This week's The Thursday Threesome meme:
Onesome - I'll be - What did you want to grow up to be when you were a child? If you aren't fulfilling your childhood dream, what made you change it?
A. I never really played "dolls" as a child. I always played either one of two role-playing games (even as a very young child), sometimes incorporating the two. I either wanted to be a police detective or a newspaper reporter. My poor Mother has been "interviewed" about every imaginary crime I could conceive, and I would return to my "office" -- which contained a desk, a beat-up old manual typewriter, and assorted office equipment, and I would type up my reports on the crimes of the century! I did graduate with a degree in Journalism, and I do a lot of freelance work for newspapers, magazines, on-line and other publications. Not as glamorous as I envisioned it all those years ago . . .
Twosome - Your shoulder - Who's your confidant? Who do you run to when you need emotional support?
A. Chuck. Always has been, always will be, my only confidant. I can (and do) tell him -- everything. I'm never afraid of any judgment on his part. He is the one "constant" in my otherwise chaotic life.
Threesome - When you cry - What makes you cry? The scent of flowers? Allergies? Or are you just super-sensitive to that sad song you always seem to hear on the radio lately?
A. I admit it -- I'm a softy . . . I cry at old movies, even ones I've watched fifty times before. Sometimes I'll watch them just because I need a "good-cry." Songs that remind me of good times, or good friends, or great memories will make me cry . . . sometimes I'll even cry over cartoons. And, sometimes I cry over what might have been, or what should have been . . . Life isn't always fair, and it isn't always easy . . . but, . . . somehow, we find ways to muddle through . . .
