Who was the last person you offended?
Submitted by May.

I have no idea. The people I hang out with aren't easily offended. 
Though I am many people's antichrist, so probably one of them, just by living.

What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.

I'm with Bookmole on this one.  There are so many different kinds of breakups that I'm not sure that 5 songs covers it. And I'm joining this with my lyric of the day, because it seems silly not to.

However, if I need to pick 5, the ones below come to mind.  And I know they're female heavy.  When I think of breakup songs,, I do think of women, mostly because I think they sing about heartbreak better than men.

Sarah McLachlan - Do What You Have To Do (Mirroball Live)

Sarah McLachlan - Full of Grace

These 2 I call the "5/9 loop".  I know I'm in a bad place with someone when I can't listen to any songs other than these 2.  I should have known my marriage was over when Mick and I were both in the "5/9 loop" at the same time.  It actually took me a little over a year from that point to leave him.

Stronger Than Me - Melissa Etheridge

"Well, it's too late then
You could have told me when
Living died;
When passion lied."

Invisible Ink (Inara & Mal - Firefly vid)

"I suppose I should be happy to be misread
Better be that
Than some of the other things I have become.
But nobody wants to hear this tale.
The plot is cliched,
The jokes are stale."

She wants revenge - she loves me, she loves me not

"For all the things I said to her
And all the ways I tried.
And all the things I did for her
Are lost with one goodbye."

What do you daydream about? Is it something far-fetched, or something that might actually happen?
Submitted by lost_in_eternity2207.

Yes. 

I daydream about things that might happen (vacations to Amsterdam and Paris, sex with certain people, etc.) and I also daydream about things that will never happen (sex with certain people, certain others dying horrible deaths, etc.)

That's the beauty of dreams - day or otherwise - they're mine and no one can say they're good or bad, wrong or right.

Which life lesson do you wish you'd learned sooner?

This question smacks of sounding like "what do you regret".  Everything I've done and the order I've done it has made me who I am, so I'm not sure that learning a lesson earlier is something that I can honestly say I wish for. 

What was your first car?

A black, 1979 Firebird.  Loved that car.  There's a photo of me and my friend Jolie sitting in the windows in my senior year yearbook.  If I get a chance, I'll scan it and post it. 

Whose house (besides your own) were you in last and why?

Well, lesseee....
I was in my house, but the one that NSEX lives in and since it's not where I live, I guess it counts, last night because I had to shut the garage door because he went out and didn't close it.  (does just being in the garage count?)
I was in k's, which, while I consider it home (even more than I consider the place I live home) really isn't where I live, on Friday and Saturday.
And I was at the place I live this morning before I left for work. 

A complex answer to a simple question...

What's your ultimate rainy day song?
Submitted by J-Len.

Depends on the type of day.  These are the ones that come to mind right now and can always change.  Because there is no "ultimate" song.
Answer - Sarah McLachlan
Strong Persuader - Robert Cray
A Go Go - John Scofield
Box of Rain - Grateful Dead
Royal Station 4/16 - Melissa Etheridge
Wind Beneath My Wings - Sheena Easton
Darling Nikki - Prince

I'm sure there's more.  And I'm sure that I'm forgetting an obvious one or six.  But those are the ones that come to mind.

What most excites you about the way you're living your life right now?

Woo hoo!  It only took them 6 days to ask a question that there's no way I'm answering fully on a public blog.

I love that I am free. 
I'm excited by the people currently in my life. 
I am excited about the possibilities that exist in new people. 
I'm excited about the plans I have in the works for what I want to do with my life.

Passion excites me.  And for the first time probably ever, I have passion in my life.

And that's all you're getting.  ;)

WTF is up with no updated QOD or Voxhunt for the past week?  It's part of the reason I hit vox first thing in the morning...
Geez, now I might have to come up with something to really blog about.

Bring it back!!!!!

What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?

I recycle what my county lets me recycle.
I take short showers (though I take long baths, and I know that's bad)
I have a short commute to work (though that may change)
I turn lights off in rooms I'm not in (with the exception of leaving lights on for the dogs at night)
I wait until the very last minute to turn either the heat or the a/c on.  I'll suffer for a couple days being too cold or too hot.
I wash everything in cold water & hang a lot of my laundry to dry.
I use the dishwasher for most of my dirty dishes.

I could do more commuting on my bicycle.
I could hang all my laundry.
I could plant more native plants in my yard.
