...where we try to slip back into the blogosphere silently

I realize I've been M.I.A. for over three weeks. Many apologies. I don't have an excuse of any kind, except maybe blogger's block. But I'm back, and I'm not gonna disappear again without giving you a heads-up.

Since I'm not one to do anything with a bang, least of all a comeback, I'm doing the tag I was tagged with twice, by pseudo and sia. However, since I'm not a big fan of tags I'm not tagging anyone else. This tag dies with me!

The rules for the tag are:
RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Denial, I guess. Of her betrayal, and of our relationship. If she's truly sorry, I might take her back.
2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
Dunno, probably one where I beat Schumacher in a Ferrari on a wet track!
3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
A lot of people I know, but I don't want to name names. Plus hooligans with those tricked out exhaust pipes that sound like they're driving a piece of heavy machinery.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Buy my own Formula 1 team! And use what's left over for research into alternate fuels.
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
I already did, sort of. And it's a very tricky situation when that happens.
6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved, of course. As long as it's not some weirdo stalker-type. I'm not gonna be a martyr for love!
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?
Till the seas curdle over and the sky falls on my head (hey, if I'm gonna be a martyr I'm gonna do it right!)
8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Walk away, with "Raindrops keep falling on my head" playing in the background. (yep, I'm one for filmy situations!)
9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?
Rational education for everyone. Everything else would fall in place if people could just think.
10. What takes you down the fastest?
Emotional pain. Whether it happens to me or anybody else.
11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
I hope its in some sort of career related to science and the media. And hopefully in a relationship of some sort
12. What’s your fear?
Being told that all of my self-doubts are actually true.
13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
(Considering that I've been tagged twice and I know pseudo personally, I'm just going to write about sia) Peppy, vibrant and wants to speak her mind. At least that's what she's like in the blogosphere.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
depends on how rich is rich and how poor is poor... :D
15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Lie in bed silently cursing the fact that I have to wake up.
16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
Somewhat unlikely, but everything else being equal it'd have to be the one I can connect with better.
17. Would you give all in a relationship?
Totally. Eventually, you find out that that's the only way.
18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
I might forgive, I probably won't forget. I would most likely try to block the whole thing frm my memory.
19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
A relationship for sure. I'm needy! :D

And that's all for now. I'll be back soon at a computer near you!
