(8.) If a bunch of people who knew you got together and your name came up in conversation, what would they say about you? This is just something I overhead while I was running around Texas Roadhouse crushing peanut shells with my tennis shoes. "Tracy's just one of those people that can never be depressed." I have no idea what they'd say if I wasn't there at all. They'd probably start a pool over how long until I trip and fall whilst walking across flat ground... again.
(9.) What and who are the most important things and people in your life and why? Oooh... okay, that's gonna take a minute or two of thought. Hmm...
(10.) How do you spend your free time? I have ridiculous amounts of free time because it's summer and I'm in high school... most of my team is spent either carousing the Internet or running around outside with my soccer ball.
(11.) How do you feel about school? Uhh... well I go to a private Catholic school X_X I really don't like it and I'd go back to my public school if I could. There are no people there that are interested in the same things as me, no one interesting enough to keep my attention, and definitely too much homophobia for me to even THINK about coming out.
(12.) What is the first thing people notice about you when they meet you aside from what you look like? I am generally really quiet when people first meet me, but once I get a feel for a person I can tell what kind of jokes they'd appreciate... Well, actually, they'd probably think I was a big ol' dork =o)
(13.) Seeing 2020 - Pretend it's the year 2020. Tell us about your life in 2020. Of course I'm a supremely rich and famous novelist/screenwriter/journalist and I'm dating Alex Parks and... yeah, yeah, just kidding =D Hopefully... 2020 I'll be married to an amazing woman with a job that I love - journalist by day, novelist by night most likely. I might have kids... depends on what my wife wants, but I don't really care either way.
(14.)Please give us your thoughts on at least 2 of the following:
Gay Marriage: Surprise, suprise... I don't understand why people are against it. It's just making a public, binding claim of devotion and monogamy to the person you're in love with. Churches won't have to perform ceremonies (besides... Separation of Church and State, anyone?). It won't open the doors to people marrying their pet dog (and why wouldn't heterosexual marriage inspire someone to do the same? Dogs have no legal bearing!) I could go on and on, but you've probably heard all of this before =)
George Bush:
Abortion:
Authority:
United States Of America: I dunno what has happened... I can't remember the exact time that the States went from what I saw as a promised land to someplace I want to leave as soon as humanly possible. I think the shift of power to George Dubya has taken the States in a political turn that I really, really don't like. The people in power have heads that are way too big for them, and the huddling majority of Americans drink it all up.
(15.)NOW, your pictures:
Notice how I'm wearing the same hat in all three pictures... I really love my hat =)
