Here are some questions that I would like you to answer. Some of them are rather philosophical and (purposefully) vague, so feel free to skip questions if they seem too difficult to answer.
I also haven't intended there to be any "right" way to answer them, so just say whatever you feel like saying. I will read all replies, even if I wouldn't have anything to say about your answers.
For those who were active on last such topic of mine, these are largely the same questions. I didn't get a lot of replies that time so I just thought that I'd try it again.

Eh, a bit bored,why not.
-Is it music album or movie soundtrack, or music or movie? I'll go with the latter. Wreck-it Ralph. Great story, great characters, theme that doesn't try to step down to be a children's movie (or a fan pandering movie as the initial reactions expected it to be), amazing soundtrack, a really nice moral which isn't easily twisted. -Drawing, writing, vidya gaemz, watching animated anything, not really a hobby but listening to people. Fun and relaxation, most of the time at least, and sometimes busy work like grinding,researching or coloring easily gets my mind off of stressful useless thoughts. -A course on storyboards or something along those lines. From what I read practicing writing and drawing already compensates a lot of it, but I want to know the specifics. -Getting paid for my work proper(not just whatever we get out of donations) :U -Probably getting into uni on general effort and months spent, but personally walking on my own to the bakery. It's preeeetty far from home, and not having a nervous breakdown over the mostly quiet streets was a massive commitment for me last year. -Actually apologizing and genuinely being sorry about it or at least having intention of making amends. Most who wronged me don't bother with that. -I have plenty of time already on vacations :I Would totes draw more if my active hours were more plentiful though, I spend too much time to start and by then it's late. -Hah nope. Usually associate it with stress and having to live up to a standard or not screwing up when opening my mouth,but with people who know me enough it's calm content. -Donating money to Extra Life was a big one, but even if people call it nothing but duty, doing chores to make it easier for others in the house. -Yeah, if I didn't what would be the point? I'd rather aim high even if I'll hit just decent. -Well, I'm attempting to change for the better right now, I want to keep that up. -In some areas. Be a sucessful game artist, and have a job I can love and enjoy without sacrificing other parts of life. -There's no such thing as a limit to improvement. -Sometimes, when I'm not chewing myself out over dumb acts. I try to act grateful and make use of it,but sometimes there's just things that wasted someone else's time that I can't find a use for. -Same as hope; if it doesn't,then it'd be boring and I'd rather not find out. Even something as silly as 'to improve and make a meaning for ourselves', it's a start. -Always improve on your better half, avoid harming others,but learn when to let things go.

- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
1. I think my favorite music album is probably Vices and Virtues by Panic! At the Disco. I was in a pretty bad place when I first listened to it, and I relate to a lot of the lyrics, so it means a lot to me. My favorite movie by far is Guardians of the Galaxy. It had some very weird source material so it didn't take itself too seriously, and it was packed with a ton of excellent action and humor. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? 2. Gaming and acting are really my only hobbies, and I don't get very much out of them tbh :/ - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. 3. I've always wanted to climb Mount Everest, but it's so dangerous and I don't know the first thing about climbing so it'd be next to impossible for me. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? 4. The greatest thing that could happen to me right now is finding someone that loves, accepts, and respects me. I didn't have any of those things in my last major relationship, so it'd be nice. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? 5. Definitely my Type 1 Diabetes. It's hard to juggle all the things I have to do, like testing my blood sugar and taking insulin, and I just need to make it a habit, but I just can't for some reason. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? 6. Honestly, I don't think I could ever forgive someone who wronged me greatly. Maybe with a lot of time and a change in how they once treated me would do it, but I keep grudges forever. And I mean FOREVER. - What would you do if you had more time? 7. I'm gonna assume this means "time on Earth", so if I lived longer, I'd do my best to get rich, then donate a large amount of what I've saved up to good causes. There's a lot of people suffering out there, and no one deserves to live like some people are living. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? 8. I guess I could consider myself a people person. When it comes to large groups that I don't know, I get very uncomfortable, but if it's in the company of a few close friends, I'm totally at ease. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? 9. Today, when I took my mom out to lunch because she won a difficult case. She'd been really stressed out lately and I'm glad she's much happier. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? 10. Of course I do. Even if something terrible happens to the human race, it's nothing we can't get through with perseverance. We always bounce back, it's basically human nature. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? 11. I'd like to think I'll change for the better. I'm not exactly the best person (in my opinion) to begin with, so hopefully I'll be a better person in the future. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? 12. Kinda, I guess. The only dream I really have is to build a family that accepts me for who I am, both personality-wise and gender-wise. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? 13. It's gonna sound really cheesy, but "with great power comes great responsibility." I was pretty much raised on Spider-Man, so that's the one thing I hold above all else. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? 14. Not really. I have pretty low self esteem and I think extremely poorly of myself, but everyone around me is so wonderful and caring, it just feels like I don't deserve such a good life. I have great friends, a loving mother, a nice house with just about everything I want, but It feels like I'm far from deserving of all of this. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? 15. It has to. Otherwise, what's the point? - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? 16. To be kind to others, enjoy everything as much as you can, and with great power comes great responsibility. |

- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
I'm not sure if you're asking for my favorite movie, my favorite album, or my favorite movie OST, so I'll answer them all. Movies, I'm not sure. The ones up there are Captain America: Winter Soldier, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and The Town. Those are probably my 3 favorites as of now. Albums, well, I've only ever bought one album, and that was the Halo Reach OST, so I'm going to go with the Halo Reach OST. Movie OST has to be the Star Wars series. I know it's not just one movie, but the music is so good, I can't choose which movie. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? It's kinda sad, but I don't have many hobbies. Although, if you count these, playing video games, collecting lightsabers (it's not a phase I swear), and I play the piano at times if that works. I used to be into drawing, and I've been told I wasn't bad at it, but I didn't really draw anymore after around September, and I haven't drawn since. Well, except for one time back in early December, but I was really bad so I gave up halfway through. - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. Know the location and a little bit about every country in the world. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Well, the easy answer is lots of money, but money only brings sadness in the long run. It'd be hard, if not impossible, to find a partner that actually truly cares about you and 100% doesn't want you just for your money. So probably finding that special someone could be the best thing for me right now. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? I wouldn't say that I have had a challenging life compared to other users, so I don't think I can fairly answer this question. Most of my "challenging" things really aren't as challenging as they make out to be, and they're solved in a week, or a month. The only thing that comes to mind is getting in my 50 hours of community service required to graduate high school. I already have ~15 hours, but I have less than 2 years left, so I really have to get working on that. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? It honestly would depend on the circumstances. How much did I trust them before? How long for? And what did they do? If it's enough for me to lose all my trust for them, it'd be hard for me to gain any back, even in the slightest. - What would you do if you had more time? Learn. I love learning. I'd learn all day if I had time. I do enjoy school, but not the homework and grading part. The social part isn't huge in my life, but it's not like it doesn't add to the bonus of going to school. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? Once I get to know the person, I'm usually pretty chatty. I do enjoy talking with people, but I'm also pretty shy, if that makes sense. I'm the last person to engage in conversation with a stranger, but if I know the person, I'll probably be the one to talk first. Although, I don't really like groups of people, unless it's my closest friends. I don't tend to get involved in group conversations for some reason; I feel kinda intimidated by something I'm not sure the word of. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I feel like this is a trick question to make us feel big headed :Y I can't remember any outstanding times recently, but I do try my best to be a selfless person, and to help others. It's kinda my goal in life to help others, and that's why I want to become a police officer. So I can have the tools to further assist, and I'll get to do it every day. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? I hope I'll change as a person in the future. I always have an image of who I want to be, or who I'm going to be in a few years, but I find, as the years go by, I'm pretty much the same person. So yeah, I do think I'll change, but I'm pretty sure I won't, or at least I won't notice it. My mom, dad, and teachers have all said I've changed, but I don't see it. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? My greatest dream is to have a happy family, and be able to provide for them. My goal is to have a happy and stable relationship with a woman I'd be able to call my wife, and, depending on her wishes, have loving children along with her. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? Jar Jar is Snoke. It all makes too much sense. Honestly, I don't have an actual answer for this. I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. I believe in anything that's proven, and I believe to be the right thing to do. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? Not at all. I don't feel like I deserve the life I'm given, and the care everyone shows me. I don't see that great of a person in myself, and I just see myself as someone who takes off of my family and gives nothing in return. When I look at the horrible conditions my cousins back in England live in, I'd give anything for them to take my place, and live over here with us. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? Everyone's life has meaning, even if you haven't found it yet. I'm not sure what mine is yet, but I'd like to think it's something positive. - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? Don't be an asshole, try to love yourself, and don't judge people for their actions. Instead, judge them for their intent. |

