Q And A Part 2

3) would you rather eat someone else's booger or have someone else eat your boogers out of your nose?

Eww. That is just gross. The latter, definitely the latter. Although I suspect you could record the event and sell the footage on certain specialist websites. Yuck.

4) if you could remake one decision that you have made in your life, what would it be and why?

I've thought and thought about this one...

I'd like to go back in time, and explain to the 18 year-old Newly Single that while being, ahem, intimate with your English teacher is great for the adolescent ego, it shouldn't be the start of the one major long term relationship in your life. I'd advise him to take better precautions.

He wouldn't listen, of course. He never did.

This would, of course, mean no First-born. Hence the agonising. But I think I would have liked to see how my life would have turned out if I'd never met The Ex.

5) what is the thing that makes you happiest about your blog? what is the thing that makes you least happy? why?

The journal was immensely therapeutic during the whole divorce process. In that regard its somewhat redundant now. I guess right now what makes me happiest is the diary aspect coupled with the people I've 'met' through the journal. Why? Because I always wanted to keep a diary, but was rubbish at it until I began using this medium, and meeting fun people just can't be beat.

The downside was the fear of being 'outed' and the couple of times when I've felt the need to self-censor myself. The big thing, I guess, is the 'life laid bare' aspect of the journal. There are posts containing stuff that I wouldn't even tell my closest friend. Thats probably the worst thing; the whole exposure aspect. Why? Because I'm actually a pretty reserved person, this isn't something I do (the only person who knows my feelings and thoughts as well as a reader of this journal is The Ex. At least she used to. Heh.)

Have to wait until 10,000 for the next batch of questions...
