23 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
I found this first on Cindra's Red & Purple Haze, and then later on Sallie's At The Heart Of It. Here's my contribution:
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says: ìThe first and most important thing you need to know about your critic is that no matter how distorted and false his attacks may be, he is almost always believed.î (From McKayís and Fanningís Self Esteem: A proven program of cognitive techniques for assessing, improving, and maintaining your self-esteem)
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? A big comfy 22î x 34î pillow.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV? Arrested Development, last night on Fox. If you havenít seen this show, you should. The writing and acting are both terrific!
4. WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is: 4:28
5. Now look at the clock; what is the actual time? 4:32
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? A bird chirping, which is a bit odd because the Sunís not even up yet.
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? Yesterday afternoon, in search of food.
8. Before you came to this website, what did you look at? Not really sure what to make of this question, aside from the fact that the person who originally posted this series of questions on her/his website is directing me to answer as if I were leaving a comment on his or her site. Not the case, so I canít really answer this one.
9. What are you wearing? Boxers (oxford blue) and a T-shirt (white).
10. Did you dream last night? YesÖ I had a dream about a friend back in Colorado who will celebrate her 29th birthday tomorrow.
11. When did you last laugh? Really laughedÖ Saturday afternoon while walking along the Canal in downtown Indy with LeighÖ we were quoting lines from Seinfeld. Sort of laughedÖ a few minutes ago when I answered question number one in this series (it was more like a chuckle but had laugh characteristics, so itís sort of the same, and I chuckled because of what it revealed about myself).
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? A painted cow skull and an original Eden Folwell acrylic on canvas titled ìtis better to give then to receive.î
13. Seen anything weird lately? Yesterday afternoon I watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie, Total Recall.
14. What do you think of this quiz? Very Swedish!
15. What is the last film you saw? Total Recall (on TV yesterday afternoon), and Hidalgo (in the theater a few weeks ago).
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? A new home for my Mother.
17. Tell me something about you that I donít know. I like to dance!
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? I would do something to eliminate ignorance (because it would solve so many other problems).
19. Do you like to dance? I do, but in the past I've been too self-conscious to do so in front of anyone.
20. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years? I donít think George W. Bush is power-crazy. He has had power at his disposal his entire life, so he doesnít necessarily fit the mold of someone who is power-crazy, per se. Heís not a nutcase, but thatís not to say that I think heís 'crazy like a fox' either. Doing something that needed to be done for yearsÖ Nope; not buying that one, either. Simply stated, I think he's seriously misinformed, as well as seriously missing some brain cells.
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? The second love of my life.
22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? The third love of my life.
23. Would you ever consider living abroad? Yes... I think it'd be fun, for a while at least.
