It’s been awhile since I did one of these, so I’ll double up the questions today!

301. List 5 things you have not experienced that you would like to experience before you die.

Pregnancy, childbirth, raising children (yes one thing is on my mind!), seeing the pyramids of Egypt, discovering something no one else has.

302. Will you try to accomplish any of these things within the next year?
Maybe

303. What do you feel controlled by?
The fact that I have to work to live

304. If Jesus appeared to you and told you that the moon was made of green cheese would you believe him?
Not unless I could test his word myself.

305. What is one thing you are sure of?
That my morning coffee is very hot right now – my tongue is proof.

306. At what part of the day do you feel the most alert?

Right about now.  It’s all downhill from here.
307. Have you ever played in a band?
No, but I sang in a choir once.

308. Have you ever stared into the ocean thinking ‘early creatures crawled outta that’?
Mmm no.

Nothing.  I pretty much black out.

Yes

311. Do you ever think of where your atoms were before they were in you?
Totally!  We’re made of space stuff!

That one hasn’t crossed my mind, although it probably should have.

313. If you didn’t know that people couldn’t fly do you think that you could?
No.  It makes no logical sense to me why anything can fly.  Flight is weird.

316. Is there anything you can take apart completely, and then put back together, and have no left over parts?
A lego house.

I believe in it.  But I think my justification for believing in it is just as important as my belief, I just won’t get into that on my blog.

318. If there was a god and you could ask him/her one question what would it be?
Why do I have migraines?!

Life

Frightening.

Money.

329. Can you think of three adjective that do not apply to you at all?

I don’t think so.

Yes

338. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have?
No.  Just the once, and I’m pretty positive it is right.
