it's always our self we find in the sea

March 3: spelunker

After last weekend's spelunking exploits--seeking furniture and nonsense in the lands east of here--it's good to have a couple of days with nothing to do but rest and relax.

1. Of the five weekdays, which is the easiest to get through?
   this is probably going to sound a little crazy, but the fourth Friday of the month is the best day. The first Friday isn't bad either, but it has a specific reason for less appeal. Beyond that, I guess Tuesdays are all right.
2. Which of the five little piggies is the most bizarrely characterized?
   
   welllllll, I can identify with the needs to go to market periodically, and of course to stay home. Roast beast is awesome, and lack of same leads us only to market again. But this "wee wee wee" thing? That seems strange to me.
3. Of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood, from which do you draw your power?
   
   I am water, and I'm attracted to fire.
4. Haribo Gummy Bears come in five flavors: pineapple (white), strawberry (green), raspberry (red), lemon (yellow) and orange (orange). Which is your favorite?
   
   white, by far. Red is a distant second. It's been a long time since I've had them, though--since The 8-Pound Bag Of Doom....
5. Which of the five basic tastes (sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and savoriness) best describes your personality?
   
   savoriness, I imagine? Not typically craved, not usually repellent.
