1) Got a speeding ticket? About a year ago, got two in a month
2) Had a steak? A week ago...
3) Kissed someone? A week ago... Currently commuting home on weekends.
4) Had a crush on someone you shouldn't have? A little less than a year ago. Proof that these feelings do not stop once you are married.
5) Said something you immediately wished you could take back? I do this about once a month.
6) Skipped class or called off of work? Several times in the mid 90's I was messed up.
7) Loved someone so much it hurt? Now, unfortunately it takes trouble or distance to make me realize it.
8) Hurt someone you love? A week ago...
9) Denied yourself because what was "right" overruled "desire"? Not often enough.
10) Were drunk/high? Last night
11) Wished you could sink into the floor? Oh.... so... many times. Every rejection letter that keeps me from finding a job closer to home, when I spilled red wine on my in laws' rug... To many to number and too cringe-worthy to re-visit.
12) Felt on top of the world? When I got an interview at much more, like times 30, prestigious company than where I work now. Pray for me next Friday.
13) Had breakfast in bed? I would have been single, and by breakfast in bed, it would have to mean dragging a jug of milk and cold pizza in a hungover stupor back to the sheets.
14) Bit your tongue when you wanted to speak out? Not often enough.
15) Did a random act of kindness? I don't keep record, but I do know I do nice things, when the opportunity arises.
