# RELATIONSHIPS
Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? I'm better these days, but not so much in the past. I was different to just about everyone, so I pushed people away to protect myself.

Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? I'm the Mayor of Gaysville.
Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. Somewhat touchy subject. My first kiss was with a girl when I was trying to pretend I was straight to get my dad's attention. My second kiss was a strolen hate kiss by a closeted dude who bullied me and threatened my life. My first real kiss was out of this world and beyond anything I could ever anticipate. It was tender, it was warm, and it was more than I could ever dream for. An the first of many more, thankfully.
Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. Yes, I have and all I'm going to say was that some people would eat their hearts out to have a first time like mine.
# DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

Do you like to drink on a regular basis? I'm still under age, so it's rare. I'm not a huge fan, I prefer to be sober.
What sort of alcohol do you prefer? Cocktails or alcopops.
Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? I've smoked weed and I hated it. I didn't like the feeling of being out of control and it made me as sick as a dog.
What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Really, really not a fan. A whole lot of reckless stupidity, as far as I'm concerned.
# LIKES AND DISLIKES
What are your hobbies? Anything fashion, shopping for fabulous bargains, singing, dancing, music, cooking.
Do you like to read? Reading it one of my favourite things to do, especially relaxing with a good book after a long, hard day.
What annoys you more than anything else? Homophobia and ignorance.
What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Snuggling with my boyfriend, or shopping.
What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Embarrass me directly, or secondhand embarrassment? I don't like being insulted, I don't like being judged for my personal choices, such as not following a religion, I don't like being laughed at or mocked for trying my hardest at something.
# FAVORITES
What is your favorite color or colors? Anything, so long as it doesn't clash. I have a spring palette, so anything in blue suits me the best.
What is your favorite time of day? Morning before anyonething has had the chance to piss me off.
What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? My boyfriend.
What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? I tried to eat well, but I'm a sucker for junk food when I'm bummed or depressed. Cheesecake is a particularly evil vice for me. I'm not a fan off too much grease or spicy food.
What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? Anything that isn't going to ruin my hair or my outfit. I hate being stuck in a car during torrential rain, the type you have to pull over and wait because you can't see a foot in front of you.
OUTLOOK
Are you optimistic or pessimistic? I'm optimistically pessimistic. Let's just say I don't suffer fools, and I believe things when I see them.
What are your religious views? I don't have any, I'm Atheist.
Would you be able to kill? Not murder, but I have never been able to nail my views on euthanasia.
What are your views on sex? I used to be a bit of a prude, but it was just because I lacked the required knowledge. Now I love it, but I'm definitely a completely 100% monogamous person. Casual sex would never be my taste.
What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Family, love, ambition, and never changing who you are to suit others. Work it and own it.
# ACTIONS
What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? The best thing was meeting the love of my life. The worst thing was letting communication break down between us, causing me to nearly lose him.
What is your greatest regret? Being afraid to tell my dad I was gay. Things could have been so much easier on us if I hadn't tried to hide.
What is your best/worst memory? Didn't I answer this above?
If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? I would keep my mom.
What are you the most proud of doing in your life? Overcoming my fears and learning to be proud of exactly who I am, and helping others do the same.
# EMOTIONS
How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? It depends who the others are. I can be quite guarded in how I respond to people. I play my cards close to my chest a lot of the time. The people closer to me have better access to my true feelings and emotions, whereas strangers will often get a masked response.
Do you have any biases or prejudices? Oh, absolutely. Who doesn't? If you're a teenage slut, I'll judge you. If you try to shove religion down my throat, I'll judge you. If you're a homophobic asshole, I'll judge you. I'm not even going to pretend I'm an angel, who doesn't have things they disapprove of?
What makes you happy? My boyfriend, my family, my friends, my favourite things, being alive, being me.
Who or what, if anything, would you die for? My boyfriend, my family, and my friends.
What makes you angry? Homophobia, racism, sizeism, ignorance, arrogance, religion (which is why I stay indifferent).
# RELATIONSHIPS
In general, how do you treat others? I try to be nice and accepting, but I can't lie... I do have my bitch moments, but they're mostly born from being treated like crap from other people. Tit for tat.
Who is the most important person in your life, and why? I have two, and for very different reasons. My dad, who, for most of my life, was the only person I had. And my boyfriend, Blaine, who loves me and taught me how to unconditionally love in return.
Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Blaine, as repetitive as I probably sound. He suffered so many hardships to still come out being exactly who he is. He is amazing and he taught me so much about courage and belief in myself, even if it's not always been an easy road.
Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. Yes, I do... obviously.
Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? All of the above. Plus, I trust my family and friends. I know they would protect me unconditionally, and vice versa.
# GROUP SITUATIONS
Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Oh hell, if I believe in something enough, bring it, bitches. I'm not going to sit there and get walked all over. I'll stand up for what I believe in, and if it brings conflict, so be it.
Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? I guess I do sometimes, but it's not intentional. I just usually offer a different way of looking at things.
Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? No. I like performing for them, but interacting with a lot of people is a different story. I prefer my own little crowd of people I can trust. And even then, I'm not always sure I can trust all of them, so that's enough for me.
Do you care what others think of you? I wish I didn't, and I try not to, but it's a hard lesson in life to learn. There is always someone you want to seek approval from and it hurts when you don't get it.
What do you think of others, in general? The simple philosophy my mom instilled in me, treats others how you want to be treated yourself. You treat me bad, it will take a lot for me to give you the time of day again. If you don't bother me, I'll respect you until you give me reason not to.
# SELF IMAGE
What is your greatest strength as a person? Being myself. I like myself now.
What is your greatest weakness? I never seem to get what I most hope for, so I'm trying to figure out what this is. Probably a lot of things I'm doing wrong.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Nothing anymore.
Are you generally introverted or extroverted? An introvert that's good at acting extroverted.
Are you generally organized or messy? Organized. Mess gives me heart palpitations. I wanted a dustbuster for my tenth birthday. Say no more.
# BELIEFS
What God or Goddess do you find most appealing, if any? Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert.
Which God or Goddess do you fear, if any? ... I'm not even going to bother with this one.
Do you have any Gnosis Marks? If so, how did you receive them? Are they like hickies?
What lengths would you go to to please your deity? I starte Facebook appreciation pages. Does that count?
Where do you draw the line at pleasing your deity? What is too much? Reading the bible. I did use one as a doorstop once, though...
# LIFE & DEATH
What do you absolutely live for? Life.
What is the best part of life? Love, and fashion.
What is the best part of death? Are you serious?
If you could choose, how would you want to die? In the middle of the Marc Jacob store in Italy surrounded by cheesecake and making love to my man.
