I think it's time for another one of these.

1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

20

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Never trying

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like and like so many things we don't do?

Because we have to if we are to feel secure.

4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

Yes

5. What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?

To have him love me.

6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

Writing

7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

A little bit of both.

8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

I probably wouldn't due to fear.

9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?

A very high degree, lately.

10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

Doing things right.

11. You're having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?

Probably sit there like a cow that's been hit in the face with a shovel. It would probably hurt me more than the friend. Then I'd probably be a smart ass who gets up from the table and says, 'Hi, this is a close friend of mine' and have her sit down and be all wonderful like she is and make them all feel like idiots. Yeah, that sounds nice.

12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

RUN. That's not good. Umm... read. Read all the time. It will get you everywhere.

13. Would you break the law to save a loved one?

Yes.

14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?

Not yet, though last time I answered this I hadn't done a lot of these and now I have, so I expect I will soon.

15. What's something you know you do differently than most people?

I harass people I love who hate me. It's a very reckless tactic.

16. How come the things that make you happy don't make everyone happy?

Because everyone is different.

17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What's holding you back?

I want to date him. His parents, his feelings towards me, the age difference, the soon to be distance, and paranoia.

18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

Yes. Oh, God, yes.

19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
