Blog Action Day! And fivers
I'm tired and sick, but the beauty of this LJ is that those of you who read it are a helluvalot smarter than me, so y'all already know the positive steps you can take to make a difference. And most of you have already done so. Carry on. :)
fridayfiver:
1. What's your personal hell?
NOt feeling well. Especially if I'm trapped somewhere and can't get to the comfort of my bed (and my cuppa). *shudders*
2. Do you prefer brightly lit rooms or dim spaces?
Depends on what I'm doing. I like dim spaces when I'm watching tv, bright lights when I'm reading or making anything.
3. What's the weather like today?
Finally starting to feel like Fall! Time to buy the new sweaters I need....
4. Is it easy to be you?
Depends on your tolerance for doctors and meds. No, it's not easy being me, but then I don't think anyone has it easy. But everyone has those moments when things just click in their life, so we've got that going for us.
5. Friday fill-in:
My heaven is in your arms. (Sorry, I've got an 80's music thing in my head right now....)
thefridayfive:
1.If you could go back in time and change anything that has occurred in history, what would you alter and why?
Hitler's conception. For reasons I'd hope would be rather obvious.
2.If your current life was to end today and in the next moment you were born again, where everything was the same as when you were actually born, however, you retained all of what you know from your first life, what would you do differently?
First off, I believe my little infant brain would explode from the info. After that, I'd just make sure to never, never, EVER let any new parents elect to send me to have the surgery that led to the scarring -- and the eventual failing -- of my kidneys. Problemo solved for the next go-round!
3. If you could choose to become someone who has lived or who is living, who would you become and why?
I wouldn't. Okay, maybe I'd just choose to become someone healthier, but why choose to be someone else?
4. What do you feel is the most intense experience that is currently happening or may soon come to happen, that may "affect" our survival and what (if) any changes must occur, to continue our existence here?
The "most intense experience" that's happening? Er, what? I'd say that the thing that most affects our survival would be global warming. Changes that must occur? For the powers that be to pull their heads out of their asses and start to truly do something about it. And for all of us to make little, tiny changes in our lives that could add up to a huge difference if we all threw in. (Note to self: buy those energy efficient bulbs for the vanity today)
5. Recalling your most earliest memories/awareness up to now, during your life so far name one thing that you consider a positive experience involving humanity now then from what you can recall in your earliest memories. Name one negative experience also.
Beautifully written sentence, btw. Sorry -- I get punchy when I'm sick. Anywho:
Positive: One of the earliest memories I have is of hippie flower children walking around DC giving people flowers and making positive-sounding anti-war statements that I can't exactly remember now. I was about two at the time, and thought they were absolutely awesome. I remember looking forward to when I was all grown-up, so I could do that too. Though not so much with the hippie clothes. Well, okay a little hippie....
Negative: 9/11. Sorry, but that kinda eclipses anything and everything that had come before.
