1. What is your morning routine?
I don't really have a morning routine. Right now it's get up around 9ish, start the computer, check e-mails, switch on the TV, watch news, brush teeth and such, make coffee. Then I usually just lounge until I really wake up fully around 11ish.
2. What is your nightly routine?
The usual, brush teeth and such, check e-mails again, shut down the computer, go to bed sometime around midnight, watch TV, sleep.
3. Do you like to listen to the radio when you sleep or have it quiet?
I like to watch TV, before falling asleep. I never turn it off though. I started sleeping with the TV on when I was first divorced, it covers the noises in this old house and keeps me from being scared.
4. What do you like to sleep in?
I always sleep in a long silky night gown.
5. What is the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning?
"Damn. I need coffee." Then “Yay I made it to another day”

Running low on Tolerance
...I miss Johnny Carson.
I never knew what his politics were. He was just funny.
These so called "late night comedians" today...Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert...they're just nags shoving their Leftist politics down our throats.
They're not funny. They're boring.
Maybe it's the long winter that is getting to me. Maybe it's just me. Are any of you feeling the same? Please tell me that I have some company in my little cranky world.

5 on Friday
1. What is your favorite song right now? Why?
for some reason I've been wandering around the house singing Etta James "AT Last" in a kind of Bill Murray-esque lounge-singer sort of way – I blame that commercial.
2. What genre of music makes you the happiest?
So many!! Singer/songwriters, Big Band Jazz, torch singers, techno dance music, blues...
3. What would you name your band and what kind of music would you play?
My band would be the "Tin Roof Merry All-Stars" - we play outsider and visionary music inspired by the desert, small mammals, and the forest. I'm the lead caterwaller. We wear a fetish-inspired uniform designer clothing and at key points in the show, we all strip down to various states of undress and reveal vintage undergarments, and Yoko Ono occasionally sits in as a guest.
4. What is your favorite lyric of all time? Why?
My answer to this is it would have to be almost ANY Cole Porter lyric. How can you go wrong there?
5. What band/artist could you never live without? Why?
The Beatles. I love listening to them and their music to me is like breathing. I could possibly live without them but why would you want to?

5 For Friday
1. If you could change one life-changing event in the life of someone important to you, would you?
Probably not. Life-changing events are there to be life-changing, and I might not like the altered result any better.
2. Which do you think is easier to do, being friends for many years, or being life partners for many years?
I don't seem to be particularly good at either, so I don't claim any authority, but I would guess being friends.
3. Have you ever walked away from someone you considered a friend?
Yes. And I should do it a little more quickly when I decide I need to. I have a history of getting myself into emotionally dangerous relationships. Sometimes, you can love someone but you cannot be around them.
4. If you had to choose between telling the truth and hurting a friend or lying and making them happy, which would you choose?
Before , it would have been a difficult choice, but now I am firmly grounded in the belief that honesty is more important than happiness.
5. Which would you rather hear--the truth which will hurt, or the comforting lie?
I would frankly rather hear the comforting lie, though I recognize that isn't the better option and I should opt for the truth. (And I would tell my own friends the truth). Part of this is that I recognize that I tend to reject the truth when given to me by others; I need to find it for myself. So I would rather not hear the painful truth, but discover it on my own and deal with it in my own way.