What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
That's a difficult one to answer, but if I had to pick my favorite films, it would have to be The Secret of NIMH and Beauty and the Beast. Both are very enchanting and entice you in their world. I feel very nostalgic when I watch them and I get swept away by the tribulations the characters are facing. As for my favorite album, I guess the first one to pop into my head would Night Visions or Smoke & Mirrors from Imagine Dragons. Everything they make is good. I cannot think of a bad song from them. What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? My biggest hobbies are drawing, singing, and acting. I find them very enjoyable and fun to do. Freedom of expression as well, I suppose. I love doing anything creative. Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. Sing on stage. What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Either getting a serious boost of self esteem or winning the lottery so that my mother doesn't have to constantly live in a world of debt. What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? Accepting change and looking towards the future. In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? If they are open and honest. If their apology is sincere and they will learn to improve. What would you do if you had more time? Learn to play multiple instruments and speak other languages. Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? There isn't much else in the world (except for animals) that makes me happier than being with other people. I love to socialize and have fun. Friendship is so important to me. What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? In a general sense, I try to give as much as possible. When someone needs something, I do whatever I can to make sure they're happy. Nothing hurts me more than when I see other people in need. As for a specific time? I suppose volunteering at the animal shelter. Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? I look at life optimistically. Only time can heal the sorrows we all endure. If you don't look at life with a positive attitude, it's not going to get better. You create your own happiness. Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? I used to think, "I'm not going to get more mature than this," but that's an ignorant statement. Time and surroundings change people, so no doubt will the same apply to me. I would hope it would be for the better. I think I've had a steady increase in being a better person. Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? Despite how much I complain, I wouldn't be satisfied unless I did the best I possibly could. My greatest dream in life to find happiness. Meet new people, make new friends, fall in love. It's also always been an unrealistic dream of mine to become an animator for Disney. Crazy, but a part of me wishes it could happen. What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? Treat everyone with kindness and give to others. Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? "Deserve" sounds like a self righteous word. I feel like I have so much stuff I don't need, and it saddens me when I see people with less struggling to get by. I wish I could give more. Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? You create your own meaning. I don't think there is a divine plan. You decide what will fufill your life and give you happiness. Do whatever makes you feel content. If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? Savor each pizza slice as if it's your last. Surround yourself with people who will bring you happiness. Even when your world is glum, look towards a brighter future. |

tablet is being very finnicky so this might be hard to read
EDIT: just remembered something about the first question - What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much? Favorite movie is probably Drive, I just love the style of the movie. Moving onto albums on the other hand, it's probably Knife Man by Andew Jackson Jihad, I've got a lot of memories associated with it and it's the album that got me into folk punk. Shout out to High Violet by The National too, Bomtur Til Jorda by Kråkesølv, Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing by The Wonder Years, What's Life Without Losers by Mikhael Paskalev (I rarely listen to this one these days, but I absolutely loved it at one point), Debut by Björk, What the Hell Do I Know? by Illinois (It's not my type of style these days, but I used to love the last track on it soooo much), both Quiet Is The New Loud and Riot On An Empty Street by Kings of Convenience aaaaaaaand some stupid hipster **** I won't list. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? Learning languages is the big one, I get to explore a lot of cultures more in depth and really appreciate them, it's also really relaxing... for the most part. Drawing is also something I love, I'm still bad at it but eh, it's fun. - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. Travellingggggg. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Out of nowhere getting plane tickets to another country I love, or a hamburger with jalapeños rn would be pretty nice, either way. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? Probably having a schizophrenic mom who is in complete denial, that ****ed up me a lot as a kid and nearly got me taken away by child protective services. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? Honestly It's pretty hard for me not to forgive someone after three seconds, it's annoying as hell, so this guy would have to like kill my cat on purpose, which is unforgivable and I don't think I could forgive them. - What would you do if you had more time? I haven't really planned that far ahead xD. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? Yes I love people, I associate warmness, security and other mushy stuff like that with other people, especially close friends. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? My self esteem is too low to answer this one. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? Yeah, might as well be optimistic about it. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? Definitely, everyone is always changing, I'll sometimes change for worse and sometimes for better, it's just how you learn. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream I guess?, my biggest dream is to move to another country I think, Australia is cool but I want to experience more than some mother****ing island in the middle of nowhere. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? Oh god I don't even know how to answer this one. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? I'm no more deserving or less deserving than anyone else. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has Uhhhh, I'm supposed to do the dingley dangley and produce small humans. - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be?

