Friday Four

Two days late...via Fleur de Lisa

Q1 - Possessions: Do you think that the more stuff you own enhances your life or adds to your burden?
Some of it actually makes dealing with the realities of life easier (i.e. plumbin, insulated walls, central heat/air. But most of the stuff we actually buy on a regular basis (clothes, toys, books)...uhm, not so much. Too much of that definitely becomes a burden, especially when moving! Too bad I live with a pack rat, and I have my own packratty tendencies also.

Q2 - Oil: If OPEC decided to turn off the oil spigot, do you think that the United States would have the right to wage war to protect its interests?
Absolutely not. I got into an abbreviated discussion yesterday about this issue...abbreviated because I didn't want to turn a social occasion into a battleground. The people in this country need to be aware of the real cost of oil and stop using so damn much of it!

Q3 - Movie: Have you seen the movie Ellie Parker with Naomi Watts? If so, would you recommend it to a friend?
No, I haven't seen it. Is this the one about sex discrimination? I'm too lazy to look...

Q4 - Birthday: What are the maximum number of days someone should spend celebrating his/her birthday?
Is this a trick question? Only one day a year is your birthday, so that's the only day you should expect others to celebrate it. You-yourself, however, can do whatever you want and chalk it up to "birthday" all year round if you like. People will think you're weird, but...oh, well.

Bonus Question... Q5 - Dancing: How often do you dance... and I don't mean just boogying to your favorite tunes inside your car or in the shower. We're talking real dancing here, with a partner on a dance floor (weddings count).
Not often enough, pretty much just weddings.
