I dabble in music:

I play Saxophone, Guitar, Bass and so-so on Keyboards. I played Violin and Cello in grade school. Now I use my computer to play around with with music, my guitar and bass are wired through a midi connector and when I can borrow my friends keyboard, its integrated through midi as well.

Next purchase a drum machine. :)

My Question....

If got offered Solvista or Powderhorn Ski Area which one would you take ownership of and why?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Solvista! I've never been there but I hear it's more "private" and remote than any of the other resorts. It also looks extremely cool!

The last pricey thing, or the last thing in general? Because the last thing I bought was a can of stir-fry veggies and a gallon of milk. The last pricey thing I bought would probably be a Salomon soft-shell jacket back in January.

Have you ever played a musical instrument, either in school band or just goofing off? I've played trombone, baritone, electric bass, upright bass, percussion, and drums in school band, and I still have a six-string Fender Dreadnought that I noodle around on.

I play guitar (not well) It's a cool thing to get into. I'm also a complete computer geek. Is the computer considered an instrument?

No, it's a tool with which to enhance your music once recorded. Although I suppose Moby and Orbital, et cetera, would disagree.

Favourite television shows? Fear Factor, because I could do all that. American Dreams, because it has a compelling story line and all. Saturday Night Live, if I can stay up that long- it's past my bedtime, you know.

Birthday meal? That's where you get to pick anything you want to have for dinner on your birthday. I'd pick either stuffed flank steak with rice pilaf, or grilled salmon (also with rice pilaf) followed by raspberry cheescake for dessert.

For favorite television show I would say a poker show, or one of the reality shows more like Ripley's. MXC on Spike is awesome.

For the birthday meal, breadsticks, crab or salmon, and for dessert, chocolate. There are so many other great dishes I have had for the main course but I can't list them all here. I would never give up a chocolate dessert for a different dessert. I'm a chocoholic.

I see that by your signature. I like it too but I also like pastries and such, so I could give it up if I had to. Now, coffee is a different story...

By the way, you didn't ask your own question. That's how this thread works.

I would like to ignore doing homework. I hate It! Here's another big Q: Which would you pick, a chicken or an egg?

I'm still in the first 13 years of my life, and I don't have any stuff like a credit card, so I'd have my idenity stolen.
I'd take a chicken over an egg, because a chicken gives you lots of eggs, and you get the chicken.

Would you rather get a Mac or Windows? I like Windows, just because there is more stuff to get for Windows (or at least that is what I have found).

I personally would go with Windows just because I have used it all my life and I can work a lot faster on a computer with Windows than OS X. Of course Macs don't crash like Windows which is nice, but I had the command key to delete stuff, right click, etc. Also, some programs cost more for a Mac than for a computer with Windows. Plus, I would hate to go out and buy all new software if I got a mack for the programs that I already have.

Windows! I'm more familiar with it's interface.
Would you rather have a week on a luxury cruise or a week in Disneyworld?

luxury cruse but both if possible. My question.

Would you rather get a skiing grant that pays for all your skiing up to age 16 or would you like to win a ski equipment package that pays for all the best custom made ski equip.

Me, would be the ski equip package

I would probably do the grant that pays for the skiing, since I would probably outgrow my skis. I haven't had my growth spurt yet.

What is your favorite game? I like a lot of games, and one of my favorites is Monopoly, because I usually win.

Actually, if you're an alpine racer and your points are low enough, ski companies may sponsor you. I know when I was younger, I got a letter from Atomic wanting to know if I would like to try a pair of its skis. I got got a brand new pair of Volkls and I never really liked Atomic so I never sent in the letter. I guess I should have but oh well.

My favorite game is probably Ghettopoly right now. I have only played it once, but it's really funny. Probably not the best game for you if you arn't 17 yet. :devil:

Video game would be True Crime or Grand Theft Auto.

When did you first start skiing? I started when I was 2.
