1. Not a fan of restraint and restrictions, so I would live well having no pressure of jail. I'll take jail for 30 years and then release. At least I can workout in jail and when I get out listen to music until my last days.

2. love and lose baby! it's worth it. at least that's what the media tells me.

3. blind, perhaps it'll heighten my hearing?

4. ugly and rich - i'm assuming i had to work hard for my money and in this capitalist society beauty can be easily swayed. Besides what can beauty really bring you?

5. modest living and family - nothing beats the company of others. no bond is stronger than blood no matter how hard it is to resist.

6. 5 truly close friends - isn't your significant other the same thing except you're both attracted to each and are having sex? Why not just eliminate some of that and get 5 sweet friends.

7. morbidly anorexic - story of my life, lived this many years might as well keep going ;)

8. addicted to gambling - at least there might be a chance of coming up on top, although i guess that the odds would be higher for that if i was addicted to sex.

9. historically known - if the cliche history repeats itself true, i would hope i was remembered for something charitable and that others would follow suit. (please give me my mr. universe trophy now.)

10. I would love to know all 3, but I would have to stick with what I know, music - especially since I'm blind I wouldn't be able to appreciate the other two.

11. Interest completely unknown, because at least you have potential. You never have the cards in the beginning of the relationship but that risk is worth it. Too bad we live in Orange County and those opportunities are far and few.

12. Hard to say. I wouldn't judge them because I essentially would be judging myself. I wouldn't want to marry myself so maybe you're on to something.

13. Yes, it would be worth it, if as long as I knew before dying I had helped in a great cause. It better be a fucking great cause, not just this Live 8 shit.
