On this day in 1888, Vincent van Gough cut off his left ear. In keeping with that spirit, what's the craziest thing you've ever done?
I'm currently contemplating the idea that I should buy a pack of smoked salmon, a bit of bread, and get through as much of it as I can face for lunch. It's actually seeming quite likely that it will happen.
How often do you do laundry? Do you have your own washer and dryer or do you have to leave your home?
I'm doing the washing right now. RIGHT NOW!
Exciting.
This is my second load today.
The Cure sing “It’s Friday I’m in Love.” What are you “in” on this particular fall Friday?
I'm in bed, working from home.
.. try not to think of cake. This Winter's going to be troublesome. When did I last have cake...? Um... on the weekend? Oh no, yesterday. It wasn't even good cake, but some Teacake from a packet. Tomorrow, I will eat good cake since - alas! - I am working from home. I could really do with some cake today. Maybe I won't have any tomorrow either. or maybe I won't have as much cake as I might otherwise have had. Because, you see, fortunately I not only have calories to think about now but also a BUDGET. Yes, I am on a budget. To buy a house. You know what this means, don't you? Yes!, I can save whatever I don't spend from my budget on clothes... You know, socks, some underwear that isn't two sizes too big since my diet...
or more precisely on these puppies:
They may not be pretty, but damn they're going to do the job. My hands may be frozen and blue by the time I can afford them, and I may have Christmas presents to buy (actually, this might sink my plan) but there's still some hope that I can wear sheep on my hands to help keep these babies warm.
Cake? Baaah! I don't need cake. I need these!
What single event changed your view of the world for the better or for the worse?

That would be when I supported the Kosovo war, in my young naivety, and later found out that they'd used depleted uranium weaponry. Using weapons with long-lasting effects upon the health of the population could not possibly be justified during a 'humanitarian intervention' which this was said to be.
This single event changed me from someone who could support a war into someone who cannot. No matter what justification there is (and there no doubt was in Kosovo), I distrust the methods that are used by the military. I'm not a pacifist, but am someone who welcomes intervention as a last resort and only if done as well and morally as possible. Call me naive still if you wish.
What would you attempt to do if you knew you wouldn't fail?

Precisely what I already do in my dreams with hot men when I become aware of the fact that I'm dreaming. It'd be a shame not to.
Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how?
I've never broken it, no, but it's quite possible that one day I'll wear it out.
