I love when I read stuff like this and it is someone who is similar to me in a lot of the important ways. I am so glad you answered!

Thanks HappyMe! I agree, seeing your answers and everyone else's is great. I'm waiting to see if anyone notices the hidden gem in mine.

[Ly Ph]

1. Headphones or earphones?
It depends on what i am doing. If I am travelling then earphones otherwise headphones.

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
Its been a long time since I went on a date. I would imagin its pritty much the same as my leaving the house one. Bath, clothes, make up and go.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
No

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
Well chances are given that there are billions of earth like planets around the universe there are aliens but travelling large distances costs a lot of time or a lot of energy or both. As there are large amounts of radiation in space its actually very difficult to travel between world. Its something like if they wanted to travel here near the speed of light they would need to use 99% off there mass (perfect conversion of energy to mass) just to accelerate and break. Frankly I cant see anyone wanting to do such a thing and not talk to us as the end of it. As for the people that think they would invade well what's the point if you are only going to get a tiny amount of resources because you have to spend so much travelling.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
non-fictional? I don't know any real pirates. Does Cpt Morgan count?

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?
I have strange hair likes. I prefer long but I kinda like things like mohawks and half there head shaven. I am strange like that.

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?
Utopia probably. I know its boring but if I went from "lizzys lesbian love island" not so many people would take it seriously living there. Tourism may be higher though so maybe I am wrong.

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?
I am going to say the UKs. Because I have very little knowledge of this area :P

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
Nether? I guess its hard. To be the cheater would break my morals but to be cheated on would make me really unhappy.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P
No

11. How many children do you want, if any?
I am not sure really. 1-3 I think. 3 may be too many for me to handle but one means you have to play with them more as they do not have a sibling to entertain/look after them

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?
I kinda do. I want to be able to please my partner and part of that means sexually.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?
Probably a week or so. I tend not to shower so much when camping.

14. Do you like the way you look?
lol no but lets not have a rant :P

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?
I sing "do you want to give me blue buff" when I play league of legends with a friend. Other than that I probably wouldn't know that I was quoting it :P

16. When was the last time you blushed?
Again I am not sure. I think possibly when truthpick rang my skype and I panicked like mad.

17. Are you happy?
Always. I have Cake!

18. What is your favorite pastime?
Computer games probably. But only because sexy time cant consume many hours a day :P

19. Least favorite food?
Lemon maybe? I don't really like citrus.

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?
I can't think of anyone. I guess you could say my old physics teacher at school who made it fun. Thats kinda a form of inspiration.

[NowStop]

1. Headphones or earphones?

Headphones. I actually use a pair of Beats by Dre.

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?

First date mentality:

Freak out mentally. Shower, wash.

Try to calm myself down with music.

Dress nicely. Brush teeth. Comb hair.

Remember to breathe.

Practice topics of conversation to try to not come off as a boring idiot.

Stop at the ATM to make sure I have some cash on hand if needed.

Go to meet the girl.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?

I have some OCD tendencies. If I start a task, I have to finish it before I start another task.

I am also somewhat tactile defensive.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?

The odds of life not existing somewhere else in this universe is extremely small. So I have no doubt that alien life does exist.

I doubt that aliens are here already, however.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?

Steve Jobs. (Look up 'phreaking')

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?

Long hair.

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?

Ithica.

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?

I prefer the American legal system, if only because its weighted to protect the accused's rights.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?

I'd rather be alone than in either situation.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P

No, I've always been too afraid that I'd get caught. And I am a terrible liar to begin with.

11. How many children do you want, if any?

At least one girl.

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?

I don't know about an 'important' part, but I think it is a part regardless.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?

A day. I shower daily.

14. Do you like the way you look?

Yes, for the most part. Though I seriously need to step up my yoga exercises.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?

'The time has come!', the Walrus said,
'To speak of many things -
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings.
And why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings

16. When was the last time you blushed?

Today, watching A To Z.

