- What single food on the Thanksgiving dinner menu did you most look forward to?
Must be the stuffed turkey (since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here). I saw my (Indonesian) friend had smoked turkey for Thanksgiving with her family in the U.S. on her FaceBook and I was drooled over the picture..... Tim's Thanksgiving meals were also so tempting! - What single food was your least favorite?
Must be something with loads of veggies since I don't really like them. - How many plates of food did you eat? Did you take the big nap afterwards?
You'll be amazed how someone like me can REALLY eat a lot! I don't sleep after taking meals, it would be bad for my tummy. - Take the quiz: What holiday food are you?
You Are a Fruitcake People pretend you're sweet and precious, but they know how weird you really are!

I don't really like sweet stuff, no matter who made it :) - How many meals of leftovers did you bring home?
I'd bring as much as the host gives me. Hehe,

Turkey and the Trimmings
Surprisingly, there is no real evidence of turkey being served at the first Thanksgiving feasts in the early 17th century. Apparently, "turkey" was the generic name to describe all fowl. Venison pops up in many historical accounts of the holiday as well as corn, boiled pumpkin, berries, and, possibly shellfish. Most still incorporate pumpkins in the traditional pie and berries in the form of cranberry sauce with their modern holiday meal. - Indian Corn
Hanging multi-colored corn with husks attached on our doors is a custom that reminds us how important corn was to the survival of early colonists. That's a big reason to give thanks! Many Native American Indians, who helped pilgrims plant corn crops, believed the grain to be divine. Corn has long been associated with harvest festival as many ancient cultures celebrated in the fall by honoring gods of corn. Greeks worshipped, Demeter, the goddess of grains and Romans celebrated Ceres, goddess of corn. - Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Just about every American turns on the television to see the enormous floating balloons in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Since 1927, New Yorkers flock to the streets to see grand characters fly through the air and many gather the night before to watch the process of inflating the balloons. - Thanksgiving Day Football
For some people, a holiday where football is the focus is their most prized of all. 11 years after Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday the first intercollegiate football game was played. Soon after the Northeast Intercollegiate Football Association was formed with the championship game scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving Day. Since the late 19th century Princeton and Yale have played each other almost every holiday. The tradition caught on quickly and today many college and pro teams spend the day on the gridiron and their fans spend the day in front of the tube.
If I celebrated Thanksgiving, I'd love the food the most and I'd be very happy if I could just skip the football part as I'm not interested in any kind of sports..... Oh, I wouldn't like to meet up with my relatives, too - especially the nosy and the annoying ones! :)

How many hours of TV do you watch per week? Do you feel that's too much, not enough or just right?
Less than 5 hours a week. It's just right. I'd rather get on-line :)
Which of the 5 senses do you feel is your strongest sense?
| You are the Sense of Touch |
 You are a highly sensitive and easily moved person. You love to get as close to other people as possible. Human connection is very important to you. You are also likely to be an animal lover who loves animals as much as humans. In fact, you like almost anything soft! You have expensive taste in clothes and furniture. It's all about the fabric. |
What's the wackiest belief you held as a child?
That babies came out from our bellybutton. Blame my gramma for that mislead.
- In your own blog, are you more likely to discuss personal relationships, religion or politics?
Anything that interests me and is related to me. - If you needed a “tagline” or sub-title for your blog, what would you use to describe your blog?
I change my tagline from time to time. My current tag line is a quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson. "To be great is to be understood." - You notice that a close “blog buddy” of yours has suddenly removed the link to your blog from his or her website. Do you contact that person to ask why you’re no longer linked, or ignore it?
Ignore it. Anyone and every one is free to choose what they want to read and who they want to be as friends :) - Take the quiz: What Kind of Blogger Are You?
You Are a Life Blogger! 
Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary. If it happens, you blog it. And you make it as entertaining as possible. You may be guilty of over-sharing a bit on your blog, but you can't help it. Your life is truly an open book. Or in this case, an open blog!
- If there was no such thing as feed readers, the sites or that allow you keep up with multiple blogs at once, and the only way for you to actually keep up with your blogging friends was to actually go to their own individual blog every time, how many blogs do you think you would seriously read regularly?
I do read my Vox's neighbors' blog regularly. Thank you Vox for the practicality! - If you learned that each of the following people had been secretly reading your blog for a while now, which one would make you want to look back through your content to see if any apologies might be necessary: your parents, your children, your best friend, your pastor, your boss, or your worst enemy?
My worst enemy, which I have none :)
Show us your Halloween costume. Bonus points: write a Halloween poem to go with it.
I have no Halloween costume to wear this year as I don't go to the party. But anyway, according to this quiz, I should be a fairy or a mermaid :)
Short, tiny, skinny
That is me, the black fairy
Happy Halloween!
The election is a week from today, who are you going to vote for?
| Your Issue Profile: 72% Obama, 28% McCain |
 While it sounds like Obama is the choice for you, he's not a perfect match. You and John McCain actually share some of the same views. Whether this is news to your or not, you have some studying to do. Obama seems like he's the right fit, but it's an important issue might sway you over to McCain. |
| What Your Cute Monster Says About You |
 You are a deep, thoughtful, down to earth person. You don't put much stock in appearances. You are never superficial or flippant. You take time in life to study, learn, and get to know people well. You inner demon is laziness. You can get so caught up in your own world that you neglect everything around you.People think you're cute because you're intelligent. Your wit and wisdom are charming. |
| You Are Wednesday |
 Like this day of the week, you are ruled by Mercury. More than anything, you are unpredictable. You are witty and wise - but you are also easily bored. You tend to be flighty and careless. You are unreliable at times.In some ways, it's perfect that you match up with hump day. You are always coasting downhill - even when it seems like an uphill battle. |
