Questions.

1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel?

I find it difficult to maintain eye contact when I’m not the one talking. I think its because I like to visualize what I’m being told and some have mistaken that for an uninterested blank stare.

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. Why were you angry?

I’m rarely legitimately angry. I’m often pissed off by dumb people at work, or dumb people on the road, but that’s it. I threw a spatula across the room maybe a month ago cause I burned myself making eggs. But I was drunk, so I don’t know if that counts.

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You get enough time to make ONE phone call. Who would you call before you die?

Wow, uh, my mother I suppose.

4. You are at the doctor's office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. (A) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? (B) What do you do with your remaining days? (C) Would you be afraid?

a.) I think I’d tell my family and close friends if I knew it was 100% certain.

b.) I would spend time with those I cared about. I’d travel. I’d probably try a lot of dumb shit like skydiving or LSD. I’d have a lot of sex and eat like a king. I’d write as much as possible every day.

c.) I’d like to think I’d be able to come to grips with it at some point, but I’d most likely be scared shitless.

5. You can have one of the following two things: trust/love. Which do you choose?

This question makes no sense.

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late even once more, you are fired. Do you save it?

I just saw video of a man who tried to save a drowning dog and was badly bit on the face cause the dog was so freaked out. So my initial answer is no, but not because I was afraid of getting canned. But really, if your boss can’t make an exception for a legitimate reason like that, then fuck that job.

7. You are unfaithful to your spouse/significant other, do you tell them?

I think you have to, eventually. I can’t see feeling to0 great in a relationship with that on my conscience.

8. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give one year of your life. Do you do it?

Yes.

9. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

Yes. I have my faults, of course, but I think I’m a good guy to have around.

10. Does love = sex?

It can, at times, I guess.

11. Your boss tells your co-worker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your co-worker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company?

Possibly if I was preparing to leave anyhow, or I had something else lined up.

12. When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you feel?

I tell people how I feel all the time, and most of the time its honest.

13. What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you do not love them back?

The latter.

14. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why?

Giving up swearing all together would fucking kill me.

15. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them?

My mom, maybe a week ago on the phone.

16. If you had to go back in time and change one thing, if you HAD to, even if you have "no regrets" what would you change?

It would have been nice to take some time off during the latter part of college and travel around a bit, instead of plugging through and developing a intense hatred of school. Probably would have gotten a little more out of my last year.

17. Imagine. It is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?

A professional bodyguard.

18. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying?

Yes, if no one else could.

19. You are holding onto your grandmother's hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other which one would it be?

I suppose the “right” answer is the baby cause they have much more life to live, but really that’s an impossible question.

20. Are you old fashioned?

I have no idea.

21. Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a heart break or have never loved before?

Tis better to love and lost, right?

22. If you could do anything OR wish anything, what would it be?

Peace of mind.
