1- Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as your dinner guest? As your close friend? As your lover?
Dinner guest: I’d have chosen Mother Theressa or Ghandi, but they are already gone.
Close friend: Well my existing close friends, no more no less.
Lover: No names come to mind.
2- Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by five years to become extremely attractive?
Define “extremely attractive”. I wouldn’t care about a general rating for my attractiveness… I might consider the question though if it’s being more attractive to the person I love… but then, would he want me to pass away five years earlier just to look more attractive to him? :D da yeb2a nadl awy (A)
3- Would you rather spend a month on vacation with your parents or put in overtime at your current job for four weeks without extra compensation?
Well I’d take the vacation; spend a week with my family, 2 weeks and a half with my friends and half a week on my own.
4- When did you last cry by yourself? In front of another person?
Cry by myself: 15 minutes ago.
In front of another person: This afternoon.
5- If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you'd find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
Define a “satisfying life”. Is the question those who’d find their lives more satisfying or that I’d see their life as more satisfying? I guess I am content with my life Thank God.
6- If you had the choice of one intimate soul mate and no other close friends, or of no such soul mate and many friends and acquaintances, which would you choose?
I can’t survive without my close friends. Also, a soul mate can be a blessing or a curse sometimes. I wouldn’t mind one though.
7- Do you think your friends would agree with one another about the kind of person you are?Hmm… it’s hard to tell. I don’t agree with myself about the kind of person I am. I guess certain friends would see some sides clearly, but the others would be dimmed. While others would see the other dimmed ones, with an obscurity on the ones seen clearly by group1 (umm.. My moon sign is gimini, u know? :P).
8- Would you prefer to be blind or deaf?
Neither, but deaf would be more bearable. At least I won’t be hearing any nonsense gossip or backbiting.
9- How many of your friendships have lasted more than ten years? Which of your current friends do you feel will still be important to you ten years from now?
Two I guess, may be three.
It’s not only up to me. It depends highly on the mutual willingness to keep the bond. I’d say 5 or 6 of my current closest friends (hopefully).
10- If you could mould to your liking your memories of any past experience, would you do so?Huh?.
11- Would you be content with a marriage of the highest quality in all respects but one that it completely lacked sex?
"Highest quality " as in what?? (Copied and pasted from Rain’s answer :P smart one ya Rain (A) ). Well actually not, taking into consideration being human, umm… and a Taurus, Leo, Cancer combination (A)
12- If you were happily married, and then met someone you felt was certain to always bring you deeply passionate, intoxicating love, would you leave your spouse? What if you had kids?
I’m determined not to get married unless I do have such feelings for the one I’m marrying in the first place.
13- Relative of the population at large? How do you rate your physical attractiveness? Your intelligence? Your personality?
Physical attractiveness: May be we should go ask “the population at large” :P.
My intelligence: There are different aspects to intelligence. My language, emotional and personal intelligence are doing pretty well I believe. My social and girly chit chatting intelligence is kinda (or waaaaay) below average. Analytical is good, problem solving, observance and memory fluctuate based on many factors. (I did say my analytical intelligence is good, didn’t I (A) :P).
My personality: Well... Puzzling! It’s full of too many different things; some are just a shell, others represent the core. The opinion would vary based on the angle you are looking from.
14- If you could script the basic plot for the dream you will have tonight, what would the story be?
umm... connection to server failed. (I hate geek talk, but I guess I’d only get technical nightmares tonight for some reason).
15- While out one day, you are surprised to see your father holding hands with someone who is clearly his lover, he begs you not to say anything to your mother. How would you respond? What if your mother later told you that she was going crazy thinking that your father was having an affair yet knew it was just her imagination?
My father is a Virgo :D I don’t even have to consider that possibility (A).
16- If you had to spend the next 2 years inside a small but fully provisioned Antarctic shelter with one other person, whom would you like to have with you?
Someone I’m so deeply in love with, and married to.
17- You become involved romantically but after 6 months realize you need to end the relationship. If you were certain the person would commit suicide if you were to leave and were also certain you could not be happy with the person, what would you do?
I would keep thinking and thinking and thinking, and feeling guilty more and more each day until I realize I can’t go on. I’d never want to be in the position of being with someone who’s not in love with me and accordingly I wouldn’t want to put anyone in such a position. I would try to provide support after the break-up and convince him to see things in the right perspective and forget the “Committing suicide” idea.
18- What was your most enjoyable dream? Your worst nightmare?
Best: I can’t remember one specifcally, but something that would involve a garden full of roses and butterflies or something that would have an exotic beach in a deserted island (6 days 7 nights movie kinda thing).
Worst: Going out in the street and realizing I don’t have my shoes on or Falling. I used to get those dreams when I was a little girl but not anymore. Also the one having to do with being in an exam and not caring abt answering a thing at the beginning then running out of time at the end(A).
19- If by sacrificing your life you could contribute so much to the world you would be honored by all nations, would you be willing to do so? If so, would you make the sacrifice knowing that someone you thoroughly disliked would received that honor while you went unrecognized?
I wouldn't care about acknowledgement, but I might think twice about how my family and close friends would feel. I would tell them all about it first, spend as much time as I can with them, give them huge teary hugs and bid them a warm farewell. I don’t like the “Elephants go hide when they feel they are dying” kinda thing.
20- Would you like your spouse to be both smarter and more attractive than you are?
Smarter definitely, more attractive… hmm... may be :P.
21- You discover that your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try and correct the mistake?
Logic says yes. But it’s impossible to answer not being in the situation and not having experienced maternity feelings yet. But I’d make sure both kids would be part of my life somehow.
22- When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
To myself : Yesterday.
To someone else : can’t remember.
23- Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex?
MEN of course. Not really, although I’m not content with all the fun I’m missing, but I do love my feminity (A).
24- What are your most compulsive habits? Do you regularly struggle to break these habits?Umm… nopes I guess I’m more of an impulsive person. I find it hard to maintain a habit in the first place (A).
25- Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided but you would not see another person.
Nopes nopes nopesssss.
I’d have liked the idea if asked a few years ago, but not anymore.
26- If you knew you would die of an incurable disease within 3 months, would you allow yourself to be frozen within the week if you knew it would give you a modest chance of being revived in 1,000 years and living a greatly extended life?
Huh? And wake up in a time that is not mine, among strangers, 1000 years from now in a world getting colder and colder everyday? No thank you! I’d rather live every moment of those 3 months and try to make the best out of them among my loved ones.
27- You are invited to a party that will be attended by many fascinating people you have never met. Would you want to go if you had to go by yourself?
I could go yes. My sense of adventure is sometimes high.
28- If you were at a friend's house for thanksgiving dinner and you found a dead cockroach in your salad, what would you do?
I won't eat the salad and won't make a fuss about it.
29- If someone you love deeply is brutally murdered and you know the identity of the murderer, who unfortunately is acquitted of the crime. Would you seek revenge?
Well I wouldn’t kill, but I’d make sure to rid the world of him “somehow”.
