Manic Monday

Again I haven't done this in for.ev.er so why not, check out Manic Monday's site yourself, every Monday she has some great questions. These are from the last few weeks. If you click her link, and see this weeks you will probably know why I am not doing this week. Let me know if you play along!


What does it mean to you to have courage?
It means to stand up for what you believe in. I know so many people who say and do things to please those around them. For me it's having the courage to stand up for my decision to not have religion in my life, and NOT feel bad about it. For standing up for gays and not making fun of them when all my straight friends do. And for not pretending to be some one I'm not. I am silly, goofy, and outspoken. That is courage to me.

Is your favorite time the past, present or the future?
I guess all of them. I love to hear about the past, I wish I would have cared about History in school, how everyone coped with out all the crap and technology we have now. I am trying to enjoy the present in hope of making a past I can be proud of. And I am always looking towards a future with my family and friends.


What makes you a good person?
Going along with the first question, I think the fact that I stand for the things I believe in. I won't jump in with you and joke at things I don't understand. I don't pretend to know it all about people, but I don't like to judge them because of there skin color, or their job, or what sex they prefer. That is what I think makes me a good person. I try not to judge.


How do you define honesty?
Being real with someone. If you disagree with me, or see things differently, tell me. I don't want me and my friends to see everything the same. It's great to get other opinions.

What is the main thing that makes you unique?
I would think that if you asked Spaghetti this question about me, he would say I am unconventional. I play by the rules as long as I want, until I need to do my own thing.


What is your biggest fear or worry?
Spaghetti and I agree on this one. We fear losing our family. Our children, each other, our parents or my sister. I would toss Aerial in that too, she is just as close as my sister to me. I think we are afraid of how it would break us, and how to be strong after a loss like that. I do think that is why Uncle T's sickness (yes he is still with us) is so hard for us. To watch a family that we hold so close go through what we fear most.
