5 questions in regards to 26 topics - each starting with a letter of the alphabet:

ABC's
A - Accidents
01. Have you ever been in a car accident?:

A fender bender, yes.
02. Do you have a lot of scars?:

One or two.  My shoe-pirate one’s disappeared, sadly.

03. Have you ever been in a fist fight with someone?:

Nope.
04. Have you ever seriously hurt anyone by mistake?:

I once stepped on Neen’s stomach when she was lying on the floor when I was little. :P
05. Have you ever had stitches?:

Yup.  Last year this time I had stitches in me hand when I got my mole removed.

B - Beauty
06. Do you consider yourself beautiful?:

Hardly, despite what other people tell me.
07. Are you self conscious of how you look?:

#6 should answer that. :P
08. Do you put on a lot of make-up?:

Interestingly, I wear practically NO make up now compared to a few months back.  Now I just wear the stuff to get rid of my skin’s redness every so often. 
09. Would you ever consider getting plastic surgery?:

Never!  It has the word “plastic” in it…that’s just disturbing.
10. What do you think makes a person beautiful?

I actually have no idea.  :S  Maybe…not knowing they are?  Because people who realise they are tend to make a big deal of it and that makes ‘em less so.

C - Consequences
11. What was the longest amount of time you've been grounded for?:

Being “grounded” is something like “going to camp” or “getting an allowance” - something that, in my mind, only happened to kids on tv. :P
12. What would you do if you got pregnant, keep it or have an abortion?:

Keep it, no questions asked.  No way I'd have an abortion.
13. Do you ever think about how your actions affect other people?:

If I didn’t then maybe I’d have to consider question #12 more seriously. :P
14. What do you think is the worst punishment someone could give you?:

I’m not going to tell you!  Then you’d just use it against me! >:|
15. What is one thing you wish you didn't do, just because it wasn't worth it in the end?:

Be so melodramatic about…well…everything?

D - Dealing
16. When you are mad at someone, how do you show them?: I’m rarely mad enough for that to be the case, but I suppose I just give ‘em dirty looks.
17. Name a time when you had to be strong:

This past Sunday.  Didn’t really happen, though.
18. Have you ever dealt with a divorce or parents fighting?:

Fighting with each other?  No, not really.

19. When people at school don't accept you, or have problems with you, how do you react?:

I am currently out of school, but in university I usually kept to myself as it is, so I didn’t mind.  In high school I was surrounded by the Herd and also didn’t really care if people “didn’t accept me.”  Oddly…despite my nerdish/geeky leanings…people were always nice to me.
20. Have you ever lost someone to death?

Aside from my budgie Joey, who was the closest thing to a younger sibling to me, not anyone too close to me.

E - Experience
21. Have you ever had a job? Any volunteer jobs?:

Yes to both.
22. Do you think that you are sexually experienced, or not at all?:

Despite my jokes, I’m no hooker. :P
23. Have you gone through a lot emotionally, or has life been easy thus far?:

I think my tendency to get melodramatic makes things seem more emotional than they are.  So it hasn’t been “hard,” per se, but it hasn’t been…lacking in its emotional moments, that’s for dang sure.
24. Do you think you are ready to be on your own (have your own home, job, etc.)?:

Not yet.  Maybe in a few years… I’ll be dirt poor, but still. :P
25. How old do you act?:

Ahaha… even though I curse them all the time, I act like a young’un teenager.  I actually discussed this with someone a while back and we came to the conclusion that going by tv-people-standards, we act about the same as…16 year olds?  It’s the Indian-kid-syndrome.  We’re all about 6-10 years behind where we should be! :P

F - Family
26. Is there anyone in your family you don't talk to? Why?:

Lots of people.  Aside from the ones in the house…almost everyone. :P
27. If you had to choose, family or friends?:

I can’t choose.  My family’s my friends and some of my friends are like my family!
28. Can you tell your parents or one of your parents anything?:

At times I feel like I’d be able to tell my maiter anything, but then other times I know…not…quite…anything.
29. Do you have any siblings? If so, do you ever get jealous of them?:

I do and I did.  When they got to go see the SWs hella earlier than me when the SEs came out.
30. How often do you spend 'quality time' with family members?:

According to what I tell my work, at least once a week.  Hey…it’s actually pretty much true.

