same thing happened when i fell off the sofa the other day.
Tell me:
1. If you could go on vacation anywhere, to do anything, with anyone, what would that vacation look like? Money isn’t an object in terms of this fantasy — it shouldn’t ever be in a fantasy! — but no NASA shuttles, deprivation chambers or trained monkeys, please. Ahem.
2. What would your ideal dinner party look like (venue? menu? attendees?) And would you rather host your own, or attend someone else’s?
3. Create the perfect seven-song mix tape that expresses who you are in musical shorthand. Favorite bands, favorite songs, favorite song concepts, favorite instrument… what’s at the heart of what makes it so “you”?
4. Name the six things that drive you up the wall consistently — and six things that cheer you consistently.
5. Politics, sex, religion, etc.: what four things do YOU wish never came up in conversation?
Feel free to write one of your own on your blog or Tumblr or Posterous… or heck, in lipstick on your bathroom mirror.
