7. That's a toughie. As of right this moment, however, it would be the fact that I never worked in any capacity with Joss Whedon.

Huh. Interesting. I would have expected something more like "I never got to play Othello/Lear/Shelly Levine", but OK.

Some enterprising playwright is going to have a lot of fun combining the tragic characters of Othello and Shelly Levine.

After all, Desdemona is for closers.

Ok Mr. Richmond, I'm game..

Um, I don't think I am who you think I am--Mr. Richmond is available at fractalbase and drbasscat. Even if I were Chris, since your comment was left anonymously, coming up with relevant factoids based on common history is incredibly difficult.

Yours, I was thinking about.

3. Rule 276: The funniest tent is the yurt, followed by the tepee and the wigwam.
4. Every nephrologist I've ever dealt with has been at best a bit smug, and at worst, a tremendous prick.
5. Rather sadly, just that there was a girlfriend-unit orbiting Cubby. Couldn't even tell you when. That's no comment on you, of course--I'm lousy at remembering first impressions unless something outrageous happens.
6. A polar bear.
7. Does it bother you that I'm compelled to kiss your husband every time I see him?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Very nice.
No, Steve is very kissable. I'm surprised that more people aren't compelled to do so.

7. This is an interesting question I'll answer in three parts.

Part the first: the country road
I was driving up a hill when I was, oh, seventeen or so and a Sanford & Son/Beverly Hillbillies-looking truck came barreling down in the opposite direction. Shortly before we passed, a large slab of lumber fell out the back. I rolled over it and skidded to a stop. Had the lumber fell seconds later, I wouldn't be typing this today. There was also an incident with a packed car and a bunch of high school friends going fast enough over a railroad track to get air from a Buick. But I never thought about that too much. I think, for some reason, I've always thought I'd die alone.

Part the second: immortality
Between, oh, March of 2000 and perhaps May of 2001, I was immortal. Seriously. No one could have touched me then even if they tried.

Part the third: adulthood
I think when you really accept you can die any day, you are an adult. Which is to say, I became an adult watching Sandra go through the first of her hospital stays at roughly the same time her mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The most compelling moment, however, was two years later when Bernice passed. Chris Rock once said you don't know anything until you've lost a parent. I saw Sandra go through it, but I've yet to lose one myself. So while I can't claim to know anything. I at least know that I don't.

Good question.
