If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or one ability, what would it be? The ability to to make everyone in my life happy.

Whom, if anyone, do you envy enough to want to trade lives with them? Nobody at all.

If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what woud it be? Because my parents were divorced when I was very young, I do not know the circumstances revolving around their break up. I do know that my mother hated my father, and spent every chance she could drumming this into my brain. She was a great Mom in all other respects, but I could of done without the Dad bashing. She is gone now, RIP, but Dad is around now, and he is great. I wish I could of enjoyed him when I was growing up.

If there were a public execution on tv, would you watch it? Yes, I tend to be morbid.

Would you rather arrive at a party underdressed or overdressed? Overdressed. Once you are there, you can always down play it, but it is hard to upgrade.

What's more important: actual experiences, or the memories that remain from those experiences? The actual experience makes the memory, so I would have the say the actual experience.

In real conversations, do you tend to talk more or listen more? I think I do them evenly.

1. What, if anything, is too serious to joke about?

Nothing.

2. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or one ability, what would it be?

How to express myself less offensively.

3. Whom, if anyone, do you envy enough to want to trade lives with them?

The person that I think I could be if I could conquer my faults and live up to my own standards.

4. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Either that my father had not died on the day after I was born or that my mother could have protected me from the step father that beat me.

5. If there were a public execution on TV, would you watch it?

Executions are barbaric. I have not watched the Saddam Hussein execution even though I could have on the net. Saddam Hussein still lives as long as people get pleasure from his death.

6. Would you rather arrive at a party under dressed or overdressed?

Overdressed. I could always take my jacket or tie off to drop down a notch.

7. What's more important: actual experiences, or the memories that remain from those experiences?

That's like asking what is more important, Christmas or Easter? Some people have memories of fictitious experiences. But, if i have to answer, I'll take the memories of real experiences.

8. In real conversations, do you tend to talk more or listen more? If you had to chose one, would you rather be blind or deaf?

Anyone who has read my posts can figure that one out. Talk! But at one time, I was an introvert and only listened. I enjoy listening, but talking and eating seem to be my twin evils and both originate from the same place; the mind.

Deaf or Blind. How about one eye and one ear?

I don't know and I will not answer that. I will wait until I have to be one or the other.
