Do you have any collections?
Either way, it’s Hello Kitty. It all started with a pencil case my dad brought back from one of his trips to Japan. I was about three years old. I no longer have the pencil case, and I curse when I think about the pencil case’s missing status, but I have plenty of other collectibles. If I see something HK, I have to have it.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
*swoops hands around blog*
How do you feel about cold weather?
Do I answer this prompt? Are they data mining? Do they want to know if we’re using a certain brand of calcium to prevent bone breakage?
Yes, I’ve broken my tailbone, though I have no idea how. I may have broken a toe, but I never had an x-ray. Other than that, I don’t think so.
Have I broken my own heart? Several times. Will I try again to break it? Statistically, yes.
Let’s segue into my song lyrics for the day:
Don’t Get Me Wrong (2007 Remaster)
The Pretenders
Don’t get me wrong
If I’m looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk byDon’t get me wrong
If you say, “Hello”, and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don’t get me wrongDon’t get me wrong
If I’m acting so distracted
I’m thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smileDon’t get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I’m only off to wander
Across a moonlit mileOnce in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there’s something in the airDon’t get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterdayDon’t get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of passion
It might be unbelievable
But let’s not say, “So long”
It might just be fantastic
Don’t get me wrongSource: Musixmatch

How do you balance work and home life?
Actually, here are a few spiders. Happy Saturday.
What sacrifices have you made in life?
“Some things look better, baby, just passin’ through.”
I’ve got nothing for this prompt, except for this song, which I’ve always liked, even though it’s not a happy tune. Have a great day, everyone.
Sacrifice
Song by Elton John
It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strongInto the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity landsCold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing throughAnd it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at allMutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final actWe lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burnsCold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ throughAnd it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at allCold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ throughAnd it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at allNo sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all

Hi. It’s me. I’m the things.
I’ll never be this young again, but this is the oldest I’ve ever been. I don’t know how old my soul is, but it is greater than or equal to the age of my body.
I didn’t make the rules. I simply live in the skin bag with all of the accessories.
Are you a leader or a follower?
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?
Today’s the day.
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.
Once upon a time, in a land about thirty miles away from where your author sits at this very moment, a tiny baby was born. She was born five weeks early because her mother chased around a cat with a baby chicken in its mouth and as a result, broke her waters. The baby’s father was away at sea, working hard as a ship’s captain and unable to return in time for the imminent premature birth of the tiny baby.
The tiny baby’s mother had to go to the hospital because the tiny baby insisted on being born, regardless of where her daddy was. The tiny baby didn’t care about that, she was ready to enter the world of the oxygen breathers. The tiny baby’s big sister took their mother to the hospital and waited in the father’s waiting room with a room full of expectant dads (this is how it was back in the day – dads waited in a room). After some time, the tiny baby was born. The tiny baby’s mother and big sister rejoiced.
The tiny baby grew as babies do, and eventually became a grown-up. Many people helped the tiny baby along the way, but there were only two at the start of the tiny baby’s life as an oxygen breather: her mommy and her big sister.
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.
