-What do you like about your friends/best friend? that we are all honest with each other and we can spend hours being goofballs and laughing together.
-Would you rather have one close friend for the rest of your life or a group of friends? a group, I like variety and bring around different people and getting different opinions on things
-What awesome traits do you have that should get you accepted into the community? I always like hearing new opinions and I love just talking about things with people. I’m pretty easy-going.
-What three communities are you most active in? I used to be in this community, but I had a really hectic semester a little while ago so I dropped out of all my communities, I think it’s unfair to be in one and be inactive.
-If you could do anything to Flavor Flav, what would you do? I’d just hang out with him and chill for a day. I bet he’s a crazy guy and a standard day with him would be anything but standard.
-If you could have wild sex with any person in the world, who would it be and where? Hmm… can I give two answers? My first one would be my boyfriend, b/c I can tend to be on the shyer side so I’d have to comfortable with someone to truly have wild sex. If not, then I say Jenna Jameson (yeah the porn star), because I’m sure she knows about crazy sex and that’s her job, so she’s know how to handle my shyness and bring out the best in me in bed haha.
-If you could have dinner with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? My uncle Keith. He committed suicide when I was young and everyone said he was the best person to be around, and I’d really like a chance to get to know him.
-If you could kill one person, celebrity or non-celebrity who would it be? I wouldn’t kill anyone.
-If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Ireland and Austria. I’ve heard that both of those countries are beautiful and I’ve just always wanted to go there.
-Favorite childhood memory: Every Sunday when I was a kid, my mom would make a big breakfast and I’d always wake up to my dad blaring the Beatles on the cd player. I’d go downstairs and my dad would dance with me and we’d sing together.
-What are your views on...[pick five]
Self-mutilation-
Gun Control- I think that if you do own a gun you need to keep it locked up in a place that children can’t get access to it. Also, not only do you need to child-proof your gun, but you need to gun-proof your child and teach them about violence and make sure they know that violence isn’t a good thing. If you think violence is a good thing then maybe you shouldn’t own a gun.
Abortion: IF someone wants an abortion I support them fully. There are many reasons why someone would want to get one, and if they feel that it is the best choice then they deserve the support because it’s not an easy choice to make. I personally, could never get one because I know I wouldn’t be able to deal the emotional consequences of having one.
Internet dating: As long as you’re cautious and safe about it, sure. My cousin met his wife through an online dating service and they are the perfect couple. She’s an actress who does theatre and she’s in tons of commercials, and they’re the most normal couple ever.
Substance abuse: Well, it’s an issue in my family and there’s so much I could say about it. I think it’s a disease and I don’t believe that people can become sober unless they want to. It’s heartbreaking to watch someone go through substance abuse and it’s hard to get them to change. I’ve grown up around it and I deal with it now, not myself, but still in my family. I just hope that when I have a family of my own that I can teach my children to stay away from drinking and drugs, and that sooner or later the issues in my family now can be resolved.

"One nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance In my high school, we had the choice whether or not to stand up and say the pledge of allegiance in homeroom or not. If we didn’t want to, we just sat there and continued talking. I think it’s such an old tradition that it shouldn’t be changed. If the school has such an issue with it, then just don’t have the students say it. I think it’s kind of crazy all this religious deal in high schools. Problems like these are never solved because religion issues are so ingrained in people. Schools are doing a lot these days to teach kids about all the major holidays for every race and I think that’s a great idea. I’ve heard people say that schools shouldn’t talk about any holidays at all, but where would that get us? We’d be creating a close-minded youth who won’t learn about other holidays and traditions and they’ll grow up thinking the whole world believes in everything they do.

