Patrick's Place-Saturday Six

Saturday Six - Episode 8 

1. If you knew that NO ONE would EVER read your journal...NO ONE, EVER...would you continue writing as is, write more, write less, or pull the plug?

Answer-I think I'd continue writing as is....just because I like to write and I believe it's the only thing keeping me sane at the moment.  In fact, I've got some hand written journals that I hope NO ONE ever reads.  Not because there's anything THAT exciting inside, but because I wrote them back then (so long ago that they are probably pretty juvenile sounding) for me for therapeutic reasons.

2. Give the link of the entry in your journal of which you are most proud, and explain why it makes you proud.

Answer-Life (?) for Bill is an entry, actually a total of four entries, in which I wrote about a man who was hospitalized next to Papa recently.  It details what I saw and felt, seeing this once accomplished man reduced to helplessness and experiencing shabby care.  I guess I am proud because it just flowed as I wrote it, since his situation really touched my heart.  (((Bill)))

3. If you HAD to get one or the other, would you rather get a tattoo or a piercing, and where would it go?  (You cannot count one that you already have.)

Answer-I've always prided myself on NOT getting a tattoo, especially when they became so fashionable.  And...I still only have one pierced hole in each ear.  They are enough hassle, so I doubt that I'd ever get any more holes in my ears that would require earrings and care to keep them from closing. 

Sooo, I guess it would have to be a"Tribal Band" tattoo with the Cherokee Seal (my tribe) on my left-upper, flabby arm.  My "little" brothers both have those tattoos and they look great, but they are young and muscular.  Personally, I'd be so self-conscious about having a tattoo, that I wouldn't show it anyway.  So, what's the use!

4. Which of the following do you MOST believe in:
  a) Ghosts
  b) Mindreaders
  c) Time Travel
  c) Love at First Sight
  e) Extraterrestrials

Answer-Despite the fact that I have had several situations that I wished were love at first sight, I am enough of a realist to understand the role that chemistry plays in attraction.  I've experienced plenty of those "across a crowded room" moments in my lifetime!  But, I don't think it was ever LOVE!  More like...Lust!

I guess I would have to say ghosts. 

Certainly there have been times I thought I felt spirits nearby and I believe I have actually seen one a time or two.  Anything's possible, I guess. 

5. Other than North America, if you could choose any other continent for a one month vacation, which would you choose?

Answer-Dang, is this a test?  I am trying to remember my geography.  I guess it would be Asia, since I'd love to spend some time in Japan.  A few years back, we had a cultural exchange student from Japan, named Chuyuki and I'd love to spend more time with her.  I learned so much about her culture and people, that I would really love to experience it with her and her family. 

And, here is the first of the questions submitted by you:

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #1 from Jennifer:  If, by some bizarre new law, you were restricted in your eating preferences to only one restaurant for the remainder of your natural life, and you had to choose -- HAD to choose or die -- which restaurant would you select?

Answer-Speaking of Japanese....It would have to be Kasagiri, here in town.  It's not my absolute favorite food (mexican is my favorite), but to sustain a healthy lifestyle for the remainder of my days, it would be the best choice.  I think they have enough variety and tastes to suit me and at least I'd be eating my veggies!  Everything is presented so pretty!  Plus, I think it would be better for weight control, since I used to see Chiyuki eating salad for breakfast!
