Thoughtful

If you could spend the day doing absolutely anything, with anyone, anywhere, what would it be?
I would like to go horseback riding on a beach somewhere. Alan could come, but only if he doesn’t whine. LOL

If I were to ask you how you were doing, and you were only able to answer with complete honesty, what would your answer be?
I’m generally very well. I’m a little tired (it’s late) and the move has me feeling a little tense but also a little bereft. Still. I’m excited too.

What is the one thing that you have been avoiding that you should do?
Getting the house really organized before the big move. I’m such a procrastinator.

Is there anything you wish you could take back?
Yeah, I guess. But there are more things that I wish I’d done when I had the chance, to hell with the consequences.

What, in your mind, could make you truly happy?
I am truly happy.

If you could change one conversation in your life, what would you say differently?
When Dave wanted to break up the first time, I wouldn’t waste my breath trying to get him back. I’d have my cry and move on.

What do you deny yourself?

Vitamins and minerals. I’ve been eating very badly since I finished with work.

If people were to see you exactly for everything that you truly are, what would happen? (And who would love you anyways?)
I think the person I put out there is the real me. Whether people see me as I see myself, I don’t know. But I’m open and honest with my friends and family. I see no real need for pretense.

What is your favorite sensation?
The breathless, fluttering anticipation of  kiss.

Have you ever done anything with your entire heart and soul?
Cried.

If you had the knowledge of the ages, what would you do with it?
I think I would keep it very quietly to myself. Infinite wisdom is no substitute for personal experience. Tell a man there are billions of stars in the sky and he’ll believe you, but show him a wet paint sign and he has to touch it for himself.

If you could walk in someone else’s shoes for a day, how expensive would they be?
I wouldn’t mind walking in Obama’s shoes… just to know what it’s like to wear the weight of the world on your shoulders. What kind of shoes does he wear, anyway?

What song, or album, or singer, or band has changed your life more than any other?
The Norwalk High School Marching Bears.

If you could see your future, would you look?
Yes, because I assume it means a fixed moment in time, like seeing myself in a house on the beach when I’m 80, surrounded by children. How I got there would still be a surprise.

If you could keep one material item for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I’m not sure there’s anything I really would keep.

What day would you go back to, if you could?
Senior Prom… I wouldn’t spend half the night crying in the bathroom this time. LOL!

What was the worst day(s) or moment(s) of your life?
The day we had my cat Liza put to sleep. I still cry and it was 7 years ago.

What was the best day(s) or moment(s) of your life?
I can’t pick just one! I can think of so many great times.

Who has hurt you more than anyone else in your lifetime?
Myself. Or my father. He and I are just too much alike sometimes.
