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.

1. What do you think you will do in Heaven?
I'm always confused as to what exactly I believe in so this is truly not something I've ever thought about but I really really like your answer, that would be heaven to me. hmmmm.. that, and being with all the people I've lost over the years.

2. What invention would you like to create?
donuts that taste really really good and aren't bad for you, that and something world peace-y

3. Do you believe in ghosts? Any experiences?
I've seen too much in my life to not believe in them. I guess that's a yes to both parts of the question.

4. What was your proudest moment to date?
hmmmm... tough one. I've had some pretty cool moments... maybe January 16, 1994, the day my partner and I had our commitment ceremony.

5. What was your most disappointing moment to date?
being born 3 days before Christmas, I'd have to say my birthdays have always ranked up there as the most disappointing days of my life :P

I can relate to the birthday close to Christmas, mine is 11 days afterwards, when everyone is broke :)

yeppers, it sucks... before Christmas you are lost in the shuffle, after Christmas everyone is over the whole party thing, not to mention broke. One year my aunt gave be a box cake on my birthday. Not a cake made from a box, but the unmade betty crocker cake mix still in the box. she said "sorry, just too busy to actually make ya a cake but I didn't want you to think I forgot" grrrrr!

I did have *one* truly great birthday in my life, when I turned 30 and dragged my partner and best friend to to LA to spend the day at Disneyland. It was fabulous :)

Christmas babies should unite and make their own good time.

She actually gave you a box of cake mix. I'm really sorry, but thats kinda funny. Did she throw in some icing to? :)

I am so glad my birthday is in July.

ok yes, tho I was hurt at the time, in hindsight it's pretty funny I have to admit. And yes, she included one of those pre-made icing things too. I'm sure she didn't mean it to slight me, she was serious that she thought of me. Not enuf to actually *make* a cake but she thought of me LOL

[scifibear99.livejournal.com]

Well it is the thought that counts.

LOL.. she could have at least helped you make it!
