SDF user, christyotwisty, has phosted her monthly 5 questions for the month of May.[1] Here are my responses: COT: How would you describe sleep to an alien? xiled: If the alien understood English, I would describe sleep as the essence of me exiting the vehicle and venturing to the place that transcends while the vehicle is in the shop for diagnostics and repairs. COT: What in your opinion is a fascinating cultural tradition or practice? xiled: Fascinating cultural tradition...Halloween/Dia de los Muertos. Embracing the living, remembering the dead. Costumes, candy, and calaveras! COT: What's a beverage you loved, but was discontinued? xiled: Josta. From wikipedia: "Josta was a soft drink brand that was produced by PepsiCo and the first energy drink ever introduced by a major US beverage company. It was marketed as a "high-energy drink" with guarana and caffeine. " COT: Have you ever experienced a "healing crisis" or withdrawal symptoms while recovering your health? xiled: Well, I did go over the handle bars of my mountain bike several years back. I was jumping the curbs on the driveway aprons and did not anticipate the compression from the shocks on my forks. This was my first bike with shocks on the front forks and was used to fixed forks. The rebound had me flying over the handle bars and gravity had me smashing my shoulder into the pavement. The gas station attendant phone an ambulance since she saw me go down and not get back up. Nothing was broken, just a bruised ego and a b0rq'd shoulder. I had to go through physical therapy to get my shoulder re-aligned. The shoulder never went back to how it was and my collarbone juts out underneath the skin. Lately, I've been having to go back to doing the shoulder exercises and bringing out the door pulley since there is shoulder pain and the misalignment is noticeable. I don't want to lose my range of motion. COT: Have you recently had a rediscovery? xiled: I have rediscovered the joys of playing video games. I am still allowed to play them even if I am biologically an adult. Life shouldn't be so serious to not be able to enjoy playing video games. I also rediscovered that I was not going to die today so I better get back to the land of the living.
