Sunday Stealing: The Majorly Personal Meme, Part One
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Are you happier now than you were five months ago? Healthier, certainly. Happier? I guess so. Feeling better physically contributes to being happier.
2. Have you ever slept in the same bed with anyone that you shouldn't have? Oh, yes.
3. Can you sleep in total darkness? Yes.
4. Your phone is ringing. It’s the person you fell hardest for, the one who got away, what do you say? "I hope you're happy." Because of what I learned recently, that's not a question asked lightly.
5. What do you think about the weather this summer? Too freaking hot.
6. How many people do you trust with everything? I don't trust anyone with absolutely everything.
7. What was the last thing you drank? Classic Coke.
8. Is there anyone you want to come see you? I always want to see my best friend.
9. Name one thing you love about winter? Holiday lights brightening the city. What a nice thought on a sticky summer day!
10. Have you ever dated a Goth? No. I'm over 50. Dating a Goth would be pathetic.
11. What are you looking forward to tomorrow? I'm writing this on Saturday night, so on Sunday I'm looking forward to working out. It'll feel good to get this old heart of mine racing again!
12. Name something you dislike about the day you’re having? It's too freaking hot.
13. What's the longest that you have committed to one person and one person only? Six years.
14. What’s the first thing you did when you opened your eyes today? Tried to remember if it was the weekend, so I could decide whether I had to leap out of bed or just the waking up process unfold naturally.
15. Has anyone ever told you they never want to ever lose you? Yes.
16. Is there anybody that you wish you could fix your relationship with? Yes. I'm far from perfect as a friend or as a romantic partner.
17. Could you go out in public, looking like you do now? Yes. But to borrow from Jurassic Park, just because I can doesn't mean I should.
18. Do you think things will change in the next 3 months? How? Define "things." Do you mean national, international, professional or interpersonal situations? Yes, some "things" will definitely change in the next 3 months. Personally, I'd like to be less fat and less broke.
19. Do you believe that you never know what you got until you lose it? I think that's often true. "We take paradise and put up a parking lot."
20. Do you have a friend of the opposite sex you can talk to? Yes. My best friend. All this talk of him this meme inspires me to shoot him an email. Gotta run!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Good answers. The last thing I drank was a Coke too. The question about not knowing what you've got until it's gone reminded me of the Joni Mitchell song too (though I was too lazy to mention it on my blog). Hope the weather's cooled down for you soon. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers!
ReplyDeleteSleeping in darkness is out of question for me.
Have a great Sunday!

Glad you're happier, too. Great Jurassic Park quote. I'll have to remember it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed the post on your ex. It was a sad story. I hope that you are wrong, too. You really are a terrific writer. I read it to my lady as she was doing something in the kitchen. She was as moved as I was...
