TotD #27: Little Odd Me's Meme
I've wanted to answer some of the QotDs many times but given up halfway. I saw this meme on Little Odd Me's blog and it actually got me to answer it.
1. If you were in a serious accident, would you rather be killed or have serious injuries that would affect your quality of life for the rest of your life?
Before I would definitely say I'd rather be killed right away because I don't want to live like a vegetable, excuse the blunt expression. But I guess it depends on the injuries. I guess I would choose to live as long as I could keep my brain and soul intact. There's one person in this world that I definitely would do anything for him, my husband. Simply dying is not fair to him.

1a. Same question, answer what you would prefer for the person you love the most.
The same deal. I certainly don't want to see my husband living like a vegetable. I'll honor his wishes no matter what he chooses though.

2. If you had/have a partner and they were ok with you having sex with other people, would you?
Absolutey no. It's just not my thing.
2a. Would you be ok with your partner having sex with someone else if it was all out in the open with you?
I thought about it and we talked about it. I think I will say OK but probably won't feel completely OK about it afterwards. We are very open about such things, but here are too many emotional complications though we both understand it logically and consciously. I guess this is another thing I'm anal about, and fortunately I don't have to find out how I will really feel afterwards.

3. Have you ever eaten food thrown away by another person? (Have you ever eaten food thrown away by a stranger? If not, what would be sufficient inducement to make you do that?)
Yes, I've eaten food thrown away by my husband. I love doing so (proudly). No, I've never eaten food thrown away by a stranger. Thank God I never had to. If I were really starving to death, I would probably do it, provided the food is vegan. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.

4. If you were given a license to kill any one person on the planet and not be prosecuted, would you kill someone?
I thought about this many times (maybe that's why I want to answer this meme), especially when I was really pissed with someone repeatedly. But I don't think I would really do it. Taking someone's life is not my job. I would still choose to let God take care of it since He does it better than I do anyway.
5. Who is the person who, if they died, you would miss the most? If they did die, what would you treasure the most in their absence? (take that any way you like, lol)
My husband. I would treasure his understanding and companionship the most. No one has ever understood or even tried to understand me as much as he has.
6. Have you ever lost a partner or a close family member - to death, or in some other way? If so, how did you cope? Did it work for you?
Yes, I have. I lost my grandfather to death, who was very very dear to me and practically the only thing to keep me sane when I was a teenager. I didn't cope with his death at all as it happened because of circumstances. I wouldn't go into all the details here. It suffices to say that I'm learning to cope with it now, after almost 14 years. I'm learning to grieve and accept the death. It has been working slowly. I guess it just takes some time since I never properly grieved when I should have.
7. If you could go to sleep tonight and wake up knowing the answer to a question, or knowing a whole body of knowledge, what would the question or area of knowledge be?
What's the purpose of our life? Is it good enough to try to be a good person or should we also try to benefit the world? Sometimes it just seems like if we want to do something that is also good for other people, we end up doing something that we don't really like or are harmful to ourselves because things are complicated and often involve many aspects we don't expect. But is it enough to do only what we want to do under the condition that we try to be good people ourselves?
8. If a genie jumped out of the bottle of beer that I am holding and jumped through this computer screen and offered you one wish (with a clause that no extra wishes may be wished for) - what would you wish for?
That my husband and I die at the same time so that I don't have to miss him and he doesn't have to miss me. That's enough. I don't need extra wishes.
Special bonus question: Do you have to make the bed before you get in it, or do you just get into it when it is all rumpled and icky, and if so, how can you do that, you.... you... unmadebedperson?
I make the bed sometimes, only in the morning though, never before we get in it. I go through phases. Sometimes I make the bed every morning. Sometimes I barely touch it for days. Maybe because we are both quite tidy, our bed doesn't get too rumpled or icky. Or maybe that's just my view on this subject. Thank God the bed is not something I'm so anal about. I've got enough worries, like the floor, the carpet, the oven, the stove tops, the dining table, etc..
My own question: Do you absolutely have to go to the bathroom before going to bed?
Yes, absolutely. Otherwise I'll get up within 5 minutes feeling as if I didn't go to the bathroom for a whole day and I weren't going to survive for another 10 minutes.
