Bar the last, no big surprises. The last one is very simple to answer. Even they don’t know the answer to that one.
What do you love doing that bores everyone else stiff?
Not telling, it would only bore everyone stiff!

I must do this, I must do this, I must do this.
Interesting responses.

There is another one coming on my blogger friend Square Peg which will blow you too.
I can’t possible think of answers to many of these…so many choices. However, there wouldn’t be a last piece as I would have eaten it long ago. And having all I need and most of what I want, what could I possible wish for…other than world peace?

My initial reaction was also the same but I persisted and came up with as honest answers as possible eventually.
I will have to leave it right now, I have my own set of questions unfolding here…which could be like the “last chocolate in box” if you look sideways at what is my current status 🙂

I sympathise and understand.
1. yup. i have to eat the last chocolate. yum.
2. when i’m very old i want to remember where the bathroom is and what it’s for.
3. yes. i would enjoy fame. i would use it and the money that goes with it to help the animals of the world. i would be an obnoxious celebrity.
4. my most emotionally moving music is clair de lune. and also . . .
the aria in madam butterfly. moves me to tears every time.
5. i take a shower. then i go outside. i watch people. i eat good food.
i laugh. and i’m happy! sounds too simple. but true. i’m seldom depressed. i’m afraid of depression. it leads to serious illness.
6. i enjoy washing dishes the old fashioned way. in the sink with suds.
7. all inanimate objects that are supposed to work. do not work when i touch them. they do not like me. simple as that. i have learned to accept it. i don’t hold it against them. it’s just the way it is.
8. it would be a small boutique hotel in london on st james street. can’t remember the name. it is like bertram’s hotel in Agatha Christie’s book.
9. i think vile criminals should be exposed to anything that’s coming to them from the other prisoners. especially child molesters.
so the answer would be no. they should not be segregated.
10. when i was 18 i wish i had known that all adults are simply taller children. ALL of them. well. maybe a few exceptions. but those few are rare. they would be wise. the rest are . . . children!
another fun post rummy!
