10. Do you act differently than you feel (concealing your true thoughts)? Ooh, yeah.

25a. What would you do if someone else attempted to (or successfully did) kill under the wrong circumstances, what would be your reaction? Okay, this is getting in a little too deep. I would find out why and the reason behind it. I can't exactly judge someone if I've done wrong myself so I would have to look at what's presented and go from there.

32f. Do you belong to an anti-government organization? No. I stay away from them.
32g. If so, describe the group and its aims. n/a
32h. What form of government do you believe is the best (democracy, monarchy, anarchy, aristocratic rule, oligarchy, matriarchy) and why? Despite my views being shaken, I still think that democracy is the best form. I wouldn't have my freedom to choose otherwise.

33h. If so, by whom and with what intent (to murder you, to force your return through blackmail or coercion, to spy on you and make sure they do not reveal any of the groups secrets)? Um...now I'm getting a little paranoid. These guys know where I live.
34a. Do you have any unusual habits or dominant personality traits that are evident to others? Just my calm demeanor, I guess. Nothing too remarkable and after that last series of questions, I'm starting to get paranoid.
34b. If so, describe them and how you acquired them, as well as when they might be more noticeable and what causes them? How do you think? The people that snatched me up have eyes in the back of their fucking skulls.
34c. How do you react if made fun of for any of these things? Nice. I'll walk away. Getting mad doesn't solve anything.
35a. Do you have any unusual or nervous mannerisms, such as when talking, thinking, afraid, under stress, or when embarrassed? My hands shake and I start to stutter.
