Aug. 16th, 2004 11:53 pm1. you're afraid of time and change, i know, we BEEN through this dude, but i'm giving you three seconds to plan a happy productive life for yourself. now spill it!
I guess... I'd be a published writer, with enough money to live the way I want. I don't really want to be a millionaire or a celebrity- too much media coverage- but I want my name in print and I don't want a mortgage. I want a job I enjoy on top of the writing, and I want to do it because I enjoy it, not because I need to. I want to have a wide-ranging knowledge that is really eclectic and covers all sorts of strange and interesting topics, as well as being at least partially polylingual. I want to have lived in Japan and to have visited most of the world. I want to live with Mari.
But most importantly, I want to still be in close contact with the people who are important to me and I want to be able to say I'm happy and mean it.
... I don't ask much, huh?
2. seriously, what do you really think about death? i'm just interested, because it's so rare to get a chance to disuss this with people openly (and i take it you're well and truly no longer a catholic *grin*)
I still have a vaguely fond spot for Catholicism, but only for the rituals, I must admit. I like Jesus, but the Catholic attitude pisses me off GOOD.
What do I really think about death? I'm guessing you're talking life-after-death, what with the reference to religion. In that case, I really don't know. I'm quite afraid to find out- my worst fear is that there's nothing, shortly followed by the concept of reincarnation, because I don't see much point in continuing on if you lose all the experiences and people that have shaped you. I guess there are problems with immortality, too, but I have to say that out of all the options I really hope there is some kind of Heaven-like set-up. I don't think there's a Hell. Maybe there's some form of purgatory or rebirth for truly nasty souls? If you're twisted as a result of a traumatic life, I guess it would in a way be good to have a fresh start.
3. when have you been most truly happy?
I don't know. That's a hard question, because I generally can't remember being outside my current state. I mean, I can remember what it's LIKE, but I can't remember a particular time, if you get my drift- I always have that problem when doctors ask how long I've been feeling symptoms and such, because it always seems much longer than it is and I can't remember. But... hm. There have been some times with my family, particularly my grandpa and my brother and my sister. I've been truly happy with you, and Victoria, and Mari. And Ebony. I've been truly happy talking to Ji and Cori. When I achieve a goal, like my last report card. And when I know people are proud of me or truly love me.
4. you have to leave your house and precious internet - FOR A WHOLE DAY. where the hell are you gonna take me?
Cruel girl! A WHOLE DAY? I think I may faint. However, if you insist: (I'm ignoring such little things as location)
We'd go to Kunokuniya and a massive comic store and drool over both western comics and manga; we'd pimp around the shopping centres window-shopping and trying things on, talking loudly about how slashy everything in the world is and is paying no attention to the stares we'd attract from passers-by; we'd go to a coffee and eat ice-chocolate and not care how bad it is for us; then we'd go back to someone's house- our FUTURE house, maybe, so no parents- and have a sleepover, where'd we dance like fools and play stupid drinking games and write crap together and stay up having a deep and meaningful conversation until 7am.
Um. The end.
