A cat-sized dog (12 pounds) - a cocker spaniel/poodle mix, back before it was fashionable to create "designer breeds".

My first pet lived in my house before I did. My oldest sister got her from the pound.
To answer sterre's question, I won that particular trophy in the silver sun showdown. It's nowhere near the biggest trophy, but I think its my second-hardest won.
Do you compete in tournaments, and if so, what divisions?

I "came out of retirement" to spar in local TKD touraments to build up brownie points toward my HKD promotion and to inspire lower belts in our HKD dojang.
Even though I have been eligible for the "senior division" (age 35 and older), I have opted to compete with the young bucks.
At my ability level it's more fun. Also, our local TKD blackbelts needed somebody to raise the bar. They were getting sloppy and lazy.
I also compete in board breaking on occasion and even go out and do a poomse sometimes, although my form is not nearly as crisp and snappy as it was when I was active in TKD.
I also compete in "hapkido form" in which 10 techniques are performed. I usually compete as someone's "uke" but occasionally play "tori."
What is your favorite martial art technique to use in a tournament?

Because you are procrastinating and putting off the inevitable.
So...get off the computer and do your homework, young lady!
Why are kids so eager to grow up, when adulthood is often far from a walk in the park?

because now we have cars to get us there.
no you should not hire a cleaning lady. learn the wonders of coffee instead.
Should I write a essay on a kansas school requiring drug tests for any school activity or on a school shooting injuring ninteen at college?

Eew, no... among other reasons, the cleaning lady is cheaper than coffee... think about that for a minute!
I vote for the drug tests; I think it would be a more interesting paper, and easier to voice opinions on from both sides.

okay I did that. you forgot to ask a question so:what was the question you would have asked if you hadn't fogotten?
LOL - Sterre, when I said that adulthood isn't always "a walk in the park", it was a way of saying that adulthood isn't always easy.
Since Karen forgot to ask a question...what is the riskiest thing you have ever done?

the dumbest thing I've done: was in high school. I was sick and had a test for my driver ed. class. A question was asked: how long does a traffic light last? I read it as instead: how does a traffic light work (roughly)? It was early in the morning, and I was sick. Yes- I did answer it the way I originally read it. The instructor must've thought I was nuts! For something funnier, you have to ask my boyfriend!

In my spare time, I: read, watch tv, listen to music, play guitar, watch DVDs, play video/computer games and go online. Just not all at once!
My question:
What do you do when your martial arts class is cancelled?
Well, since my class is usually only cancelled when the weather is really bad... I generally curl up with a blanket, a book, some hot chocolate, and a warm, cuddly dog.
If you could have any pet you wanted, other than a dog or cat, what would you choose?