-What do you want to be when you "grow up", or if you are already grown up, what did you want to be when you were younger?: I’m studying to become a Special Ed teacher.
-What is one of your hobbies that you really love and why? I do scrapbooking which I really like. I love taking pictures. I also have music on no matter what I’m doing.
-Name three of your interests: reading, finding new art projects to do, music
-Something you know now, that in retrospect, you wish you'd known "then"
I definitely wish I could back to when I was a sophomore in high school and tell myself “life goes on, and gets better, trust me”
-Inner most desires: hmm, I definitely wish I was more talented as a writer and artist. I also desperately wish u could sing well, cuz sing all the time, but not very well.
-Describe yourself in 5 words: fun, sarcastic, creative, caring, easy-going
Top three books that you feel were written about you and why: well a lot of the books I read are either murder mysteries or things that clearly aren’t me. I guess I’ll explain 3 of my favorite books and why I like them. If you don’t accept that for an answer just let me know.
Book 1: Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs
Author: Chuck Klosterman
Explanation: It’s a book of essays about random things in pop-culture. Chuck has the same writing style as I do, and he has the same sarcastic sense of humor. I thought that it was just a very well written book for what it was.
Book 2: How to Make Love Like A Porn Star
Author: Jenna Jameson
Explanation: I admire her because she has no convictions and no denial about the person she is and what she does. Most people in the porn industry say how they didn’t grow up wanting to be a porn actress, it was their last resort, but Jenna said that when she started in the business she wanted to be the best at it and she knew that’s what she’d be doing as a career. She doesn’t hold back anything about her life and her past, which was pretty brutal, and she’s very blunt and upfront. I admire people who can be confident and back what they do when the rest of the world ridicules them for it.
Book 3:

Explanation:
Top five songs that make the soundtrack of your life and why Wow, only 5? I’ll do whatever comes to mind first then.
Song 1: Crush
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Why: Just describes how I feel when I’m in love
Song 2: All Hail the Heartbreaker
Artist: The Spill Canvas
Why: This song narrows down my relationship with my ex-boyfriend. (I am happily in a new relationship now, as of 2 years)
Song 3: The Middle
Artist: Jimmy Eat World
Why: When I first heard this song back in high school it just made me relax a little and the lyrics just reminded that everything will be alright.
Song 4: Wish You Were Here
Artist: Pink Floyd
Why: Personal song. When I was growing up my dad used to play this and it was our own tribute to my uncle who passed away.
Song 5: Quit Your Life
Artist: MxPx
Why: reminds me of my boyfriend.
Top three movies you should have starred in and why:
Movie: Chasing Amy
Why: One of my alltime favorites. I think Kevin Smith is brilliant and I would’ve loved to be part of this cast. I love the story line and I like the honesty and humor in the film.
Movie: Closer
Why: Because the film portrays the honesty and brutality of infidelity, which is what it is in real life. People cheat and hate each other for it, some people cheat and try to forgive and rekindle what they had, and it doesn’t work. People can be deceiving and the characters in the film did a great job showing the angles of failing and deceiving relationships. I’ve been in a relationship where I’ve been cheated on and I could feel every emotion.
Movie: The Devil’s Advocate
Why: I’m always fascinated with anything regarding religion because it’s such a trivial and debated topic. I love seeing how it can be portrayed and viewed. I loved Al Pacino as the devil and his bitter and sarcastic way of portraying that role.
-Do you consider yourself unique? Why? Well everyone’s unique, but in the big picture I’m not all the unique and I’m not gonna make up some cheesy reason why I am unique. There’s probably some other 20 year-old brunette girl out there who loves reading and movies and music and wants to be a teacher and took dance as a kid and did all the other normal things I’ve done. I’m okay with the fact that I’m not overtly extraordinary.
-What are some characteristics you admire in yourself & why?
I admire that I have no regrets and that I treat everything as a learning experience. Regretting something gets you no where, it took me a while to learn that, but I think I’m a much better person now that I feel that way.
-Are you tired of filling out this survey? nope
-Is it worth it? I think any situation that causes you to look at your life and yourself is worthwhile. Everyone needs a reality check now and then.
-If we give you no's, will you bitch and cry about it? If you do, do you care that we might ban you because you obviously didn't read the rules? No, I’m filling this out knowing that I’m gonna be rated. You can’t win all the time, right?
-How did you hear about this community? I used to be in it
-Please take this time to rack up some brownie points and kiss our asses.
I think I’ll take the Wayne’s World approach on this one:
“I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy!” hey groveling counts.
-Word Association. Answer with the first word or phrase that pops into your head
Barney: is a dinosaur
Neck: hurts right now
Fickle: pickle…which led me to think of Little Rascals “I’ll sell you a pickle for a nickel” “How bout 5 cents?”
Freedom: braveheart
Sky: Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Suffocate: I think family guy and stewie trying pull a plastic bag over his head but it won’t go over his head cuz it’s misshapen
Run: snow patrol
United: Airways
Wind: big cheeks
Fire: Jimi Hendrix
Cave: man, like the Geico commercials where they insult cavemen (anyone know what I’m talking about???)
