Rating your life and covering your toilet paper
1) Veterinarians always say people should not feed their leftover food to their pets, but one of my dogs has eaten people food for his entire 16 years of life and has no health issues. Do you feel it's okay to feed people food to pets or should you always follow the vet's instructions?It's hard not to toss a bite or two to a dog waiting for a scrap of food. They don't seem to understand it when you are eating soup or something like ice cream, it's just not as easy to toss them liquids as it is a french fry.
2) Have you ever become addicted to a game (of any sort)? If so, what was it?
I used to play Tetris obsessively- until the batteries died in the original gameboy
3) This week is World Breastfeeding Week. Should women be able to breastfeed in public places (assuming their covered up)?Yeah, I know it creeps people out, but I'm ok with it, but it is weird
4) It is National Clown Week. Because of my ex-husband, clowns freak me out. Have clowns ever scared you?
Yeah, especially after Steven Kings "It" I have had a nightmare where clowns where found in nature, full sized but they acted like squirrels running along power-lines and and eating nuts, but there was always a chance they'd turn on you.
6) Last week my boyfriend told me this, "I get life philosophy from pop culture." Where do you (or did you) get the majority of your life philosophy?
I am in my head a lot, so all these idea are swirling around and sometimes, hearing something in a song, or movie, or on a television show will connect the dots. Recently I was talking to my therapist about relationships and he said when drama arises there are three roles that we subconsciously take on. The victim, the rescuer/hero, and the antagonist/persecutor. Whoever initiates the drama decides what role they are going to play. I feel most comfortable trying to be the hero, not that I fix everyone's problems, but I will give advice and encouragement. Tying this back in with philosophy and Pop culture, I was watching CBS's Big Brother and saw this triangle dynamic happening over and over again, specifically by Brendan and Rachel, but the other house guests do it too. With Brachel, they are always afraid of being the victim so they compete and if they win they become the persecutors, and hero, if they lose they are the victims and cry. So I have been trying to take a step back from these subconscious reactions, and ask myself what role am I playing. Why do I feel like a victim? Am I supposed to be a hero?
7) My local newspaper did a story over the weekend about stories taxi cab drivers hear while driving passengers. It was a "taxi cab confessions" type story. Have you ever had a deep conversation with a cab driver?
I don't take very many cab rides, once when some friends and I where on a Caribbean island we took a cab from one side of the island to another, and he decided to stop at his house for about 30 minutes, so that was a little sketchy, we were in the middle of the island off some dirt road, with rosters, and pigs.

9) The Food Network's show "Meat & Potatoes" is rated "M" for "Meat." Many movies are rated "PG" for "Parental Guidance." Some video games are rated "E" for "Everyone." What is your life rated?
WTF
10) What was a quick decision you once made that changed your life?
I usually get stuck thinking about big decisions for a long time. If it is something that I know will have an effect down the road I usually try and weight all the options. I choose my major in college Fine Art and stuck with it for four years then went back to school a few years later for some graphic design, choosing Graphic Design from the start was an option but it looked harder, wish I would've done it though
