Getting to know me...

Aug 14, 2006 00:00

Stolen from a variety of websites: The first 30 questions are probably the more interesting. I ran out of steam, and the questions weren't that great in the second one anyway.

1. Age?

20

2. Sign and date of birth?

Sagittarius baby, December 20th

3. Do you find it easier to write when you are happy or upset? When do you write the most? The best?

I find it easier to write and I write the most and best when I'm happy. When I'm upset or angry things don't come out too well.

4. How tall are you? Do you like the height you are? If you had a choice of either being tall or short, which would you pick?

I honestly don't know exactly how tall I am. I believe I'm around 5'6 +/- an inch or two. I have no problem with my height. I would rather be short then tall. I mean tall people can't really drive small cars, they sometimes have to duck their heads just to get into a door, and god, too much of a hassle.

5. Do you find that making new friends is easy and are you the one who usually takes the inititive? Expand on your feelings of this subject

I don't make friends easily at all. Normally, someone has to approach me first, and then I have to give myself some time to actually decide if I like the person or not.

6. Do you feel like you relate better with others who have been through similar trials in life as you? Explain

Hmm, I guess everybody to some extent relates better to people that have had similar lives as them. I mean it's hard to relate to someone if your life is completely different then theirs. That said, I'm not going to shun anybody who didn't grow up in the same type of environment I did.

7. Do you love animals? Do you have any pets?

I love most animals. I hate cats. I love dogs. My dog is the greatest dog in the world.

8. Do you have a quick and bad temper, or are you the type who holds it in and lets it build until something small makes you explode one day?

I let shit build. For a really long time. I don't really explode though. I displace my anger in small bursts at opportune times.

9. What really makes you mad? Expand

I get really pissed when people seem unable to see things any other way then their own. I think empathy is a very important, and I truly believe that if people would pause and try to empathize with others that the world will be a better place. And I know sometimes it's hard, and at times it's stupid. If a guy cuts you off on the highway only a saint would think, "Well maybe he really needs to get somewhere fast." But in the long run, I think of our race would just show a little more empathy, everything would be better.

10. What seems to touch your heart the most? Expand

This is a standard cliche in a lot of stories: two people--coworkers, siblings, spouses, whatever--who are at odds with each other, through a series of hardships come to realize their love for one aother and work together for the common good. God I love that. It may be one of the reasons I love chick flicks so much.

11. Would you say you have had an easy childhood or hard?

Oh boy. Listen I'm not going to bitch about my childhood. I've had it pretty easy compared to a lot of other people. But a few things here and there, I think, would have made my life better. There were some money issues in my family as my mom and dad worked pretty much 12 hours a day so I wasn't able to spend too much time with them. Along with that we moved around a lot at what I felt to be inopportune times in my life. The first time was in 5th grade where I was starting to hit adolescence and I had to make a brand new set of friends (which like I said earlier is not one of my strong suits) at a time when kids start to get mean. The second time was after 9th grade where I had to go to a brand new high school and do the whole thing over again.

12. Do you mind sharing your beliefs with us? Like do you believe in God, consider yourself more spiritual than religious, think that your relationship with God is very private, wiccan, pagan, etc..

I think that there is a higher power out there, but is it GOD? I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes I wonder if I still believe in God and Jesus because at certain times I feel like they truly exist. For example there have been some rough patches in my life where I've prayed and I was hit with a patch of calm and serenity. But the more logical part of my brain says I just can't shake the years of Catholiscm that has been hammered into my head as a young child.

13. What do you feel is the most important thing in life?

I'm going to have to go with friendship on this one. Life is pretty hard, but if you have absolutely nobody to talk to or relate to or share a laugh with, it's hellish. On campus there are a group of homeless people that stay around the most commercial street asking college kids for money. Even those guys stick together, and many times you can see them sitting on a bench together smoking or drinking a 40 they were able to get talking with each other.

14. Do you believe in karma? Expand

I am a firm believer in karma. In the long run, I think the bad things you've done will somehow catch up to you, and the good things you've done will be rewarded. So, for the most part everything balances out.

15. Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, do you have a feeling of who you were in a previous lifetime?

Not really, but it's a pretty neat idea.

16. Do you believe in life after death? Expand

Here's a tough question. Wow. I honestly don't have any idea. The idea of heaven seems awesome. The idea of hell, not so awesome. Living as a ghost just walking around the living sounds boring as hell. And nothingness after death seems to make life seem a bit pointless. This is a huge religious issue, and I'm still not sure what I think about all this stuff nor do I think I ever will.

17. Do you believe in the paranormal? Expand

Not really. I think a lot of freaky shit happens in life, but I think most of it can be explained.

18. Have you ever had a paranormal experience?

Nope. But if we're throwing ghosts into paranormal experiences, I occasionally feel like someone or something is watching me in an empty room, or I'll sometimes feel something walk past my room or something and it always freaks me out.

19. Do you feel like you're a very intuitive person? Do you have psychic visions or dreams?

I think I'm a pretty intuitive person, but I don't have psychic visions or dreams or anything like that. I think after observing people and going through a wide variety of experiences for twenty years I've just been able to guess certain things just out of the blue.

20. What makes you the saddest?

I think loneliness is pretty damn sad. But here's a situation that I think is pretty universal, but maybe it's just me. Two people both would like to connect with each other (and I'm not really talking about anything sexual here), but for whatever reason, none of them takes the first step, or it just won't work out because of jobs, distance, etc., so nothing happens. I think that's pretty damn sad.

21. Where do you live? Write a little about your area

Ok, Champaign-Urbana is a college town. What more can I say about that? Hicksville is your standard town in Long Island. There are a lot of houses that look pretty much the same, and the neighborhood is pretty affluent.

22. Who or what do you most admire, and why?

I don't give nearly enough love to my parents so I'm going to give it here. As two immigrants they worked their asses off to raise my brother and me. They probably made some mistakes along the way, but they never gave up and they did everything they possibly could to make sure we were happy. If I inherited just a fraction of their work ethic and their caring, I think I won't have to worry too much about my future job or raising kids.

23. What is your idea of perfect happiness?

You know those Corona commercials? People sitting around on a beach drinking Corona without a care in the world? That ... minus the Corona because that shit tastes nasty. Basically to be able to just sit down and not have to worry about anything (preferably because you've already accomplished what you had to do).

24. What is your favorite comfort food / meal?

Korean BBQ.

25. How would you describe your political beliefs? Do you socialise with people who hold opposing political views?

I'm liberal, but I don't hate conservatives or anything.

26. Are you ever responsible for the break-up of your relationships?

Always and forever.

27. Be honest here: What would someone you know, who doesn't like you, say about you?

I think they'd say I'm a bit aloof, a bit snobby, and a bit stand-offish. They also would probably think I'm much to sarcastic, and a little mean on the inside.

28. Would you risk your own life to save a non-human life?

I don't know about that. I think if it came down to it, I would risk my own life to save a stranger's life. I'll never know for certain unless the opportunity actually arises, but I think I would. For an animal? I'm not too sure. Honestly, I don't think I would.

29. What single thing would improve the quality of your life?

My life is pretty good right now. Wads of money would always be appreciated, though.
