Thursday Therapy

Stolen from my favorite blogger, as usual.

When was the last time you cried?
I cry easily and often so I’m sure it wasn’t that long ago. For me, tears are my body’s way of releasing energy (I suppose it’s that way for lots of people) so I cry when I’m angry, sad, happy or if something moves me.

What made you angry this week?
Well, it was last week really and it’s the incident with the co-worker who called me the devil in disguise. I am still pissed at her for that. I’m not sure I want to get over it. (I will, but feel happy in my righteousness at the moment. Is that a sign that I really *am* Satan? LOL)

What was the happiest day of your life?
I am glad to count many among these. The first David Cook show where I stood right at the edge of the stage close enough to touch him was pretty amazing. I’ll say that one.

Have you ever laughed until you cried?
If you have ever seen Eddie Izzard in concert, then you’d know the answer to this.

Have you ever laughed so hard you peed your pants?
Almost but not quite (thankfully!)

Have you ever been suspicious of someone?
NO! Why are you asking me this question? What’s really going on behind your words? Are you trying to corner me?

What was the last thing you envied?
My friend Charlie’s discipline. He was told by his doc to change his diet for cholesterol reasons and he jumped into that task with glee. When he sets his mind to something, he does it. Me? If I can even set my mind to something, by the time I get around to doing it, I’m bored.

Are you sarcastic?
Not as much as I used to be, alas. If I’m around someone who is, it will come out a bit more.

Have you ever had your heart broken?
What a silly question! Of course.

What is the last thing that disgusted you?
I happened upon a television show about people who have strange body abnormalities and this person had elephantitis of the leg and it was truly hideous. I was so grossed out but at the same time had enormous compassion for what this woman was going through in her life. I. cannot. imagine.

Have you ever been truly afraid because of a scary movie?
While watching “Carrie” in the movie theatre in 1976, I somehow managed to get from my chair to my boyfriend’s lap in record time because of one scene. (If you’ve seen it, I bet you can guess what the scene was.) I won’t watch any kind of Exorcist movies because I know I will have nightmares for weeks.

What is your biggest regret?
Certain relationships in which I wasted a lot of time that I could have been using finding someone who didn’t have rage issues.

Have you ever had an obsession?
All three of you know the answer to this question.

Do you feel pity toward others who have less than you?
Pity isn’t the right word. I feel enormous compassion and try hard to do what I can to help them if I am led to do so.

What is your biggest fear?
Biggest or most irrational? Biggest is being totally homeless and destitute. Most irrational is looking like a fool with my heart hanging out there for all to see.

What was the last lie you told?
I feigned interest in that co-worker’s child’s school day. Yes, I am pure evil.

Have you ever cheated in a game among friends?
During Trivial Pursuit with Kim and Sal, I was driven to cheat. Don’t ask.

Who was the last person you flirted with?
“Sid Flagelman” – the nice little old man in my office. I’m not sure if it was for my benefit or his.

Have you ever seen an image that made you physically ill?
That elephantitis show sure had me close to it. Blargh!
