Tumblr-Tagged!

Sophie tagged me. Here are the rules:

Rule 1: post the rules

Rule 2: answer the questions the tagger set for you, then add new ones

Rule 3: tag 10 people and link them to your post

Rule 4: let them know you’ve tagged them

Here are my 5 questions:

1. Is there a God? Yes. 

2. Do ghosts exist? Yes!

3. Is worrying worth it? God, I hope so. No, to be honest, probably not, except sometimes yes, if worrying means thinking things through a lot and playing lots of scenarios in your head and figuring out where you're at and what to do. Worrying like, you know, panicking about things you can't possibly change? Less so.

4. Are you honestly content with the body you currently inhabit? It's a pretty fucked up body actually, so...no.

5. How important is family? Very, sometimes. I suppose that depends on your definition of family? I mean, blood relatives can be very important and they can also be horrible, broken people who you don't need in your life. Chosen family--a category that can include blood relatives if you choose to have them around--is really, really important. Did I answer this right? Who knows. Here, have my questions. 

Answer these, kiddos!

1. Who or what holds you accountable and keeps you from doing things you know you shouldn't? 

2. If you could design your last meal on earth, what would you eat, who would you eat it with, where would you be, and what music would you listen to?

3. What's your lucky number?

4. What is the bravest thing you have ever done?

laura why

1. laura radmer ruined my life at least twice

2. chai 

3. when i was a kid i sometimes used to sneak vanilla extract from the cabinet and put it on my wrists like perfume

4. one time when i was maybe 3 or 4 i was sitting at my grandmother’s kitchen table drinking a glass of milk and my grandma mentioned that i couldn’t have anymore milk after that because it was almost time for me to go home and i wanted to reply so i spit the milk back into the glass to answer and she said “well you didn’t have to give it back to me" and started laughing and even though i have done maybe 4000 more embarrassing things since then that is still what comes to mind when i think “most embarrassing moment" 

5. speaking of embarrassing, i almost got kicked off a golf course when i was 14 for kissing a boy by the man-made pond. my dad, who was golfing at the time, found out about this incident several months later due to bad timing and the fact that i didn’t have a cell phone at the time, so the whole family used to same landline to carry out our golf-course-kissing dramas.

6. i did not own a pair of blue jeans before i was 12 years old.

7. the first conversation i ever had with my best friend in the world was about ecstasy, and was also a huge misunderstanding. 

8. i once recited the entirety of “come together" on a train platform in boston while my friend somewhat inexplicably beat-boxed. i received applause. 

9. gina caputo probably gave me 3 of the 10 best compliments i’ve ever received.
