1. What internet activity tends to drag you down the wormhole (endlessly clicking through photo albums on Facebook, daisy-chaining weird Wikipedia entries, reading about gadgets, celebrity gossip, price-checking on shopping websites)?

2. What one thing do you do every single week to maintain your sanity?

3. What is your favourite kind of weather?

4. Tell me all about your perfect fall day: where do you go? Who are you with? What do you eat? Extra points for detail (although I don’t know what you’ll do with those points.)

5. If I went into your closet and stole one item of clothing, which theft would make you cry?

6. Dedicate a song to someone!

It’s no secret that this week has sucked for me rather extraordinarily, which coincides nicely with Gradon’s month and a bit of suck.

Everyone is facing economic crunches and layoffs and difficult times, but when it happens to both sides of a couple (well, 100% and 40%, respectively)? And when that couple is 3,000 miles apart? And when they have not seen one another in four months and have two more to go, now? And when money does not, in fact grow on the trees? And when there is no end in sight?

Sigh. I’ve woken up nauseous and exhausted almost every morning, and finally. feel. like. all. of. this. is. just. too. much.

So indulge me in a little bit of imagination…

1. If you could choose every element of your day tomorrow to be UTTER perfection (location, company, menu, outfit, vehicle, what have you…), tell me how it would go.

2. What five-song playlist could you create that would send you flying with joy into the weekend?

3. What five things are you thankful for right now?

4. What five things do you wish would happen next week?

5. Give me your five favourite words.

6. If this was a radio station, and you were calling in to request and dedicate a song to someone, what would it be, and who would you send that shout out to?

GO!
