Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? Older (by 4 years) sister. We had the exact same childhood, but completely different reaction to it. She claims that she was spoiled and it ruined her life by not making her work hard, but she also claims I was more spoiled (this is true, ha!) and I'm an incredibly hard worker and didn't take the paid-for undergrad education for granted.
Oh, and because of that, she doesn't feel the need to pay for college for her kids, but my parents are maybe getting around this because their entire estate goes to the kids (half to hers, half to mine (me for now)), and I'm the trustee, so I am in charge of paying it out for school. So there!

Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?----> Lane is 2 years older and is as stubborn as they come-hence our current situation of not speaking to each other. He's smart, funny, tends to drink too much, loves to play poker (almost won a WSOP bracelet in March) and has a GF I hate. Hopefully he will kick her to the curb soon and we can resume being siblings. He used to be fiercely protective of me and beat up kids who made fun of me. He's the only father figure I've known. Love him and miss him.
Can you fake any accents? ---> Yes, most of them. The good ear helps a lot. When we get toasty at bars, us girls like to speak in our British accents.

I also imitate people who call in, so southern accents, NY, Boston, mid west, etc. I do 'em all

Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
I've got my one and only sista. Growing up we were absolute opposites, she was grunge, I was mainstream and we fought like it was nobody's business. But then in college we became really close (I think it's because my parents were in another country and we had to rely on each other). We've come to a happy medium in our personalities.
Can you fake any accents? nope. totally horrible at any and all accents. But I can play drunk really well!

Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? I have two younger sisters who are twins. They are much closer to each other, so I end up feeling left out a lot. M can be very quiet, but she's very loyal. And K is very outspoken and frankly, bitchy. They are only a few years behind me, but they still kind of act like high schoolers. If you followed their twitter accounts without knowing their age, you might mistake them for 13 yr olds.
I want to go at least once more before kids. Then again, I had never been as a kid. DH is the one who took me to Disney for the first time.
