it is strange how loud little sounds become when you are in the dark and doing something wrong

dancing cat
Have you ever danced in front of your mirror?     hasn't everyone?
Have you ever stolen money from a friend?     no!
Have you ever gotten in a car with people you just met?     not since I was in college
Have you ever been in a fistfight?     no, but I slapped someone once—hard
Have you ever snuck out of your house?     the house I grew up in (a single-story ranch in the middle of godforsaken nowhere) was not conducive to sneaking out
Have you ever been arrested?     hmm. What do you think?
Have you ever made out with a stranger?     once...
Have you ever met up with a member of the opposite sex somewhere?     first time I did that was around age 13, at the movies
Have you ever ditched school to do something more fun?     not til college, at which time I gleefully embraced the practice - to my immediate detriment. Stay in school, kids!
Have you ever slept in until 3?     only when I was sick
Have you ever made a snow angel?     all the time as a kid. We were outside from the break of dawn until dark when there was playable snow on the ground. Winter was a blast when I was little.
one idea of dress up
Have you ever played dress up?     not for a few years now. I sometimes miss that life. 
Have you ever fallen asleep at work/school?     while I was in college that happened with regrettable frequency. In my defense, I was taking a full load of classes and also working at least 2 and sometimes 3 jobs while also maintaining a robust social schedule.
Have you ever felt an earthquake?     twice, both while living in the Flatland. That's weird.
