: 1. Do you think in pictures, or words?
Words
: 2. Do you dream in color?
Yes
: 3. Can you read body language?
Yes
: 4. Do you prefer working alone, or in a group?
Alone
: 5. Do you enjoy multitasking, or do you prefer one job at a time?
I haven't not multitasked in about 4 years and I know how to do it pretty well, so I'll stick with that.
: 6. First song you think of?
Picture - Sheryl Crow/Kid Rock
: 7. Did you hear words or music or both?
Both
: 8. Most irrational fear?
I wouldn't really classify my fears as irrational. Well, maybe they are. I am always fearful of an accident happening and my daughter dying for some reason or getting some horrible disease or cancer and losing her. She's such a huge part of my life, I just can't imagine life without her. Don't all parents fear this?
I freak over snakes. That's pretty common I'd say.
: 9. Do you wish you had a perfect memory?
No. I really wouldn't want to remember being born. There are some things though that I think slip away from me and I wish they didn't.
: 10. Is happiness a choice or an outcome?
It's a choice. I have seen people get to some very low points in life, but took responsibility or shook it off, overcame, and are happy overall now.
: 11. Defining moment in your life, most significant to who you are today?
Becoming a mother is by far #1.
When I went from second to last chair out of 40 clarinets to second chair. I proved to myself that if I worked hard enough, I could go after anything I have my heart set on. I loved that band director and will never, ever, forget him.
: 12. If you could bring back any extinct species, what would it be?
Blue Pike Fish.
Although they aren't yet, they are so close. Beluga whales. I don't want them to go. :(
: 13. If you could rid the world of one invention what would it be?
Something weapon related I'm sure.
: 14. Which would you prefer, the ability to fly, or turn invisible?
Whoa, that's a really good question.
Invisible. If I could fly, I would basically use that to travel and see the world. If I'm invisible, I can sneak on a plane and go to all those places along with the benefits of hearing and seeing things people don't want you to.
: 15. Are people basically good, tricked into evil, or Evil, trying to be good?
People are good at birth. All the other crap from the minute we're born taints us. I think a majority of us have basic good still in us, but we forget that and allow the other shit to dominate how we live our lives.
: 16. What do you remember most in a memory, emotion, the look, the sounds, the smells?
Emotion with smell as a close runner up.
: 17. Center of attention, supporting cast, or background vocals?
Supporting Cast
: 18. How does a habit of yours best reflects your true personality?
I've been thinking about this one for awhile and haven't come up with something very parallel. Will think more on it.
: 19. Can a place (piece of land, lake, island, etc etc) be good or evil without the influence of people?
Define evil in a instance like this? If evil is natural disasters, yes, I think it can be without incluence of people. But if no people are there, it won't seem evil to anyone.
: 20. Are emotions spiritual, chemical, or other?
Both spiritual and chemical, probably with a mix of other stuff as well.
