more questions...part 3!

21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
I think anyone who is educated and has a logical brain falls into the "worried genius" category. It kind of stinks to be smart. I am not a genius but I do think I am smarter than your average joe. Anyone smart can see all the problems in their life, community, with this presidential election, and in the world. The simpleton is the lucky one, ignorance is bliss, and sometimes I wish I were dumb quite frankly. 

22. Why are you, you?
"Why am I me"? (I hear a musical interlude coming on...) I am who I am because I chose to be me. I am a product of my community, parents, and surroundings, not to mention myself.  

23.  Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
I try to be!

24.  Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
I have lost friends on both fronts and either way it stinks, but to know that someone is close by and you cannot get to see them is worse than knowing you cannot because they are in another country.

25.  What are you most grateful for?
My education, my pregnancy, my marriage, my friends, my family, my life!
26.  Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
AH! Im not sure, it would be terrible to lose my old memories, but it would be worse to not be able to remember my little girl. I think I would chose to lose my old memories...
27.  Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
Yea, some things are obvious...

28.  Has your greatest fear ever come true?
No, my greatest fear has always been to lose my voice and never be able to sing or talk again. Not only would my career be over, but so would my life. 
29.  Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset?  Does it really matter now?
4 years ago yes, but 5, no. 
30.  What is your happiest childhood memory?  What makes it so special?
I have many happy childhood memories but I have one memory that comes out of many events. My best friend Sam and I used to go fishing every day during the summer for most of our childhood. She would come and stay over my house a lot and we would go fishing in the pond behind my house. We had more fun every time we went out there than we did the last. We caught fish, turtles, frogs, built fires, made forts, and had the most meaningful childhood discussions a kid could ever have. I would never trade those memories for anything.
