#239: What do you think about when you lie awake in bed? There’s an e-card that compares a woman’s mind to a browser with 2,857 tabs open, and I think it’s pretty darn accurate. Work, tomorrow, yesterday, chores, a book I’m reading—all of this and more shoots through my mind. At high speed. Simultaneously. I actually find the psychology of type A personalities to be very interesting, because what allows you to be incredibly successful is also incredibly crippling!
#240: What’s something most people don’t know about you? That I write! Unless they read my blog or are a very good friend, I don’t talk about it. I’m too nervous!
#241: When you have a random hour of free time, what do you usually do? Read!
#242: What makes you weird? I talk to my cat. But what pet parent doesn’t?
#243: If you could relive yesterday what would you do differently? Sleep more…I never sleep enough on the days I work.
#244: What do you do over and over again that you hate doing? Uh…go to work? Seriously, though, I have a problem with doing things that I know I’ll regret later, like eating too much dessert or staying up too late reading. Nothing hugely serious, but I do wish I had better self-discipline.
#245: Would you rather your child be less attractive and extremely intelligent or extremely attractive and less intelligent? I think this is a trick question, because of course everyone wants their child to be intelligent, yet I also know that being less attractive can cripple your ability to do anything with that intelligence if you have low self-worth, are too shy, etc. Anyway, I don’t intend to have kids. But I wonder what those of you who do have/intend to have kids think: would you hope for an average balance, or would you hope it skewed one way or the other? Why or why not?

The sad thing is that an attractive person of average intelligence has a better shot at happiness.. :(

True :(

I’d pick intelligence, BUT THEN I believe basically everyone is born with the ability to be intelligent (unless they have a mental disability) and it depends on how much you cultivate it. hehh. But it’s sad that it’s true that being “ugly” can inhibit your life SO MUCH because of society. *Sigh*
I’M A PET PARENT TOO AND TALK TO MY DOG.

THAT’S BECAUSE ATTICUS IS ADORABLE AND SHOULD BE TALKED TO ALL DAY LONG!!!! I would love to get a puppy but right now life is just too busy to give a new pet proper attention. :(

Of course I talk to my pets and bunnies as well. I often wonder what people would think about me if they could actually hear me. :) The last question is tricky. Of course I would want my kid to be intelligent but it’s the sad truth that beautiful people often have it easier. But I guess I would choose my kid to be slightly more intelligent than attractive. :)

I’m sure people would think we need to get out more! But I don’t care, pets are sometimes the best to talk to–they don’t judge or interrupt. :)
