The next person has a Ghibli movie that they don't particularly like.

Yes.
"Grave of the Fireflies"

My Sister was born when I was 9-1/2 yrs old and up to the time that she was 8-9 yrs old, was responsible for for a lot of her care. When she was 3 days old, I gave her her first bath at home. I changed her diapers and felt and had such a responsibility for her that I had a repeating nightmare where, briefly I had to carry her up a tall ladder and sit up there and spoon feed her there. She would fall and I would stand and push myself down, trying to get below her so that she would land on me, thus saving her.

Our age differences was roughly the same as the boy and girl in that movie and, watching it, immediately felt some some discomfort. As the movie went on, I could feel myself in the boys position.. only watched it the once...

The next person has sailed a small sailboat solo...

True. The route to my school was along a busy main road (not a street with houses) so especially when I was younger I took a bus. When I was in high school I got into the habit of walking though, since it was only about 20-25 minutes.

The next person gets into new hobbies often.

__________________

No, I wish. Constantly short on time. Hardly have time for my existing hobbies and I try to maintain those a much as possible. Those being painting and hiking and rock climbing. Traveeeel.

The next person would be enjoy being famous.

__________________

I'm thinking false - at least in terms of having less privacy and being under scrutiny all the time. It just seems especially bad nowadays. BUT then again, I do like the idea of being recognised and appreciated for some kind of artistic work.

The next person always eats the same thing for breakfast.

__________________

hahahahaha! Busted! True~

I usually drive by my local Jack-in-a-Box and pick up a "#24 loaded breakfast combo with a regular Iced caramel coffee, a mini-churro (5-piece cinnamon-sugar confection [bite-size]) and either a milk or an orange juice." Once the ladies know it is me, they greet me by name and they already have my order memorized... I also add two large diet-Dr Pepper's with extra ice, that I nurse thru the rest of my day (into the late evening) adding ice at home as necessary.

The sandwich is two-slices of toasted sourdough bread, two eggs, paper-thin slice of ham, two strips of bacon and a small sausage patty and a small hash-brown potato patty... I then usually drive to a local Park and sit and read while dining.. If the weather is bad, (or I just feel lazy) I stay at home and have an oatmeal breakfast...

The following person likes doing crossword puzzles...

__________________

True, but not that I do them very often at all, since I never buy newspapers. And I'm not much good at crosswords with cryptic clues.

The next person likes swimming.

__________________

True!!! Loved to swim!! Have swum in the Pacific and the Atlantic, Unfortunately found a "Portuguese Man-O-War" jellyfish the hard way off the coast of Virginia... (boy, did that hurt).. I've enjoyed the waters of the Hawaiian Islands, Midway Island, Japan, Hong Kong, Subic Bay in the Philippines (nice Sharks and Barracuda there, lol) Vietnamese waters (both beach and river), Acapulco, Mexico and in a pool in Saudi Arabia and many, many hours in the public pool where I live... At the age of 60, I could swim the length of the pool underwater (abt 75 feet)... So, yeah, it could be truthfully said that I like to swim...

But, unfortunately, my Doctor has forbidden me to do anymore swimming for medical reasons, SIGGGHHHH!!!

Once, in the middle of the Pacific, the Captain stopped the ship for Swim Call. Depth was about 2 miles, but I missed that opportunity to swim as I was up on the Signal Bridge of the ship, with a rifle, on shark watch.. darn it, lol.. We even lowered one anchor to 100 feet to determine visibility in the water...

The next person is an Agatha Christie fan...

__________________

Sort of. I have a core memory of reading And Then There Were None. I want to say it was my first ever murder mystery. Loved it. Was so disappointed when I leaned about the underlying and explicit racism in her original writing though. I read modern editions so didn't see the that as much, but ultimately it coloured my view of the author and made it hard to be a fan.

The following person does therapy. Or if that's too personal, the following person is looking forward to their holiday plans

__________________

Hahahaha! A couple of decades ago, It was suggested that I attend some one-on-one therapy sessions, so I did. When done, the therapist told me that he wished more people were as insane as I was.. lol

But with two teenage girl Birthdays, a Daughter-in-law Birthday, and the Holidays still ahead of be before the Year's end, yeah I'm going to be so busy, lol but the is an Annual thing for my Family, so I am ready!!!

False! I've never ridden a sleeper train, and I didn't even know what a Pullman Car was.
