Friday Five Time
These questions were written by apologiesqueen.
1. How many hours a day/night do you usually sleep?
Somewhere around 7 hours total, usually, but it's not consecutive... I'm forever waking up to drink, or am woken by Bella the Night Terror at anywhere between 2-5am for breakfast. No, she does NOT get fed at 2am... but it can take a couple of increasingly vehement rebuttals for her to get the message... Once a week I tend to crash for about 10 hours. I love those days!
2. What do you do when you can't sleep?
When insomnia strikes, I usually get up & head for the computer/music room, check the news sites, see if there's anything to read on DW/LJ, play either a sudoku or solitaire game or 10, then go back to bed & try again
3. How often do you devote time to just thinking about something?
My vindictive brain can decide to devote time exclusively to thinking about something - usually at a time that's pretty inconvenient like when I'm driving somewhere, or trying to fall asleep... at which point, refer to answer no. 2!!
4. If you had to choose one person to never talk to again, who would you choose?
I don't think I have anyone in my personal life at the moment that needs ostracising... & once someone is gone from my life, they're just gone & taken their drama with them so I don't have to think about it any more... There are plenty of public & media figures I wish I never had to listen to ever again, but that would be a long & probably contentious list!!
5. If you had to choose one person, NOT your significant other, who you would speak to every day for the rest of your life, who would you choose?
Apart from Long-Suffering Partner? Nobody... well no one I can think of that I feel the need to speak with every day. In a fantasy world unfettered by timeline or being dead - probably someone like Terry Pratchett, whose humanitarian ideals I admire(d) almost as much as his comic imagination... or Gautama Buddha for the life philosophy without the religious bullshit
