Part Four
301. List 5 things you have not experienced that you would like to experience before you die.

A - Travel extensively

B - Give birth

C - Get something published

D - Record a song in a proper studio

E - Play the lead in a musical

302. Will you try to accomplish any of these things within the next year? I’ll try but I’m willing to give them a lot more time than a year.

303. What do you feel controlled by? My mental health.

304. If Jesus appeared to you and told you that the moon was made of green cheese would you believe him? If it was 100% definitely Jesus then yes.

305. What is one thing you are sure of? Right now, I love Gareth more than anything.

306. At what part of the day do you feel the most alert? Evening.

307. Have you ever played in a band? No and I would absolutely love to.

308. Have you ever stared into the ocean thinking ‘early creatures crawled outta that’? No. *cough*bollocks*cough*.

309. If not, what do you think of when you are staring into the ocean? Either how peaceful & beautiful it is or how powerful & awesome it is. Depending on how rough it is, obv.

310. Do you like the mental challenge of chess or other games? I can’t play chess but I would be interested to learn. I’m not a very logical person but I do enjoy the challenge, yes. I’ve recently started playing Windows backgammon.

311. Do you ever think of where your atoms were before they were in you? Can’t say I do. Were they not, um, in my parents? Or not yet created? :s

312. Do you ever think about where your atoms will go after they have been in you? Sort of. I suppose it depends whether you get buried or cremated but back to the earth, eventually.

313. If you didn’t know that people couldn’t fly do you think that you could? No. I have no wings. Or engines. Ha.

314. Are you someone that others call when they’re having a problem and want to talk about it? Sometimes. I am good at that tbh. If you have a problem, call me!

315. When it comes to literature, do you see beyond the writing and into the meaning intended by the author? Being an English student I am forced to! Sometimes I do it instinctively, other times it pisses me off. There isn’t *always* a hidden meaning!

316. Is there anything you can take apart completely, and then put back together, and have no left over parts? No. Well, I’ve never tried. Not into mechanics and stuff.

317. What are your feelings about the death penalty? I don’t agree with it.

318. If there was a god and you could ask him/her one question what would it be? There is a God and I do ask him questions :)

319. Do you believe that life will be found on other planets? Already mentioned this in a previous section - I think it’s a possibility but in another galaxy.

320. What is something worth suffering for? Someone you love.

321. If you could put an extra eye on your body anywhere you wanted, where would you put it? On my thumb. Then I could move it into convenient positions and do some spying, oh yeahhh!

322. Are you in touch with the earth and nature? Usually not. Sometimes when I’m in the countryside I feel closer to nature, though.

323. Would you rather live simply or extravagantly? Extravagantly.

324. Have you ever been camping? Yeah, only a few times at Christian events.

325. Is your heart open when you meet someone new? Not immediately but if we engage in a conversation I guess it generally is.

326. Are you able to have conversations with and become friends with people who are not like you and are interested in different things than you are? Absolutely. It’s fascinating.

327. Are strangers more beautiful or frightening to you? Depends on how they look and behave tbh.

328. What stops you from doing everything you want to do? Anxiety/Agoraphobia. And also laziness.

329. Can you think of three adjectives that do not apply to you at all? Calm, tidy and emotionally-stable.

330. How do you feel about Jeremy Jaynes, who got a nine year prison sentence for spamming people with junk email (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Jaynes)? I’d never heard of him before but how interesting. I do think what he did should be a criminal offence, especially seeing as he STOLE email addresses, and the fact that his conviction was overturned is a bit of a joke tbh. Nine years does seem a bit harsh, though.

331. Do you know who the current premier of China is? I didn’t even know the Chinese leader was called a premier. Shameful.

332. Are you very active? Hah, no. I am a sloth. And not proud of it.

333. Is there a city that reminds you of the landscape of your brain? WUT? That is potentially the oddest question so far. Um, no.

