Friday Five

[dancingyel]

interesting questions...


1) When does liking someone a lot become loving that person?
that's the question of the year, now isn't it? i think, partly, it's the change from wanting to be happy together to wanting them to be happy all the time, whether you're there or not. not sure how much sense that makes, but that's ok.

2) Is there a job you would do for free, and is it your current job?
i'd do my current job for free since i need field experince before applying to grad school, but i don't think that's what this one means. i think i would do psychology for free...love talking to people and all. i'd also do massage for free, for someone who really needed it.

3) What is one person/thing that inspired you to take action of some sort?
so ambiguous. the thing this made me think of, though, is learning more about judaism after the guy i wanted to date said he only dated christians. backwards way of coming to be more jewish, i know, but it worked.

4) Though you might not believe in it, would you like fate to exist?
yes and no. on the one hand, it's kinda cool to think that what's "meant to be" will be, but on the other hand, i want more control than that. i want to think that my choices make a difference in what happens to me. i want to know that the things i do, for better or worse, have an effect.

5) What's the kindest thing that anyone has ever done for you?
gosh, that's hard. my life has been full of kind acts from family, friends, and strangers. i don't know what "the kindest" thing would be, but the most recent kind thing was the va giftshop lady offering me some of her apple when i was there. that was really sweet.


well, that was a fun random meme. should do the friday five more often...

If I answered these questions, it would take forever to read lol. Yeah we should do friday five more often. Something definitely to ponder. =)

you should still answer them, i'd love to read your answers! i could've gone on for much longer, too, i just chose not to.

Number one is an awesome answer, though I would apply it to love in general, rather than the the state of being "in love" (Not to say you were applying it to either). I wonder what characterizes the latter?

i'm not sure if i was thinking of it as an "in love" thing, or just love as a whole, but you're right, it applies to both. not sure what chracterizes being "in love," but it feels less...solid, i guess, to me. it's more a come and go thing, where you can be in love or not, but still love the person. does that make any sense at all?
