The Friday Five on a Sunday

[nanila]

1. If the world were to suddenly end right now, what do you wish you would have done?

Finished my beer. [I filled this in on Saturday night.]

2. How many times do you hit the snooze button before getting out of bed?

None. I get up as soon as the alarm goes, and quite frequently before it. Hello, annoying morning person here!

3. What cartoon do you enjoy watching from the present (or the past)?

I still love watching “Danger Mouse” with the kids.

4. If you could go to any time and/or place in history, where/when would it be?

Uh, nowhere, thanks. Things were mostly crap for women in the past, especially ones who had the audacity to have an interest in science. Also, I don't much fancy living in a time when we did not know about bacteria and viruses, and couldn't refrigerate food.

5. If your life were a movie, what would it be rated and why?

I think it would depend on how the filmmaker decided to approach my young adulthood. If they focused on my daytime existence, it would be terribly wholesome and PG as I made my way through getting good marks at university, doing a PhD, and then going off to a postdoctoral position at NASA. However, my evening hours were quite often spent clubbing in the goth/industrial scene along with associated night-time activities, which would immediately turn it into an 18.

Given my life experience certainly an 18 if they did't ban it! :o)

[nanila]

It would certainly be banned in some schools/states/countries. :/ But I hope the 18 also means you have had a lot of fun. 😁

Here are my answers:

1) If the world was to end now, I wish that I lived more, that my anxiety didn't keep me from living my life.

2) Two on the weekends

3) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Bob's Burgers, The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Transformers Prime, Legend of Korra, and Rescue Bots

4) I'm fine in this time and place.

5) R for strong language and thematic elements XD

Powerpuff girls! Thanks for reminding me about that one, the kids loved it and I enjoyed watching with them.

[ragnarok_08]

You're welcome!

I don't want to go back any time in history prior to feminine hygiene products and flush toilets. When I think about wearing 3-4 petticoats over my OPEN CROTCH DRAWERS and straddling the stinky seat in an outhouse, in winter? NOOOOOOO thank you. That's horrifying even if I'm healthy.

[nanila]

Yes, yes exactly. I feel that a lot of people who romanticise the past really haven't thought through the practicalities.

I would like this superpower.

In hard agreement with you. I also have no desire to live through segregation; got surviving family that remember what it was like and that's enough for me.

Living with a night owl, I think that is a superpower. Just can't do it. I want my bed at pumpkin time.

My parents were married when a lot of the USA still had anti-miscegenation laws on the books. I have zero romantic notions about the past.
