1. What is my middle name?
Anne 6
Ann 9
Abigail 10
Amelia 1
Adelaide 0
Pretty darn correct. I think this is one of those things that I've never mentioned in my blog, but quite a few of you guessed correctly.
2. What is the Devil Dog's name?
A.J. 2
Nick 1
Brian 3
Kevin 3
Howie 17
Yes, all of his rage is based on being named after one of the Backstreet Boys, namely the guacamole-loving one.
3. In which class did I get an A+ last semester?
501 - Use of Information 9
504 - Social Systems & Collections 6
540 - Understanding Networked Computing 3
682 - User Interface Design 8
User Interface Design was leading for a while there, obviously based on your recognition of my skills in that area... but it was in 501 that I got an A+, all by riding on the coattails of my groupmates. I don't think I mentioned this in my blog either, so it's completely understandable if you got it wrong. Guessing is fun, folks! Right?
4. Which is not one of my favorite movies?
Sliding Doors 2
The Empire Strikes Back 12
Tampopo 5
Amélie 1
Pirates of Penzance 6
Yars. I know it's everyone's favorite, but I never got into it much. It makes me want to punch Lando Calrissian in the nuts and the part where they land in something's stomach has always freaked me out. I prefer Return of the Jedi, ewoks and all.
5. Of these, which is my favorite color?
Black 1
Green 12
Yellow 1
Blue 7
Red 5
Yeah, uh, my own mother didn't know this one, so I don't know how you could be expected to. It might be in my 100 things, but I can't remember. More guessing.
6. My favorite flavour of bubble tea is:
Almond 8
Coconut 10
Papaya 3
Strawberry 3
Oreo 2
This one was in my blog. For shame!
7. I spent Easter 2001:
Pretending to be a bell 0
In a French monastery 5
Throwing up 4
Both 1 and 2 5
Both 2 and 3 12
For this one, you had to know a couple of things. First, you had to know that I spent Easter 2001 in a monastery, hiding Easter eggs. Then you had to know that in France, Easter eggs and candy are brought by the Easter bell rather than the Easter bunny. Then you had to remember this and put it together... I like that you all think I throw up on all major holidays, though!
8. My favourite flavour of ice cream is:
Peppermint 1
Mint chocolate chip 8
Chocolate 4
Coffee 13
Coconut 0
Mmmmmmm. I'm sure I've mentioned it somewhere.
9. My sister's name is:
Alfreda 3
Alexis 1
Rebecca 17
Stephanie 3
Emily 2
The three votes for Alfreda make my mother very sad. Yes, as I sometimes slip and call Alfie Becky, many of you had caught on.
10. Which of the following is true?
I danced on the altar at Salisbury Cathedral. 3
My maternal grandmother was a spy in WWII. 0
I studied Chinese for one semester. 13
I spent a year living and teaching in the Puy-de-Dome department of France. 6
None of these are true.
They're all close: I danced on the altar at Winchester Cathedral, accidentally convinced my students that my grandmother was a spy and spent a year living and teaching in the Allier department.

Three people thought my name was Alfreda? Wow.
