What do you look for in a friend? Someone who is him/herself regardless of whether or not he/she'll be liked because of it; preferably someone with a sense of humor, someone who doesn't treat their friends as possessions/trophies and someone who doesn't lie or isn't hypocritical. Liars and hypocrites are my biggest pet peeve.
What would you do if a friend betrayed you? It depends on the betrayal, but since this has happened three times in my life (with the same person) I can speak from experience when I say I'd cut them off from my life, give it time, re-evaluate the situation and if I see that both she and I were at fault in any way, I'd give her another chance, until the betrayal became too much for there ever to be a reconstruction of trust.
:: This or That
Leader or Follower? Neither. I can't follow worth a da** and I don't like the idea of leading my friends... what's that quote again, "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend." Yup, that one applies.
Listening or Speaking? Both, communication should always go both ways.
Going out or Staying indoors? Staying indoors, I always say the fun you have is determined by the company you keep, not the places you go to.
Partying Out all Night or Just Hanging Out in One of your Homes? So not the partying kind, so one of our homes wins by default.
:: You As A Friend
Do you prefer your friends to be like you or different? I like friends that are different, you kind of learn from them, but it's always nice to have friends with similar interests, just not too similar or else I'll feel like I'm competing against some evil twin.
Would you say yes to a favor before knowing what it is? Nope. No matter the friend when a favor is asked, I always say, "Depends." I can't say yes to something I might not be able to do and then feel bad about it afterwards.
When asked for advice, do you say what they want to hear or what you know they should hear? Both, I always do both and I always let them know which is which. I tell them, "this is what you want to hear and this is what you should hear" so they can start making the distinction in their mind of what they know is delusional thinking and what is realistic thinking because there'll come a time when I won't be there anymore for me to make that distinction for them.
Your friend tells you she/he is about to do something that you think it's stupid or simply suicidal. What do you do? I tell them they're being stupid and suicidal, probably curse them to different parts of the universe for refusing to listen to my advice and once I realize I can't persuade them to listen to me, I ask them if they need any help *facepalm* It has happened before.
Are secrets kept safe with you? Yup, but there is one flaw in that contract I always warn my friends about. If they tell me a secret about something that's hurting them and I can help them by telling someone, I most likely will (unless I can help them without telling someone) even if they hate me afterwards, they'll thank me once they're okay.
:: Where And How You Hang Out (no more than three)
When you eat out, where do you go? Quick and cheap food, mostly the Chinese places where they serve a plate for like four people (but considering my friends' stomachs, 4 becomes 2).
When you just go out, where do you go? Anywhere with a nice shade, when one of them has a car I always nag until they take me to the "Passive Park", a nice quiet spot with a big park and an ocean right in front of it.
When they come over your house (or vice versa), what do you do? Either lock ourselves in my room (being lazy, talking, poking around the computer) or watch a movie, though eventually we just take a walk around the neighborhood...
:: Personal Memories
Mention one friend you'll never forget, and why? Shawn. We're still friends even though he moved, we keep in contact (and he's coming to visit me and his mom in the summer, yay!), but at least once a day a random comment or situation reminds me of him. I used to hate him when I first met him because he was so loud, noesy, too social, too happy, too... everything, but then he kind of grew on me and became the ONLY friend in my entire LIFE who never lied to me, betrayed me, belittled me, forgot about me and most importantly, didn't kiss my butt or tell me what I wanted to hear just so I would like him. I trust that boy with my life.
Mention one comment from a friend you'll never forget, and why? Sylvia, in High School, when she said "Only you would've cared enough to notice." She and I (and a few others) were at our usual spot (on a sidewalk under a tree) when two guys we knew started arguing, about to start a fight. They were right in front of where she was sitting while me and the others were standing on the other side of the tree. I called her to me and she stood up, asking me, "Yes?" I just told her I didn't want her there in case those two idiots decided to tear each other apart. She smiled, hugged me and said that comment.
:: Twilight
Who in Twilight would you most get along with, why? I think Alice. She's so easy to talk to and always so optimistic, it's really easy to get lost in optimism with her (which we all need a bit of), and even if she were to drive me crazy with her too cheery moods, I'd learn to adapt.
Who in Twilight would you least get along with, why? Jessica. No question. I don't like opportunists who only hang around you because it's convenient for them and also, hypocrites are not my thing.
Your best friend tells you he/she is a vampire/werewolf. What's your reactions? I'll probably laugh, say "And I'm a witch" and when I notice that they're actually serious, I'll ask them to prove it since saying they're something is one thing and actually being one is another. After they do prove it, it'll probably take me a few minutes (maybe an hour) to process their information after which I'll probably say, "Cool. But just so we're clear... I'm not meal ticket, right?"
:: You As a Random Twilight Character
Imagine you're a random character from Twilight who used to be really good friends with Bella until Edward came along... What do you do? I'll probably feel peeved the first few days, kind of bothered by the fact that I was so easily set aside for someone else, but after a few days I'll probably understand and definitely won't blame her. The world doesn't revolve around me and it doesn't change the fact that she's Bella, I like her, and as long as she considers me her friend, then the feeling will be mutual.
You see Edward in a jewelry shop, obviously thinking about getting something for Bella. What's your first reaction? I'll wonder if he needs help picking something... maybe I'd try to help.
Bella tells you about her situation with Jacob and Edward (minus the detailed supernatural details), what's your advice to her? Tell her it's not unnatural to love more than one person so it doesn't make her stupid or bad, just really unlucky because it makes the choosing all the more difficult, but in the end she has to pick the one she can't be without. I'd ask her if she chose Jacob, would she be thinking of Edward? Would she feel bad if Edward found someone else? And vice versa, would she think of Jacob while with Edward? Would she feel bad if he found someone else? You can love two people, but in different ways and different amounts, there's always one who you really can't let go of, regardless if he lets go of your first, it's up to her to find out who that is.
Alice approaches you with an invite to yet another Bella-centered party, what's the first thought that comes to your head? Bella must be digging a hole for her to bury herself in...