G - Growing
31. How tall are you? How tall do you wish you were?:

5’10 - NOT 11!!  >:|  Oh wait, I think we finally agreed that I’d be 5’10¾ - Nicole Kidman’s height.  Either way, even if I AM 5’11”, I am sufficiently happy with my height now. :D
32. Do you think that you have grown more in the past year than any year before that?:

You mean in that “grown as a person” sense?  Yeah, I should say I have.
33. As a person, do you think you are mature for your age or still act childish?:

I used to think I was mature and people always told me so… That was until I met certain people who needed ME to be the fun and childish one who buys them toys and makes THEIR life a little less serious… then I realised that - by those standards - I’m not mature at all.  Still, I think I am more mature than some people my age. 
35. Do you believe you still have a lot to learn?:

Don’t know how to cook anything but eggs, do I?  So yes, yes I do. :P

H - Hope
36. Love - real or not?:

For reals, yo.
37. Are you a pessimist or an optimist?:

Ahahahaha…I am the UBER pessmist.
38. Do you believe in fate, that everything happens for a reason, or do you think that our actions lead the way?:

Little from column a, a little from column b - also known as the cop out answer because I don’t have one!

I - Issues
41. Do you suffer from depression or constant sadness/loneliness?:

I wouldn’t say “constant,” but I do tend to get depressed/sad/lonely easily.  Hell, until Nav came online half an hour ago I was reaching the sad-lonely state that leads to boredom and then depression caused by boredom. :P
42. Do you have any type of disease or disability?:

I suffer from being a hypochondriac.
43. Are you currently in a hard relationship or have bad luck with the opposite sex?:

I could be luckier, but I could certainly be more unlucky too.

Rarely

Buses

Depends who the people are, but I have been told I am entertaining, so I guess it’s me making ppl laugh.

Occasionally - the Indian “Thriller” did that to me.

The POTC day.
50. Do you ever get in trouble for laughing or talking a lot during class?:

No, I was one of the wussy kids that always followed the rules. :P

51. The purpose of school:

To make you realise you have no idea how to do anything other than sit in a class when you actually finish after 15 some odd years.
52. Do people refer to you as smart, dumb, or average?:

People seem to think I’m smart.  They’re gravely mistaken at times.  (Need I rehash the POTC day and our inability to understand how to pump gas? :P)
53. What was the highest grade you have received (full course mark)? And the lowest?

Highest in HS - a…96, I think, in Photography and/or Family Studies.  Lowest - 69 in grade 9 math.  Highest in uni - A+ in 2 coures, lowest - B+ in 3 courses.

L - Love

What an appropriate song for me to be listening to when this question comes up - “hogaya hai tuhje ko to pyar sajana…” from DDLJ…Yes…quite the lovely song, this one.
57. Do people around you show you a lot of love (tell you they love you, hug you, kiss you, etc.)?:

Depends on the people in question.
58. Is love worth it?:

Depends on the “love” in question.  If it ain’t gonna go anywhere, then NO.  I mean REALLY!
59. Do you hate it when girls in their young teenage years say they 'love' someone that they've been dating for a few months?:

Depends on exactly how mature they are to be saying that.  Do they really believe it or are they just infatuated?  I think at about 13-16 you’re still not all that sure what’s what.
60. Does it take a lot for you to say you love someone, or is it just a word?:

Takes a lot.  It’s certainly not just a word to me.

M - Money
61. Do you believe that money makes the world go round?:

I would say it does.  It’s very singificant in all of our lives… at least until we all start living in the Star Trek universe.
62. Is your family on the poor side, average, or above average when it comes to money?:

Average I suppose.
63. Are you saving up for college/university, or planning to?:

I already did uni and I continue to save for college.