334. Have you ever loved someone who has loved you back? Yep.

335. Is it really being ‘in love with’ someone if the other person doesn’t love you? Hmm, yeah. Intense unrequited love can definitely count as that.

336. Do you believe that there is someone perfect for everyone or that people just fall in love with who ever they are with at the time? I believe everyone has a soulmate but that some people let their’s go :(

337. Do you know secret things? Nothing majorly exciting.

338. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have? Not really. Looking back I would warn myself about them but there was nothing terribly wrong with them - they were just typical late teen guys with shit attitudes towards women.

339. How do you overcome your fears? Focus on something else, usually by talking to someone or creating physical pain as a distraction.

340. What can you do better than anyone you know? Persuade Gareth to do anything ;) [/manipulativebitch]

341. Would you benefit from a wilder existence? I think I would. I feel so much calmer when I’m out of a city and away from technology. I don’t think I’d be great at living without comforts though. Or hunting and fending for myself!

342. Does it seem to you like the range of socially acceptable behavior is getting smaller or larger? I think more behaviours are becoming acceptable but more words/phrases/names/terminology are becoming unacceptable. I do not approve.

343. Have you ever fired a gun? No.

344. Are people becoming more afraid of each other? Maybe…

345. If you had to choose the percentage of freedom vs. safety what ratio would you decide on (ex: 100% free 0% safe)? 50/50 sounds pretty spot on.

346. Does safety stifle you? Not that I’ve ever noticed.

347. Who or what needs to be stopped? Terrorism.

348. Are human beings becoming more domesticated? I think it’s been pretty much at a constant for the last 50 years or so.

349. Do you follow the lives of the British Royal Family? A bit. I like royalty (I *am* a princess, after all xD) but I’m don’t obsessively follow what all of them do. I want to know more about Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie, actually.

350. How did the death of Pope John Paul II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II) affect you? It didn’t, particularly. I watched his funeral on TV as it was intersting and, sure, it was sad. But he was old and I don’t like Catholicism so…meh.

351. Have you ever lost something and never found it? My pink lifeboat rubber in primary school :( I KNOW you stole it Felicity, you bitch!

352. Do you listen to any talk radio shows? No. It’s all about the music. Unless I hear of a show that I’m particularly interested in, in which case I may tune in.

353. Who do you trust more, your friends or your parents? My parents. Unless Gareth counts as a friend.

354. Would you ever date someone outside of your race or religion? I don’t plan on dating anyone else but race yes, religion no.

355. Which of the 7 deadly sins is the worst (gluttony, greed, pride, lust, envy, wrath, sloth)? They’re all pretty bad but I’d probably say wrath or lust as they can cause the most pain to others.

356. Which one are you most guilty of? All of them! Aren’t we all at times? I would say I am mostly guilty of sloth and gluttony and, to a lesser extent, envy and wrath.

357. Are you afraid to be alone with yourself? Do you try to avoid thinking? I sometimes feel like that but I’m alone a lot of the time anyway. I can’t avoid thinking. Ever.

358. Would you venture to tell someone you loved him or her if they didn’t say it first? Yes.

359. What are you the most sensitive about? My appearance.

360. What can you talk about for hours? God/Christianity. Music/musical theatre. Literature, esp things like ‘Harry Potter’ :)

361. Do you talk about yourself, other people, or ideas the most? Um. I actually have no idea. I think it’s pretty balanced. I shall have to monitor my topic usage xD

362. Do you believe that spell casting can work? No. Maybe as a placebo effect though.

363. Are you a fan of The Legend of Zelda games? I’ve only played a really old version once but I think I would be if I played one now.

364. What old movie would you go see if it were re-released in the movie theaters? Define “old”. I would like to see a lot of movies.

365. Is there a celebrity that you would be too starstruck to talk to if you met them? I don’t think so. I’d be starstruck by anyone mega famous but I think I’d still talk. Maybe Madonna.

