1. What troubles you?
Um, how about a heavily abridged list in non-sequential order? Okay:
--Rupert Murdoch.
--Making sense of my religious upbringing.
--Mushrooms.
--Musical analysis that talks about lyrics and forgets about music.
--White male conservatives that believe solving racial issues requires not discussing racial issues.
--Waffle House.
--The Spice Girls reunion.
--Guessing the remaining life of my car.
--Presidential candidate discussions of "family," "values," "conversation," "the American people," "patriotism," "commitment," and related empty buzzwords.
2. Do you like thunderstorms?
Noooooooooooo. I'm not scared of them, and I can sometimes appreciate their cathartic symbolism, but give me sunshine and no clouds any day.
3. Do you sleep easily or toss and turn?
Man, I used to sleep like a brick, but now I toss and turn more. I grind my teeth also, which I used to not do for the most part.
4. What do you offer a friend?
Support (however that may manifest depending on context) and the effort and attitude that that person and I can mutually learn from and grow with each other's help. True friends are good at reminding you who you are and who you aren't or shouldn't be (whether overtly or implicitly), and they let you experience the world with a stronger appreciation.