17. Are you happy?

Yes, no, maybe so.

18. What is your favorite pastime?

To play video games and read.

19. Least favorite food?

Cauliflower. And crow.

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?[/QUOTE]

Those people that depend on me to be a rock, one of which the gates of hell shall not prevail against.

Headphones

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
Shower, shave

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
I labeled myself as bipolar. It was later confirmed by a professional that it was caused by extreme distress in my life at the time. I was never on medication.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
Yes. No. “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” I think it is a lot less terrifying that we aren't alone, because humans do some really terrible things and I can't imagine there are aliens much worse than us.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
Jeanne de Clisson "The Lioness of Brittany"

Past shoulder length, but less than mid-back

Lordran

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?
I'm not sure of the actual types, but I'm for the idea of making everything legal (like drugs and owning guns) and letting Darwin sort everything out. Innocent until proven guilty. Also, I think mandated medical insurance is complete bull.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
Be the cheater. I'm a sentimental and would over-think what I did wrong if someone cheated on me. That being said, never cheat.

All the time. I get made fun of a lot because I go see Disney movies in theaters alone because no one else my age wants to go.

16. When was the last time you blushed?
I sent a dick pic to a girl on accident while intoxicated, and she showed everyone and someone made a mention that they were impressed.

17. Are you happy?
Most days, but those days I'm not easily counter the good days.

18. What is your favorite pastime?
Playing pool.

I was never really into pirates, so don't have a good answer here.

Short hair

I vaguely recall cheating at school when I was very young but never really found it that necessary.

11. How many children do you want, if any?
Right now, none. Maybe some in the future, but I can't talk for myself in 10 years.

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?
No. It's an optional extra that may impact the relationship depending on the individuals. It doesn't impact me though.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?
I usually have a bath every couple of weeks and a shower nearly every day. I don't think I've gone without a bath for more than a month.

14. Do you like the way you look?
Yes, because other people like the way I look. I don't particularly care when by myself but if other people like the way I look then they tend to be a bit more fun towards me.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?
I'm sure I have in the past, but I can't think of anything specific.

Long
7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?

Obviously, every listening exam, with multiple choice questions we worked together with almost the entire class :P.

[Saddi]

1. Headphones or earphones?
Headphones. They keep your ears warm too!

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
Shower. Blow dry and straighten. Get dressed. Make up. Totally change outfit. Be late. Always be late!

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
I thought I had depression and sort of self diagnosed before going to the Doctors who confirmed it and put me on pills.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
Ummm... you. You are my favourite pirate.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
Honestly I've been the cheater in the past and it made me realise what I wanted and what was important. We came through it and are now stronger than ever. Especially now I know I'm poly and have mumbles too.

Uh yes. A lot.

I am happier when Mumbles is home with me, but I think overall in life I would certainly describe myself as happy. Largely because of her.

Skyping Mumbles.
Real hobby would be baking but I've kind of lost my touch recently.

19. Least favorite food?
Reheated chicken. Bleugh! Or turkey.

Honestly cheesy answer but Mumbles.
She is so forgiving and loveable. She makes me try harder to be a good person. To be accepting and kind and to just be better. I've told her this in a lot more detail. She knows. ♡

[Hawkward]

First of all, lovely set of questions! - Would be delighted to see more like these in future ~
(sorry for any long answers, or typing errors, just gonna type type type, then post ~ )

1. Headphones or earphones?
Headphones - Not only do I want to enjoy my music as much as possible, but I'd like my own music to sound as good as can be. I like headphones with a good range, and decent bass, but other than that, no real preference.

