Sweet Zombie Jesus! I might even be the first person to answer this.

1) Ireland, Germany, and a few from Scottland

2) I suck at losing things: my keys, bike pump, and cell phone, but I did recover the cell phone. I lost all of these things at the same time. I would also be interested in relosing my virginity as I seem to have recovered that as well.

3) I haven't had a "real" vacation since I can remember...that is, over a week of lesiure. But I did take a few days over memorial day last year to go to Toronto and that rocked. I've been working this job for over a year and half and just broke 40 hours of vacation time accumulated.

4) Most recent dream was a nightmare of sorts that I can't remember all the details. I do remember staying awake for a while after I woke up in the middle of it so I wouldn't pick up where I left off if I went back to sleep to quickly. Otherwise it's been pretty bleak in dreamworld.

5) "War, huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

Successfully updated karma reason!

1) Wales, Scotland, and a little bit from England.

2) My mind? But seriously I can't remember the most recent thing I lost. I know the remote wanders occasionally, so I would probably have to go with that.

3) Summer of 2003, 10 days in Utah with family. But between flying with two little ones, traveling back and forth to make the families happy, well, it wasn't much of a vacation.

4) I have had so many dreams lately they are running together. I recall one recently that involved some bizarre sort of fantasy world, swords and monsters, that sort of thing. Yes, I am a nerd.

5) Since I am blasting music into my ears through my headphones I have whatever the current song playing is. Right now? "Quiet Place" by In Flames.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

Ireland, mainly, but also England, Holland, Germany, China, and Africa

2/ What have you lost lately ?

Where to start...keys, cell phone, debit card, checkbook, drivers license...all in my car...and all found again

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

This past July, in Mesquite, Nevada.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?

Ummm...being locked inside of a closet, with stairs that were at the back of the closet. The stairs lead to nowhere.

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?

Never Alone from ZOEgirl, as well as Kiss the Rain from Billie Myers

1. I'm 3/4 German, 1/4 Danish. I'm sure those aren't the true parts...there's probably lots of mutt in me, too.

2.You're kidding, right? I lose about 15 things every day. So much so that the only thing permanent that I've lost is my mind.

3. We have a 3 day weekend from school right now! I just woke up, its 8:30, and the only thing we have planned for today is motorcycle hunting. As for a vacation that was planned and taken for any length of time...I guess that would be right after my senior year of high school. We went to a resort in northern Minnesota with my mom, dad, sister and I, and I think only one aunt and uncle joined us at the resort. Link We fished, swam, and one day I woke up to see Andrew, the resort owners' son, then about...hmmm...11...looking in on me sleeping. Looking forward to our spring break this year, though. We're going to LA...going to the PRICE IS RIGHT, baby!

4. I had one last night, but I don't really remember what it was about. The most recent one I remember was that another teacher at school was trying to steal me away from Ryan.

5. "She's Been On My Mind" (I think that's what it is called), by Hawk Nelson.

Here goes my first time responding to the "Friday Five"....

1/ Where are your ancestors from?
Maternal - English and Danish
Fraternal - Irish and Scottish

2/ What have you lost lately?
My will to work hard for my ass of a boss...lol, and more importantly, my ATM card, which I left in the machine after I bought
stamps in it last night...Stupid Wells Fargo

3/ When did you last have a vacation?
In June for a week - went to Teton National Park (Wyoming), Jackson Hole(Wyoming) and the West entrance side of
Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)

4/ What was your most recent dream about?
I don't remember dreams very often but a few nights ago I dreamed my boss left money outside the safe overnight yet again
but this time the camera caught him and he got fired!! If only dreams could come true....

5/ Which song is stuch in your head at the moment?
"Tubular Bells" which is the instrumental music played in the movie "The Exorcist"...it plays a few times a day on the Muzak

hi melissa. WELCOME

and the West entrance side of Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)

i'm australian, melissa, so this sounds like a dream to me. reminds me of yogi bear !

Maternal - English and Danish. Fraternal - Irish and Scottish

what a lovely mix. i bet you have some lively family occasions !

and one day I woke up to see Andrew, the resort owners' son, then about...hmmm...11...looking in on me sleeping.

awww, marcie helen, i think that's so sweet (in a slighty creepy way !). he had a crush on you !

So much so that the only thing permanent that I've lost is my mind.

hah !. i know the feeling, marcie helen, i really do !

Ummm...being locked inside of a closet, with stairs that were at the back of the closet. The stairs lead to nowhere

oh, yuck !. i do hope that was a 'one off' !