Very interesting answers. I'm surprised that so many took the challenge of answering them all.
I'll post my own later this week as well. I'll try to get it done tomorrow. |

What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
Virgin Steele’s album called Visions of Eden: The Lilith Project – A Barbaric Romantic Movie of the Mind released in 2006. I like it because the songwriting in it is so mature. Every song in it feels like a great individual journey and the tales in the lyrics are based on profound pondering, content and temporary or even ultimate meaning. What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? My hobbies are playing guitar, composing my own music and listening to music. I’d like to include playing computer solitaire and working out but those two are more like necessary evils rather than enjoyable free time activities. I get out of my hobbies glimpses of light to otherwise so grey mundane everyday life. Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. There’s no such thing as unimportant desire when it comes down to individual. What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Winning in a lottery. What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? Losing weight and getting into shape in my mid to late teenage years. In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? Bad things… good things… let us just say that things happen, Past is past. To hold a grudge and need to forgive or not to forgive is pointless. What would you do if you had more time? Learn as many instruments as possible. Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? No I am not. And since I’m not that big on feelings either I must say that the sensations I associate with the company of others mostly is boredom or awkwardness. What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I cannot remember. Altruism is eventually long con of egoism. Everything is all about individual’s need to feel good about one’s self. Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? Yes I have although hope is hope… Hopes springs eternal. No reason to hope for something since it is more effective to do something. Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? No I won’t. People don’t change at least in the most fundamental level unless they get horrible brain damage or a disease that messes with systems and whatnot. Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? No I am not ambitious. My greatest dream is to win in a lottery and live in reasonable seclusion. What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? That the only truth is that there is no fundamental truths. Only certainty is uncertainty and only constant in the world is existence of something or nothing. Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? People get what they get no matter how deserving or undeserving they are. Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? The way I want to conduct my life from this point onwards, I wish that it will not have meaning and at the moment it has not. It probably has temporary meaning, eventually, but in the concept of presumably infinite universe my existence makes no difference. If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be?

