finally, the weather seems to have almost caught on to the fact that it’s damn near winter officially and that the 60-degree days are confusing in december. not that i mind them necessarily, i just hope it’s not mother nature’s way of getting us all to let down our guard and then hosing us so spectacularly.
meh.
holiday parties are already in swing, christmas is looming on the horizon (i’m so woefully unprepared for it) and the year is rapidly coming to a close.
i’m not entirely certain i have complete & utter disdain for ’06 but i definitely have not been a fan of certain parts of it. i dunno, i guess we’ll see on new years, ya know?
i still can’t believe how fast it’s all happening. everything is changing almost faster than i could dare to keep up.
- Obligatory Filler
- What (aside from the obvious year round tanning or novelty of seeing snow) would really appeal to you about living in a climate opposite to the one you’re used to?
oh how i long for my island of poolboys…but really, i’m not sure i want a tropical climate…just something temperate. that makes a world of difference, you now. and i’d like to not be constantly slogged down by humidity all the freaking time. it makes things so difficult. - What would you be most curious about experiencing if you were able to spend one day as the opposite gender?
honestly? if i could be a guy the first thing i’d do is pee my name into something. then i’d run around topless, just cuz i could. then, i would want to have sex. seriously, i know what it’s like for a girl…but i’d be lying if i said i don’t wanna know what it’s like for a guy. - Would you be able to spend a fixed length of time (such as a month or a year) completely immersed in a culture which did not include the comforts that you’re used to?
oh totally. i would love to shuck it all and head out to some remote village, distant mountaintop or isolated island and just be. - Do you think you would find it easier to deal with being unusually short, or with being unusually tall?
easier with being unusually tall…because i am short, and the shorter you are the harder it is to do day to day things. driving, getting shit out of shelves, etc. and you’re midget-like…etc. eeep! - If you had the opportunity to spend a month living in the shoes of someone that you either don’t like or don’t respect, just to see if you could gain a better understanding of why they are the way that they are, would you take it? Conversely, if you had the opportunity to put someone of this nature in your shoes for a month for the same reason, would you take it? Feel free to elaborate on why your chose your answers and what person comes to mind when faced with this scenario.
hmmm, that’s an interesting one. people i don’t like or don’t respect would be tough to choose. maybe i’d pick someone in a position of power and try and see if i could make some changes as “them”. i don’t know that it would really enlighten me as to what their situation is, though. because there’s only so much a person can do to redeem themselves, only so much that is a result of circumstance compared to direct responsibility. if i could put someone in my shoes for a month…i don’t know. i mean, i have a lot of things hard, but a lot of things better than some people. maybe i’d pick someone with enough objectivity to look at my life, live it as me and then offer some helpful insight.
