I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible

• Most daring dare you have ever done?
  loving someone in the face of good reasons not to
• When is the last time you did something you knew was wrong?
  every damn day I do that. My conscience tells me that it cannot persist much longer.
• What was on your mind most today?
  this quotation--"The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.” [Paulo Coelho, from 'By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept']--and its inspiration
• Have a best friend?
  indeed. I also am a best friend, and not necessarily at the same time. Isn't the world of friendship confusing and amazing all at once?
• If you were upset, who's the first person you would go to?
  depends who and what upset me, I suppose. Lots of times I won't go to anyone at all.
• When was the last time someone yelled at you?
  I'm more of a "yell about" than a "yell at," these days, and that's a sad state of affairs
• What have you done today, so far?
  I: listened to the furnace man run periodic maintenance on the furnace; got out of bed; got ready and went to work; worked (and therein listened to some nagging); came home and played with some sad kitties who saw their doctor today for periodic maintenance; ate delicious dinner with brownies on top; and attempted some serious correspondence, only to be met with a nonfunctional website midway through. That's all, so far.
• What did last weekend consist of?
  preparing for the departure of the housemates, and then watching several movies while reassuring the cats that all was not lost
• What are you listening to?
  "Bad for Me" by Megan & Liz just ended. "Carve Your Heart"--my old standby--by Dashboard Confessional is on now.
• Who were you last in a car with?
  my friend Sara, who is never called Sara
• Have you ever been called cute?
  probably. I'm sure it's been a while.
• Describe how you feel right now in one word:
  pressured
• Has anybody ever told you that you talk too fast?
  no
• Did you have fun yesterday?
  no
• Do you like to cuddle?
  yep, for all the good it does me
• Do you think someone is thinking about you?
  perhaps, though they're keeping it close to the vest if that's the case
• Are you stubborn?
  Hell yeah
• Is there a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or ex that you will never forget?
  I won't forget any of them, such is the state of my memory and personality
• Thinking back, are there people you have no idea why you hung out with?
  no, I'm pretty clear on why I did it
• How's your heart?
  a little extra thumpy, actually. Thanks for asking.
• Are you easily amused?
  I am, and not always at the proper time
• Do you speak more than two languages?
  I do not
• Are you doing anything tonight?
  this, and attempting that important communication once again
• Is there a person of the same sex who means a lot to you?
  there are all sorts of persons who mean a lot to me, of varying definitions of gender
• Is your hair naturally straight?
  my hair is, naturally
• What happened at 10:00 AM?
  just work
• What were you doing at ten last night?
  reading
• Have you made someone happy today?
  I have reason to believe that I did
• Is it hard for you to get over someone?
  that's certainly a theme running through my mind and my writing lately. Yes, it is.
• Think it's disgusting when girls get really wasted?
  it's disgusting when anyone gets really wasted. Men, women, panda bears, robots, imaginary knights, comic book characters....
• How long did it take you to get over your last ex?
  I suppose that remains to be seen
• When you are home alone do you still close the door when you shower?
  I do.

[from The Cat, who got it here; the title quotation is by Paulo Coelho from By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, and reads in its entirety:

“If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.”]