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
I have never had a date before, but if I were to be in such a situation, I would shave and bathe the night before, then look out some casual smart cloths for the next day. Other than that, just take it easy the night before, and not do anything reckless like worry over the date the next day, in a ways to prepare myself mentally.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
I have labelled myself as OCD before, mostly out of joking context, but I think it's more of a case I like things in orderly fashion? However - I will be getting tested in the up and coming weeks to see if there is any chance I have aspergers. My mum, and a couple family members have had thoughts about it in the past, but couldn't get the help, or advice when I was a child, instead being passed off as overly protective.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
Naturally! We're but a tiny pixel on an infinitely large screen, but whether they're here is another question entirely - and maybe we're not the only ones who think there is life across the stars. However, I do believe firmly in new technology being in space - on Earth, we've but the resources on the very planet we are born on to live, and evolve from, and it could very well be there are types of energy, or methods of travel that are just plain impossible to learn of while we live on Earth, which is why I can understand the idea some people have about colonizing the moon being a step humanity can take, however only in theory of how small we are, not in regards to what we'd actually find on the giant rock.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
THE PIRATE IN LAZY TOWN.... he's real enough, right? RIGHT?!

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?
Preferably what suits the girl in question best? No two people are the same ~

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?
Easeland - a place where you can just take it easy, wind down, and not have to think or worry about a single thing.

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?
I think that this can be answered from many, many different angles. The quality of living in Asia for example, as compared to Europe, while countries like Japan are known for their technological advancements that could have been boosted through their stricter flavor of living, over here in the UK, things feel much more relaxed in comparison.

The point I'm getting at here is that a strict, unforgiving legal system would set a lot of people ajar. While I think it could boost order within a country, the standard of living is effected as a result. Yes, I'm sure we can compromise on our expectations in life, but overall, you might live feeling unfulfilled. Whereas I think that having an overly lenient system would imply the contrary, not correctly teaching people good from bad, and not correctly deciding punishment that fits the crime in question - jail time and community service could only do so much before a person will break in one direction or another.

Ideally a middle ground between these two would be suitable, maybe having a more distinct presence of order in the nation so that people are more aware of the law, and think twice about their actions, without having to live in fear of the system itself.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
I'd rather be cheated on - I find it easier to forgive others, than I do to forgive myself.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P
I used to have a buddy next to me in primary school who was a math whiz that'd share their answers with me ~! Since then, I guess I can't recall ever cheating.

11. How many children do you want, if any?
None at the moment, but once I find a partner in life, I would likely be happy at two - girl/boy - and actually would like the girl to be born first. I like the idea of having a daughter that can live up to the big sister part, and be there for her brother, mostly because I do see "motherly" type figures as more approachable than the contrary, at least in terms of siblings.

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?
Yes and no - when I find a woman that I feel I can devote myself to, I want to try and make them live as happy a life as possible. For me, the most important part there is the man's sense of responsibility to their partner, and while I feel sex is important in terms of an intimate connection between two people that love each other, I don't think a relationship can be built on sex alone.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?
2 weeks - Back in 2009 when I had left secondary school, I went through what I do consider the most important year for myself in terms of self-discovery, and finding a purpose. During this time, I did have several highs and lows, wallowing in pity at one point, causing me to neglect my needs, this included not only bathing, but also food, drink, fresh-air, etc etc. I've since matured a lot however, but I do not regret that one bit.

14. Do you like the way you look?
Parts of myself, sure! Overall, I think I need to improve a lot, but in terms of my eye colour, hair colour, the overall appeal of my face in general, I do not look down on myself so much as to let these good points about my appearance go to waste.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?
Nope ~ sorry!

16. When was the last time you blushed?
September - I attended Comic Con for two days, looking to get a lot of photographs when i approached an artist I was a large fan of. I asked if I could take a picture of her stand, with all her merchandise on the table and stuff.... she jumps on said table, and prompts me for a selfie shot Being completely new to the act of taking a selfie, it was awkward (har har) to say the least, but it made me weekend feel complete.

