If There Was One Thing You Could Choose To Do Forever, What Would It Be??

If there was one thing you could choose to do forever, what would it be??

That’s hard. I think the most flexible answer I could give to get even part of what I’d want out of life would be that I’d choose to be a student of some kind forever, or if my answer has to be an active verb: to keep learning forever. This, as my one thing, would allow me to both read and write for the rest of my life. Also, it would be a loophole!

I could claim I was doing or observing something in order “to study” it or to learn from it, meaning, I could justify doing virtually anything I wanted. Even if I wanted to do nothing at all, I could reason out that I’m, for instance, studying the effects of “meditative silence” on my brain and its deterioration from long term inactivity. Or, I’d just say I learn automatically from life experience as I age since we, as humans, never stop processing information and thus, technically, never stop responding and learning to respond to a constant onslaught of information, so in my example, I would be “learning” to sit with stimuli around and suppress responses to it, by consciously choosing to do nothing, effectively getting out of having to “do” anything.

What are you most scared of??

Why should I tell you?

(It’s fine if you want to try convincing me that I should answer, but I think my mind is already made up in that I won’t. Sorry for the lack of response. I do not want this type of information to be used against me. You can interpret my answer as paranoia or distrust of humanity, but I don’t think you will get very far! I will allow challengers to psychoanalyze me if they want though. /hj)

Sophie ought to be due more credit. How is she so sophisticated and cosmopolitan in spite of being from a close-minded town? She couldn't have derived everything she knew about high society and fashion from just the storybooks, surely? Maybe she was more inventive and pioneering than any of us could've thought since, upon becoming Dean, I think she launched several Woodswide trends.

So Ive Gotten Basically Net Zero As My Quiz Result. How Mysterious, Quoth I Skeptically. And Apparently,

So… I’ve gotten basically net zero as my quiz result. “How mysterious,” quoth I skeptically. And apparently, I’m “suspicious?” Am I? Remains to be seen, haha. I don’t know what to make of that and I’m kind of unironically pleased that this quiz has managed to tell me almost nothing about myself—which is probably the most in character response (in line with the quiz) that I could’ve given. Victory?! Who could’ve guessed? (Me, I suppose. Sorry. Had too much fun with this one…)

Now for the tags:

If I forgot anyone and left you out, or you would like your tag removed, you can let me know.

Busy lately??

Yes. If you’re wondering, I have other projects with real deadlines that take precedence over fics. I may post more at certain points of the year though. Not quite sure yet.
