Dispatches from a happy Hullian

1. Who do you owe?
The bank (some money), a few people (gratitude and celebratory food)

2. Does anyone owe you?
One person owes me a sizable chunk of change. Everyone else is pretty much in the black.

3. How many credit cards to you have?
One.

4. Do you care about national debt?
Enough to be glad ours isn't growing, and to be scornful of the US fiscal disaster under Bush (mis)management.

5. Would your friends be surprised if they accidently saw the balance in your checkbook?
They'd be surprised if I kept track of my balance in my checkbook... and so would I.

RE: your future. What lies ahead? Stuff.

Listen: what can you hear? Cars below, radio, computer fan, typing.

Inner peace:Do you have it? Occasionally.

Every once in a while, someone surprises you. Who did most recently? I think my dad.

Friends can come and go. Who has come into your life, and who has left? In what timeframe? People stay with me long after I lose track of them. It's hard to tell who's going to turn out to be a friend right away in a lot of cases. There are some faraway friends that I feel I'm slowly losing touch with, and some neat new friends-of-friends.

(and on chickcurious's open invitation, found through dzuunmod)

Five ways I de-stress:

1. Bicycle or walk. Anywhere. Best done in bad weather (either sweltering or overcast/damp).
2. Read something unrelated to whatever's stressing me (ever wonder where a bunch of my extensive store of useless knowledge comes from?).
3. Ramble to someone. Preferably over a hot beverage and/or stretched out somewhere comfortable.
4. Cook something. Without a recipe.
5. Take a hot shower. Emerge pink, tingly and clean.

I'll join in the not-tagging revolution here, but if this inspires you, go ahead.
