Giving up on flydayfyve this week...

roya_spirit’s Dorothy Parker post yesterday reminded me of my favorite all time D.P. poem:
Comment
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.

Yup. There it is in a nutshell, folks.

1. What is the biggest purchase you've ever made? 702 Lawrence Ave.
2. Would you describe yourself as a spender or a saver? A saver, most definitely.
3. Do you consider yourself someone who makes environmentally-conscious decisions? Yes, except for when it comes to pest control. Nuke those fuckers, baby. I hate roaches and spiders are worse.
4. What do you envy? Very little. I’m kind of envious that roya_spirit got to go to the flamenco show last night.
5. Kermit: Just Another Frog or Greatest Thing Ever? Uh, what?

thefridayfive
1. What is something that you used to believe, but are glad you don't believe anymore? The existence of God
2. Is there something you wish you still believed? What? I wish I believed that the people I love will always tell me the truth. I know the people who love me tell me the truth, but those groups don't always overlap.
3. What experience or person taught you the most about life? Too many people and events have influenced my life equally. Impossible to say who or what is #1.
4. What area of life would you like to know or understand more about? This is a terribly contrived question. Next.
5. What is your most valuable lesson about life so far? 1) What comes around goes around, and 2) If you have the choice to laugh or cry, choose to laugh.
