The 5000 Question Survey - Part Three

Part Three
201. Put these creatures in order from what you would least like to be reincarnated as (1), to what you would most like to be reincarnated as (10) assuming reincarnation ended up existing AND you were given a choice - caterpillar, house dog, wild dog, vulture, male human, female human, oak tree, rock, manta ray, dolphin.
1.Rock
2.Caterpillar
3.Oak Tree
4.Vulture
5.Manta Ray
6.Wild Dog
7.House Dog
8.Male Human
9.Female Human
10.Dolphin

That order seems backwards to me though…

202. What do you feel unworthy of? Sometimes I feel unworthy of my husband because he is a much better person than me.

203. Would you rather be remembered for having done something for humanity or being a really nice person? I don’t like this a question as I can’t really distinguish one from the other - if you do something for humanity I would consider you extremely nice and if you’re a really nice person then I’d say that counts as doing something for humanity, albeit on a small scale. So both.

204. Which do you value more: science or intuition? Intuition.

205. Your best friend and your significant other are in the hospital at the same time with the same ailment. Who do you visit first? Significant other.

206. Does the universe revolve around human beings? We like to think it does.

207. If you are no longer a virgin, do you wish you still were? No way. I lost my virginity on my wedding night and that is one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made.

208. Who is your favorite poet of those who are alive right now? Not sure. Maybe Carol Ann Duffy as she has really original ideas.

209. What is your favorite song from the 90’s? Ooh, tricky. Argh, I’ve just looked at a list of “greatest 90s songs” and I totally cannot decide. I’ll say Spice Girls - Wannabe just because it was the beginning of Girl Power and a new kind of pop.

210. If you were in alphabet soup what letter would you be? X….mwah!

211. Do you believe in fairies, ghosts, aliens, angels, dwarves, elves, etc.? Out of that list I’m only sure about angels. I think spirits exist but I don’t buy all that ghost-hunting stuff and I think it’s ignorant to say there are no other life forms in the universe but, if they do exist, I’m willing to bet they’re in another galaxy. Oh, and dwarves obviously exist but not the mythological kind.

212. What makes you want to be someone’s friend? If they’re nice to me. Also if they inspire or captivate me.

213. Do you troll around the Internet harassing people anonymously for fun? Haha, no. I can honestly say I have never done that.

214. Have you ever seen the movie A Man Who Fell to Earth? I haven’t. Should I?

215. What is your favorite line from a movie? “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” from ‘Moulin Rouge’ <3

216. What’s your favorite video game? I am addicted to hidden object games, like the ones you buy from the MSN Game Centre, but, apart from that, the whole Sims universe and Pokemon are probably my faves.

217. Have you ever taken something that wasn’t yours? Yeah but only from people in my house, I think. I’ve never properly stolen anything.

218. What is one phrase people say that irritates you? “You’ll get better”. Will I? WILL I?! It’s been six years, how long is it supposed to take?!

219. You allow strangers to read your diary, but would you let your parents read it? I guess this is referring to Live Journal, where this survey is taken from, but I don’t have one of those so I don’t actually allow strangers to read my diary. I’d allow my parents to read my Tumblr if they so desired though, yeah.

220. Hot steamy bubble bath or quick in and out shower? I love showers but I like to spend ages in there so I’d have to go for a bubble bath over a quick shower.

221. Are you allergic to anything? Pollen (hayfever) and dust.

222. What is your favorite Terminator movie? I’ve never seen any of them and don’t really want to.

223. What is your favorite fast food? Pizza pizza pizza. It is always on my mind.

224. What would someone have to do to get you to never speak to him or her again? Seriously threaten me or someone I love.

225. Would (or have) you ever whip someone or be whipped by someone in bed? LOL, nope, neither. I wouldn’t mind giving it a go but I don’t think pain turns me on.

226. Have you ever said ‘I hate everyone’ and really meant it literally? I say stuff like that all the time, usually “I hate today” or “I hate my life”, and I sometimes mean the former but never really the latter. I’ve never truly hated *everyone* either.

227. Why do some people want to get more money than they could ever spend? I guess it’s partly security so you can do anything you want without having to worry about necessities. Also, some people judge success by money and I think greed is a part of human nature.