366. Have you ever left a mean unsigned note? I’ve thought about it but don’t think I’ve ever carried it out.

367. Do you think it’s cheesy to paste things you didn’t write into your diary? Not if it’s things that are meaningful to you. If you try and pull someone elses work off as your own, though, that’s not cool.

368. What are three things that you try not to think about? Not going to Portsmouth Uni, having no money, the fact that I may never get better.

369. Is casual sex acceptable for you? No.

370. What form of sexual protection do you use? None. Baby time, innit :)

371. What is expected of you that you feel is unnatural or not right? To not be occasionally attracted to women. Some people are so stunning how can you not fancy them?! Regardless of gender!

372. Do you sometimes place your own expectations on other people? I guess everyone does it sub-consciously.

373. Do you sometimes act overeager to make friends when you are around strangers? No. I do swing between being shy and confident, though.

374. Do you take everything that is said literally? Not *everything*. Sometimes things I should know better than to take literally, I do.

375. Do you take most things others say seriously? I judge by their tone/expressions. If I’m not sure I’m likely to actually say “Seriously?!” or “Really?!”.

376. Do you have a quick wit? I think so. When I’m not tired lol.

377. Do you believe in the need for political correctness? Ugh, NO.

378. Do you have strong opinions and beliefs? Yes. If I have a belief or opinion on something it’s always strong but I find many things difficult to make my mind up about. All or nothing.

379. If yes, can you still hang out with and be friends with people who disagree with you? Yeah, absolutely.

380. Are you uptight? Sadly, I usually am.

381. Do you sometimes do risky things? Nope, not often anyway.

382. Could just about anyone hold your interest in a conversation for at least ten minutes? I expect so. As long as they were speaking English. Maybe not proper rough illiterate chavs, though :|

383. Are you self-conscious? Very.

384. What would be your ideal destination for a Saturday afternoon? A beach in the sunshine. With a BBQ.

385. Does anyone have a video tape of you doing something embarassing? Not to my knowledge.

386. What is Kevin Smith’s(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Smith) best movie? I’d never heard of him and haven’t seen most of his stuff but he wrote ‘Coyote Ugly’ and I like that film a lot, so I’ll go with that one.

387. Where do you like to go on Friday or Saturday nights? Out for a meal, to the theatre or to bars/clubs in a new place.

388. Do you like your friends to act the same way all the time or do you accept their moods and changes? Everyone has different moods and it would be absurd to assume otherwise.

389. Do you often feel like other people are judging you? Always. PARANOID.

390. What do you think other people judge you to be like? Fat, ugly, boring, uninteresting, a waste of space.

391. Are you quick to judge others? Yeah but I’m always willing to revoke my judgements. First impressions aren’t always accurate.

392. When you have a fight with someone do you want to talk about it right away or calm down first and then talk? Calm down. Otherwise I am liable to throw things at them.

393. Some say love is a river (according to the old song). What do you say love is? A river is quite an interesting way of looking at love. I say love is woven into the seams of everything we do. (Ok, I’ve never said that before but now I will!)

394. What is the worst fault a person can have? Rudeness.

395. Do you have it? No. Maybe verrrry occasionally.

396. Which do you think has more impact on a person’s character, genetics or environment? Both. It’s 100% a combination but, if I absolutely had to choose, I think environment has the edge.

397. Who was your first best friend? Jess, my “god-sister”. Our parents are god-parents to the other, hence the name.

398. If you are not best friends anymore, what came between you? Time, space, circumstance. We just didn’t see each other as much as we got older and had our own friends. Well, her more than me. I never have many friends. [/emo]

399. Who have you read a biography about? I’ve read quite a few autobiographies but I’m not sure if I’ve read anything by someone other than the person themselves.

400. What would your own autobiography be called? I actually think about this all the time. I guess it would depend on how my life turns out but, if I wrote it now, I’d call it ‘Save Me’.
