When did you last sing to yourself?
I probably sing with whatever music is on when I'm by myself, though it's not a conscious decision. I was wandering around Apple Music yesterday and got stuck in the early 80s...
If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know?
how best to resolve my finances
What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
not sure yet. It may be in the works, still.
What is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?
it relates to a cat being happy to see me
If you knew that in one year you would die, would you change anything about the way you are now living?
I don't think so. I'm pretty satisfied with how I'm handling it all. (An object lesson in the difference between "satisfied" and "happy".)
Do you have a bucket list? If so, what are the top three things?
no list. Wing it.
Do you feel you had a happy childhood?
yes. It's more complicated than it seemed at the time, obviously, but overall it was very good.
When did you last cry in front of another person?
with my chiropractor. She's easy to talk to.
Pick a person to stargaze with you and explain why you picked them.
I don't think there is anyone in my life right now who is a stargaze-with sort of person. It calls for some interest and prehaps knowledge in the subject, a facility for staying up late, and a quiet soul--the ability to lie back and lose oneself in it, without fidgeting.
Would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them?
I did that in my 30s while I was trying to sort out my life. It didn't help.
When was your last 3am conversation with someone, and who were they to you?
it was with my ex BF, who had come home early from an event. I had been asleep for hours. We mumbled a bit as he settled in after a long drive, and then fell asleep. That's the best conversation to have, especially at 3:AM.
If you were about to die, and you could only say one more sentence to one person, what would you say and to whom?
I wouldn't say a thing--but I know who I'd want to hug
What is your opinion on brown eyes?
they are at least as attractive as any other color
What would you title the autobiography of your life so far?
"Autobiography of My Life So Far," though that's a little longer than my preference for titles. My library experience tells me that titles should be short, not involve any hard-to-spell words, and ought to avoid the leading article (a, an, the) wherever possible.
What would you do with one billion dollars?
pay bills and get some massages
Are you a very forgiving person? Do you like being this way?
I can be, though for every person I've forgiven too easily, there's someone I've cut off without looking back. I wouldn't say that I like being this way, but it makes sense.
Write a hundred word letter to your twelve year old self.
ah, no. I wouldn't have listened.
Would you describe yourself as more punk or pastel?
pastel on the outside, punk on the inside
[from here; the title quotation is by Rainer Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet]
