Shitty

Wow, seriously?!  Extrovert obviously

62. Have you ever taken a personality test? (How did the results turn out?)

Way long time ago, and I have no fucking clue I can’t remember back that far

63. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Their wariness of others

64. Do you think people can control their own destiny?

Nope

65. Do you think all people are equally valuable, or do you think some people in certain situations might be more valuable than others (say, a severely retarded patient vs. a doctor who could potentially save hundreds of lives)?

I had to think about this one a little bit.  I think there is beauty in those that people find broken.  Those are the most valuable because they can teach us more than any educated asshole out there.  And a doctor can only save lives if they aren’t arrogant about it.  It needs to come from a good place, and helping and healing place, not just because they HAVE to.

66. Do you think people are basically bad or basically good?

I think people are basically stupid and ignorant and have forgotten how to use their brains effectively to make the right decision.  There are good and bad people, but as a whole, we’re idiotic robots that believe everything because mass media and Google and Wikipedia say so.

67. Do you think morals are universal or relative to the beliefs, traditions, and practices of individuals or groups?

I think people have forgotten morals period.  I don’t think they are universal, because if they were, wouldn’t the world be less shit than it is?  But I also believe that morals can be twisted by groups to fit their belief system.  Again, we as a whole have forgotten how to think for ourselves and be individuals.

68. Do you think God exists?

Sticky question…I think everyone is entitled to their own belief of a God, Gods, Goddesses and/or Higher Powers.  I personally don’t believe in a Christian God that created the universe as I am of a Scientific mind, but I do think there is something bigger than me out there other than us.

69. Do you think any kind of afterlife exists?

No, I think if you can’t get it right, then we are reincarnated until we do

70. Do you vote? Why / Why not? If you do vote, how do you usually vote?

Yes I do, because then I can say I voted and I have a right to bitch about how shit isn’t going the way those mother fuckers said they were going to change things.  I vote on who I think will least fuck shit up.

71. Do you think gay people choose to be gay? Do you think straight people choose to be straight?

This is touchy for me.  No, I don’t think we chose to be gay or straight.  I think it is in our DNA and Genes and we are predestined to love who we love as we wish.  Gay, Straight, Transgender doesn’t mean shit to me.  People are people and should be allowed to love and marry as such.

72. Is torture ever a good option? If no, why not? If yes, when?

Fuck no it’s not.  Because Karma, that’s why

73. Would you kill an innocent person if you thought it might mean saving a dozen other people?

Nope.  It is not my place to take a life even if it means saving others, unless I am sacrificing myself then I’ll do that shit in a heartbeat

74. What’s the most money you’ve ever given away?

Given away?  Maybe $20.  I’ve never had the financial stability to do that

75. What’s the biggest personal change you’ve ever made?

Accepting my diagnosis of Bipolar 1 and actively participating in my therapy-medication and talk therapy, and then admitting when I need help when I’m all fucked up

76. What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?

Buying a car while manic

77. What do you think would be one of the best steps we could take toward ending poverty around the world?

Stop letting men run the world

78. What do you think we could do to best improve the education system?

Stop letting men run the world

79. In general, what do you think about art?

I think it’s amazing that someone can create something without an actual visual guideline.  I’m quite jealous of people who can create art.  I also think that art can be interpreted many ways and that’s what makes it even cooler.

80. What are some of your favorite websites?

WordPress

81. What’s the biggest turnoff in a man/woman?

Arrogance.  Seriously I could hit someone in their mouth for that shit.  It’s a trigger for me

82. What’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told?

That my Gramma had a stroke and was in Intensive Care so I wouldn’t have to go to work

83. What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I wanted to me a Marine Biologist after seeing the movie Free Willy, and I can STILL write a Badass essay-got an A++ on my Chernobyl Essay in science class in 7th grade

84. What’s something you wish everyone knew about you?

That behind all my humor I am scared to death of letting people in

85. What are some of the first things you do in the morning?

Look at the clock on my phone and wonder why the fuck I’m awake…then cover my head to get more sleep only to be accosted by May, so then I get up and go pee

86. What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you?

Being molested by my Dad’s co-worker and the feeling of utter powerlessness I had at 9

87. Do you cry easily?

Fuck yes I do

88. How do you feel about public speaking?

Nervous, then I just go in there and charm the pants off people

89. Do you like to talk on the phone?

I love it

90. How many emails do you get each week, roughly?

Fuck if I know.  I have so many blog updates I get and comments and emails from blog friends…I don’t even bother to count

91. If someone were to make a movie about your life, who would you hope would play you?

Anna Kendrick

92. What’s one of your favorite questions to ask new friends or to get a conversation going?

Depends on the place that I’ve met said new friend.  Mostly it’s along the lines of “I cuss like a sailor and I don’t give a fuck.  How’s your day?”

93. Would you ever sky dive or bungee jump?

Hell yes to both

94. Have you ever been in a fist fight?

Nope and I don’t ever plan too unless I’m defending my children, then all bets are off

95. What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled?

Putting my stuffed cat on my great aunt’s foot stool and watched her freak the fuck out because it looks so life-like

96. What did you do on your 16th birthday?

I don’t fucking remember…maybe color guard practice?

97. What do you think is one of the most undervalued professions right now?

Nurse and Stay at home parents are tied.  Both sacrifice and don’t get any appreciation or a fucking thank you for all that they do

98. How would you explain your basic life philosophy?

No matter what, love.  It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the world, you can always find light in the dark, love in the hate, happiness in the sadness.  Don’t let shit consume you and make you bitter.  Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, not work yourself to death for what?  I nice house and a nice car and all kinds of material shit?  Fuck that.  Families need each other, and memories should be made.  Just fucking LIVE and LOVE.

99. Would you rather be hated or forgotten?

Hated, because then I know I’d made a fucking impact on this planet

100. If you knew you would die tomorrow, would you feel cheated today?

No, because I have been as honest to myself as I can be, and I have lived the best I could no matter all the fucked up and great stuff in my life.  I have 2 beautiful children, and I fell in love.  Those can’t be taken from my heart.

 

So there you go.  The deeper side of Sass.