228. Have you ever won a carnival fish? No but I went to this fair with my friend and really wanted a goldfish so I asked the lady on the stall if I could buy one instead of trying to win it and she let me :D He’s dead now, he jumped out of the bowl :(

229. Did it live more than a week? Haha, yes. He lived a few years until his break for freedom ;)

230. What’s the best sounding accent a person can have? I really like Australian and Geordie accents.

231. What’s the most boring thing you’ve ever read? I don’t remember. If it’s *that* boring I’ll forget about it.

232. Do you prefer buttons or touch screens? A combination. I’m getting used to touch screen now but I like the device to have some buttons too.

233. Do you think there is a lot of similarity between the Harry Potter books and the Lord of the Rings series? Not really. Only that they’re both fantasy series centred on a quest, as are many other books.

234. Would you consider yourself to be naive? Sometimes. I can fall for things a bit too easily at times but I’m learning.

235. Which of your friends is most likely to go to jail? I’m not friends with any criminals. I can imagine people I went to school with being sent down though.

236. What is the smallest amount of money that could be in a public toilet that would make you reach in and grab it? Um, a fiver? You’d have to dry it out though, which would be annoying. I’d only reach in if it was just water in the bowl, I’m not putting my hand in anyone’s piss, thanks.

237. Would you ever wear real fur? If I could afford it. I’m definitely not anti-fur, as long as the animal hasn’t been treated cruely. It’s the same as leather tbh.

238. Arachnophobia or Eight Legged Freaks? Neither. DO NOT WANT.

239. What are your feelings about police officers? I admire and respect them, and will always co-operate.

240. What is your favorite line from a song? Currently “I am temperamental and I have imperfections and I am emotional, there’ll be no more pretending” from Christina Aguilera’s ‘I Am’. This is a very changeable answer though.

241. Is fifty dollars a lot of money? Hmm, I’m not sure what the exchange rate is atm. It’s probably not a lot of money to me but it’s relative to your situation.

242. Do you like the band Front 242 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_242)? Never heard of them before.

243. Would you rather have fame, money, or self-satisfaction? Self-satisfaction.

244. What’s your middle name? Louise

245. What is the absolute limit, the craziest thing you would do for a million dollars? Not sure. Right now I’d do about anything except an extreme sport or kill/hurt someone.

246. Are you good, evil or neutral? Neutral. I think we all are. I try to be good but it’s not always successful.

247. Should ebonics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonics) be considered a language? A sub-language of English, I think.

248. What color is your bedroom? What color would you like it to be? It’s a rented flat and we haven’t redecorated or anything so it’s just a neutral magnolia colour. I quite like it as it is tbh but if I was going to change it I’d probably go for a monochrome theme with floral wallpaper on one wall - a bit like this one.

249. When are you planning to move to a new home? When Gareth has a job with more money or if I get pregnant, whichever happens first.

250. If you added up the cost of everything in the room with you, approximately what would it come out to be? Um, like £5,000? I’m not really sure.

251. Do you blow your nose in public? Yep. Better than it running down into your mouth. VOM.

252. Do you want to follow in your parent’s footsteps? Yes, in terms of their marriage. No, in terms of their careers.

253. What is the coolest web site you know of? This one :D

254. Which cartoon would you most like to see turned into a movie? Um, of ones that haven’t already been done I’d say ‘Arthur’.

256. Can you eat with chopsticks? Not well.

257. Could you tell real money from counterfeit? Probably not.

259. What ancient civilization would you most like to visit? Greece.

260. What would make a great new Crayola color? Well, they have everything now don’t they? My eye colour…ha. Which is like greeny-yellowy-grey :D

261. If an art project is created with the intent of getting rich and famous, does that cast doubt over its significance as a work of art? No, it’s still significant in that someone has created it to become famous so it would be interesting to see what they thought would make them successful.

262. If you became president, whom would you invite to sing at your inauguration? I’d create a choir made up of lots of different pop & classical stars and it would be awesome.

263. Who is the greatest philosopher of your country? I’m not really aware of any. I’ve looked “British philosophers” up and don’t recognise many of the names. I don’t want to choose one without fully understanding their philosophies and I’m sorry but I’m not reading them all now. PASS.

