For those who celebrate, Happy Drink-O de Mayo! | |
SDF user, christyotwisty, has phosted her monthly 5 questions for the | |
month of May.[1] Here are my responses: | |
COT: How would you describe sleep to an alien? | |
xiled: If the alien understood English, I would describe sleep as the | |
essence of me exiting the vehicle and venturing to the place | |
that transcends while the vehicle is in the shop for | |
diagnostics and repairs. | |
COT: What in your opinion is a fascinating cultural tradition or | |
practice? | |
xiled: Fascinating cultural tradition...Halloween/Dia de los Muertos. | |
Embracing the living, remembering the dead. Costumes, candy, | |
and calaveras! | |
COT: What's a beverage you loved, but was discontinued? | |
xiled: Josta. From wikipedia: "Josta was a soft drink brand that | |
was produced by PepsiCo and the first energy drink ever | |
introduced by a major US beverage company. It was marketed | |
as a "high-energy drink" with guarana and caffeine. " | |
COT: Have you ever experienced a "healing crisis" or withdrawal | |
symptoms while recovering your health? | |
xiled: Well, I did go over the handle bars of my mountain bike | |
several years back. I was jumping the curbs on the driveway | |
aprons and did not anticipate the compression from the shocks | |
on my forks. This was my first bike with shocks on the front | |
forks and was used to fixed forks. The rebound had me flying | |
over the handle bars and gravity had me smashing my shoulder | |
into the pavement. The gas station attendant phone an | |
ambulance since she saw me go down and not get back up. | |
Nothing was broken, just a bruised ego and a b0rq'd shoulder. | |
I had to go through physical therapy to get my shoulder | |
re-aligned. The shoulder never went back to how it was and | |
my collarbone juts out underneath the skin. Lately, I've | |
been having to go back to doing the shoulder exercises and | |
bringing out the door pulley since there is shoulder pain | |
and the misalignment is noticeable. I don't want to lose my | |
range of motion. | |
COT: Have you recently had a rediscovery? | |
xiled: I have rediscovered the joys of playing video games. I am | |
still allowed to play them even if I am biologically an adult. | |
Life shouldn't be so serious to not be able to enjoy playing | |
video games. I also rediscovered that I was not going to die | |
today so I better get back to the land of the living. | |
