58. Who is the person you respect the most? Despise the most? Why?

I have around 7 friends who are close to me. My best friend... probably Jet-san!
61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex?
I hardly talk, regardless of any of those.
62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex?
Race and class doesn't really matter to me, just like I said above. But if a boy I think is cute talks to me about anything more personal than a question about claas/home work, I'll admit it- I'll run.
63. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
*face sets*
The first time, we parted mutually. I was leaving for a different school- we haven't talked since. I've seen him since, though, and he doesn't even recognize me. It's better that way.
The second time, I had a GIANT crush on the boy. I don't know where he went, but he moved halfway through the year. I nearly had a prejudice on Katrina cause she replaced him. I was heartbroken. I'd still like to know where he is.
The third, we became friends, never boyfriend-girlfriend (even though we both had a crush on each other- go figure). Yes, that was Kuroda.
The fourth treated me like a jerk when I told him. He has apoligized, and I said I wasn't mad anymore- a beautifully done lie, but a lie all the same. I still want revenge for all those sleepless nights.
64. What do you look for in a potential lover?
You mean boyfriend/significant other, right? I had a dream, long ago. He had dark hair, and tanned skin. I'm still waiting for him. In that dream... that was the most love I've EVER felt.
65. How close are you to your family?
VERY close. Ryuu and me almost never fight, and all of us cousins and such get along pretty well, when we DO see each other.
66. Do you want a marriage, family, and/or children?
Marriage and Family? Possibly. But I definitely want a child. If I never marry, I'll adopt.
67. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
What's the issue? There are some I readily concede, others I'll go into a full on rage to get my way. *laughs* I can be very stubborn.
68. Are you a listener or a talker?
Definitely a listener!
69. How long does it usually take for you to trust others?
It takes me a while to warm up to people- Sasa can tell you that. I was VERY cautious, when I first met her, but if you have persistance, you can get to the real me. If your persistance isn't annoying, that is.
70. Do you hold grudges?
Yup.
71. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
No way!
72. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?
It depends who's in the group.
73. How well do you express yourself?
Not very well, I'm afraid!
74. How quickly do you judge others?
Pretty quickly, but my opinion changes over time.
75. Do you care what others think of you?
Who are these "others"? Are they people I want as friends?
76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy?
No "enemies", persay- but if I continue to be so sarcastic, I may gain some!
77. What is your favorite pasttime? Color? Food? Possession?
Internet; green; Spaghetti; Senri-bear!
78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment?
Oldies for music, or gothish music. I like manga and anime, and love Monty Python's Spamalot. Um, I draw some, too. I guess.
79. Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not?
No, no, HELL no, and no. Unless insulin for my diabetes counts. Why not? Because those things are BAD!
80. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Internet. TOTAL technogeek.
81. What is your most cherished fantasy?
Um, I don't know... but I wouldn't share it with just anyone! ><
82. How long is your attention span?
It's pretty short! *laughs*
83. Do you laugh a lot? What do you find funny?
I laugh a lot. I love Jet's antics- they're what make me laugh the most. So does Momiji, and when anything out of the ordinary happens that's crazy.
84. Is there anything that shocks or offends you? If so, what?
I can't understand it when people are mean just because they can. It always kind of scares me.
^ another one from Miji-san. ^
85. How do you deal with stress?
I nearly faint, on occasion. It gives me a headache, so I go lie down.
86. How much athletic ability do you have? Artistic?
I have agility, but no actual athletic ability. I can draw pretty well, though.
87. Do you like animals? Do you like children?

Pretty spontaneous.
89. What are your pet peeves?
Girly girls, for one. "Omg! Did you hear what happened to
90. What is your greatest strength as a person? Weakness?
I have a deep maternal instinct. This will be both my greatest strength AND probably my downfall.
91. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I'd make myself less anti-social. No, that defines me, nevermind. I'd learn how to say what people want to hear, so that I stop causing random pauses in the conversation after I speak.
92. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Introverted.
93. Do you like yourself?
Contrary to popular belief, yes.

96. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
In 5 years, I'll be in high school... right? 10, probably in a vet practice somewhere. 20, smiling at my daughter/son.
97. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
In my sleep.
98. What is the one thing you would like to be remembered for after your death?
A motherly girl who loved and was loved. Can ya'll remember that? *grins*
