I think it sounds lovely.:)Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798532682456165053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-90376383557903142722007-10-14T14:54:00.000-04:002007-10-14T14:54:00.000-04:001. If your S.O. asked you, "Would you die for me?"...<I>1. If your S.O. asked you, "Would you die for me?" how would you answer? And be honest.</I><BR/>Honestly, I can't imagine anyone who loved me as much as I needed them to even considering letting me die for them. That's a horrible thought.<BR/><BR/><I>2. Do you believe Big Foot/Sasquatch/Yeti exists?</I><BR/>Not as supernatural creatures. I also think it unlikely anything of those sizes could still be alive and not have been better documented.<BR/><BR/><I>3. Have you ever been:<BR/>(a) sky diving<BR/>(b) scuba diving<BR/>(c) mountain climbing</I><BR/>a) Nope. Don't intend to.<BR/>b) Snorkeling only, but it was in some pretty remote places, wayy way wayyy off shore (tiny volcanic islands in the middle of nowhere and stuff) and very cool.<BR/>c) I'm not sure what qualifies. Not in snow or repelling, or rockface climbing with ropes or anything. But I've hiked to the tops of some interesting (relatively modest) peaks.<BR/><BR/><I>4. Do you have any artistic ability insofar as painting, drawing, sketching, sculpting, etc.?</I><BR/>I like to think I once did. And I do have that useless art degree.<BR/><BR/><I>5. Vis-a-vis jewelry, do you prefer silver or gold?</I><BR/>I would have at once adamantly said silver, but I've become quite metalidextrous<BR/><BR/><I>6. What is your very favorite piece of furniture in your home?</I><BR/>Does my fireplace count? How about my paintings? My laptop? As long as I have those things and textiles and appliances, I could be utterly happy. I've usually been too mobile to get too attached to furniture. I suppose I have kept my grandmother's Scandinavian driftwood writing desk, which sounds weirder than it is.<BR/><BR/><I>7. Does your pet sleep with you?</I><BR/>On their own beds right next to mine. Close enough, I can reach a foot over the edge and rub their heads with my toes.<BR/><BR/><I>8. Do you have a good rapport with your boss?</I><BR/>I'm self-employed, so I suppose the answer would be a resounding no.Camille Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031841106283355784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-5148113809859715332007-10-13T22:38:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:38:00.000-04:00Thanks, Snow.

When love is that intense, yeah, you'd walk into a burning building to save them. Or some such. #3, I've done it that way, too; never the extreme climbing, though. I do believe the overwhelmingly most popular answer to #6 is bed -- with a couple of toilets and chairs thrown in for good measure.:)Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798532682456165053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-25319542210817858292007-10-13T20:05:00.000-04:002007-10-13T20:05:00.000-04:00Serena, you look so adorable Sassy in that pic!

And be honest.<BR/><BR/>I probably would. I would be afraid, but I know I could love someone that much.<BR/><BR/>2. Do you believe Big Foot/Sasquatch/Yeti exists?<BR/><BR/>Nah, not really.<BR/><BR/>3. Have you ever been:<BR/>(a) sky diving<BR/>(b) scuba diving<BR/>(c) mountain climbing<BR/><BR/>Just Mountain Climbing, but not in an extreme way like with ropes and stuff. :)<BR/><BR/>4. Do you have any artistic ability insofar as painting, drawing, sketching, sculpting, etc.?<BR/><BR/>Nope, just writing for me. :)<BR/><BR/>5. Vis-a-vis jewelry, do you prefer silver or gold?<BR/><BR/>Silver. But I really like any type of jewelry.<BR/><BR/>6. What is your very favorite piece of furniture in your home?<BR/><BR/>My bed. I LOVE it and I never want to give it up. It's the also the most expensive piece I've ever bought, but worth every penny.<BR/><BR/>7. Does your pet sleep with you?<BR/><BR/>Our cat sleeps with my daughter, but I did catch her mush-mushing me with her paws last night.<BR/><BR/>8. Do you have a good rapport with your boss?<BR/>When I was employed..yes.--Ditto Tc. :)<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>--snowsnowelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774922203013114354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-17061854326607639092007-10-13T13:26:00.000-04:002007-10-13T13:26:00.000-04:00No, if it was just for the insuranceWell, I guess ...<I>No, if it was just for the insurance</I><BR/><BR/>Well, I guess I can't blame you for that one, Mike.
