Memeage from Kim

Alright. So my friend Kim of The Life of KimHo posted something of this nature on her blogoriffic blog a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to include myself in this life-changing venture. That’s right, she’s starting a cult….OR….she posted a meme. You decide.

“Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.” I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate/difficult! You WILL update your journal/blog/whatever with the answers to the questions (please don’t leave your answers in my comments unless you don’t have a blog). You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.”

1. If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
If I could chose any superpower, it would definitely be flying, but not for the traditional reasons (you know, saving money on airfare, skipping traffic, etc). No sir. I want to fly, so I can find a nice little spot in the sky, maybe atop the tallest mountain or the tallest building, to sit back and relax. And plus….I’d like to mess with people on airplanes.
2. Who was your ultimate Teen Beat crush?
Alicia Silverstone…..all the way. Back in the day…she was hoooooooot. She still is, but my crushes these days are more along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Reese Whitherspoon,.
3. What is one thing/event in your life that you wish you could go back and change?
Hrm. That’s a tough one. I try to live my life (now) without regret, but I do have quite a few things I would go back and change, if I could. If I had to pick one (that I wouldn’t mind mentioning on here), I would have to say…(drum roll please…..)…credit cards. I would have never applied for one, and I certainly would have never charged anything to one. I get 4-5 credit card offers per day, which really increases my chances for running out of room in the trash before the trash guy comes every week. OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!
4. Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
My mom….hands down. She somehow managed to raise two kids, in the midst of a divorce, while getting her college education and making minimum wage at the university bookstore. I have no idea how she did it, but I admire her for it.
5. What came first...the chicken or the egg?
The egg. “Why?” you ask. The genetic makeup of a chicken could not have first existed except as an embryo inside an egg. The egg may have been somewhat different that the eggs we see today, but the chicken was first an embryo, protected by some sort of shell-like surface, and incubated by manbearpig.

Theiving

It's funny how music shapes different periods of your life. I've been feeling quite lonely this evening....and I'm not sure why.

Things are good, but tonight was just one of those nights (I get emotional sometimes...no seriously...I do). I got the new Lovedrug CD. Something about the songs they sing have the capability to completely change my thought process....my mood...everything.

There's one song imparticular on the new one....Theiving. It....well....it makes me believe in love again.

Something is different today. Something changed.

I'll figure it out soon, and when I do, I'm sure I'll have another "one of those nights" to bask in the glory of "figuring it out."

I know this sounds weird, but....I think I think too much.

I'm a deep thinker these days...I'm always thinking about this or that. It's rare that I have a moment to just clear my thoughts and relax. Thinking is a good thing. God gave us powerful minds, so we could use them, right? Well, maybe that's why I've slept so well lately.

Sleep is the only time my mind gets a chance to "relax."

I used to always say that sometimes, our intellect can be our worst enemy. Enemy may not be the best word for mine, but it definitely wears me out.

Okay...time for bed. I need a break.
