From the altfriday5:

1. What things do you do even though you know you'll regret it later (e.g. drink a caffeinated beverage, stay up late)?

I wouldn't say exactly "regret"; more like "face consequences". Consume milk. Say yes when I'm overbooked (I do this less lately, but I still do it). Stay up late (again, I'm better at this now than in the past).

2. Why do you do them?

Because I'm a grown-up and sometimes I decide the backlash is worth the doing of the thing.

3. What things do you *not* do even though you know you'll regret it later (e.g. exercise, clean your house)?

Hmm. Not much of this. I think I've pretty much cured myself of the "I should be doing something else" syndrome. I do a lot. I don't have to do it all.

4. Why don't you do them?

See above.

5. What strategies have you developed to help yourself do the things you should, or not do the things you shouldn't?

I remind myself I always have a choice about what to do, and then I just cope.

You sound so incredibly healthy. No wonder I worship you. ;-)

Hey, you're gonna make me blush!

Busy tomorrow? We're having stonebender's birthday/book-organizing party, and we could use another hand or two from someone cool. :-)

Damn! I know you think I'm NEVER going to show up for one of your events..but I will...I promise. I just got asked to do a show in Portland and have to knock out 25 pieces on my days off. I'm working at the Mosaic Institute now so have to squeeze in this stuff on weekends, plus all of the laundry, et al. I'm very sorry to decline because it sounds like a blast. Keep asking, ok? One of these days I'll come. I want to, and I mean it.

SO utterly not a problem, I promise. We'll manage it this year, even if we have to meet at 11:59pm on 12/31. :-)

I should print this on a card and put it in my wallet so I can re-read it whenever I need to (often).

I was thinking maybe I need to tatoo this on the back of my mousing hand so I can look down and see it all day long!
