The Friday Four

You may recall, from the dim dark past when I was writing regularly, that I really don’t like being tagged and answering questions. This one caught my eye. It figures Rory is the creator of this series: His questions are always thought-provoking whether I answer them or not. Today, I’m answering.

1] If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or have someone to cheer you up?

I’m with Greta Garbo:

2] What’s the one thing that people always misunderstand about you?

That I’m not lonely. I really do NEED to be alone a lot of the time. Being with people can sometimes be overwhelming and require herculean effort not to run away screaming.

3] What do you think about when you’re by yourself?

Anything and everything. If I’m not plunging down an internet rabbit hole, I’m generally daydreaming. The one big drawback is that once the daydream ends or is otherwise interrupted, I usually completely forget it. That’s very frustrating when, during the daydream, some part of my mind is saying “this is a good story; you should write it down.” Oh well. I take solace in believing that my creative batteries are re-energized nevertheless.

4] What are three things you value most about a person?

Humor, intelligence, and creativity.

Bonus Series 1 Question

If heaven is real and you died tomorrow, would you get in?

This is impossible for me to answer because I can’t picture a scenario in which heaven is real. I think something comes after this life but not heaven or hell. Depending upon whether someone has met their soul’s goal in this life, I think they either get a chance to come back again or continue on to another psychic level until the soul attains one-ness with the universe.
