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?
Probably looking into someone's eyes while I'm talking about how I feel because it is SO hard for me to put into words how I feel to begin with. I'm so used to keeping all that shit to myself, so when someone makes me actually use my words, it is difficult.
2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?
I honestly can't remember, so it obviously was over something stupid. I don't generally get REALLY angry anymore. I used to growing up and didn't like the feelings it gave me, so I forced myself to stop.
3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them?
Ooh. It's a tie between my dad or my youngest brother. I would want my brother to know that I loved him so very very much, but he wouldn't be able to relay what I would want him to tell everyone else in my life very well, I don't think. My dad would be better for that I think.
4. You are at the doctor’s office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid?
I would only tell a few close people. Just so that they know and can prepare for it, but I might not do it right away because I want my remaining month to be filled with love and laughter. I wouldn't want them to cry and pity me when they looked at me.
5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust.
Loving people and not trusting them vs trusting people and not loving them.
I'd almost chose trust over love because if you can't trust the people around you it will eat you alive and make you feel absolutely shitty. Trust is pivotal for any relationship. Platonic or otherwise. It is so important. I choose trust.
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 take the time to save the dogs life? Why or Why not?
Sweet Jesus this one is hard.
I wouldn't want to get fired, but I can, theoretically, always get a different job. That dog will never exist again.
7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?
Neither?
Ugh. If I absolutely had to choose, I'd rather be hurt by the person I loved. You could probably find a way to make a relationship work with them again, maybe find some kind of understanding again. Whereas if the person I trusted the most hurt me, I'm not sure you can earn that back as easily. That would be a hard one to come back from.
8. Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say?
I don't really like any of my best friends in this manner so I would just have to let them down easy.
9. 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 up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not?
I would. It would be for my grandma. I think my mom would do the last month differently, get out what she's always wanted to say. I'd give my mom an extra month with my grandma.
10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?
I would think so.
11. Does love = sex?
It doesn't equal sex, no. But I do think sexual intimacy is a part of love.
12.Your boss tells your coworker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your coworker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company? Why or Why not?
In my current situation right now? No. I have to support me. It's sad and I would love to be able to help the employee out, but I earned my time at my job. I need the money, too.
13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person?
Oh boy. I'm not sure. Probably with Joe making me talk about how upset I was over New Years.
14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite/same sex, you love them or that you do not love them back?
I've never had to tell someone I didn't love them back. But I have been in the situation where I said I love you and didn't really mean it. It would be so much harder for me to tell someone I didn't love them.
15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?
My friends.
Without them, I'd be nothing.
16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you?
Emily, my best friend. :)
17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why?
Nothing really. This year has been going great for me so far.
18. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?
Of course. They are dying. I'd give anyone CPR in that situation.
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. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your rationale for making the decision?
I hate these difficult situations.
Putting aside all emotional ties, the baby would be the one to save as they have their whole life ahead of them while my grandmother has led a long life already. And knowing both of my grandmothers, that is how they would want it.
20. Are you old fashioned?
In certain things, yes.
21. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?
That's kind of my motto. I do that all the time. If you expect something in return every time you do something for someone, you're not a nice person.
22.Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?
True love. The happy memories will be worth it.
23.If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?
I wish I could give people the things they really need. Not what they want, what they NEED.
