2) Do you like your name? - eh.
3) What other names were your parents going to name you? - i was always going to be rachel; however up until the final drive to the hospital, i was gonna be rachel elizabeth. and i recently found out that although they never really thought i was going to be a boy, if i HAD been, i probably would have been named AARON! god no.
4) And if you were born the opposite sex? - fuck you.
5) What is the most annoying name? - mike. definitely mike.
6) What is the most attractive name? - i have given up my name addiction and am living clean. it is not the names but those who wear them that matter. that said, guys who wear the names alex and ryan tend to rule.

8) How often do you wash/bathe? - at LEAST once a month.
9) Where do you shave? - leggies and underarms, though infrequently because i am lazy.

:: You and Others
1) Who is your best friend? - rorpie!
2) Why are they your best friend? - because she is roolz.
3) Do you have many enemies? - no, although in the past several months i've found myself increasingly unafraid to be rude to people who piss me off, so maybe someday!
4) Do you find it easy to get on with other people? - yes and no. i mean, i am very polite and try to always give the benefit of the doubt and am good at staying calm and being civil even if i don't want to. however, i basically think that everybody sucks and anybody who interacts with me closely learns how difficult i can be.

10) Do you talk to your neighbors? - no.
11) If you see an accident or incident, do you inquire about it? - i haven't in the past because i always felt i would be of zero help, being that i am not very strong, know nothing about cars, and did not own a cell phone. in the future, when i am driving again, this may change.
incidents never happen around me. oh god that song.
:: You and Love
1) Are you in a relationship with anyone? - I am not.
2) If so, do you think he/she is 'the one'? - Um.
3) If not, are you currently looking? - "fuck looking." Word. But I must add - for the past year or so, I have felt that not only did I not need a relationship, I was probably better off without one. I had, and still do have, a lot of issues with love and sex. I've even recently developed some new ones. But I am beginning to feel almost ready to open my heart again.
4) Would you ever have an affair, and why? - I'm really more of the homewreaker type.
5) Do you agree with casual sex? - NO THANK YOU.

10) Would you ever marry an 80-year-old millionaire? - "if i was in love with 'em." right.
11) What is your age limit for relationships? - in general, the 1978-81 crowd is a big hit with me, but barring true love I think I would feel weird with an age gap bigger than 8 years.
:: You and Life
1) What do you want as a future career? - I don't even fuckin know, dude.
2) What are your ambitions? - happiness and love and art.

4) Believe in growing old disgracefully? - what?
5) How would you want to die? - tragically.
6) How would you want your funeral? - Like the chick's funeral in O Pioneers, complete with Ave Maria and somebody having some sort of crazy revelation in the middle of it. My other funeral song is Find the River by R.E.M. and I want "in time of daffodils" by e.e. cummings printed on the program or something (ideally engraved on the tombstone but that would be very expensive) and I want everybody to be very sad that I'm gone.
7) Would you kill yourself if a loved one died? - I don't think so. I'm pretty anti-suicide.
8) If you had one last request, what would it be? - "Make it happen."
9) If you only had a month to live, what would you do? - travel like a wild thing, hunt down my old loves and talk to them, tell people how much they mean to me, write something to leave behind. "just trying to leave behind something beautiful before we're gone" - the velvet teen.
10) What is the point of life? - to love.
11) What are you living for? - hope.

7) Online dating? - To be avoided religiously.
8) Adultery? - you go to hell for that shit, man.

11) Self harm? - Terrible.
:: You and Situations
1) If you could save only one person from a burning building, your favored parental figure or a doctor with the knowledge to cure a disease such as HIV or cancer, whom would you save? - I would be all Matrixy and save BOTH.
2) If you (or your other half) were expecting a child, but were told that due to unfortunate complications, only the mother or child could be saved, which would you let die? - child.
3) If you were trapped in a lift that was about to collapse with a elderly lady and a young boy, who has the right to escape first? - "the young boy. he'd be faster, then maybe we could all get out." right.
4) How would you react if you came home and caught your best friend cheating on your trusted other half? - probably not very well.
5) Would you sacrifice your own life for a loved one or family member? - maybe. I don't really value my own life like I should.
6) Would you ever donate any of your organs to anyone, either a loved one or a total stranger that needed it? - I guess it would depend on the situation.
7) Would you ever abort your own child, or place them up for adoption if they were disabled or unplanned? - possibly.
8) If your best friend's other half was cheating on them, and you knew, would you tell your friend, or confront his other half? - "confrontation first, then go from there." yeah.
9) How would you react if your own child was a murderer and placed on death row? Would you campaign for or against their life? - being that i am EXTREMELY AGAINST capital punishment in any case, fuck yes I would campaign for their life.
10) If a family member or loved one were killed either through an accident or murder, would you demand justice, the killer's death, or try and forgive them? - see above. just thinking about the death penalty makes me mad.
11) Finally, if you were called up for war, would you go for your country, or refuse and face jail? - you know, I think it really would depend. I remember in AP US history, we were doing this "imagine it's WWII" thing and Ariel and I were freaking out because of Catch 2002/World War 3 1 2 (long story) and see R. Not Noble was Yossarian and he said that if he was living in that era he probably would enlist willingly because he didn't really know any better and the climate was very different then...and I was like you are the best Yossarian ever swoonyswoonerton. The point is, what if the Nazis were rising up again? In a way I think it's beautiful to fight for something you believe in, and if I really believed in the fight, I very well might. Until recently I didn't think that I would, but I don't think I'm as much as a hippie as I thought I was.
Of course, most plausible situations would be bullshit and I would not want to fight for them.
