If you had a crystal ball that could tell you the truth about any one thing you wished to know about yourself and your life, what would you ask?

If I start smoking every day, will I get lung cancer or have a stroke?

It bugs me that I'm depriving myself of so much pleasure when I'm probably going to die of something else anyway.

Where does ThePinkSuperhero get these questions? Does she have a book or access to a secret website or is she, too, using a magical crystal ball?

That thing that I keep hoping will happen but hasn't happened yet--should I keep hoping, or just give up?

Will I ever win the lottery? Because if not, I'll stop buying the tickets now and spend the money on chocolate instead.

That's not a question about your life, mgl! That's a question about mine! Off with your head!

What am I really looking for?

Do you mean something about myself and/or my life that has already come to pass and I'm unaware of the truth of the matter, or can I ask a question about my future? I'm going to need a definitive ruling on this.

Where the hell is the case for my glasses?

What? I really need to find it.

What does God want me to do with my life NOW?

I've always really wanted to know whether Shakespeare's plays were really written by Christopher Marlowe. When I was a child, and still believed in Heaven, I thought that I would ask God that question when I got there. For some reason, it has always really bugged me.

I'd love to know if my daughters grow up happy and well adjusted, or if my attempts and thoughtful, wise parenting are just my own way to damage them the same way I and others like me have been damaged. I so hope I'm doing well by them.

what if I had accepted tenure in Leon University in 1990?
(just because I think my temprament is way more latina doesn't mean I would have been happier, right?)

I so hope I'm doing well by them.

The very fact that you even worry about this is pretty good proof that you are.

Would I be better served by settling down to a career with good potential and laying away money for retirement now, or am I going to be okay even though I've been goofing off since graduation and don't really plan to change that anytime soon?

will i always be alone?

posted by meeshell 28 February | 18:42

I'd have a hard time choosing between:

- Is there life or something after death
- What day will I die
- How will I die
- Will I die before or after the mister

I'm sensing a trend.
