How ARE you?
What are you DOING?
What’s going ON?
I had a friend that would ask these three questions in a frenzied tone every single time he saw me. And he didn’t really want answers. He just used the rapid fire interrogation as a long form of “Hi!”
But me? I WANT TO KNOW.
So…
1. What is your current mood?
2. What are you doing tonight? What do you WISH you were doing?
3. Are you wearing socks? If so, WHY?
4. Tell us three objects in your immediate vicinity.
5. If you could be ANYWHERE doing ANYTHING right this second, what would the plan be (Plan B!)?
6. What is the dominant thought in your head right now?
1. Tired and ready for the weekend, such as it will be.
2. I don’t know yet; it depends on other people’s plans. Possibly celebrating a friend finally completing his multi-year backlog of pilot’s logbook entries.
3. Yes, because I’m wearing boots.

6. What is the dominant thought in your head right now?
Take a wild guess, Meg! :)
1. Subconsciously stressed; cautiously optimistic about the weather. Lacking for any meaningful contact. I’ve been pretty shut-in lately. I barely surf the web anymore. See this? I’m commenting on one of your posts five days later.
So…my mood? “Blah” is the only thing that comes to mind. But I remain hopeful.
2. I went to Target to buy some household items. Came home and remembered I neglected to pick something up. Then I made dinner for myself. Watched The Schmaily Schmow. Colbert is waiting to be watched.
3. Socks? No. My feet would be too warm.
4. A Snoopy, my cell phone, and a can of compressed air.
5. I would be motoring in my MINI, somewhere far away from here, in someplace pretty with my camera in hand.