17. Are you happy?
YES - but I could always be much much MUCH happier!

18. What is your favorite pastime?
Making use of my fingers, and learning new things ~
Sounds lewd, though I'm absolutely serious - I enjoy playing piano, and playing rhythm games. I've moved away from popular gaming now, and focus myself more on the niche market. A lot of my time goes into rhythm games, and I enjoy the rewarding feeling of "learning" to play songs, and make my fingers pull off feats that I used to envy from other talented gamers.

19. Least favorite food?
PASTA - so far... might find much worse later in life ~!

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?
There are simply too many people... I've gained so much from just the friendships I've gained over the years, and I value that greatly. if I had to specify, I guess it would be to all the people that have listened to, and taken into consideration my often excessive ramblings, and also took the time to think on my behalf, giving me so much in return, but also to those that have allowed me a place in their lives without me feeling obstructive in regards to being attentive to their well-being, wishing to be there for them as much as they would myself.

[Calcifer]

1. Headphones or earphones?
earphones

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
Step #1 Look, feel, and smell clean. Shower, brush teeth, etc etc.
Step #2 Wear clothes (optional).
Step #3 Be ridiculously handsome (i.e. be myself).
Step #4 Smile.
Step #5 Win her heart (achieved by following steps 1 through 4).
Most of my time and effort goes into step #1

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
Yes, all the time! I used to call myself a little depressed, and a little OCD (still am, sometimes). Sometimes I think that I have multiple personalities. Maybe a little bi-polar, once in a while? Most of the labels that I give myself are only slightly true.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
I don't really think that they exist, but it's possible. If you are an alien, I would love to meet you

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
Hmm....... I'm gonna go with Blackbeard. He had a black beard.

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?
Honestly, I love both. I generally prefer long hair, but that's mostly because I don't like the "tough girl with buzzed hair, tattoos, and piercings" look. Short hair can be very cute. It's just not very often that I see it the way that I like it.

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?
Narnia. Or Middle Earth.

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?
One that treats everybody the same and works towards improvement, rather than just punishment. Honestly, I don't know much about legal systems. I know that ours is pretty bad.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
Can I choose neither? I never want to be the cheater. Even though it might be less painful for me, I never want to be the one to put somebody else through that. So I'll choose being cheated on, again.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P
Hmm... Nope. I don't think that my conscience would let me.

11. How many children do you want, if any?
I do want children! Three has always seemed like a good number to me, but most importantly I want to have at least one boy and one girl (:

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?
Nope. Not all romantic relationships need to be sexual. Sometimes, it's really nice when they aren't.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?
When I was young, I went to a farm camp. We were required to take at least one shower per week, so that's what most of us did. So, back then, I probably went six or seven days without showering. Now, though, I won't go more than one day without showering (maaybe two, if it's a particularly rough week).

14. Do you like the way you look?
Reasonably so (: Of course, there are a few things that I would change, if I could. Well, I have no reason to believe that I'm particularly unattractive (especially considering that I'm generally too busy to put much effort into the way that I look anyway).

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?
Of course! I love Disney movies (:

16. When was the last time you blushed?
Hmm... I really don't know. People don't often make me blush, and nobody has ever told me when I do. I personally don't think it's very easy to make me blush. You're welcome to try (:

17. Are you happy?
In general, yes (: Sometimes I have no reason to be. I like to think that I've been battle-hardened. In the past, I was often upset. Things are different now. Even in spite of rough times, I tend to keep myself in a pretty good mood.

18. What is your favorite pastime?
I love playing games and watching movies with my friends. This isn't necessarily my favorite thing to do, but it lets me have fun while spending time with friends. That's important to me.

19. Least favorite food?
Probably tomatoes. It's not that I really hate their taste, I'm just not particularly fond of them. I like most foods.

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?
One of my exes used to inspire me to be a better person. My current friends often inspire me to be a better person. Often, I actually inspire myself to be a better person, because it's something that I strive toward.

I have; I thought I had depression a while back.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
I always love this question. Think about it. Here we are on the Earth, the only known planet to sustain life. We live in this huge fucking universe. There's gotta be another planet like Earth. They exist, but we haven't found them (and they haven't found us yet).

