friday five

    1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind?
    To go away and feel reassured that nothing is following me. When that isn't possible, it's all about lying on the love seat and trying to find books/food/DVDs to distract myself.

    2. What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands?
    All of these things are mostly already in my home. Telecommuting, online classes, emailed communiqués and online bill payment... Better to ask what the first thing I do is when I lock the front door behind me. (Answer: get into the car and hope for inspiration.)

    3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells?
    I'm going to define aromatherapeutic smells as "smells that could be sold as such but may not actually make any widely documented therapeutic claims.” I like sandalwood, magnolias, sometimes ginger, sometimes lily. Anything woodsy ought to work. Whatever is in Primal Elements' Midnight Moon or Winterfall soaps.

    4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself?
    Oh... hm. By myself is the sure thing, but I can also drive myself batty when left alone.

    5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't?
    I hate the "what do you blah blah that most people don't blah blah" questions because when you read the answers later it always sounds so naive/arrogant, and it's hard to remember that the writer was speaking of the people around them and wasn't claiming to be so terribly unique in the world at large.

    God but I'm a nervous nellie over being misread.

    Meanwhile, I don't have an answer to this question.
