2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?
I don’t even remember being REALLY angry. Maybe about a friend’s death, but I’m not angry about it anymore. At least, not most of the time. Most of the time I’m just sad.
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?
Depends on who I’m with on the flight. Like, if I’m with my family, I wouldn’t have to call them, would I? But if I wasn’t with family, I’d probably call my mother—assuming she’s still alive—and tell her I love her.
And aren’t there fire extinguishers on planes? Or is this a fire that can’t be put out before we land?
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 see no expiration date on the bottom of your foot.” (Commercial for some cancer hospital.) Doctors can be wrong. I could die any second. I should be living with that mentality all the time.
5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust.
They go together a lot of the time—if you love someone, you tend to trust them. What’s the context? Do I have one of these for someone else, or do I only receive one or the other from others? I think I’d rather be trusted.
This is why I hate these kinds of questions. They’re not specific enough.
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?
I’m rarely ever late, so I doubt a boss would fire me over that. But if I had been late multiple times and been threatened with job loss, I’d probably save the dog and find another job.
So the dog can’t swim, is that it? Most of them are pretty good swimmers.
7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?
See answer to number 5. Trust and love should go hand-in-hand. Why would I trust someone more than I love another, or vice versa?
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?
Uh. That would depend on my feelings for them.
9. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them one hour of life back, but you have to give up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not?
Last person super-close to me that I’d like to see again died three years ago and would turn around and march straight back to Heaven if she was here again. So no. Eternity isn’t worth that exchange.
10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?
Most of the time.
11. Does love = sex?
Not always. They should go hand-in-hand—if you love someone, sex should be an expression of that love. But too many people think that just having sex makes someone else love them, or means they love each other, and that’s not always the case. Some people don’t care about anything but the sex, which is unfortunate.
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?
Maybe. I can find a new job. But so can they, can’t they? Assuming they can’t, I’d probably offer. That’s no guarantee that the other person wouldn’t be fired, though.
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?
Uhmmmm… This might be tomorrow…
14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite sex, you love them or that you do not love them back?
I think it would be harder to say I didn’t love them back, at least not the way they want me to love them.
15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?
I dunno. I’ve gone without material things. Those wouldn’t be too hard to give up. Sometimes I really want to be done with this life, so death might not be hard to take. This is such a weird question.
16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you?
My mommy.
17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why?
Nah. We learn from everything. Some things are fixed points.
18. Imagine it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?
Probably my dad. But who says it’s a bad person at my window? Maybe it’s a friend who needs in out of the rain. Maybe I was waiting for someone and they finally showed up?
19. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?
I don’t really know CPR, but if I did, I probably would. They’re a person. They deserve to be helped.
Where did 20 go?
21.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?
One of my grandmothers is dead. The other might understand me saving the child over her since she’s nearing 90 and would probably prefer an innocent baby be allowed to live.
I hope.
22. Are you old fashioned?
Pretty.
23. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?
Uhhh… Like, most of the time. Kindness is just the right thing.
24. Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?
I’ve always been one of those people who doesn’t believe they could handle a broken heart at the hands of loved one. My heart is tender. I know you learn from everything, but I think I’d rather never have a romantic relationship if the only other one I’d ever have was guaranteed to fail and make me miserable.
But love does not automatically mean romance, you know. If you mean never loved at all in the romantic sense, then yeah. That one. I’ve got other love—family, friends, etc. Don’t need romantic love. I’ve gone 21 years without it; I can make it forever.
25. If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?
Too many times I have wished for stupid things, and were those wishes granted, I would miss out on a lot of what life has had to offer me, good and bed. I wouldn’t wish for anything. And many times my actions cause stupid things, too, but I would really love to be better at my relationship with Jesus.