One that's not corrupt, and it must work towards improvement.

11. How many children do you want, if any?
In the far future, I'd want one child.

[SubmissiveKitten]

1. Headphones or earphones?

Earphones, totally. I don't know why I could never get used to headphones! They're super cute sometimes!

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?

I just spend more time on myself than normal, like putting on a bit of concealer and actually doing up my hair for once. I also check over and over how my clothes look on me.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?

My Anxiety and Depression were professionally diagnosed but I think I may be Bi-Polar. I refuse to label myself as Bi-Polar unless I really have it, though.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?

I like to think they're real~

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?

I don't have one, actually.

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?

To me it doesn't really matter, I prefer personality. ((Pansexuals ftw))

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?

I think it would depend on what the land looked like to me. Kinda like how you name people. (EX. "I don't know you just LOOK like an Alison.")

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?

To be honest, I try to ignore the legal system. They can do what they want, and I'll do what I want. If that means moving to another state to be married or whatever, so be it.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?

Neither, cheating is wrong...I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P

Why yes, of course.

11. How many children do you want, if any?

Two or three little darlings~

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?

Not at all. Love is the most important thing. As long as you have that, sex doesn't even have to be in the equation if you don't want. ((Asexual awareness!!!))

13. How long have you gone without bathing?

I went five days in the mental ward of the hospital. When they moved me to a place with a shower, I was super relieved.

14. Do you like the way you look?

Not at all. No. I wish I could.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?

All the time, I even break into song!

Earlier today. I blush easily.

1. Headphones or earphones?
Earphones. I like being able to hear other stuff going on around me, so I usually have only one earphone in. I do have to buy the kid/lady ones though because I have small ears and some of them don't fit very well and hurt my ears.

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?
I spend a lot of time picking out what I am going to wear and then get it all ready in my room before I get in the shower and do all the normal stuff, and shave. When I get out I spend time in my towel for awhile while I do my hair and makeup, and then finally get dressed. Sometimes I end up changing my outfit a few times before finally leaving.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?
I definitely have some OCD tendencies and have labelled them before. But I also have labelled myself with PTSD over a few things.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?
No! I am not against thinking that there are other life forms on other planets, but when it comes to the little green guys, I don't believe it.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?
I am not a pirate fan.

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?
Medium. Is that cheating? I like being able to run my hands through it.

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?
Butterflytopia!

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?
One that is harsh, but fair. My biggest belief is that religion should have no place when it comes to a legal system. Laws should be derived from common law precedents as well as new code laws put into effect.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?
I would rather be cheated on. It would hurt, but I would rather be hurt, than to hurt somebody else.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P
I had my dad complete an art project for me once in grade 9. I also copied my friends homework a few times. But I never cheated on any tests or assignments or anything.

11. How many children do you want, if any?
Two!!! I would love to have one boy and one girl, but just as long as I get two.

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?
Yes. It may not be the most important thing, but I think it is important in order to have a healthy relationship.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?
I think at most it was 3 days, and it was only because I was too sick to get out of bed.

14. Do you like the way you look?
No.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?
All the time!

16. When was the last time you blushed?
5 seconds ago. Asslvr knew this question was coming up, so with a few words, he turned me all red and blushy.

17. Are you happy?
At this moment I am very happy.

18. What is your favorite pastime?
Scrapbooking, crafts, listening to music and talking with my wonderfully devious man. And sometimes I get to do all 3 at once.

19. Least favorite food?
Liver.

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?

My mom and also Asslvr <3

[StrawDog]

I often think of that song, and it's usually in my head when drafting up up/answering questions. Adore me.

1. Headphones or earphones?

Headphones.

2. What is your "getting ready for a date" ritual?

This is a thing? I might have been doing it wrong... Not actually been on that many dates, as such; I usually meet people doing strange things, and then we decide to do strange things together, which become more regular and branch out until we realise we are strangely entwined.