264. If all the nations in the world are in debt, where did all the money go? IKR?! I really do not understand international economics. I’m always like “Why can’t we just make some more cash in the Royal Mint?!” Bahahaha. Seriously, if someone can explain this to me in simplified terms I would be very grateful!

265. Is it as easy to make you happy now as it was when you were a child? Yeah, for short-term happiness. You just have to give me something - be it physical affection, something you’ve bought, something you’ve made, or even just your time it’ll make me happy for a while :)

266. Who knows more…you, or your parents? My parents. There’s 2 of them, that’s not a fair knowledge duel!

267. What instrument would you like to be famous for playing? Anything! Maybe something less common though, like, umm….a bassoon?! LOL.

268. Children fill its lungs completely with air. Adults breathe in a more shallow way, not filling their lungs completely. Why the change? I have no idea. That’s quite interesting though. Maybe it’s stress/busyness? Adults don‘t have time to breathe!

269. Would you have sex with a stranger for one million dollars? No. Probably if I was single. WHORE.

270. Are you completely in control of your body? Are you completely in control of your mind? Nope, neither. Wish I was.

271. Which is more romantic: an expensive, glittering bouquet OR flowers that were hand picked as they grew beside the parkway? I’d be more impressed with a bouquet but I think handpicking flowers is really sweet and probably more romantic.

272. Do you know yourself well enough to understand why you feel the way you do? No, not really. I guess I can tell when something’s made me feel a certain emotion but, in general, no.

273. Which do you do more often: let movies, songs and books put your feelings into words for you or put your feelings into words by yourself? I do both but probably more of the former. It’s hard not to.

274. Do you believe celebrities when they are endorsing a product? Occasionally there are cases where you know that the particular celeb really believes in the product but usually it’s just for money and/or exposure.

275. What kind of movies do you wish were made more often? Musicals.

276. Does fashion matter to you? Yeah, I’m interested in it but I don’t always follow the rules/trends. I’m quite fussy and a lot of the time I think catwalk trends are hideous. I’ll only wear something if I like it, not because it’s fashionable.

277. Should politicians be held to the same legal standards as everyone else? Absolutely.

278. What do you get in trouble for the most? Being late/missing things because I’ve overslept.

279. Should parents spank their kids? I think it’s down to the individual parent. I disagree with using an object to hit with, though.

280. What is your worst daily habit? Staying in bed too much!

281. If you had your choice which one TV show would you have canceled? I don’t really watch things if I know I won’t enjoy them so it’s hard to say. I’ve just thought for ages and nothing springs to mind. If you don’t like a show, just ignore it!

282. Do you like the taste of sweet or salt? Both. I’m more sweet-toothed though.

283. Are you very precise about what words you use to describe your feelings and thoughts? When I’m writing I am, but when speaking it sort of just blurts out….

284. What do you feel the most guilty about? Being an utter bitch to people at times.

285. Do you meditate? Not very often but I would really like to regularly.

286. Can dreams be visions, or do you feel they are always random images? They *can* be visions but I think that’s very rare.

287. Do you try to write/say what you are feeling in a true and simple way? I always try to be truthful about my feelings, where possible, but I wouldn’t say I articulate them simply, especially not when I’m writing!

288. The thief _______ that everyone steals. What verb would you fill in the blank with? “Claims”.

290. Are you ever afraid to write/say/think how you feel? Yes.

291. Do you write/say/think it anyway or become intimidated and try to avoid it? Well, you can’t not think something once you’ve started thinking about so I definitely do that. I also sometimes write things anyway but if I’m really worried about saying something aloud then, chances are, I won’t.

292. What is one thing you can’t do? Be in open spaces.

293. Do you like movies starring Charleton Heston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleton_Heston)? Im not sure I’ve ever seen one.

296. Are you trying to find yourself? Always.

297. Where are you looking? Good question!

298. Are you sometimes afraid of being honest because you are afraid of hurting people’s feelings? Yes. I will always opt for a white lie instead of hurting someone, unless I feel it’s something they really need to hear.

299. What would make you a stronger person? Overcoming anxiety/agoraphobia.

300. What book would you like to read sometime soon? I’m re-reading all seven ‘Harry Potter’ books atm but I’ve only just started ‘Chamber of Secrets’ and I would like to get a move on because I am excited about book 7. I’ve only read that one once before and I can’t remember it very well.
