Friday 5
From the altfriday5:
1. How mindful (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness) would you say you are in general?
I was born mindful.
2. At what times are you most mindful? When I'm by myself with no or little outer influences. And in large crowds.
3. At what times are you least mindful? When otherwise occupied and overwhelmed with mundane stuff and too much input.
4. Do you do anything specifically to help increase your mindfulness (e.g. meditate)? If yes, what do you do?
Don't have to. My mom does autogenous training to increase the Om and I recommend it to those who have trouble calming their mind.
5. How judgmental would you say you are of your own thoughts and feelings?
Terribly. There's constant analyzing going on - this can be good and bad. Of course 'mindfulness' in itself judges this too which makes it like an internal dialog.

From the fridayfiver:
1. What is your local lake/river/sea?
The Pacific Ocean. Not much in terms of lakes and rivers in the immediate area. It's too dry here and the L.A. River certainly isn't a river to me, haha.
2. Do you believe in dragons and unicorns?
I like dragons as a symbol. Unicorns go with barbies and girly girls and are therefore not for me. Do I "believe" in them? You mean like one would believe in Santa? Um, nooooo?
3. What is your favorite fruit?
Don't make me choose. I like pears, cherries, passionfruit, lychees, pink grapefruit, green apples, mirabelles, dark plums, red currant, blackberries.
4. Do you smoke?
Used to but have long quit, years ago. And what a nasty habit it was. I feel so much better since.
5. Friday fill-in:
Together they would _____ run away.

From the thefridayfive:
1. If you were a fruit, which would you be and why?
A green apple. Sweet & sour all mixed up in one and refreshing.
2. If you wake up and smell smoke, and you have to get everybody (pets included) out of the house safely, but you have time to grab one item, what would you grab?
Photo albums and laptop which has all my digital photos. Okay, that's 2 but pictures are irreplacable.
3. If you were stuck on an island, who would be the one person you would want with you and why?
Excellent question and I would have to think really hard. First thought: My best friend {who's a guy not into the girls}, or my dad. But each would have its downsides. Arrggghhh, I'm too damn analytical. There's never a simple answer.
4. If you could change one thing about your physical appearance, what would it be?
I'd get rid of some weight. Clichee but that's really the main one. Everything else is good enough. :)
5. If you could spend the day with one famous person, dead or alive, who would you choose?
I'd choose my grandmother over anyone famous. I have so much to ask her and so much to tell her.
