A time before the mass media, big business, TV and telephones.

1. Falling asleep on my mom's lap in the car (that couldn't happen today!) and acting like I was still asleep when we got home so Dad would carry me in.

2. $100 million -- "it don't buy (me) happiness, but it'll pay 4 the search"

3. Hmmm... Baroque France, as an aristocrat, of course. Don't know why, but I've always been intrigued by that era. I probably was there in a past life.

4. Patchouli. First, it reminds me of Like a Prayer, then it reminds me of my apartment in West Hollywood, and the first candle I ever poured.

5. Losing an immediate family member.

6. Prince. I want to feel what it's like to play Purple Rain on guitar, and to sing it, knowing that I, or eye, wrote it. wink

7. Just let it all go. No room 4 negativity. Oh, and from that cheesy e-mail -- "just because someone doesn't love u the way u want them to doesn't mean they don't love u as much as they can"

GREAT QUESTIONS!
let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark

2. You have only one magical wish. What is it?
World peace. Or at least a record contract. wink

3. If you could go back in time to one particular moment/era in history, which one would it be and why?
Either ancient Greece or the late 70's punk scene.

4. What's your favourite smell and what does it ultimately remind you of?
Lilacs. They remind me of Spring, hope, new beginnings.

5. What's the most unpleasant thing that could possibly happen in your life?
Feeling like I did 2 years ago.

Every time something good comes into your life, someone/something comes to try to take it away. Once you know the cycle, you can learn to work with it.

1. Name your fondest memory from your childhood.
Going on weekend adventures with my father and brother.

2. You have only one magical wish. What is it?
To be financially wealthy. Sounds shallow, but this would be the facilitator to ending a lot of my woes.

3. If you could go back in time to one particular moment/era in history, which one would it be and why?
I'd go back to the beginning of the universe to see what the real story behind our origins/relationship with God is.

4. What's your favourite smell and what does it ultimately remind you of?
Probably the smell of a dewey autumn morning. Reminds me of being a kid, outside playing, not a true care in the world.

5. What's the most unpleasant thing that could possibly happen in your life?
I'd rather not even think about this... let alone utter or type it.

6. If you could live as another person for just one day, which person would it be and what would you hope to gain from the experience?
This probably would change each time I was asked, but either a particular ex of mine to find out just what his real thoughts/feelings/motives were; or an artist like Prince to find out what it's like to have such talent and inspiration.

7. Give us all one piece of advice that you've learnt from your experience in life.
You only live once (not that I really believe this), so live well.

Thanksgiving...and it reminds me of my answer to question 1. heart

5. What's the most unpleasant thing that could possibly happen in your life?

Kindergarten.

2. You have only one magical wish. What is it?
Universal peace

3. If you could go back in time to one particular moment/era in history, which one would it be and why?
Believe it or not, the late 1970's so I could experience the Punk and New Wave era. Those might've been miserable times for both the U.S. & U.K., but I would get to experience some of the best music ever produced.

4. What's your favourite smell and what does it ultimately remind you of?
Nag Champa comes to mind. It's an incense that I use. It's fragrance reminds me of having a laid back good time anywhere in the world.

6. If you could live as another person for just one day, which person would it be and what would you hope to gain from the experience?

1. Name your fondest memory from your childhood.

6th grade, hanging out with all of my friends. It was the time that life was still kinda innocent, and right before things got all pubescent and messy...lol

2. You have only one magical wish. What is it?

Great love--giving and receiving

3. If you could go back in time to one particular moment/era in history, which one would it be and why?

I really like plumbing and modern conveniences, so I wouldn't want to stay gone for long, or go back too far, lol. I'd say I'd love to go to Paris back in the 30s/40s, before the war, hanging with the authors and artists

4. What's your favourite smell and what does it ultimately remind you of?

Pine needles from the Christmas tree, heat radiators (I grew up in an old house) with pans of cinnamon potpourri on them, the scent wafting up into the air--all Christmas smells, smells that equalled anticipation and the unknown and being loving of one another, if even just for the day

5. What's the most unpleasant thing that could possibly happen in your life?

I think about several things with horror every once in awhile, but I think I'm with Byron on this one: I don't want to give voice to it or possibly empower those "dark imaginings". But on the other hand, I don't pretend life is mostly sunshine, so I'm not in denial, lol.

6. If you could live as another person for just one day, which person would it be and what would you hope to gain from the experience?

My first instinct is to be someone powerful, whose policies I disagree with, so that I could make changes and wreak havoc smile. But one day probably wouldn't be long enough to do a really good job of it. So, instead, I think I'd choose to be someone I really have a hard time liking, so maybe I could understand that person better and then have an easier time dealing with them.

7. Give us all one piece of advice that you've learnt from your experience in life.

Just one?! hmmm How about this--you must first give what you wish to receive
