DIY Meme

1. Would you rather have every traffic light turn green or always get the best parking spot? (Kwizgiver) I don't drive so I don't care about parking spaces. But I'm usually late, whether in a rideshare or on a bus or on foot, so I'm a fan of green lights.

2. What's the most difficult thing you have ever done? (Gold in the Clouds) Said goodbye to my two of my closest friends within months back in 2024. Death is a bitch. It's not negotiable. I have found going on after losing John and Henry is the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm not sure I'm through it yet.

3. What information do you know that you are proud of/happy about, but others say, "Who cares?" (Roger) I once won a trivia contest – completely without cell phone or Google – for knowing Elizabeth Taylor's full name was Elizabeth Rosamond Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Warner Fortensky.* It was at a rib joint, so my friend John and I got a break on our bill because of this incredibly trivial trivia knowledge.

4. What mystery do you wish you knew the answer to? (Myra/Mevely) Why do bad things have to happen? Fortunately I'm a Christian and I know that when I get to Heaven I will get the answer.

5. What small, ordinary thing brings you disproportionate joy? (Country Dew) My morning shower. Washing my hair and scrubbing my face while listening to my shower radio gets my day off to a great start.

6. What time do you go to sleep/wake up?  (Annie) Whenever. I'm no longer a desk jockey who is a slave to a train schedule.

7. What is your favorite sleeping position? (Lisa) On my left side.

8. Describe your personal Utopia. (Pandora) Listening to the Beatles while eating cheesecake with strawberries and drinking icy cold Coke. 

9. Imagine that you have a machine that can create any new invention for you based on your description. What you ask the machine to create, and why? (Plastic Mancunian) I'm on the top floor. The laundry room is in the basement. The elevator is not convenient and it's incredibly dispiriting to haul my clothes and detergent and fabric softener down there only to find no washers or dryers open. If there was a way I could know that the machines are available for use, I would be eternally grateful.

*I actually said "Burton" twice since they married and divorced twice, but the judge said it wasn't necessary.
