7 Questions That Tell You Who You Are

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:07:00 -0400

1. What would you do with your life if you didn’t have to pay the bills?

Travel. Travel everywhere with the an unnecessarily expensive camera and equally unnecessarily expensive laptop with a satellite internet connection. On a motorcycle. Saddle bags would contain minimum clothes necessary, a couple notebooks and G-2 Pilot writing pens because they’re the only way my handwriting doesn’t look like it was carved onto the back of a rock by the slowest caveman in the class. I’d ride from where I am on the east coast to the tip of Washington state, hitting as many landmarks and national parks on the way. From there I’d ride down the California coast and make my way down to the southern most tip of South America, again stopping anywhere that was remotely scenic or had friendly people with stories to tell. Shooting. Typing. Writing. No phone - everyone home would just have to know I’m okay through whatever pictures, videos, and stories I post. From there I’d catch a boat to Spain and keep going from there.

2. What cuts you the deepest?

Betrayal. Not even in its most dramatic form. Just when people don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. Might be selfish - why take away people’s right to spontaneously be pricks?

3. If you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

Tempting to say spend it with all my loved ones crying and eating Chipotle, but don’t think I’d tell anyone. I’d take my dogs and go for a day hike up a mountain trail and camp out in an open field once it got dark. I’d bring enough meat for me and them to grill over an open fire and share a last meal before returning to the void.

4. Who do you love and why do you love them?

Family (including dogs). Unconditional / no bullshit attached love.

5. What do you quote?

Anything that grabs you by the shoulders and tells you to stop being lazy, ignorant, intolerant, or like you know everything. To stop being an asshole. That appeals to reason, logic, or inspiration. Or anything that gives me chills from being the perfect combination of words to express something I know but never thought about in a passage (e.g. Richard Matheson).

6. In those rare but life-changing moments, how do you act?

Same as I do when I become lucid within a dream. I stop and acknowledge that it’s happening and tell myself to stay “awake” and not forget what just happened or its significance, if any.

7. What do you think about most?

I play out random scenarios in my head and “what would I do if…”moments. Being omniscient. Being a billionaire. Being omnipotent. Having some unique talent/ability. Supernatural abilities. Story ideas. Things I want to learn how to do or be good at. A lot of mental to do lists.
