Guilty/Not Guilty

[iluvtodd]

not directly, so not guilty - Although I do remember we were on a tour, and one of tourmates got pickpocketed. Not sure if the criminal got caught.

Do you consider yourself to be accident-prone?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty. I had one major accident in life where I almost died, took 2 years and a half to recover and it wasn’t even my fault, I was the passenger taking a ride with a colleague from the ballet company in the day my car was in the mechanic for repair.
I love driving, I rather speed but safely and don’t even have a ticket in my license.

Have you ever been at an earthquake?

 

[iluvtodd]

not guilty (but we did feel a slight tremor about 2 weeks ago) Apparently the tremors were felt across a good bit of the USA's East Coast.

Have you experienced severe damage after a hurricane?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty, no hurricanes here, however we do have typhoons

Have you ever practiced so much that on your weekly vacation from the rink your muscles are so sore, you only want to be in your bed?

 

[iluvtodd]

somewhat guilty (not from skating, but from other intense activities)

Have you ever tried to enter what you thought was your car, but turned out to be someone else's (in a parking lot or on a street)?

Guilty (and what made it worse, there was someone in the passenger seat watching, I didn't see them at first )

Have you ever gone to introduce someone and completely forgotten their name?

Have you ever tried to enter what you thought was your car, but turned out to be someone else's (in a parking lot or on a street)?

Ha, ha, guilty, not only tried but successfully did, twice, parked in a street
Still wonder to this day how on earth it was possible that my keys worked on somebody else's car, the model which was, luckily, pretty rare where I was at the time ... or maybe it was just left open, who knows...

Have you ever tried to enter somebody else's flat you thought was yours?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty, my home/front door is unique and so were other places I've lived at.

Have you ever forgot your guards or other important skating item at the rink, forgot that you had forgotten it there and wasted time at your home looking for it? (And then when you arrived at the rink the next day, the reception's lady returned it to you?)

 

[iluvtodd]

not guilty, but I've forgotten other things when I go to the gym (a towel for swimming, tankini top, etc.)

Have you ever misplaced your keys?

Have you ever misplaced your keys?

Oh how often I have been guilty of that, which is why I have copies at a friends' house, and another friend, and a relatives, and at work when I used to work, and.......

(no I don't hide one around the garden, in a fake rock or whatever, because I would misplace the fake rock.)

Have you ever gotten lost in your own home town/city?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty, thanks to a wonderful invention called GPS, which already existed in cars when I started to drive. My map reading skills are non existent and how anyone drove around unknown locations using a paper map is beyond me and amazes me to just think about it.

Have you ever spend too much time looking for inspirations for figure skating dresses online?

(With a lot of swearing and wrestling of a bleepedly large piece of paper that never folded down again properly. Mind you, GPS like any electronic aid should not be wholly trusted... it blithely sent me over a mountain once. In the sleety snow. On a dirt road.)

Not guilty for actual skating because I spectate rather than skate, but there are a startling number in my odd stuff for fantasy inspiration folder, so basically, yes guilty.

Do you use skaters - or hey, any real people famous or not - for inspiration if you like to write?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Write what? My skating practice? Not guilty, here we carry a notebook in our skating bag where our coaches draw patterns and write what we’re supposed to be practicing, and we can also take notes there etc.
I’ve taken inspiration from my favorite skater for some off ice practice exercises, but didn’t need to write them.

Have you ever given up watching a skating event on television or going to watch it in person because you had practice at that time and you knew if you missed it your coach would be ?

 

[skylark]

not guilty

Do you ever snack at bedtime?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty since it’s not a snack per se. I am a once a day eater and my meal is dinner. I usually go to bed shortly after and usually eat my dessert from bed.

Have you ever skated to a film soundtrack for your program?

 

[iluvtodd]

Not guilty, but I've bought a number of movie soundtracks because of skaters who have skated to them!

Are you an argumentative person?

 

[skylark]

not guilty

Did you have to learn to debate in high school?

 

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

Not guilty (I had no idea one learnt this in school).

Do you make a playlist on Spotify with music you hope to skate to/make a program with it one day?

 

[iluvtodd]

Not guilty

Do you still have a VCR?

 

[Magill]

Sadly, not gui;lty.

Do you (still or again) have analogue records / analogue record player?
