Nov. 29th, 2024 05:34 pm1. In your city, where might a visitor find a wretched hive of scum and villainy? Probably somewhere I never go to lol, sketchy-looking places scare me D:
2. When did you most recently do something you didn’t think you could do? Probably the karaoke in Kansas..watching the video makes me SO happy haha. I feel like I might even be able to do it again someday! (Give me wine first though :P)
3. If a robot could do all but two of your regular menial chores, which two would you continue to do? Laundry, making my bed (it's sacred! Bumping against the posts is not allowed :P)
4. Who best qualifies as a mentor in your life today? Vicki, mom
5. How are you at chess? TERRIBLE haha. I went to a charter school in 9th grade and they made you play chess in the morning..I hated it and always lost lol
How have I been spending a bunch of Thanksgiving Break so far (besides eating too much LOL)?

It's hard to eat and use my laptop when Abby's in my lap haha, but when a cat chooses to sit in your lap, you just can't say no! Her old bones are very creaky now, I have to be careful with moving her..I don't want anything to get broken!
Today I had to do errands because I really need a new computer chair and desk (sorry Abby :P)..I found ones I liked, but I'm nervous I won't like the change..the desk doesn't arrive until sometime in December, so I have lots of time to get mentally prepared :P
There are live cameras on YouTube filming the Icelandic volcano erupting..it's fun to watch it for a couple minutes throughout the day!
26. What Does Santa Claus Mean to You? It's the spirit of the season! It's fun to believe in someone who gives you gifts and flies with reindeer haha
27. What Is Your Most Prized Possession? My cat, my bed, Worst Journey first editions, etc
28. What Are You Grateful For? My job, a loving family, Prozac (it saved my life!), my fancy curtains, good health, etc
29. Did You Take Part in Any Post-Thanksgiving Shopping? I did today! There were definitely lots of people at Costco haha
