Defying Gravity and Daydreaming

I was under the impression that all people daydream. But yesterday’s Friday’s Feast suggested differently. I daydream frequently. My daydreams range from happy thoughts to my ambitions. There are times that my daydreams are so vivid that I believe the said event actually occurred. 

For example, when it comes to my writing I think about the congratulatory phone call from my agent, his comments regarding the areas of strengths and weaknesses in my book, and how the cover of my book will look like.

Everything seems so real. Writing success right there at my fingertips. I know it’s going to happen because I can feel and see it in my daydreams. All of my successes I’ve been able to envision. And they have always come true. 

Everyone has their story and mine isn’t much different that millions of others – child abuse, alcoholic father, molestation blah blah blah. You name it, it happened to me. Daydreaming was the only way I survived my childhood. Perhaps this habit stayed with me as an adult. It’s the the only way I know to defy gravity.

Friday’s Feast Feburary 8th 2008

Published by auria cortes under Friday Feast

The originators of Friday’s Feast are having technical difficulties. As a result, this week I developed my own questions. I look forward to reading your responses.

Appetizer
Do you daydream in color?
No, my daydreams are in black and white or the images fly by so quickly that they are colorless.

Soup
Who would you trade places with for just one day?
Boy, I should learn how to makeup questions that I can easily answer. Um…I’ll choose Melissa Etheridge on stage. I wanna be a rock star!

Salad
What is your favorite TV show for the 2007-2008 season?
I gave up tv last year, but I watch some shows on the internet. I believe that is totally cheating. The two shows I like are Samantha Who? and Cashmere Mafia. Both are just brain candy.

Main Course
Which famous person do you have a crush on?
Rachel Maddow. I know, I know. I’m not a lesbian. But damn I totally dig her.

Dessert
At what age did you have your first real kiss?
I was nine. It was the last day of 4th grade.

Friday’s Feast

Published by auria cortes under Friday Feast, You Tube

I’m still having difficulty logging on to WordPress. I don’t know what the problem is, but what I do know is that I’m at my exes again. This time I told him. Let me be clear. I would have told him the other day as well but he’s an attorney and I couldn’t get a hold of him because he was in court. No restraining orders have been put in place. Whew!

Okay on to Friday’s Feast.  Oh, regular visitors go ahead and answer the questions in the comments section. This is our time to get to know each other.  

Appetizer

What is your favorite kind of cereal?
Not a fan of cereal.
 

Soup
When was the last time you purchased something for your home, what was it, and in which room did it go?

I just bought my home. So everything is new. I gutted the whole place. I bought everything at the same time. Hmmm…maybe the tile for the bathroom is the last thing I bought. Or maybe it was the washer/dryer. Yeah, I think it was the  washer/dryer.

Salad

What is the funniest commercial you’ve ever seen?
Ever seen? I don’t know, but the one I like is the Pepto Bismol. The video is embedded above. My mom has the same accent as the woman in the commercial.
 

Main Course
Make up a name for a company by using a spice and an animal (example: Cinnamon Monkey). Chile pepper coqui (that’s a Puerto Rican tree frog)
  
Dessert

Fill in the blank: I haven’t ______ since ______.

What you are thinking is the answer. And I won’t tell you how long ago it has been.

I found a meme that seems really cool. Every Friday I’ll answer questions that reveal something about me. This will be an opportunity for visitors to get to know me a bit better. For frequent visitors to my blog, take the time to post your answers in the comment section. I’d like to get to know each of you better as well. Oh how sweet…a bonding moment. Group hug.

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?
I’m not sure, but since I work alone and live alone I usually am laughing at my own jokes.

I’m not cool enough to wear sunglasses. Damn, where’s Corey Hart when you need him?
