 35 and I was 20 at the time.  She was listening to bands that girls my age listened to.  I don't really know how anyone can listen to that crap. I like either music with a beat or music that makes me jacked up (My signature is a hint at my favorite band!) On the beer thing a wise man once told me that he only drank the cheapest sh!t he could find.  He said he only drank to get drunk and that anyone who said they drank for the taste was just full of sh!t.  I have to agree although they do make some pretty good fruity drinks, they are usually so expensive who the hell would bother when you are most likely just trying to get wasted. I guess that is what most drunks think. I would rather get wasted once a month on cheap liquor than drink something fruity once a day.   :P

Early Metallica is the only Metallica as far as I am concerned scissorlegs!! Yes they are quite classy. Who else could scream, play that fast and loud, and still get in some deep lyrics?  Biblical type sh!t.  They were a good influence when it came to me turning atheist. My number one influence was Seth Macfarlane.  I had no cable only a 42" tv and an xbox.  So whenever I did get drunk I would watch family guy so much I ended up having to watch it with the commentary turned on so I could find another comment here and there to laugh at.  That was when I found out he was almost the exact same person as the character Brian.  Atheist all the way.  There was also some talk about religion in England from hundreds of years ago.  That and my reading the bible during the same time period were the straw that broke the camels back.

It's a popular thing at my school for the girls to go through each other's iPods. Everybody is always confused by my library because I have at least on song in almost every language, as well as older bands like the Stones, the Who, the Chili Peppers and so on. I also have a lot of house music on my iPod too. It's fun to listen to it when I'm cleaning up the house.  ;D Lately, I've gotten into old Celtic instrumental and bagpipe music. It helps me relax.

I was at a bar about 2 years ago and I got to hear Heavy metal with bagpipes and lyrics in Spanish.  Coolest thing I have ever heard.
