Friday Five

[jenepel]

Why do the "real" Friday Fives always suck and yet  adinarj has good ones?  (Yes, I know she is picking and choosing, but still...)  ETA: I just realised this was one of the "real" ones - I'm dumb!

1.  What was on your mind yesterday?
The logistics of my upcoming move and how little time I suddenly have before I start my new job.

2.  What is on your mind today?
Taxes.  People were very unprepared today - I kept having people come in and realise they didn't have enough paperwork.  We were calling the States right and left.

3.  Do you like bonfires?
I love them.  I love Guy Fawkes night - I always try to be at my parents's house that weekend so I can go to the village bonfire.  Also, when I was a kid, it was so exciting every month or so when my dad had enough yard stuff together for a bonfire.  We would have a few of our friends over to spend the night and roast marshmallows on it, and it always felt like a celebration.  I love how you can smell bonfires in the air, and you are like "oooh, someone has a fire tonight"!  This is mostly village memories from growing up though - I don't really get it in London.  Wow, that was a lot about a throw-away question!!

4.  Do you believe in the paranormal?
No.  And I'm glad I don't because otherwise it would scare me.  (Ok, it still kind of scares me, but I can rationalise it away.)

5.  Can you swim?
Yes.  I haven't in a while, but I'm a pretty strong swimmer.

I wasn't implying that you cheat! (Although, seriously, it's a meme, how exactly can anything be cheating?) Anyway then I noticed this was the current one, just from the other site.