Perfect person.  We can be poor for all I care.  We’ll be a fantastic family of hobos. :P
65. On a scale of 1-10, how important is money to you?:

6.5 - just to match the # of this question.

N - Naughty
66. Are you a virgin?:

I’d pull the Lex, “What do you think, Clark?” here, but…that leave things much too up to interpretation :P, so I am indeed.

67. What do you think about doing sexual things with someone you're not going out with?:

I think it’s bad!  Tsk tsk!

68. Do you know anybody you consider a 'slut'? What makes you say that?:

Despite taking to Elliot’s “hi slut!”  I don’t think anyone I know is a slut for reals.

Hmm…maybe I’d erase a thing or two…
70. Do you consider yourself more nice or more naughty?:

Well…I’m not just one or the other, that’s for sures.

O - Openness
71. How long does it take for you to open up to someone? Seconds or years?:

Depends on the person.  I’m actually more open than I thought…and bad thing is, I have a terrible memory, so I can’t really remember who I’ve told what to. :P
72. What does it take for you to fully trust someone?:

Knowing the person well enough to know they won’t say anything about secret stuff.
73. Are you generally untrusting towards people because of past experiences, or any other reason?:

I think it’s more paranoia and knowing how much of a gossip I am myself. :P

I’d say when you’re comfortable with ‘em in every other way…and they don’t repulse you.  That helps.  :P

Depends on the specific people in question.

77. Do you agree with the saying: better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all?:

No!  Not at all!  I think you’re screwing yourself over to feel upset about what you had and lost, thinking about it for the rest of your life!

78. Are you more optimistic or pessimistic? What do you try to be?:

Wasn’t this already asked?  I’m a pessmist through and through because I think if you set yourself up for disappointment when something good happens it’s a surprise.  Also, it means other people have to be optimistic and cheer me up. :P

79. Do you agree that something good can come out of everything?:

Not all things
80. Have you ever had a time where something really bad happened, but something really good happened because of it? If so, please explain what it was.:

Well, my tonsils got inflammed to the point where they hurt like crazy and I had to get them removed.  Now I get sick a lot less and don’t sound like Vader 24/7, so that’s good!

Quite often, yes.

No, no and no.

T - Temptation

99. Did you ever want to do something sexual with someone you didn't really know or love? What did you end up doing?:

Nope.  That’s icky.

100. Do you give into temptation easily, or are you more independent and strong willed?:

I wouldn’t say being “independent and strong willed” directly contradicts “giving into temptation.”  I do, in my own words, “lack a little thing called self-control” at times :p , but that doesn’t mean I’m not “independent.”  Confusing question!

Loved ones, definitely and yes, I would.

My sleeping buddies, KJ and Telly.

109. If there was a fire in your house/apartment, what is the first thing you would grab?:

Neen, Mommy and Daddy.  Due to proximity, Mommy first.

110. Do you think past memories and experiences are more valuable than what could possibly happen in the future?:

Well whatever happens in the future inevitably becomes the past, so this is a silly question, really.

111. If you had three wishes, what would they be?:

Happy love, monies (lazy billionaire status), more wishes.
112. Would you rather wish yourself to be happy, or your loved ones?:

Abuse towards animals.

123. Do you think that you have potential to do great things?: I’m much too lazy and apathetic.  I’ll just support other people’s attempts to do great things.

125. Do you think people are generally good?:

No, not really.

Z - Zest
126. Are you currently happy with your life? Why or why not?:

Scared.  I have the biggest fear of the unknown.  I’m usually fine with the changes once I am experiencing them, but knowing changes are to come…HATE IT.  So…the days leading up to September will be interesting.  I’m just glad Dinithi and Nav will still be around…at least this year. :P

As I said, as the laziest of apathetic people, I’m not easily motivated.
