Days are perhaps arbitrary... I mean, there's this odd cycle of day and night we follow, but ultimately, it's our will and our motivation that determines how long we'll be awake. Our jobs tie us to the cycle we call the week, and seasons tie us to months and years. But what ties us to these units, beyond that?
Isn't a day just a day, even if it's exactly 366 or 365 days later than another certain day... or 31/30/29/28 days later, or even just 7? And if it's not just a day, then my question becomes, were the intervening days- all of which were closer to the original day- just days?
Anyway, it's something to think about. And I am, a bit, this morning.

What's your favorite smell? (Or a couple of them)
My favorite smell would have to be that of clean ice. I know water is supposed to be colorless and odorless... but to me, it does have a distinct smell. I also love the way rain smells, as it's drifting across the field towards you. It's a smell I love to have around here a bit more often than it has been, of late.
So, next question... what do you think the biggest single invention of the next ten years will be?
Happy day after the longest day of the year to you all. 
I hope it is good to you.
I'd love to be able to play guitar or draw...
I tried to learn how to do both..and yeah..I'm not very good LOL
I love to sing, so I think that being able to play guitar would be a nice addition to that
I also envy people who can draw...I would love to be able to do that!
Complete fantasy?
I'm not sure to be honest...
I'd love to be able to communicate with animals, that would be amazing.
and
f you had to be haunted by a ghost, tell me about the ghost by which you would be haunted.
I'd like to be haunted by the ghost of someone who could give me guidance, and who was possibly myself in a past life...No idea why, but I think I would.
and
What cartoon character would you like you are most like, and why?
Oh lord, no idea.
Um...maybe The Little Mermaid? LOL
Always looking for the next better, big thing..and wanting change in order to be happy because she's not happy with her current self?
and
A plain box, two feet long, one foot wide, one foot high, arrives in your mail. There's no return address, but it's definitely addressed to you. It gives you no reason for alarm, so you decide to open it. What's inside?
Love letters.
Lots of love letters.
and
Pick a figure from history. Pick one major event in their story. Tell how you would do things differently, and what the result would be.
John Lennon would still be alive, and he would continue his movement of peace and light.
and
What's the one greatest bit of wisdom you can offer me?
I don't feel like I could offer you any wisdom that you don't already know - most of my "wisdom" is in reflection to animals, and you are already in tune and compassionate to them...You don't forget them, and that's beautiful to me...Never change that - they need us.
and
What do you think is a good reason to get married, and why? If there is no good reason, why?
I don't think there are REASONS....
I think it's a feeling more than anything....I think that once you start to apply reasons on something like marriage, it loses something....
I don't know.
I think that when it feels like it's the right thing, and it's what would make someone feel complete and whole...that's the right "reason"?
and
What's your handwriting like?
Messy, unique...I make weird letter g's....and my letter a's look like they do here on this computer screen
and
What's something of which you are afraid?
Death.
Centipedes.
Heights (to an extent)
Driving over bridges
Being unwanted/loved/forgotten
Clowns
and
You've been shipwrecked, stranded on an island for at least a year. One morning you are walking on the beach, and in the sand, you come upon one footprint. Yes, one. No footprints leading to it, no footprints leading from it. What is your reaction? (Bonus points if you choose to tell how it happened. )
I think I would cry, collapse on the ground and cry...
But at the same time, being social would be VERY hard, so I'd have a hard time deciding if I really wanted to try and find that person, if there really was one.
and
What was something you did today that you enjoyed?
I went shopping
I got text messages from someone amazing...
and
Do you believe in magic?
No.
and
What's your question for me?
What brings you happiness and calm?
and
What's the handiest trick you know that you can summarize in a few words to a few paragraphs?
I honestly don't know....
and
What's something stupid you've done recently... or heck, something really clever you've done is fine, too.
Shared emotions...
I know to a lot of people this wouldn't seem stupid..but for me, it's VERY hard....
When I do it, I almost instantly regret it.
and
If you could go back at least 1,000 years and live in a civilization, which one would you choose if (a) you would get to return to your own time and (b) if you would not.
I'd be happy living in the 1960's....I love everything about that time.
I would also be curious to try living in the 1800's, in a big plantation house....I know I'd want to come back from that though
and
There's a song you may have heard - "One is the Loneliest Number". Pick a number, and give a title for a song about it (or something that had that number) that you would write.