Ireland, mainly, but also England, Holland, Germany, China, and Africa

what a diverse and fascinating family you have, silver and jade tears

I recall one recently that involved some bizarre sort of fantasy world, swords and monsters, that sort of thing. Yes, I am a nerd.

oh, that sounds great. i try to have dreams about more creative stuff, but i rarely do, so i envy your dreamlfe, bludev !

Wales, Scotland, and a little bit from England.

another lovely boy. that's a great lineage, bluedev

Sweet Zombie Jesus! I might even be the first person to answer this.

alphonse !. you're awake at the same time as me !. you're a real person !

*swoons * *faints*

Ireland, Germany, and a few from Scottland

a fine pedigree, alphonse. exchange 'german' for 'english' and you have moi !. and i think your 3rd and 4th answers are connected somehow.

I would also be interested in relosing my virginity as I seem to have recovered that as well.

that damned '2nd virginity' thing. i suffered from that, too. it seems to happen once you link arousal with intellectual stimulation. i'm like a pavlovian dog now with clever men. (ugh. don't tell anyone i said that. how mortifying).

Anscestors: German-Irish

Ugg, the eyes aren't working too well this morning LW. When I first read that I swear it said "German-ish". I was going to ask what exactly German-ish was. Now I just feel like an idiot.

I did the exact same thing, and didn't notice it wasn't german-ish until your post...

1/ Ancestry: Rather indeterminate, although most probably involving some Scots and English.
2/ Lost: a roll of film. (Found it in my coat pocket a week later.)
3/ Vacation: I took a sick day Tuesday... does that count?
4/ Dream: the main bit that I recall from anything recent was following Krystal around as she was a teenager, wandering about a building.
5/ Song: Lump, because I just read some amusing parody lyrics on Groklaw.

just like suspeckted, sabrina. this is a combination that i like !

a new friendship i was trying to rebuild with an old internet acquaintance, and any respect i once had for her and her lover

such fickle morons don't deserve your friendship, sabrina. and you have some new contenders to replace those turds anyway. such as my good self ! heh !. (i always end up typing daft stuff to you when i'm up late, you know !).

Lucid, dreamt on purpose for metaphysical reasons

i've been looking lately at ways to have more input into what i dream, and i think this is fascinating.

Now I just feel like an idiot

ah, no need bluedev. i make far dumber mistakes than that almost daily. just hang around for a while. it's certain to happen !

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

I honestly don't know. I was adopted as an infant, and have no family history. Now my adoptive family aka my 'real' paents...they're french. We are a bunch of bastards...descended from the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror. We pissed royalty off for many years, so much so that a couple of us got imprisoned in the Tower of London...where we got inventive and scratched our name into the stone of the wall. It's still there, I've seen it.

2/ What have you lost lately ?

umm...my supper, literally, the night before last.

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

This summer. We stayed with D's folks in Indiana. Before that..well, it's been years. Like 10 years or more.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?

I was trying to comb my hair and it was coming out in clumps.

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?

'Picture Book'...i dunno by who, but it's a song on a TV commercial for digital cameras.

citahellion, were you by any chance holding a large stick and chasing a teenaged boy away from her ?

I took a sick day Tuesday... does that count?

as long as you wasted it and had a relaxing day !

Ancestry: Rather indeterminate, although most probably involving some Scots and English.

i suspected as much also, citahellion.

I did the exact same thing, and didn't notice it wasn't german-ish until your post

silver and jade tears, i wonder how sabrina will feel about being mistaken for, err, german-ish. whatever it is !!. sounds interesting, at the very least !

LoL... german-ish...perhaps the hope of being German, mixed with the denial that you aren't? Not that Sabrina is that...as that is a misread...

that's a terrible nightmare, dharma. sounds like a stress symptom to me.

umm...my supper, literally, the night before last

i'm not surprised with everything you've had going on. i do hope you're feeling well again

We are a bunch of bastards...descended from the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror. We pissed royalty off for many years, so much so that a couple of us got imprisoned in the Tower of London

i think that's exciting, dharma !. how glam !. and they are so lucky to have you. my family are boring and dotty hehe !.

indeed, silver and jade tears. but i do like your description of what german-ish might be. and sabrina could never pass for german-ish with her irish flaming red hair to give her away !

migs...heres an excellent introductory page on Lucid Dreaming that i recommended to Dylan this morning....enjoy!

i didn't see the link, but i know you'll fix that as soon as i go to bed and i'll miss it !. it's 3am, and i am dragging my sleepy self off to bed now. goodnight !

