Five Fun Friday Questions (blog marathon post 25)
Normal is boring. Routines are boring. Being staid and not expressing yourself and withholding what you truly feel is boring. Being like everybody else and saying what everyone else says and doing what everyone else does is boring.
I hate boring. Life is too short to be bored!
The above video is one of my favourites. I like it a lot because it is-- well--not boring! There is so much life in it and so much of self expression. Besides , it is about Friday--and who does not like Fridays?!
Here are a fun set of questions for you that are not boring. They will make you think--that is for sure-, and you do enjoy that don't you? The first question was on BBC Radio two, two days back. The callers had to call in with their answers and what a terrific set of answers we got to hear! The other questions I made up.

One thing that I will unabashedly admit—
One thing that I would never ever do, even if you pay me a million pounds—
Right now I’d rather be ---
If I had to choose between a date with an ex (with no potential to make up) and a new office hottie (who is a dimwit) I’d choose—
Here are my answers:

One thing that I will unabashedly admit is that I can mind read, lip read , proof read and love to read and read and read.

Right now I’d rather be reading a book and working on my second book.
If I had to choose between a date with an ex (with no potential to make up) and a new office hottie (who is a dimwit) I’d choose— surely the ex !
Now Go on--don't be boring. Don't read and leave. Use those grey cells and tell me your not-boring answers. :-)

One thing that I would never ever do, even if you pay me a million pounds— I can only think of things that I might do with a million pounds, but it would not be different from what I am doing without the million pounds!! I guess I would only probably not look at the price tag while shopping. Otherwise little else would change!