3. Have you labeled yourself things (such as OCD, depression, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD) without a professional's opinion?

Well, yes and no. I'm living with chronic illness, and during the first few years was having test after test and not getting any answers; things were falling apart and I didn't know what the hell was going on. Eventually after doing some digging, and tracking down others who presented the same, I had a pretty good idea of what was wrong, though didn't say for sure, and carried on as best I could as I didn't want to ask for help. Things progressed to the point where I needed that help and official recognition to be able to continue my education, I was able to meet with a specialist and my suspicions were confirmed. It was a horrible relief after years of confusion.

4. Aliens. Do they exist? Are they here already?

I believe there is other life somewhere, though doubt they are here. Still, the universe is greater than I can fathom, so I like to keep that little spark of possibility alive, no matter how unlikely. Good mental exercise, if nothing else.

5. Pirates. Favorite non-fictional pirate?

Gan Ning. If you're into pirates and have not come across this name, you are in for a treat. When he outgrew piracy he became a general, like you do.

6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair on the opposite sex?

I prefer to take people as individual and see what suits them, or that they like for themselves. Overall, I do have a preference for long, dark hair, on both men and women.

7. If you discovered an unknown land... what would you name it?

Hope.

8. In your opinion, what is the most adequate type of legal system?

I don't believe we've had one, yet. At least, not in practice. However, I hope I'm simply wrong and ignorant.

9. Would you rather be the cheater or be cheated on?

Cheated on; I can handle being hurt, and to use that experience to become a better person. By cheating on another I commit an act that undermines too many values I hold dear and has more harmful, internal, consequences to me than it would be worth. That being said, I am polyamorous, so may have a slightly different mentality.

10. Have you ever cheated in school (pre-school through grad school)? Don't lie! :P

Not that I recall. I can't say I've not been tempted on occasion. If ever I have looked over someone's shoulder, it has been after I've answered myself, and mostly out of curiosity, leading to panic. Never changed an answer though, and I've managed to get to where I need to be with my own work.

11. How many children do you want, if any?

I've never wanted children, and can't see that changing. There was someone I loved once who I would have settled with, but that was mostly because I know she wants children, rather than wanting them for myself. They would have been well loved, though.

Whilst not wanting to bring a child into the world, I would like to look after some that are already here, and need a good and loving home. As a single male and drifter, that is, however, unlikely.

Since my niece came along, I know that I will never have a baby of my own. When with her, she is my sole focus, and I'd really never get anything done at all if it was 24/7.

12. Do you consider sex to be an important part of a successful romantic relationship?

It can be, and often is. Some people need different things, though, and I don't like to discount other possibilities. I am quite sexual, but there are many ways to express that.

13. How long have you gone without bathing?

Hard to say; I've been bed-ridden and pretty out of it at times, for extended periods.

14. Do you like the way you look?

Not at all.

15. Have you ever found yourself quoting a Disney movie?

Not often, but sometimes I just want to be part of that world.

16. When was the last time you blushed?

A few days back when I got caught on an elaborate cake raid. Well, it wasn't elaborate, at all; I'm just saying that to feel better.

17. Are you happy?

No. Working on it, though.

18. What is your favorite pastime?

I can't choose between martial arts and reading poetry. Also, I love learning and hunting for information.

19. Least favorite food?

Well, I am a vegetarian, so I assume you mean least favourite that I can still eat? Goats cheese.

20. Who has inspired you to be a better person?

I'm trying for everyone and everything. It doesn't always work, though, so I'll take me mam and my niece. I also have a pretty incredible mentor.

Also, I had a teacher in school who lived through Apartheid. She was my first real exposure to Feminism, all round badass, and helped me stay in school when my health was declining and other teachers just wanted me out. I would quite literally be dead without her, and will never forget or be fully able to repay that debt.


Thank you. More, please!
