Sunday Stealing Works Through It

 It's Sunday and as I lost yesterday to a quick trip over to Adelaide, I'm going to make this a quick one. Too much to do here today before tomorrow, when I have a job to go to and work to do.

So here are this week's questions, supplied, as always, by Sunday Stealing. 

1. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

I would be a well-loved house cat. What a life. I've always said I'd like to come back as a well-loved, well-fed, happily fulfilled cat. They really have a good life. They want for nothing. 

2. Are you generous?

Yes. 

3. Of the following, which consistently gives you the most pleasure: a) music, b) money, c) books, d) science, e) spirituality, f) food and wine, g) movies?

I have to say that money give me the opportunity to enjoy music, books, spirituality, food, wine (well gin) and movies. 

I get the most pleasure out of books and movies, but spirituality, music and food also give me a great amount of pleasure. 

4. Describe your dancing ability.

I dance like your average household refrigerator. Nuff said. 

5. What do you think your worst enemy really thinks of you?

I have no idea. I reckon you have no business what other people think of you - that all leads to pain and suffering on your side. If anything, I hope my enemy had no idea what I was thinking. That would be good. 

6. Can you tell when someone is lying to you?

Most of the time, yes. I've got a pretty well-tuned bullshit meter. 

7. Describe how it feels to fall in love.

Really, I have no idea. 

And I think it is different every time you fall in love. 

Sometimes, it's an instant twist of the heart. You have no idea what has hit you, other than you have feelings for this person and there it is. 

Other times, it's a slow building of feelings. 

I've had both happen. I just know it's different under every circumstance - except when you adopt a new pet. They walk into your heart, and you are stuck with them. 

8. In deadly peril, what three people would you want in a foxhole with you?

Oh, please give me somebody who's a crack shot, a doctor, or somebody who has medical training. The last one should be somebody who's funny so that you can entertain each other. 

9. What is your greatest weakness?

Probably procrastinating. I'm really good at procrastinating, much to my detriment. 

10. If you were to live out the rest of your life as your favorite fictional character, which would you choose?

I have so many favorite fictional characters. The romantic in me would love to be Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. I wouldn't mind being Richard from The Secret History, as I like a good mystery. Or Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. Or Alma from The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, because she's awesome. Or Lyra from the Philip Pullman books (The Golden Compass, Northern Lights and The Subtle Knife). 

So many books. So many alternative lives.
