Because I love talking about myself....

1. What event most shaped your character?
getting cancer, for the good and the bad.
2. What is your earliest childhood memory?
We just moved into our house and a guy was checking the windows or something... I have no idea, it's fuzzy, but I think I was around 2 at the time
3. Have you ever witnessed a miracle or seen something that could not be explained? If so what was it?
No... I wish
4. Do you believe in God?
I don't know... Yay for being agnostic!
5. Do you believe in the afterlife?
Well, I figure if it doesn't exist, then it's not gonna matter, because we'll just go *poof*, but I like to believe there is some sort of something after all this. We become so tied down with life all around that we forget what an extraordinary thing it really is, and how bizarre. So, why can't there be something just as weird when we die? So, in short, yes.
6. Do you believe in evolution? That humans evolved from apes?
Makes more sense than anything else.
7. What place would you most like to travel to?
Switzerland, because it's so amazing and swiss! The Alps are gorgeous, and I really want to see Lake Geneva. And the fact that there's a statue of Freddie in Montreux also is an incentive, lol.
8. Do you believe in till death do us part?
Uh, sure...maybe....no? Pass
9. Do you support same sex marriage?
Yes, yes, a million times yes!
10. Why or why not?
Because all the reasons why not are bullshit. Normally I try to skirt around the issue and understand both sides, but this is one of those things that if people seriously think that letting gays get married is going to destroy the institution, they deserve a smack to the head. You don't have to approve of gays, but you can't discriminate against them and take away their rights. They're people, too, for goodness sake. Sorry, the AIDS book has me fired up about these sort of things...
11. What changes would you like to see made in our government?
Let's preferably get some dedicated, well-meaning people running it.
12. Who or what was your biggest inspiration in life?
Well, my mantra that I've adopted has been to just love life, no matter what's thrown at you, and I adopted it from my idol, who I'm sure you know of by now, so I guess my biggest inspiration has been Freddie Mercury. Sounds rather silly, though
13. Have you ever had a near death experience?
Naw, I live in a bubble world.
14. Do you believe you can learn from elderly persons?
Of course. I just think of all the wisdom I've picked up just this year, and if you multiply it by 80, that's a whole lot of valuable stuff that you can learn.
15. What decade would you most liked to have lived in?
70's and 80's. The music was hot (Queen in their hayday! That had to be something....), the movies were rockin' (Star Wars! Check out those effects!), and life was pretty damn sweet. (Except for the bits that sucked)
16. What historic person do you most admire? Why?
Not really sure. There's way too many to choose from.
17. Do you think prisons reform people?
No, it just makes them worse (usually). It's an environment where people look at your crime with a positive eye, and criminals shouldn't get encouragement!
18. Do you believe in global warming?
Yes, and if we don't figure out something soon, or do something about it, we're gonna have to deal with some serious reproccusions.
19. Do you do anything to conserve energy, or help the environment?
I try to turn off my lights, and, um... no, not really.
20. Do you think space exploration is necessary?
Totally! It's a source of inspiration in a world that desperately needs it. The world freaked when we landed someone on the moon. We can do that again with, say, Mars. It's the final frontier, and without a frontier to explore, people get tend to devolve and turn on each other.
21. Do you think world peace is possible?
Of course not, but I think it's something to strive for nevertheless. People need to reach out to each other. With technology making the world smaller, we have a tremendous opportunity to learn from other cultures and see that there's very little that actually separates us.
22. Can you concentrate with loud music on?
Oh goodness no. Right now I've got My Heart Will Go On playing, and even that's blocking my thinkings.
23. Do you think reading a book is important?
Totally. It opens you up to so much that you've never know, ideas you've never thought. They can let us dream, and teach us lessons we can use throughout our lives.
24. Who is your favorite author?
Not sure, I don't read fiction much
25. Have you ever read the bible?
Bits
26. Do you ever write in a diary?
Every now and again, mostly for Future me.
27. How important is money to you?
I'm not gonna lie, money's pretty nice to have. With it, you can see the world, you can live confortably, you can afford health care (something that I know is gonna be costly for me), and you can give back with it.
28. What is a perfect day for you?
Taking a drive somewhere, and, with music providing the narration, losing myself in my thoughts. (I'm, of course, not driving, however)
29. What do you daydream about?
Wow, my answer for the previous question flows nicely to this one. Well, typically, I'm doing extraordinary things with extraordinary people. When I grab onto my thoughts, though, I can steer them towards answers, questions, that thing that I should have said, things that I should say, and a wave of complicated pleasantness.
30. What is your dream?
Do something extraordinary (even if it's only extraordinary in my own little bubble)
31. What are you doing later today?
Posting on my blog, I suppose, seeing as it is the later part of the day. Why, want to go out for coffee or something?
getting cancer, for the good and the bad.
