“I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want, and I will answer truthfully and fully. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this message, and allow your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.”
Up the ante, ask me some thing to challenge me on this long, lonely Friday night.

If you were to somehow lose all of your senses, one at a time, what would you miss most about each sense? What wouldn’t you miss at all?
If you could permanently eliminate one thing from our society, what would it be?
And lastly, ’cause I know you love music… Pick 20-25 songs that would make up the soundtrack of your life.
I would miss reading and seeing natural beauty should I lose sight. I would miss music and hearing my dear friends should my hearing go. I’d miss tasting sweet foods most if my sense of taste were to leave. I’d miss the smell of apples and forests if my sense of scent faded. I’d miss embraces most if my sense of feeling were to go. I think I would miss everything if I could feel nothing. All we sense is important, whether hurt or pleasure.
I’d eliminate selfishness (though not selfcaring, which is quite separate). That’s the key to everything falling into place, is it not?
Oh, this last one will be a challenge… I’ll try to pick ones more in tune with my life of the recent past and going forward, though songs like Collective Soul’s Blame have been important background music for me for many years.

There are so many more, but with only 1/4 of my music collection with me, that will have to do.
1. have you ever felt the desire to smooch on someone of your own sex?
(yes i’m fascinated with this question)
2. have you ever wondered if you might have magical powers?
3. what qualities do you look for in a romantic partner?
(and those are my teenybopperish questions for today)
Honestly, I haven’t. I find some males pleasant enough to look at (i.e. Brian Molko) and some pleasant enough mentally (i.e. the Dalai Lama), but I just don’t have any sort of romantic or sexual attraction to people of my own sex.
I did entertain that notion when I was growing up. I secretly hoped I could turn into flames when I was being bullied as a kid, for instance.
In a romantic partner I look for the same things I look for in a friend, with the addition of physical attraction. Compassion, intelligence, humour, an appreciation for beauty and a fondness for books and music are all high criteria. I do have slight physical preferences that don’t truly dictate whether I’ll like someone, such as my preference for brown and red hair (which I believe I told you about before).
I would detail how his policy is harming people and try my best to alter his course through reason. Hey, it might be futile, but it would be better than just raging at him.
Compassion. It’s the greatest trait anyone could have.
Streetlight, for sure. They’re so very huggable.
That’s on my other hard drive and I can’t think of just one or two songs that would fit.
I can’t say I do. Maybe a top six or seven.
lol I might just need some divine intervention as well. 😉 I mean, he does think God talks to him, afterall.
Yay. At least if either of us reproduce (or adopt) compassion will carry on.
At dawn you have the celestial streetlight of the sun! At night you have the star cousins above the earthly street lights.
Porchlights are a bit jealous of their younger, brighter sibings, but they’re just as important, guiding lights for the homeward-bound. As a song says, “a light that burns twice as bright, lasts just half as long.”
Well, thank you.
