Write Anyway

The chef is taking a day off from the kitchen and all the kitchen’s patrons are left to fend for their own!

So today you have the Friday Feast a la Write Anyway. I do hope you enjoy it, as it’s a beautiful Friday here in Australia and I would hate to have my day spoiled by someone not enjoying it.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!

On to the feast!

Appetizer - If you could change your first name, would you? (Pretend that you would have been born with that name so you wouldn’t have to fuss with paperwork.)

I don’t think I would. I’m not exactly keen on my name, but it is unique compared to many names - especially with the French spelling. It also means “I love” which is kind of how I define myself as a person - loving. There is one name I might consider, but I’d rather name my future daughter it.

Soup - If you could have a brand new car, a brand new computer (laptop or desktop), or a brand new house - all for free - which would you choose and why?

I would choose a new house. The man and I are renting right now and the housing market here in Australia, frankly, sucks the big one. We won’t be able to buy for years if things keep on as they are. I would love a place that was truly our own.

Salad - If you were a punctuation mark, which punctuation mark would you be?

I would have to be an ellipsis. AKA, the … I feel like I’m always going somewhere, but ‘where’ is never quite sure until I arrive at the destination. I also feel like I’m ’suspended’ in one or more areas of my life at any given time.

Main Course - What is your meaning of life?

My meaning of life is to learn about everything I can. Learn what it is to truly live, truly suffer, truly love. Learn what it is to exist, what’s beyond the ‘bubble’ of my life, what I can do to help people who need it.

Dessert - Name your favourite characteristic about your partner. If you’re not with someone, what characteristic is essential in someone you have a long relationship with?

I absolutely love the fact that my husband is intelligent. I’ll be honest - he does make me feel dumb sometimes - but he knows a lot, teaches me a lot, and we can have excellent conversations.
