Somehow, my glorious week of no commitments in the evenings until social events Friday and Saturday became a meeting on Monday, a class on Tuesday followed by a "working" dinner, and a meeting on Wednesday. Oh well. At least, er, Thursday is gloriously clear?

I told triadruid this morning that I supposed that if I stopped doing things all the time, then I might die, and it wasn't worth testing it.

In other news, while I was doing last night's class, kittenpants and triadruid were browsing the stacks at Borders and reading from a book about things you should do before you die. This sort of thing always eats at me, because I'm not terribly goal-oriented. If I had been in the car scene in Fight Club where everyone had to say what they wanted to do before they died before Tyler Durden would pull the car out of the oncoming traffic, we'd have had a head-on right there. I got nothing. I've done more than I feel like I have any right to have done, and anything else at this point I consider to be icing.

What about you guys? What do you want to do before you die? What, in your opinion, should everybody do at least once in their life?

Q) What do I want to do before I die?

A) Anything I say here can will be held against me in a court of law (or more likely a civil court) ... but at this point in my life, this question becomes more "Who do I want to do before I die?" and the list is fairly long as it includes several people who need to be killed (in one sense of "to do" someone) and a few more that I'd like "to do" in another sense.

*sigh*

So much for high-mindedness, eh?


Q) What should everybody do at least once in their life?

A) Have the absolute trust of another person ... it's both chilling and empowering at the same time. So far, I've seen this only rarely from somebody who was not a child. It seems as we grow old and disillusioned, we value the trust others place in us more and more yet find it far more difficult to give.
