Bipolar Questions #7

Yes! Last night I dreamt I was with one of my closest friends, dating way back to childhood. We were shopping, playing around, and just having fun. Then we decided we'd look for a hotel room to spend the night. It was a fun dream.



Are you good at reading body language?

not really. I am better at coming to assumptions.
have you ever taken advantage of a deal on black friday?

Yes

Are you done or partially done Christmas shopping?

done. I may not have been overly eager this year (I'm usually thinking about christmas in april) but before the month of december... still eager.

how many emails (spam or otherwise) to you typically get per day

Maybe around 20 to 30, including spam or not so important stuff. These are to my personal email boxes. When I still worked, I had to deal with well over 100. I used to receive even more to my personal email boxes, but in preparation for my move, I have unsubscribed to many places. Also, though I have a Facebook account, I never use it. My Facebook "friends" know that. All of the Facebook notifications are sent directly to my spam folder. Only any actual messages go to my regular inbox. I get almost none, because I tell those people to rather email me directly.

How many different email accounts (email addresses) do you maintain? That would be personal and any work accounts?

I have 2 yahoo, 1 Hotmail and 1 Google mail...all for different things

What do you dislike about the Winter/colder months?

How fast night falls.

Did you sleep well last night?

Yes, very well. Actually, lately I've found myself sleeping more hours than usual and have had a harder time getting out of bed. I'm not depressed. What's also different is that I haven't been waking up at all during the middle of the night, not even for bathroom runs. Sleeping all the way through. I like that.

Do you prefer nights where you don't remember dreams, or ones where you do?

I prefer not to remember.

What is your earliest memory?

sat in my mothers house listening to the song do it to me 1 more time by captain and tennille on a crackly vinyl

she also had it's too late by carol king and some stuff by rod steuart

for some reason, the crackly vinyls used to scare the **** out of me

I think it's because I always hated fire and was triggered by it, and they remind me of a crackly campfire... just 100 times closer

but those songs I mentioned, it's too late and do it to me one more time I can't listen to anymore because of bad memories of my mother

is their a food you liked as a child, but really don't like now?

or maybe the other way round: something you didn't like as a child, but liked now

I can't think of any. I've never been a picky eater about much of anything.

Do you use pillboxes?

I have in the past, but I'm just on one med now, so I don't atm.

If you have a physical injury and you need to remain on the couch or in bed, what's your best way to pass the time?

Reading, writing, computer work/internet, TV or movies, meditation, listening to music, some craft of sorts that can be done in bed/on sofa, crossword puzzles, Solitaire (card game), brainstorming ideas, music composing, art.

Have you ever built anything? If so, what?

I've put together several items of furniture over the years - but I've not built anything from scratch. I've always rented apartments, so I've never been able to do anything like that.

Do you rearrage your furniture now and then for the change in scenery, or do you prefer to keep in all in the same spot?

My house is too little to re-arrange things much.

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?

I wish! But no.

Do you have a favorite sense (touch, smell, etc)?

It's hard not to choose touch, because I love hugs and kisses, though my husband's kisses have been pretty rough lately. He's let his beard grow to feel like a hedgehog. After that I'd say hearing.

What is your favorite "cozy" item?

My weighted blanket

Would you rather fly like a bird or swim like a dolphin?

Fly like a bird - it must feel so freeing.

If you like McDonalds or you occasionally need to eat there because there's nothing else, what do you ususally order?

We rarely go to McDonalds. They are sort of out of the way for us. Plus, my husband doesn't like fast food hamburgers, other than Mooyah Burgers. When we do go, it's usually only for breakfast and only when we're traveling somewhere. My husband likes their "Big Breakfast" (with scrambled eggs, hash brown, biscuit, and coffee), and I like the Egg McMuffin meal with the coffee and hash brown. I actually prefer McDonald's breakfasts to Burger King's or Wendy's. The closest of the lot to my house is a Burger King. As for burgers, other than Mooyah's burger, of the fast food ones I like Wendy's the best. Mooyah's beef burgers are really great, but I actually even prefer their vegan burger, despite not being a vegan/vegetarian.

What is your favorite breakfast?

Oatmeal. Oddly enough the best oatmeal is at the hospital where I do IP when needed. I don't know why but it is. They also have really good mashed sweet potatoes.

What is the last thing you ate?

The last thing I ate was oatmeal! So funny, because you mentioned oatmeal.



Do you follow news about the royal family?

no.

actually someone called me out on this recently. they said that in thailand, or china, or what ever it is (in an asian country), if you don't follow the royal family, or if you are rude about them, you can get sent to jail for it.

and I replied: well we're not in asia, we're in england, and frankly the royal family are a royal pain in my ***.

I don't like them. even they cause drama.

what is 1 interesting fact about the place you live that people don't often hear about?

Big Foot supposedly lives down the road from me.

Do you like documentaries?

Yes, I do. I've learned so much from docs. Recently I've seen some good ones on bipolar disorder.



What's something you like best about the month in which you were born?
