A One Question Test

June 29, 2007 | 5 Comments

This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

———————————————————————————————————
THE SITUATION:

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.

You’re trying to shoot a career-making photo. There are houses and people swirling all around you, some disappear under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

———————————————————————————————————-
THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer. Somehow this woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It’s Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You only have two options. You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful women (in her mind, at least).

———————————————————————————————————–
THE QUESTION:

Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer…….

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Friday’s Feast burp

Appetizer:
How many pieces of jewelry do you wear most days?

Four. A diamond ring, two small gold hoops in my ears, and one long gold chain with 2 very special charms on it.

The necklace is a Jeanine Payer creation called the “Darla” necklace. One of the charms is a beautiful red tourmaline and the other is a silver heart inscribed on the back with these words: “Utterly human, divine and awake. ~ Laux “.

It means a lot to me and it keeps me grounded when I am feeling a little iffy.

Soup:
What is your favorite instrumental song?

This has been one of my favorites since I was a little kid:

Young-Holt Unlimited ~ Soulful Strut

Salad:
Who has a last name that you like?

Chevy Chase. I’ve always liked that last name and if I was ever going to use an alias that would be one of the components.

By the way, did you know that Chevy’s real full name is Cornelius Crane Chase?

(Hahaha. Poor bastard.)

Main Course:
Name a popular movie you’ve never seen.

An Inconvenient Truth… Passion of The Christ… Borat… Shrek…

A whole bunch of them, really.

I’m kind of choosy about what I allow in my brain sometimes. And there’s nothing worse than sitting through an entire film and then wishing you had spent those two+ hours doing something more productive. I’d rather read a book.

Dessert:
Fill in the blank: Nothing makes me ___________ like ____________.

Nothing makes me satisfied like too much of a good thing.

Happy Friday, my friends. May the weekend bring you an abundance of good and satisfying things!

:flowers:

Here’s a new goodie for you or someone you love — a lil’ patriotic and just in time for Independence Day!

I’ve titled it “American Beauty” and it’s made with:

~ Dozens and dozens of petite, white freshwater pearls
~ Small pieces of hand-faceted iolite, in lovely shades of blue
~ Little machine-faceted garnets, in a deep orangish-red
~ 14kt gold-filled beads, findings, and C-clasp

The finished length is 21 inches and it would look terrific on any American Beauty, of any age.

(Also wonderful on beauties of other nationalities as well!)

On sale now in my jewelry shop: www.infinitepink.etsy.com .

Midweek malarkey.

How long has it been since you saw the word “malarkey” used in a blog post?

Damn straight – it’s brilliant! Come to Infinitepink for the good stuff – the extensive vocabulary and literary genius! *ahem*

***********

So I made the full circle today, as I went back to Dr. K for my weekly appointment and told him what the other docs said and that I started on the new med.

Heh. Like The Pillman hadn’t already called him and yadda-blah-yadda-ed all the details anyway. You know they do that.

And then they probably laugh and say… “Hey, guess what I’m doing right now?”

And they are doing this on the other end of the phone:

:cuckoo:

I mean, how could you not do stuff like that if you were a shrink? Levity and derision would be the only way to keep the crazy from sinking into your own brain some days. A way of distancing yourself from the whack-a-doos. The batshit psychos.

The ones who are as mad as a monkey on a trike.

Or me.

***********

And now for something completely different. Let’s play…

Can you guess the songs titles that match these images?

(Answers are in the comments section.)

**********

Ok, Paris has now been out of jail for 12+ hours now. Here she is coming out of the prison.

I’m so proud of her! I think she has really changed for the better. Or at least she’s gotten off to a good start.

How so?

For the first time in her life she’s actually covering her crotch.

Our little girl is growing up. :wink:

Late night scribbling.

I saw The Pillman on Monday and we had a long discussion about my current state of mind, recent mood swings and the fact that my anti-depressants seem to keep fizzling out on me.

He listened carefully, shared a lot of information with me, and then confirmed the Bipolar II diagnosis. I really dislike crying in front of anyone, but I sort of lost it for a moment as his words sunk into my brain. It sucks hearing you’ve got another “condition” to cope with.

We decided to have a go with a mood stabilizer.

I’m feeling kind of mixed about it – (imagine that). On one hand I hate the thought of another label and another medication. On the other hand, if this diagnosis is correct and the medication works as it should – things will get better and I can get on with my life.

It just feels like such a failure again.

I know that’s not true, it’s not a failure to have an illness. But apparently I also have a problem with being hard on my imperfect, human self. Or so I’ve been told.

Anyway, if all goes well and I don’t break out in some heinous rash that a few people get on this medication, I should start feeling the positive effects in about 2 weeks.

In the mean time I am ordered to stay away from high places and deep water.

(I don’t think he was talking about diving boards.)

*************

Now, in news that has absolutely nothing to do with me, because, come on, it’s getting pretty boring …

Paris Hilton is getting out of prison today! :yay:

I haven’t talked about Paris much since she’s been in the slammer. When I saw pictures of her actually broken down and sobbing as she was being hauled back to jail, I …

Well… I felt sorry for her.

I know, I know! Stop looking at me like that.

She’s still a spoiled, ignorant twat – but I simply can’t laugh at anyone who is truly frightened or hurting, and she looked like she was. Heaven help me, I even felt a twinge of pity for Saddam Hussein as he was fidgeting on the gallows with a noose around his neck.

I promise I’ll start raggin’ on Paris when she goes back to acting up again. And you know she will.

*************

Speaking of terrorists and celebrities and such, did you know that Al-Qaeda’s very own Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (may he sizzle in Satan’s hibachi) has a half-sister running around in America, spewing her own special brand of nonsense and propaganda?

It’s true! See?
