(Questions pinched from the Guardian)
You could still learn to cook! I feel as though the falling chimney deserves its own blog post.
ReplyDeleteBijoux: Okay, I'll return to the falling chimney.
DeleteI second a post re the falling chimney.
ReplyDeleteFly: I'll see what I can do.
DeleteI jilted a fellow once. Still embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteJoanne: I suspect that was a very long time ago. No need to be embarrassed any more!
DeleteJust a few:
ReplyDeleteHappiest? I agree
Aging? Again, I agree
Three words? Introvert, overweight, intimidating (on the last, that's not how I see myself but rather how others have according to my daughters)
Fame or anonymity? I agree. Because of administering of and posting in a local grassroots Facebook group, a lot of people, including some local officials and a former attorney general of the state of Arkansas, know who I am. It's disconcerting, especially during political campaign season, to have people I don't know seek me out and strike up a conversation.
Mike: It's possible to seem intimidating just because you're big or tall or self-possessed. Not much you can do about that! Yes, it must be very disconcerting to have complete strangers act as if you're a bosom pal.
DeleteI would like the superpower of being invisible at the flick of a switch. Imagine the things you could do! The conversations you could hear, and the wars you could end!

Ms Scarlet: But if you were invisible, people would keep bumping into you. Nice idea, though.
DeleteInteresting. You have inspired me to write a post on the same questions. Should go live soon.
ReplyDeleteRamana: What fun! I look forward to your post.
DeleteMary: I don't mind wasps and bees. They're not as unnerving as creepy-crawlies. I'm glad cockroaches aren't common in the UK.
