the 2021 daily meme, week 16
May. 2nd, 2021 11:52 pmStill catching up.
April 16. What kind of traveling do you not enjoy as much? Driving in slow traffic on the interstate. Going to a boring place for the sole purpose of seeing relatives that I don't really like.
17. What’s a common experience for many people that you’ve never experienced? Having someone try to pick me up in a bar. One day my coworkers were comparing the worst pickup lines anyone had used on them, and it was somewhat embarrassing when they asked me and I couldn't come up with an answer. (The closest thing I could come up with was a guy on the bus saying to me "hey, my friend just got out of prison, will you sleep with him?", and that wasn't a pickup attempt, that was harassment.)
18. What did you Google last? "will lawn mower break lego brick" (I thought surely someone has done a YouTube video or such on this, but no luck.)
19. What’s the dumbest thing someone has argued with you about? The only one I remember is whether the position of the moon in the sky changes at the same time of day in different lunar cycles (beyond analemma; the person was claiming that they'd seen the moon on the opposite side of the sky in the same phase and at the same time). If it's something I consider that dumb, I'm likely to go "uh-huh, sure" and ease out of the argument.
20. What’s the most frustrating product you own? A flannel shirt that's a hair snug and whose fabric isn't nearly as thick as the price led me to expect.
21. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Tie between a Ceili's Muse concert around 1992 with a magical rendition of "The Galway Farmer" and an Alan Doyle concert around 2018 that had me dancing in my seat the whole time.
22. Do you need money to be happy? Um, yes. Do I need a *lot* of money? Not once I have enough to maintain a comfortable small home with some private space, cover my living expenses and medical needs and home repairs, and still have enough that I can have dinner out or buy a beautiful braid of fiber without feeling guilty or straitened. Winning the lottery wouldn't make me happier than I already am, though I'd probably worry less about the cost of kids' education and of care for me and Spouse as we age.
