1. Hell no.

3. That's private, thankyouverymuch.

***

1. If you were to be drafted into fighting for a war going on in your country, would you comply or find some way to resist it, even if it meant doing so illegally?

3. How old were you when you started having crushes on people of your preferred gender?

1. If I DID leave, I'd feel guilty about the other people who, like me, had to, but had stayed. So I'd comply... begrudgingly.
2. I'd try not to.
3. I've had little crushes since around the age of four, I think.
____

1. Am I mature for my age...?
2. ... or am I just being pretencious?
3. Did I spell "pretencious" correctly? (i don't think that i did)

1. I don't know your age, so I couldn't say.
2. I can never remember what pretentious means.
3. You're asking the wrong person, but it seems Firefox thinks you forgot a "t". I suck at spelling.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

3. Do you set a timer if there's something you don't want to do but know you have to?
2. What is the next holiday you're REALLY looking forward to?
1. Do you like using tablets for computers instead of a traditional mouse?

1. When drawing, absolutely! I have a Wacom tablet that I like a lot. But for normal use, I usually use a mouse (or the touchpad on my MacBook).
2. Easter.
3. Does an alarm clock for getting out of bed count?

1. The people are interesting, and there's lots of good conversation. Plus in this thread people actually ask thought-provoking questions (sometimes) and that's rare on message boards.
2. I guess last year, probably. Though it was a very small snowman.
3. Not quite. But if you want, we can take a bathroom break now if you can't hold it until we arrive.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. On a scale of 1-10, how busy are you?
2. Do you make the bed in the morning after you get up?
3. What's the best meal you've ever personally cooked?

1. No, I don't see much reason to.
2. I haven't got a job yet.
3. I didn't much like the music, in the first place.

1. Yes. Nobody seems to care.

2. I liked science and technology and more or less 'rolled into it'.

3. No, he ruined it before he went utter nuts.

I. No, but I definitely watch more Star Trek Voyager episodes.
2. Not necessarily expensive things, but I have experienced a sense of ease after some shopping and an hour at some nice café accompanied by a brownie and a latte.
3. I prefer that to drown my sorrows in booze.

------------

I pass on tsa's questions. I can't come up with any right now.

1. No, I eat less when I'm sad.
2. Not usually, though sometimes shopping can bring me out of a bad mood.
3. I guess when I'm sad, I tend to make it worse instead of trying to find something to make it better. Which really sucks, and isn't a good way to do things.

-----------------

Let's go for those questions Round 3.

1. I most certainly can.
2. You're known as the wannabe killer of The Thread.
3. That depends on the time signature.

1. What kind of lighting do you like inside your place?

1. Anything but fluorescent. F00king ugliest kind of lighting ever invented.

2. Whistling's for losers. Learn the damn lyrics and croon til they swoon!

3. Century Gothic - stylish, sexy, and always available for birthdays, weddings, and bar mitzvahs.

*********

1. Are you an ass kisser or constructively honest?

2. How good are you at dealing with social faux pas (whether by you or someone else)?

3. Do you avoid someone after they've honestly stated something that cuts very deeply into whatever deep seated beliefs you hold?

  1. Are those my only two choices? I certainly don't kiss ass, but there are times when constructive honesty does not behoove one.
  2. Good. I'm one of the first to step forward to take the sting out of a social blunder, whether it's mine or someone else's. It's all about cadence and recovery.
  3. I have the capacity to tolerate someone who's done this because I try to respect other's beliefs, but it really depends on the subject trodden upon. Certainly, such occurrences tender my relationship with the person.

* No. However, if that did happen I would actually become a bit provocative (out of curiosity) and make it so that I 'accidentally' bump into them and then say, "Specksie! How good to see you! You know, if I didn't run into you just now I would've sworn you've been trying to be mysterious lately. So how are you?"

* Yes. My sister-in-law. Because she's a hypocrite and a neurotic. But the worst thing is that she uses her belief, Christianity, as an excuse to judge people through her insecurities. She is the one who insulted my dad in front of us. At his funeral, when he was in no state to defend himself. Almost everyone in my family can't stand her, especially my sisters. And they basically let it be known.

* No, but I at least want to know why they don't like it, just as much as I would want to explain why I may not care for anyone else's musical preference.

*************

1. How do you expect to feel more enriched this year?

2. If you could actually live a game you recently played, what game is that and why do you choose it?

3. How would you deal with things if you suddenly became famous?

1. 2008 will be a difficult year for me. I have to make some tough decisions, and probably go through some difficult experiences, and I'm sure I will learn a lot about myself this year.

2. Myst (online). I love that game so much. It's so incredibly beautiful and detailed. Every time I go there I discover something new.

3. I'd lock myself up until the interest of the crowd has shifted to somebody else.

------------------------------------------------

1. Is there a person in your life of whom you only have to think to feel all warm and happy inside?

2. Is there a thing in your life of which you only have to think to feel all warm and happy inside?

3. Is there a moment in your life you only have to think about to feel all warm and happy inside?

1. At the top of my list is Nanay. She has been an anchor for me in many ways and I'll always feel I don't deserve her. That stated, there are many others besides her that make me smile from the inside out.

2. That thing would be.....me. I think I merit this now in my life - without an ounce of conceit, but with every ounce humility and honesty - to say that it's ultimately up to me to feel good, to feel happy, to feel strong, to feel progressive, and to feel alive. No one else can do it for me but me - with, of course, the support and encouragement of those who love me and who I love. And that makes me feel all warm and happy inside.

3. Yes. That moment is the moment that's often just around the corner.

***********

1. Be honest, how do you actually feel about how you look in terms of what you can control?

2. If you were suddenly granted a position of great power would you accept or decline, and why?

3. What would you do if something you had always believed in deeply were suddenly proven wrong?
