What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling them how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when they are telling you how they feel?

Looking into someone's eyes in general is really difficult. But to answer the question, probably looking into someone's eyes when they are telling you how they feel.

Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

I was really angry last spring when my friends abandoned me for no explainable reason. And I'm not mad at most of them anymore.

You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago nonstop. 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?

Probably my parents, to say that I love them.

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'd let some people know, but I wouldn't just tell everyone; there are some people who don't need to know or wouldn't care, and I hate having tons of attention drawn to me/people making a huge deal about me. I'd probably do all sorts of crazy stuff that I've never done before, and I would probably be a little afraid, just because death is a scary thought.

You can have one of the following two things: Love or Trust. Which do you choose? Why?

Trust. Love seems to naturally follow.

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 dog’s life?

Of course. Any boss who wouldn't respect kindness and compassion is someone I wouldn't want to work for in the first place. Plus, there's nothing in that question that says that I will definitely be late for work... :)

You are unfaithful to your spouse/significant other. Do you tell him/her? Why or Why not?

First off, this would never happen to me, because I'm picky enough to choose to be in a relationship with someone I can devote the rest of my life to. However, honesty is always the best policy in any relationship, and your partner would probably rather find out from you than through the grapevine.

Your friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more then just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you do/say?

OH SNAP!

Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

Sometimes.

Does love = sex?

Sex is a very important part of certain types of relationships, and once you're completely commited to someone (aka after marriage) it's an important part of showing your devotion to your partner. However, there are many types of love that people have for various other relationships (i.e. friendships, parent-child, pets, etc.) that shouldn't involve sex.

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?

Probably mediation with Alitia.

What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a friend, you love them or that you do not love them back?

That I don't love them back.

What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?

I think it would be incredibly hard for me to give up all contact with other people. I've experienced isolation before, and it's more painful that almost anything else one can imagine.

Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them? Who were they to you?

Probably Mom, at some point today.

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?

A big tough guy with a mask.

Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?

Yeah (assuming I can relearn CPR before the opportunity presents itself), because everyone deserves lifesaving effort if it's available.

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 reason for making the decision?

First off, this question is messed up. But I'd probably save the grandmother.

Are you old fashioned?

In some ways, yes.

When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?

Yesterday.

Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?

Having never loved at all. It's a lot less painful.

If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?

I wish someone would recognize my true potential, and that that someone wouldn't be a creeper.
