Marianna has been with us on MTaG since our humble beginnings over a year ago. During that time, I have watched her laugh and watched her cry, and what always struck me most was her inner beauty and strength. She is a true inspiration!

What made you decide to get two pet rats?

http://www.mindtheagegap.com/forum/image.php?u=12&dateline=1144691792:

Mainly because I couldn't have a dog. Rats are intelligent and seek human company. They also only live for two years, so they are the perfect short commitment! :p Oh, they were so nice, I got two more.

What was the last song you sang out loud?

A track by some obscure unsigned Swedish 80s band. Hope this helps.

Tell us about a favorite event of your childhood.

http://www.mindtheagegap.com/forum/image.php?u=12&dateline=1144691792:

When, at the age of 3, I had taught myself what to read and asked my mother, who was reading a newspaper, what a 'sex murder' was.

Also, around the same time, when my mother would scrub me in the bath and I would complain "You're peeling off my meat!!". :cool:

Oh, and when I would visit my grandmother's farm and run up into the hills and hang with the young stallions (literally). I was mad about horses ever since my dad promised me one to keep in the garden when I was 7. I had soon drawn barn conversion plans of the garage and measured the size of the garden. Of course, it was all a bloody lie, but I am still hoping.

What is your favorite Biblical story?

http://www.mindtheagegap.com/forum/image.php?u=12&dateline=1144691792:

The one about Jesus. :D

Tell us two truths and one lie--the other members will be asked to guess which is which.

http://www.mindtheagegap.com/forum/image.php?u=12&dateline=1144691792:

a) I'm pals with an 80s band :cool:
b) I was once engaged :eek:
c) I used to have a Doberman. :p

I think number 3 is the lie.;)

Your pets are cute! But since you are a cat I am thinkig you have other plans in mind? lol:D

I think I'm going with #2....
Not that I don't think it's possible.... :p :D

i love rats! I had 9 up until recently, but Scared, DC and Sputnik died - so I'm left with AC, Bon, Suki, Spot, Schmirnoff and Spooky Tooth :D

I say #3. I think I recall you mentioning that you've always wanted a Doberman.

Your pets are cute! But since you are a cat I am thinkig you have other plans in mind? lol:D

They are getting nice and fat... ;)

I guess #3, er, C

#1

I think b is the lie. I think I remember about you leaving behind your dog when you moved.

I am pretty sure you are pals with an 80's band...i am guessing they are probably around their forties so perfect for someone who works in the music industry and feels comfortable around older people.

I want you to know that I love you girl, and I wish everything goes always good for you because you deserve it. You are one of the nicest people i have met here, along with many others, and just for that i am happy i found mtag!

#2 my guess :)

They are getting nice and fat... ;)

I knew it! lol;)

I think if you ask your Dad for a horse that is entrapment?;) :D

I can just see you playing him too? Puppy eyes with the biggest pouty lips?:p :D And the words pleassssssssssse Daddy!:p ;)

Older people? Eeeew. Who would want to hang around people that are older or younger??! Stick to your own age, that's what I say. ;)

AAAAW! :) :D You know I love you, too - you are my echo of reason, haha! You are one of the most emotionally intelligent people I have come across. How DARE you move from my continent! :p

Now, this is honestly the true story - this was actually HOW I got an interest for horses - my dad and I were out in the garden (a huge one), and he said "I love you so much I would buy you a horse to keep in the garden.".

WHY anyone would say that, is beyond me. :confused: :o

I pick #2!

So when am I supposed to say? ;)

So when am I supposed to say? ;)
Whenever you want. ;)

You can even draw it out till the next day to drive us crazy...like Vicky did. :D

The lie is 2 - I have never been engaged!

I have had a Doberman, as can be seen in my photo album, and I AM friends with an 80s band (well, one could call them 80s, but they've never stopped touring since they started in the late 70s).

Haha. I knew it! :D

I was right, yeah!!!