And actually, im more "german-ish" than Irish i suppose, because ive never been to Ireland but spent the better parf of my childhood in West Germany.....does that count?

so german-ish does exist after all !. of course it counts !.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ? The north of Africa, the iberian peninsula and France.

2/ What have you lost lately ? Decisiveness

3/ When did you last have a vacation ? You already know the answer. And no, i won't bring it up again.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ? Running across an open plain and then into dense forest. Don't read too much into it, i think it's a recurring childhood memory that finds relevance every once in a while. In this case it's been my new found ability to run after so many years of smoking and a sense of freedom due to my graduation being so near.

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ? Still Waiting by Sum 41. Read my answer to the last question and it will probably make sense. Damn catchy song to.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ? Ireland and Newfoundland

1/ Where are your ancestors from ? Paternal - England/Scotland Maternal - the country formerly known as Yugoslavia

2/ What have you lost lately ? About $3000.00 foreign language pay to the Army. Still trying to get it back.

3/ When did you last have a vacation ? One year ago, almost to the day. Although, my mother and sister visited a while back and I took some time off but it was more their vacation, than mine.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ? I don't know... I recently had a dream that is recurring for me where I have the ability to fly...almost... it depends on my ability to keep my legs moving as if I'm running. I can go over anything so long as I'm running.

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ? I don't know... I only have snippets of it replaying... not even enough to post lyrics and get help figuring it out...I sure wish it would stop, though.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

Not sure exactly. Ireland is one for sure.

2/ What have you lost lately ?

The kids usually lose the lid for the milk jug. Things get lost a lot at my house. We waste lots of time looking for homework, the other shoe, the car keys, the peanut butter, the remote, the Pokemon plate, the thermometer, sunglasses, the nailclippers, the permanent marker, the purple Solomon Elementary t-shirt, the cordless phone . . . I could go on . . .

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

I would consider my husband's leave a "vacation." That was about a week and a half ago. We mostly vegged out and watched movies and played video games, but we also ate at a lot of neat places, went snorkeling in a water-filled volcanic crater (Hanauma Bay), spent a couple of days at the beach, visited the Macadamia Nut farm, went to see A Shark's Tale with the kids at the movie theater, went bowling, and did a bunch more neat stuff. We had a terrific time, and it was so nice to have my husband back at home again.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?

My sleep has been very interrupted lately because of my ear infection, but the last dream I remember had something to do with me going back home to Texas.

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?

I Just Called To Say I Love You Stevie Wonder. My dad used to sing that to me when I was little.

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

Poland, all of them. Line traces back to the 12th century.

2/ What have you lost lately ?

My way, a few times, damn I hate this city.

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

Well seeing that I'm still not working anywhere, I suppose I'm on a quasi-vacation right now. If we're talking about a proper vacation...over 8 years ago.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?

You so don't want to know

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?

Lostprophets' "Lucky You"

Successfully updated karma reason!

1/ Where are your ancestors from ?

Ireland. My grandmother's father was from Germany, but he abandon the family and drove her mother into a deep depression from which she only escaped by committing suicide. He has since been erased from the family tree. All the rest are Irish.

2/ What have you lost lately ?

All sense of responsibility and perspective...and I blame the Boston Red Sox. Also a glass ring I bought in Venice.

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?

In August I went to England for my best friends wedding and we went on a five day "hen weekend" in Venice (well, Lido off of Venice--we wanted the beach). At the end of November I'm going to Liverpool England for five days to visit some friends. I am a firm believer that I work to live and travelling to see friends makes me happy so I do it as much as possible!

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?
I think I had a dream that the Red Sox won the World Series, but I am being told that it actually happened

5/ Which song is stuck in your head at the moment ?
None--thank you, and I would appreciate if you didn't encourage one to take up residence there!

Where are your ancestors from ?
mmm, all over the world actually. Mostly the Caribbean and Europe.

2/ What have you lost lately ?
Not what, whom, My mom then my aunt. It's been a tough year for us. My father -in-law, my uncle. Wow. I miss my mom a lot.

3/ When did you last have a vacation ?
Ye gads! Well, my best friend recently visited us and we took a week off. She came to us. However, I'm about to take my mom's ashes home next month, but that won't be a vacation.

4/ What was your most recent dream about ?
Again, sorry guys, this must become tiresome, my mom.
