Guilty or Not Guilty II

[Samael]

Guilty, unfortunately.

My co-workers made fun of me for it.
Bastards.

The Next Person has slept underneath the stars at least once

[imalux]

Guilty. I used to go camping all of the time in the Sierra Nevadas and even when it was cold, it was worth it to look up and see the milky way without any light pollution from the city. 

The next person would love 'the Great Outdoors' if it wasn't for all the bugs

[Lilias]

Not guilty. 20 years ago, maybe, but now my comfort baseline has risen beyond roughing it.

TNP has never tried an extreme sport.

[RainyHigh]

If rollerblading or inline skating doesn't count, then yes, Guilty. I used to have scabs on my ankles from all the blading I did--and knees when I stupidly decided to hold onto a friends bike as they rode through the streets, I let go, and then hit a rock. Blam. I'm glad I didn't bust my teeth.

Passing it on~

TNP has never tried an extreme sport.

[LostInTheMist]

I did a little BMX back when I was in middle school, but ended when I went a little too enthusiastic over a jump and almost broke my neck. (And I landed on my head, splitting my helmet in half lengthwise.) After that, I just couldn't hack it any more. I never had any problem riding that bike... I just couldn't do BMX any more.

Passing it on.

[Observing Trifles]

I had to look up what was considered an extreme sport, but based on what Wikipedia tells me, I'm guilty. The most extreme thing I do is aerial acro, but all considered, that's pretty safe compared to hang gliding white-water rafting!

The next person likes sparkling water.

[LostInTheMist]

Under very specific circumstances, yes. (It's good for an upset stomach, along with water crackers (eg, saltines.) Usually I prefer some flavor with my sparkle. And no, LaCroix doesn't count as flavored, just because someone looked really hard at a fruit while making it.

TNP likes iced tea more than hot tea.

[imalux]

Not guilty! I love LOVE hot tea, mostly chamomile or cinnamon apple or otherwise uncaffeinated teas but I also love earl grey, english breakfast, jasmine green... etc. Iced tea is usually pretty hit or miss for me because it tends to be way too sweet or the flavor itself is bland.

TNP has a favorite (but questionable) food combination. 

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty: Macaroni and cheese with tuna and black olives. But served cold from the refrigerator. I don't like the texture of macaroni reheated in the microwave. So the solution is to eat it cold. I've never found anyone else who likes cold macaroni.

TNP doesn't put dressing on their salads.

[Observing Trifles]

Not guilty, I do put dressing on my salad, but I only really like one dressing and it's hard to get, so I eat salads very rarely.

The next person did laundry today.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty, but with a caveat that there's enough time left today to do laundry, and I AM going to do it this evening.

TNP has had a plumbing problem in their place of residence some time in the past six months.

[imalux]

Guilty... I literally had my pipes freeze and had to have someone use a giant propane heater under my house to thaw them. Which is so stupid because we left the water running and everything. Thankfully no pipes burst, and everything was resolved with a little bit (a lot a bit) of heat. 

TNP can't wait for the summertime - or, at the very least, the warmth of actual spring. 

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. The worst of the cold seems to have passed in my area. It's not exactly warm, but we have overnight lows in the high 30s to mid 40s and highs in the mid 50s to low 60s. I like when it's a little colder out than most. Plus, I like the shorter days. But I know most people prefer summer to winter. To which:

TNP prefers summer to winter.

[Chasing Dreams]

Not guilty. I prefer winter.

The next person likes to go skiing in the winter.

[Samael]

Haha, not guilty.
I fear I'd break my legs.
I'm 6'6", at that point you have to deal with your own gravity for everything you do.

The next person loves artistic movies.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I mean, it's hard to say what I will and won't like, so I'm sure there are artistic movies that I would like, but when watching a movie, I like to be entertained. Whether that's an action movie, an epic fantasy, great science fiction, a romantic comedy, what have you... artistic movies have their merits, but aren't always focused on entertaining an audience, and for me, that's what's most important about a movie... am I not entertained?

TNP prefers science fiction to fantasy.

[imalux]

Not guilty! I love them both equally but I think fantasy (specifically high fantasy) allows me to suspend belief within my writing as much as I'd like - magic can do anything! while Sci-Fi requires things to at least have a believable degree of scientific backing and I worry I'm not always smart enough to do so passably. 

TNP has been meaning to get into D&D and just hasn't found a good place to start. 

[JadesJubilee]

Not guilty!! I've actually got a session scheduled for tomorrow morning, funnily enough. It's only the second with this group so far, but I'm really enjoying it.

The next person has had the chance to read a new book recently.

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty. A bunch of them actually since Christmas. I have read Arazan's Wolves and Ambush at Sorato by John Flanagan, Wind and Truth and Defiant by Brandon Sanderson and then Siege and Storm and now Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo.

TNP is looking for a new one-on-one.

[imalux]

Guilty! I'm coming back from a bit of an impromptu hiatus and still getting the feel for things again, but I miss writing individual stories too! Although I'm very much a fan of the large group games I'm in and love working in a mass-collaboration. 

TNP has unanswered inbox messages that they've been totally meaning to get to. 

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I owe replies in most of my games... I just haven't been able to motivate myself to write AT ALL lately. But that's different from having replies I need to get to in my inbox. (Though I am playing one RP through my PMs, so in that sense I have ONE reply, but not plurals that I need to get to.)

TNP is procrastinating hard on something (either writing or an RL task/chore.)

[CyrodilicBrandy]

.......guilty. i have adhd, sue me!

the next person hasn't had enough water to drink today. 

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty I think. I've been nursing a low-grade headache all day, and I think it's because I haven't had enough water. I'm curled up with a book, a snack, and a bottle of water now, so hopefully that will be solved.

In the last two weeks TNP has been so absorbed in something that they've skipped or missed a meal they don't normally skip or miss.

[Observing Trifles]

Not guilty. On work days, I don't eat breakfast and I'm never able to skip lunch because my friend from accounting always comes and gets me, and on weekends I value my mealtimes so I'll make time even when I'm busy. In the past, I would do this a lot due to work stress, but not anymore.

The next person has a drawer just for snacks.

[CyrodilicBrandy]

not guilty! 

i just shove it all in the pantry. i wish i had snacks right now. payday cannot come soon enough. 

the next person has forgotten about a subscription service demo/trial before the next payment was due.
