2. Privilege. Local elections are a chore.
3. Whim? Most everything.
4. Crash again.
5. Yeah. No.
Welcome back, Ben! The Internet was less fun without you.
1. Senior colleagues are being offensive in meetings. Inappropriate for me to comment, but I try to make my feelings known through exaggerated facial expressions and the occasional shocked gasp.
2. Privilege. Read some history, those who think it's a chore. Unless you are an aristocrat, people died so people like you could vote. And unless you are an aristocrat, life was much crappier for people like you before people like you had the vote.
3. Watched Serenity & ate chocolate.
4. Forget something really important.
5. Tired but fairly content.
Oh Ben, it's so wonderful to have you back! You brighten the sad state of an average Monday!
1. I find it hard to bite my tongue when people say I'm not that tall. For GOD'S SAKE, I am 6 foot 1. And I'm a girl. That IS Tall. ARGHHHHHHHH.
2. It's a privilege in theory and a chore in reality.
3. Ran away from home to live with my Dad. Never went back to live there again.
4. It's feeling inevitable that I'll die alone, that sad ferret lady.
5. My mood... hmmmm. Probably angry, which is my usual state.
1. I find it hard to bite my tongue when... I walk in on someone else's conversation and feel I have something to add.
2. Voting. Chore or privalege? Chore to find a park if I don't live near a booth but otherwise a privilege. I don't understand the idea of non-compulsory voting being democratic - how can a 30% turn-out be considered the will of the people except to say that they hate the lot of candidates?
3. Something you did on a whim - it's now a habit; read random books from the display tables at the library.
4. It's feeling inevitable that I'll.. not get any sax practice done before tomorrow night - I'm using an injured hand as an excuse.
5. Your mood....NOW - Yay! Ben and his Monday quiz are back!
1. Not so much bite my tongue, but be polite -- when people ask questions they have no business asking in the first place and then expect an answer.
2. Theoretically privilege but practically chore.
3. Bought a plane ticket to London to surprise an ex-boyfriend.
4. ... tear up at the drop of a hat at least for the rest of the week if not month.
5. Tired/sad/dejected/frustrated/angry/hurt/nervous/overwhelmed.
1. people say horrible things about my dad.
2. both - in the past I've found it a chore - like when 'E' was born and I was too tired to care.... this time it was a privilege, but tiring doing all the research. (I take my voting privilege seriously).
3. I rarely do anything on a whim.
4. get the vomit bug the kids have :-(
5. Tired, but content - always things for which to be thankful.
Rodeo-Proposed on a whim? Just as well it turned out well
Al-re #1: They SHOULDN'T??
Pedro-Unemployment is such a scary word
CJed-There's worse things than out west..
Steve-Sounds like we share that same anxious worrying gene mate
Wendy-Are the amounts tiny though?
Gary-I'm so glad there is someone on my blog who talks about Walt Simonson's Thor omnibus. Not a huge Simonson fan, but I kinda like some of his stuff. He's pretty dynamic.
Deb-To me it seems like no matter how good a day with the kids goes, that hour before dinner is always pretty mental, and things always seem to suddenly unravel!
Maso-Only one night?
Simone-Everything on a whim. Sounds exciting.
Jo-thx,nice to be back:)Maybe with the senior colleagues you could surreptitiously flip the bird, pretending you're just scratching your cheek.
George-thx for your nice words! yeah I don't like when people say I'm not short. Compared to who, Bilbo Baggins?
Laetitia- Yes I feel the need to contribute to convo's like that too
Kim-Sorry you're feeling crappy, I hope the week's gotten better.
Ruth-I hate the innevitability of when yr kids get crook you know you're gonna be next.. hope the household is on the mend tho
Welcome back, Ben! I am really enjoying your blog and missed you although this last week has been more of a non-computer week -- which is why I am reading your Monday quiz on Friday night.
I find it hard to bite my tongue when people make sweeping generalizations, especially about Americans. 2) Definitely a privilege. 3) Ate half a big bar of Rocky Road Chocolate. Between the shop and home. Today. 4) Its feeling inevitable that... I'll have to start saving for a new laptop. My last hope was extinguished by a laptop coroner/friend. 5) Longing for my family in the USA/Nostalgic.
1. non Christians talk about God.
2. privilege.
3. colored my hair red.
4. stay up too late tonight.
