Reflective Questions and Such

[kybearfuzz]

It's storming here and I'm bored. Given the rush of interview questions, I'll just pose these five and let those who want to answer any or all come forth.

1. What do you think you will do in Heaven?
2. What invention would you like to create?
3. Do you believe in ghosts? Any experiences?
4. What was your proudest moment to date?
5. What was your most disappointing moment to date?

My Answers

1. I figure that I'll spend a great deal of time in Heaven reviewing history, learning all of those unknowns like who Jack the Ripper was or whatever happened to Amelia Earhart. I picture that they have a library where you could look up any past event and truly learned what happened.
   
   
2. To play off my first response, a time machine that would allow a user to venture into the past to observe historical events. I think it would be like a viewing panel to prevent tinkering with history. Either that or a car that runs on tap water to save some gas money.
   
   
3. I do, but not of the chain-rattling wailing sort. I've never seen a ghost, but my nephew has. He was four years old when my grandmother passed away. He spent a lot of time with her and didn't fully understand the concept of death. One day, weeks after her passing, he was at her house and my mom was watching him. She walked into the room where he was playing and he asked where Mother was (we all called my grandmother "Mother"). Mom tried to explain to him that she was in Heaven. My nephew said, no she wasn't, she was just there a few minutes ago. It didn't spook my mom, but rather gave her a warm, fuzzy feeling that Mother was checking in on things.
   
   
4. My college graduation, May 22, 1994. I was the very first to graduate from college in my extended family. It was nice to walk across the steps and get that degree after four long years of working for it.
   
   
5. Strangely enough, it was the same day, May 22, 1994. My mom and grandmother (dad's mom) and my sister and brother came up to watch my graduation. I was hoping for a party and a couple of graduation presents (a used car actually) when I got home. Instead, there was nothing waiting for me when I got home that night. No party, no dinner, no gifts. I felt slighted. Logically, I understood, my folks were as poor as church mice and couldn't have afforded anything anyway, but any effort would have been appreciated.

No, unless you include the backbone of the Democratic Party in there somewhere...

Don't know. Pride bores me.

November 3, 2004. Worst. Birthday. Ever.
