~Questions~1) What are three things you look for in a great friend?
The ability to keep up a conversation, God knows I can't. Intelligence, I need friggin' mental stimulation that I never get anyways. And the ability to understand. I do things sometimes and get myself in some crazy shit. I won't give a real reason- I'll lie my ass off to their faces without a tinge of guilt. But I need them to understand that I can't help that. I lie naturally on instinct. I do and say things that come out the wrong way. I push people away, but I also expect them to be close. You've gotta have some pretty thick skin to stick around me long.
2) What do your current friends mean to you?
Honestly, I'm not big on the "Oh, I'll do anything for my friends", "I love my friends" deal. That's not what I do. There are two people that I care immensely about, but that's it for friends. I am close to other people, but really it doesn't affect me much whatever the hell they do. I'll care and all, but to the extent that my personality allows. I'm more focused on myself- and it's very conflicted.
3) If a friend asked you a favor would you say yes to them before knowing what it is?
Like hell I would. Normally I'm pretty good at doing stuff for other people- I love to! But it does depend on the task. If I'm not in the mood to do it, I won't do it. If I don't think it's right ethically and morally, I won't do it. Simple as that.
4) Most of the time do you prefer your friends to think and act like you? or think and act differently from you?
I really don't care about this. I choose friends based on specific characteristics- not overall personality. Besides, if they were all like me, you could hardly call them "friends". We'd be starting the next World War.
5) What is one thing that annoys you so much about people?
One thing? That's tough. Almost everything annoys me about people. I guess I'll say Clingy-ness. I'm confident, a leader, and a dictator- people follow by my damn rules. But that's when they get dependent. I'm "pretty and smart", so they come to me for answers, to confide in, to be around. What bugs me the most about it though is how much they're around me. I can't take that in well. I remain a very independent person, of which I enjoy being on my own. Too much people-time in one day wears the hell out of me. Besides, people should stand on their own. If you rely too much, especially on me, you'll get screwed over in the end.
6) What would you do if close friend betrayed you?
Betrayed as in how? I don't see what the big deal about "Betrayl" is. I have faith that my closest friends never would (Even if they did, we'd reconcile eventually, because one cannot live without the other two). I don't care much though. I'd be like "Alright, that's nice. Have fun." to whatever crap they pulled. I'm fine on my own, and I'm willing to retreat to my reclusive ways in an instant. I do hold grudges.
7) Are you able to keep secrets?
To a point. Sometimes I'm so desperate to shake things up into chaos that I let things slip. I talk to my parents all the time- they know my friends inside and out. If I didn't have someone to bounce this off of I'd burst. It's stupid to confide your most precious secrets in other people- they're prone to temptation like lustful creatures. It's not surprising when it gets out. If it is indeed something serious, I won't hesitate to not tell, and I'll keep my trap shut. But if it's dangerous, I also won't hesitate to tell, regardless of what happens.
8) What are some of the places you like to go to the most?
Old places, historic places, beautiful nature scenery, arcades, bookstores, mall, movie theater... I'm fine at a lot of places. But others make me unnerved. I'm a little bit picky.
9) What are some of the things you do with friends?
There isn't much to do in Delaware to begin with, so we try and make the best of it. I don't get out and hang out much because it wears me down, but with my two special friends- we can do anything. Just sit there in silence and be totally content, all curled up with one another. Usually we see a movie (I.. always end up spilling half the popcorn. ON ACCIDENT!), hang out in the arcade... but usually my house is the place to be. My family is warm and friendly, so everyone loves them, and we've got all sorts of stuff to do.
10) If you could choose, would you want your friend(s) to be more:
A. Patient or Impatient? I don't really care either way. I'm able to cope with either easily.
B. the Outdoors or Indoors Type? Indoors.
C. a Leader or Follower? Leader- otherwise I'll be the only one taking charge.
D. Confident or Modest? Confident. I don't care how much, but it can't compare to my own.
E. Brains or Brawn? Brains, for mental stimulation.
F. a Listener or Speaker? Speaker. I don't like being the only one talking.
G. Calm or Energetic? A happy medium. I can't deal well with either of them.
H. Mature or Immature? Mature, immaturity is pathetic.
I. Controlled or Impulsive? Impulsive, sheerly because I am too controlled.
