Friday Fives

[kyrielle]

fridayfiver: But in your dreams whatever they be

1. Do you like looking at stars?

Yes. I wish we lived far enough out in the country to have less light pollution, but at least we can still see more stars here than in the city proper.

2. Who do you say "I love you" to?

Family, including chosen family. And Scott, of course. And yes, the cat, because that's just me. And she's cute.

3. Did you say "good night!" to anyone last night?

A couple people via computer, and Scott in person, yes.

4. When is the last time you felt blue?

Still a fairly regular, if intermittent, experience.

5. Tell us one of your dreams:

Um. Yannow, whether I interpret this as 'what you dream at night' or 'what you want to accomplish' I am blanking right now. Sorry. :)

thefridayfive:

1. What was the most sick that you've ever been?

Among my clear memories, it's a toss-up between mono in high school and what I suspect was a medication in college. The former lasted longer, the latter was short but did involve spiking a nasty fever briefly. Both were miserable on my schoolwork.

From when I was young, and my memory is thus vague, it would be the asthma attack when the first allergy tests were done when I was young. Considering it involved the intern at the hospital joking with my mom about my lips being blue ("are they always that shade of blue?") and two adrenaline shots that didn't stop it, and an IV drip of theophyllin...that really probably wins.

2. What disease are you afraid of getting?

Anything fatal is scary. But I think cancer tops the list, right now.

3. Are you a big baby when it comes to taking medicine/shots for your illnesses?

Generally, no. I make an exception if the medicine is particularly vile (flonase), and I sometimes whine my way through shots (as I warn the nurses, I'll use words if they need to know something, if I'm whining it's because I'm trying not to flinch needlessly, and it actually stops me from flinching, so...).

4. Is going to the doctor really THAT bad?

No. Though it's often tedious, given their schedules.

5. Would you have the flu twice a month if you were paid $1,000 for having it?

First, that's disgusting. Second, absolutely not. Ick. (Okay, if my only alternate choice were unemployment and homelessness, probably yes, very grimly. But if my alternate choice is my present life or something like it? No way. Where did this question come from?)
