I stole it too! (another survey thingy)
Could you forgive your best friend for sleeping with your partner?
I would definitely want, and expect, to forgive them at some point, but in all likelihood both relationships would be over.
How old will you be on your next birthday?
I hate this question
I shall be 24; now leave me alone about my age!
Have you ever seen a live bat?
Yuppers, there's a 'bat colony' in Houston, and I'd seen them before then. They're cute little things!
Is there anything/anyone you hate?
...I hate that question above
No, not really in the literal sense though, and certainly not people.
Are you single?
Yep
Do you like the color orange?
Yes, but I don't wear it.
Do you find it in your heart to forgive?
Forgiveness is one of the most fundamentally important spiritual things in my life. I would be deeply disappointed in myself if I could not forgive someone.
Would you rather not drink or not sleep?
Well I'd be pretty miserable either, but since water is my permanent accessory and since the thirst would probably start to irritate me far sooner than the exhaustion I'll go with I'd rather not sleep.
Have you ever seen a real redneck?
HAHAHA! I see them every day!
Do tattoos and piercings excite you?
I used to be very turned off by them, I still don't really care for tattoos, but I'm mostly neutral on them. Piercings in the right places on the right guys can be hot. Honestly though, for a long-term partner I think I'd prefer him to come tattoo and piercing free, but it certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker. I don't have or intend to have, either.
What's the meaning of life?
Good question!
My philosophy is that I never want to leave a relationship or interaction with a net negative experience for the other person. This could be something big like a partner, close friend, family member, or something much less significant like a cashier at a store or a waiter at a restaurant. Whatever the case I want the person to be slightly better off/happier/whatever than before I entered their life.
It's okay if nothing really happens either way, and I'm fine with people not liking me, but I would be sorry if they actively regretted having met me, or if they weren't somehow better off for it.
A good example would be homophobia. I know some people are just going to straight up dislike me because I'm gay, and that's fine, because I think the exposure to a gay person - hopefully modeling positive or at least neutral behaviour - will ultimately be good for them or at least give them something to think about.
In sum, I would say that the meaning of life is to enjoy it and to spread that enjoyment to others!
What size shoes do you wear?
10 USA....wanna buy me a pair?
What's your favorite season?
I like 'em all.
Spring is beautiful; I like the fashion best in winter; fall has the most pleasant weather around here; summer is always a happy time. Why pick?
Do you care if people talk smack about you?
I really don't if the people are having fun or bonding over it or whatever. That is, as long as they're not people I'm close with and they're not saying stuff they know would really hurt me if I heard it.
How long are you on the phone daily?
Depends on the day. I'm much more of a texter though. On average I would think maybe 20 minutes. Some days are far less and some days are far more, and that's every phone call combined. Really hard to say.
Sorry, I forgot to ask your name?
Kevin
Are you in a good mood?
Almost perpetually, but the last few days have been particularly wonderful!
Do you believe in luck?
Depends on how you define 'luck', but in all likelihood the answer is 'yes'.
Everything happens for a reason, right?
I suppose
Would you rather skydive or bungee jump?
I've sorta bungee jumped before, but I'd like to do it again from higher up. I'd love to skydive! So I'll vote for skydive!
Do you like snakes?
I lectured one of my good friends this weekend for trying to kill one needlessly. Excluding insects you'd be hard pressed to find an animal I like less, but I believe all life has a right to exist and there's no point in needlessly killing anything. It's also bad for the ecosystem. Live and let live is my motto.
Where is one place that you'd like to visit?
I have far more than ONE place I'd like to visit. I'll go with London.
Do you like waffles?
They're okay. Not that nutritious and I'm not crazy about them, so I'd probably only eat them if I were hungry and they were the only thing around, but they're not bad and can be very enjoyable.
Anything your looking forward to?
Lotsa stuff, nothing I care to pinpoint at the moment though.
Do you have more or less than five best friends?
Hmm, I've counted up, and I have eight people that I would readily and very accurately describe as "one of my best friends." Six of those have probably literally been my best friend at different points in time whereas the other two have just consistently been extremely close friends that I really care about. Those six would almost always feel like my best friend whenever I'm with them. Two of the eight have been really really close friends since my teens, and a different two of the eight are my 'best friends' in the most emotionally intense, active, and present sense. If I had to pick one of the last two would get the 'title'.
I also have quite a few 'good friends', that I really care about and love spending time with, and many more 'casual friends'. I'm pretty free with my affection and friendship; although this doesn't mean I take it lightly.
What would you do if the friend you talk to most stopped talking to you?
Been there, done that...
I forgave him and got on with my life. As I said above I have other awesome friends, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it did hurt like hell, and he definitely was my primary 'best friend' at the time
Actually we're still riding the emotional roller coaster because we have so many mutual friends we're more or less 'stuck' in each other's lives. It's getting better though, and while I do hope we can re-establish consistently friendly relations, I know I never want to be close with him again.
Does the number 23 have any significance to you?
Yes, I've been 23 for awhile now, but as I said, I don't like to discuss or focus on age.
Be honest, do you like people in general?
Oh very much! People are awesome!
Big or small dogs?
Definitely big dogs, but I like all dogs in principle and most in application.
Do you like Big Macs?
No way! First of all I don't meat (which I suppose is how you could classify that), and second I don't eat fast food.
Did someone bother you today?
Nope
Sometimes, do you wish you were someone else?
Not at all
Does someone love you?
Lots of people do and I love them back
Do you know anyone named Dave?
Yeah I do, he's an awesome guy and a moderately good friend of mine. Unfortunately he's moving away soon, but I think he's making the right decision and will be happy, so I support him in this.
Recently kissed anyone with the name starting with a R?
I was going to say no, then I remembered that a couple of nights ago my friend Rocky greeted me with one of those 'gay kisses', so yes.
Has anyone ever mistaken you for a family member?
Not that I recall. I have a very small family.
Have you ever tried Gatorade?
When I was a kid, but I preferred Powerade and haven't drunk either in years.
Do you think that Starbucks is expensive?
I've come to accept the cost as expected, so relatively no, but objectively yes, it is.
Are you named after a family member?
Kinda sorta, my middle name is my grandfather's first name.
Say you were given a drug test right now. Would you pass or fail?
I
