I'm pretty sure at one point when I was a kid, I had a sustained 105 fever. I definitely remember Hospital. Recently though, the last one was somewhere around 99. I usually run a little cold.
Don't recall any hallucinations, though. Migrane auras, yes, full-blown hallucinations, no.
Same question:

I'm certain I've had some doozies, but the fever I remember was in my adulthood. I had been running a 102ish fever all day. It broke right around the same time I vomited cranberry juice all over the livingroom. All. Over. Thank god I didn't have carpeting…
New question
What did you look like as a little kid?
My aunt and mom recently sent me scanned photos from my childhood and teen years. So funny. I love this one: the littlest cosplayer. I was maybe 10 or 11 months in this photo.

I'm a grouchy old lady with a fancy phone and a knitting habit.

Had trouble finding photos of myself. (Found plenty of when I was in 3rd grade. Holy crap, I was a dork!) But here I am at five months old.

Lemme put it to you this way: If you saw me NOW, took off all my facial hair, gave me slightly thick-rimmed glasses, and buzzed my hair (which I had to do a couple months back do to a self-inflicted trimming faux pas), I'd look exactly like I did in my third grade photo. All I'd be missing is a big, stupid smile (that my Mom criticized, even though SHE told me to smile big!).
New Question: What is your favorite quote (or one of many) from any book, movie, or TV show? And if it so happens, ads are also applicable.
Of the many, one of mine would be:
"DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!" – Max from Sam & Max: Freelance Police

I gotta say, I loves me some Stargate SG-1… silly show that it was, it had some great bits:
(Jack's tied to a wall in a rather ominous-looking torture chamber, and Ba'al is idly fingering his torture devices)
Ba'al: I am Ba'al.
Jack: That's it? Just "Ball"? As in Bocce?
And again!

That was a good show. Another quote from there:

You have to love a book that starts like that, especially since it usually IS his fault.

I'm sure everyone knows what movie this quote is from…
E: "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
J: "Hit it."
(Just in case someone hasn't seen it: The Blues Brothers)

I remember when my brother and I would go on road trips (to comic conventions), he'd quote Elwood, and if I flubbed Jake's line (which happened more than once), I'd get chastized for it.
Carry on…

oh, if you want to go video game quotes…
""My buddy Keith tried camping out on top of a building once. He was shooting crows, but the police were too busy tear gassin' him to ask what he was doin' up there. He screamed for an entire year every single time when he opened his eyes! Oh man! At first it was funny, then it just got sad, but then it got funny again! Oh man!""
I ever tell you about the time me and Keith made a homemade bumper car ride with ridin' mowers in his backyard? Mower blade wounds over 90% of his body. I didn't run him over either, he somehow managed to fall under his own."
"I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith drowned in the tunnel of love? You wouldn't think it could happen cause the water's so shallow, but that's how it gets you man. Overconfidence. Keith was with his lady at the time, and he was yellin' for her to save him, but she didn't want to get wet."
"I ever tell you about the time me and Keith snuck a paintball gun on a roller coaster? I never heard'a anybody else doin' it, so I thought we might'a invented a sport, so Keith called the patent office, but–"
"I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith fell out the roller coaster? Yeah he didn't drop far, mind you, just onto the tracks, but the carnival people wouldn't stop the ride 'cause all the other people paid good money and Keith snuck on for free, so he had to dodge for like twenty minutes or so."
"I ever tell you about the time Keith and I made fireworks? Now, I didn't know shit about chemistry, but Keith figured, "Gasoline burns, doesn't it?" Third degree burns on ninety-five percent of his body. Man, people in the next city over were calling to complain about the smell of burning skin."
"I ever tell you about the time Keith tried to deep fry a turkey? Third degree burns over ninety percent of his body. His doctor called up, like, other doctors to look at him cause they'd never seen burns on top of existing burns–"
"Man, all this mud reminds me of my friend Keith. Yeah, he was goin' to build a shack once, to live in and all, and I know most people here, they build houses and they become shacks, but Keith, he was about jumpin' right to the shack stage. But he had no wood. So he got some mud and was makin' what we were all thinkin' was gonna be these adobe bricks, you know, like when them people out west made bricks and shit? Well, he had mud and…"
"I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith got rolled by a 'gator in a swamp? Man he didn't agonize it or nothin', we were just tryin' to grab two so we could piss 'em off and get 'em into a fight. Well anyway the third time Keith went under I realized something was wrong so I–"
"I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith drove his car off a cliff, broke both his legs? It's not a funny ha-ha story so much as a make-you-think story. For instance: windshields look pretty durable, right? Not the case, according to Keith. Son of a bitch flew right through that sucker–"
Ellis Left 4 Dead 2
now i know movie and game quotes can keep going for a number of pages, so ya gotta head them off before they get to that stage. Do you fit the stereotype of your astrological sign?

To some degree. I'm a Leo. I once had a girl tell me I was "more of an Aries" and that it must be my sun sign, or something like that. I don't really follow astrology, so it was a "nod-and-smile" moment.
Weirdest way someone has described you? (Mine is above)

Oddest one I can think of offhand was way back in the 90's, when I had long hair and was really bad (as opposed to just plain ordinary bad) at growing facial hair, a girl once said to me with complete sincerity "You look just like Kurt Cobain."
I so totally did not, but she wanted to make out with me, so I was willing to humour her

When I was in…maybe middle school, my brother told me that one of his classmates saw me and referred to me as a "cute little butterball".
Yeah…that didn't feel like a back-handed remark AT ALL.
New question: Given that April Fools was not long ago, what was the funniest prank you ever pulled?
Technically, the ONLY prank I ever pulled was disguising my voice when calling a mentally unsound ex-friend of mine a long time ago. I told him I was Satan, and that I reserved a space for him in Hell. It was really awkward since his Mom answered the phone first, so I had to lie and say I wasn't who she (accurately) assumed it was. The impression wasn't until HE picked up the phone, naturally.

Funniest april fool joke? Well there was this girl in High school who thought she was the Gods' gift to humanity (males in particular). Well I told her that the baseball captain was looking for a date to the prom, but he was kinda shy around attractive women. Alas, I forgot to mention that A) he was gay, B) he was a nerd, a group whom she loved to pick on C) DISPISED people who tried to boost themselves at the expense of others, and D) was my closest friend.
Ok, It may have been mean, but I sure found it funny!
What's your favorite book?

Tie between "The Princess Bride" and "A Tale of Two Cities". I read each of them at least once a year.
Same question!
