Cat's Jumping In!!!

[Cat59]

a friend of mine who is orthodox once told me a a prank that was pulled on a new priest at his first mass. They put popcorn in the inscensor I couldn't help but laugh . . . .

Probably made quite a mess...

What is the craziest thing you'd ever do on a dare?

Ski down Everest while simultaneously reading the works of Charles Dickens and singing "Always look on the Bright Side of life."

 

[BigToe]

do you always look on the bright side of life? and did you buy the soundtrack to spamalot?

 

[Cat59]

do you always look on the bright side of life? and did you buy the soundtrack to spamalot?

No and no...
I have an alarming tendency to think negatively instinctively, as an impulse, without clear reasoning. It's only over the last few years that I have become aware of this and battled against it to try and again a more realistic balanced view on life. I succeed some of the time, but I have a constant battle over my thoughst and feelings that seem to want to drive me in an Eeyore like universe, where nothing is bright and things almost always go wrong.

I find laughing at myself has helped, at the absurdity that some of my thoughts seem to lead to, as does Monty Python, bringing me to Spammalot.
I should have brought the sound track to Spammalot, son2 would have relished it, but as its coming to the UK soon, I expect it'll be all over the place here. It'll give me a little surprise to get him for Christmas.

If you could be any age again, how old would you choose to be (and why)?

 

[Cat59]

I'd be the age I am now...
Being younger again would mean losing some of the things I have learnt and as I am continually finding out, I always have a new lesson that I have to work through.
Besides which, 47 is a pretty cool age to be. I can start to be more eccentric in dress and manner than I already am and people just start to put it down to old age...
Whereas before they just put it down to me being somewhat odd and eccentric...

Does son2 now know what he's getting for Christmas?

 

[Cat59]

No, because he's still fast asleep in bed...
I've tried to wake him but with no success.
I don't think he'll read this thread either, he's not finding CF easy to get into and he prefers his online gaming.

Do you consider yourself skeptical?

 

[Cat59]

I think I have a degree of scepticism about me in that, for example, I tend to like to check out stories/quotes reported as being said by someone before taking it as fact. I think when younger I tended to accept things at face value and I don't think I do that any more...

 

[BigToe]

when is the last time you flew a kite?

 

[Rosa Mystica]

Is Son2 a CF member?

 

[Cat59]

when is the last time you flew a kite?

At the seaside three or so years ago...
It kept coming down!

Is Son2 a CF member?

Yes, Little_Francais
He doesn't post much though...
Prefers online gaming.

Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon or on a bicycle built for two?

 

[Cat59]

Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon or on a bicycle built for two?

No
I'd like to though.
I've been to a Hot Air festival near hear a few times where they have over 100 going up in an hour- some of them amazing shapes.
I'd be happy going on a bike like that as long as I could go on the back...

 

[USincognito]

No

The city I work in had a balloon festival this weekend. Friday and Saturday the weather didn't cooperate, but Sunday they were able to launch. I'll try and find you a link.

 

[Cat59]

That'd be really cool!
I haven't got any photos of the festicval on this computer and I only have a scanner out of the ark, otherwise I'd share one of the hundreds of photos I've got of the bristol festival...

when people you come across online seemingly disappear, do you ever wonder what happened to them later, after it has been a while since you last chatted with them?

 

[Cat59]

Yes.
I'm a worry wart....
