Towards the end of making the 101 list, I was really running out of ideas.  I searched online for  some inspiration and found this to be a common goal and lets face it, who doesn’t like filling out surveys about themselves…remember those good ole MySpace days?  I’m not going to subject you to all 50 questions at once, that would be obnoxious and cray cray long.  So, here are the first 10 and here is the original link I found just in case you want all the questions right now for yourself.  Let me know what you think!

 

1.  How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

~This would depend what day it is.  I think for the most part I feel 25, but about once a week I feel 60.  Doug and I often spend our Friday nights (or whatever you would consider 4:30-5pm) at a restaurant notorious for serving the…um well, older generation.  We then come home and complain how tired we are and go to bed at 8:30…before the sun has actually set.  Sometimes, we throw in a rousing game of Canasta.  Don’t we sound like a blast to hang out with?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Which is worse, failing or never trying?

~Never trying…I hate wondering what could have been

 

3.  If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

~For most people and situations, it’s because we feel obligated to do them.  Bills have to be paid and sometimes doing something we love as a career isn’t an option.  Other times, it is just the nice or good thing to do for another person.  In my case, there are certain individuals that require things to be done or else there will be gossip galore…Yes, I am in the mafia…no…maybe…if I told you, I would have to kill you.

 

4.  When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

~I would hope not but probably.  I worry too much of what others think and it stops/delays me from doing something I would like to do.  Also, I should win a gold medal in procrastination.  I talk a lot and think a lot, I don’t do nearly as much.

 

5.  What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

~I wish people weren’t so darn mean.  Is it really necessary?   Just be nice to other people,  geesh!

 

6.  If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

~Being able to create all day.  I can’t pinpoint an exact trade or skill…I jump around too much and I get bored.

 

7.  Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

~There has been a constant thought bouncing around in this head of mine that won’t really allow me to settle.  I just have this feeling that there is more for me in life than what I am currently doing.  I can’t help but feel like where I’m at right now, it is just temporary.  Settling?  Naw, not yet at least.

 

8.  If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

~Take more risks….don’t be such a procrastinator…tell people what I really think.  Hopefully, I wouldn’t be so afraid of being myself.

 

9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?

~I became a Christian…changing the way I make decisions in my life, how I chose the man to marry…I developed higher standards in life.  On another note, my work situation as of right now was my choice and on my terms.  It has definitely changed my path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

~Honestly, doing things right.  Where I grew up was such a harsh, critical world that was constantly judging.  You could never do, say, act, or dress the right way.  I was never good enough for that world.  Having that sort of realization at such a young age can really screw you up in ways that you don’t even realize until much much later.  See #5
