taking a few hours away from busy-ness
Number 7
1. As a child, what was your (or your family's) first pet ever?
- When I was three my parents brought back a puppy from some pound, or kennel or something. We named him Sparky. He was a total mutt, but fabulous, just the best dog, ever.
- 2. What is the scariest movie you ever remember seeing, as a kid?
- My family had cable in the mid 70s, back when HBO was only on fromabout 6pm to midnight. I remember we watched "The Car" and I had nightmares for years. I was something like 5 or 6, and it bothered me until I was at least 12.
- 3. What do you think of long finger nails?
- They only look good if they are real, and even then there is a limit to length.
- 4. If you had to go and look for a new job today, what would you be looking for?
- Since I am looking for a new job today, and this is part of the reason that I haven't posted in so long........sigh, I don't know. Apparently something in the wine industry. Failing that, I had a great interview for installing POS systems for restaurants.
- 5. What was the first country outside of the United States of America that you travelled to, and why?
- I met a totally hot British guy here in Seattle, and about 6 months later, I used my student aid check to buy a ticket to the U.K. I had a great time, and never got the guy.
Number 9
1. What was the first computer system you remember using?
- 2. What chore did you have to do as a kid, that you loathed?
- 3. Do you have any OCD traits?
- 4. Since this is the reason that we are friends, how did you find Freeverse?
- 5. Online dating, pro or con?
Number 10
1. If you could instantly change ONE thing in your present life what would that be?
- Cheeerist, there's so many things right now. However, if I had to choose one, I would choose something that isn't instantly changeable. I mean, you can always change jobs, you can paint your house, you can even pull up trees and bushes you dislike. So, I guess I would choose to be wealthy. Not sickeningly, disgustingly wealthy. Comfortably wealthy.........where you can choose what charities you donate to, and you can travel where and when you want.
- 2. Which personality trait most hinders you?
- My weight? Maybe my habit of saying what's on my mind.
- 3. What's your best personality trait?
- I am charming and funny. Extremely social. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
- 4. What is your personal [inner] refuge? IOW, don't name a [external] person that you take refuge in, no matter how true.
- Heh, I just had to ask someone what IOW meant and now I feel completely retarded. Let me see.......my personal inner refuge, I consistently have conversations in my head with myself. However that tends to make me more confused than ever so that can't be it. Reading, or taking a bath is a good way to distract myself from the outside.
- 5. What do you have faith in?
- I have faith in myself (usually, unless I don't and that's just when I am really depressed). I guess I believe that what you toss out into the world is definitely going to come back to you. So if you spew crap and bullshit, you're in trouble. Therefore, just be true to yourself and others, and you should be fine.
