	Despite mostly living in "pop" areas, I pretty much always knew what "soda" was, but the reverse doesn't seem to hold true very much I did live in NJ for a while though. That was "soda"-land, but my parents still called it "pop" at home. I think I asked for "pop" at someone else's house and they got confused or something. ____________________ ~Terra

	Have car alarms ever actually saved anyone? It seems to me they just get accidentally activated constantly, especially at night ____________________ ~Terra

	I sucked at sports and always tended to get the types of PE teachers who wanted everyone to participate or else. Sometimes I'd fake it and run in the general direction of the ball in games like football, without making an actual effort to contribute to the game in a meaningful way. ____________________ ~Terra

I grew up in Lexington, Michigan. Ugh. That area is mostly farmers, rednecks, and some retirees (and that's only because of the proximity to Lake Huron). The US Census Bureau doesn't count it as part of any metro area. We were some of the only people out there with running water. Internet was dialup-only for years (they got DSL recently). I currently live just outside of Detroit, which is at least near stuff, but I love big cities They don't even have to be that big, just someplace with a downtown. I loved Seattle when I visited there this summer. ____________________ ~Terra

	Well, people did get over 12-7 eventually (Pearl Harbor), and that had a pretty hefty death toll and dragged the USA into World War II. ____________________ ~Terra

	My mom is the opposite of my dad in that regard. She has suffered from insomnia for years and used to be kept awake from the sounds of me typing on my computer. ____________________ ~Terra

	"Tonic" makes me think of potions in some RPGs (like SNES Chrono Trigger), and also the word "toxic". I think it's used for soft drinks in the Boston area. ____________________ ~Terra

	I used to type with a hunt-and-peck method which I had honed over the years. It wasn't until a high-school typing class that I learned to use more than 2 fingers I also used to think I was being clever and funny with stuff like "b4", "ne1", and "nme" ____________________ ~Terra
