The Friday Five: A Lil' Bit Lifey.

1. If you knew that you had only one day left to live, what would you do for the 24 hours?

In no particular order...

* To be completely predictable, I'd go down my top ten list of men I'd like to sleep with and have (hopefully) the best sex of my life.

* I'd love to meet up with either Don or Ian, (ideally both), and record a few songs I've been working on.

* An emergency colorguard rehearsal would be held, with all of my favorite former students/coworkers in attendance.

* Depending on how quickly I could get a flight, I'd get up to Connecticut and visit all my favorite family spots.

* There would have to be a cat nap with Bean in there somewhere.

* Coffee with my father.

* Watching the sun set/rise somewhere rural.

* A giggle and tear fest with a few women who should know who they are.

* Hip hop class.

* Dinner at Mongolian BBQ in Bethesda with my family and friends.

But the last 2 hours would definitely be spent writing on this blog, reflecting on everything I have been through, and leaving my loved ones with goodbyes and a "will" of sorts.

2. Do you think that life has meaning?

Yes. And if you don't, I feel really sorry for you.

3. What was your favourite childhood toy/object, or some of your favourites?
(Remember childhood according to the United Nations is anywhere from 0-18 years, so this is a fairly broad span of time).

A flag and a rifle. My softball glove. My bazillions of journals and sketchbooks. The camera. Ballet shoes. Messenger bags. All those books. Starlite, my stuffed Rainbow Bright Horse.

4. When you clasp your hands, do you put your right thumb over your left thumb, or your left thumb over your right thumb?

Right over Left.

5. If you had to teach the most ignorant person on earth the most difficult thing you have ever learned, how would you go about doing it?

Figure out the negative pattern you have gotten yourself into, and slowly... count by count. Learn a new dance. One that takes you where you want to go, instead of chasing after things you don't need. Lots of repetition and reinforcement.