Ok I'm probably gonna take like an hour to type this up.
- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much? I can't really say that I have a specific single favorite film or album. I have lists of films and albums that could be considered among my favorites (in no particular order) but I wouldn't be able to pinpoint a single one as my favorite. It often just phases in and out or depends on my mood, or in the case of films if I've seen it so many times I may start to wear down on it (The Dark Knight used to be my choice for favorite film but not so much now). - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? Playing video games feels like the huge one but I don't really know how I feel calling it a hobby. Whenever people ask about hobbies in job applications or school related stuff I've always been hesitant to list video games since it feels like calling something a hobby should be something you do in your spare time but should also be in some ways productive or beneficial. I'm not doubting that video games can improve certain skills and can definitely be considered a hobby but I tend to just feel like I should sooner list more productive or educational-based stuff over it. With that in mind, I like to read about history and events from the past in my spare time, go out for long aimless walks sometimes to discover new places, play billiards/pool, work out whenever I can really remember to make time for it, browse reddit and read about things of interest (mostly baseball). And then there's music which to me is both the most rewarding and most frustrating hobby I have. I don't think I've necessarily been that quiet about the fact I've started to really hunker down and make music full stop (just quiet as to what exactly it is I'm working on and when it'll happen). I sorta dipped my feet into it a few years ago and produced some hot garbage for a first track. I bounced around between it or 3D animation as to what I wanted to do for the next couple of years until last year when I opened up FL Studio again and started to use music as a creative tool to either deal with or get my mind off of problems I was having last year and I decided to focus on music entirely. I want to think I've gotten better. - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. Travel and see new places. Also as silly as it sounds, walking around the entire country of Vatican City (which would take an average person about 40 minutes to do) is tempting. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Finding a loving partner who I feel is absolutely perfect. Winning the Powerball right now wouldn't be too bad either but I'd probably start to overthink it. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? I tend to focus on what the biggest problem is right now rather than what the biggest problem I've ever dealt with is. Things that seemed like a huge deal back then will almost always seem more insignificant as time goes on and you have something else to deal with. Anxiety related to school was a huge handicap that messed up my grades awfully and nearly made me fail to graduate on time but it's in the past. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? The passage of time. I'm ridiculously forgiving and if I have a hard time forgiving you either not enough time has passed or there's been far too much damage done for me to ever care about you again. - What would you do if you had more time? I feel like I have enough time now; I'm just really bad at managing it. But I guess working more on music, learning instruments and music theory, and learning more in the field of astronomy. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? I'm only really social with people I'm already familiar with. I'm otherwise rather shy in real life and have a difficult time starting a conversation or even really keeping one with someone I only just met. But the few really close friends I do have (three of whom are currently on this site) I make undeniably strong bonds with and trust nearly everything with them. Security, trust, the feeling that there's someone there to just vent to or talk **** with for hours. People who helped me feel better and people that I hope I did the same in kind (and hope to continue to). People that I can count on. They most likely know who they are and if any of you are reading this I'm very grateful that you're around. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I feel like this varies on several degrees and I haven't really reached a degree where I could call it entirely altruistic. I don't really see general helping people or letting them vent as something truly altruistic when it hasn't necessarily cost me anything. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? Why wouldn't I? Humanity has pushed onward and upward and makes advances every day. And while there's definitely things I could say I'm worried about regarding our future I want to think we can handle things and continue forward so long as we continue funding scientific research (particularly space). As for a more personal future, I want to think it will be a better one. The question is how. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? We're always changing and improving, and even in some regards degrading in some aspects. It's all a part of being human. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? To pursue music fully and be able to live comfortably off it, allowing creative freedom and that feeling of joy and satisfaction from finishing a work that people really enjoy or feel moved by. I don't necessarily want to be some mega superstar on the Billboard charts. Just enough to live comfortably and support a partner and perhaps children should I ever decide to have any. If not that, then a stable job that can financially provide and help me live comfortably that I don't completely hate. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? I haven't thought much of what I would consider fundamental truths to be quite honest. But if I was to think of one... Be kind to people or at least be tolerant, and only respond with malice if they act in malice to you. Every person you interact with has a network of people, problems, and events in their lives just like you have yours. They could have problems that you don't know about. You shouldn't be actively trying to make their life more difficult especially when they didn't do anything to deserve it. That, and people are born inherently good and can only learn negative values through life experience or teachings. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? I don't think much about this. I suppose I'm deserving of what I have as far as material items and general living is concerned. Though sometimes when I act a certain way I can question if I deserve certain things I want. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? I want to think my life has meaning but I don't really know if I've found it yet. - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... 1. Be the absolute best person you can be. Be the kind of person that could make someone like Mr Rogers proud. 2. Try to live a healthy lifestyle and watch the sugar and sodium intake. Too many people get sick through careless eating not watching what they put in and adjusting accordingly (sure eat the fast food but make sure you didn't eat a ton of salt beforehand either). 3. Try not to procrastinate. That's something I'm still working on myself. |

I'm actually typing my own answers now, but it'll probably take ages since I'm also playing at the moment.
Edit: Goddammit, I completely forgot about this. I'll post it later then, as I have to go to bed now. |

- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
I can't say a favorite music album, but I can say my favorite movies are the Harry Potter series. I just love the Harry Potter universe so much and the books/movies make me feel so happy and nostalgic and homey. Basically they just make me really happy. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? My main hobby is drawing, surprise surprise. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and it's so rewarding to draw something and compare it to an old drawing and see how much you've improved. And that's the thing: you're constantly improving and it's something that there will always be room for improvement in so there are endless possibilities and the freedom to draw whatever you want. I love it, even though it frustrates me endlessly sometimes. - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. ....Wizarding World of Harry Potter. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now?If I got my motivation and drive to do things back and my depression and anxiety magically disappeared. The possibilities would be endless after that. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? Just generally struggling with depression and anxiety. And on top of that, dealing with family problems- which go back as far as I can remember and are what first gave me my anxiety anyway. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? I'd forgive someone if I felt they genuinely meant their apology and proved to me through actions that they've changed their ways. I try to be forgiving but honestly I just bottle it up and let it eat at me while they continue on just fine and it's awful. I need to work on that. - What would you do if you had more time? Weeeelllll. I feel like I'm pretty darn young and there's plenty of time to get things done. It just all depends on me actually going out and doing it. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? I guess I could call myself a people person... I've never struggled to get along with others and I really enjoy the company of my friends. I also like to go out in public and do my own thing, surrounded by the company of random strangers. Other times, though, I really just prefer to have time to myself at home. Especially after work. Being around people in a work environment kind of drains me and it's those times I just hate the idea of being around anyone. So I guess it goes both ways. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I'm not sure how to answer this. Like I don't want to go around patting myself on the back for nice things I've done. I honestly have been trying to help others out more often though and letting people know I care about them, because I know how helpful that can be if you're in a tough spot. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? At this moment, I really do. I feel like I've barely started my adult life and there are so many possibilities that it overwhelms me. I've yet to get my first car, get my first apartment, and all of these big milestones and I'm so excited to get there. I've been at a stagnant point in my life for a long time but there are so many things I'm looking forward to. Some days I wake up and I just feel hopeless with my situation but I'm trying to remember all of the things I have to look forward to. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? I think I'll definitely change in the future like everyone does. I'm definitely not the same person I was 3 years ago and that's good. So hopefully I can say the same in 3 more years. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? Ambition is something I could work on. And I don't have a specific dream honestly. I just generally want to have a decent income from a job I love, surrounded by the people I love. I don't think that's asking for too much. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? Maybe I'll answer this one later when I think about it some more. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? I consider myself blessed to be born into the life I have. I have a home and a family and lots of opportunities. I don't think I deserve all of that since I was just lucky enough to be given that, while others have to struggle to get what I take for granted. I feel more deserving of the things I work for and afford on my own though. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? That's something I think about a lot. Of course I'd like to think my life has meaning. Maybe it doesn't right now, but in the future hopefully I can give it a meaning that's more than just me living a happy life. I don't know. - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? -Don't live your life by rigid rules and limit yourself. Be open-minded and go out of your comfort zone occasionally. The worst thing you could do is avoid legitimately living your life by avoiding new experiences. -The obvious one: Be yah-self. Don't try to change who you are for anyone else. Enjoy the things that you enjoy without being ashamed. Embrace what makes you happy. Your life is your own, no one else's. -Take it from me: Don't procrastinate. Don't do it. Don't ever start it because then you won't stop and you'll end up under a lot of stress for no reason. Set goals and meet them. |

Well since I've gotten my two hour test out of the way, I have time to answer them.
- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much? My favorite movie is RoboCop (1987 version). My like for it probably stems from my interest in science/science fiction, robots and machinery which I've always loved. I also like it because it's a good balance of clever satire, action and character development, has an excellent soundtrack that leaves me smiling at the end every time I watch it. My favorite album would have to be one by Ayreon. Which one? Well I don't really know. I can listen to all of Arjen Lucassen's/Ayreon's albums from the beginning to the end without skipping a song. I can probably narrow it down to Ayreon's "The Dream Sequencer/Flight of the Migrator" and "01011001." I like them because I adore being told stories and these albums tell them beautifully and powerfully. I love Arjen's ability to mix so many unwitting song styles and instruments making them sound like they always belonged in the metal genre. 01011001 also has some nostalgic attachments for me. I don't know if you can call 2008 nostalgic though... I also love Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Lost in the New Real. There's just too many great albums. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? I like to read sci-fi and general fiction novels, reference books and basically anything I can learn some interesting facts and information. I often get lost in the internet or a book just randomly reading anything interesting from the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster to aviation to the mythology of the Ancient Egyptians. I love playing video games. PC, PS3/4 whatever, as long as I enjoy it. I tend to lean towards video games with good story lines rather than graphics, but if it has great gameplay and/or graphics and it succeeds in entertaining me, there's nothing wrong with that at all. I don't do it as often anymore, but I like target shooting with my handgun. I don't shoot at anything living, don't worry. If I may say so, I think I'm pretty good at it which is the main reason I enjoy it. Although as accuracy goes down whist the caliber increases, it's still very fun to me. I also have an interest in cars which I'm sure many of you have noticed. Again this is most likely due to my interests in science... and Knight Rider.  - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. Well... If it's something I've always wanted to do, then I suppose it's important to me. That being said I currently can't think of something I've always wanted to do... - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? My depression and anxiety to be "cured", to have a high level of focus and concentration, and I guess passing my exams. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? Coping through high school and university with depression. There’s a few more, but I don’t feel comfortable sharing them here. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? I suppose it depends on their intent. Did they know how much they wanted to hurt me? Or did someone else convince them to do it. I am however not one to easily forgive and I doubt I would forgive someone who wronged me greatly. - What would you do if you had more time? Study. It’s almost sad how my life seems to revolve around it. But I procrastinate a lot so more time is always helpful, or a hindrance depending if I use it or not. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? I’m not a people person. I feel physically and mentally tired after talking to several people, but that doesn't mean I can't get along with others. I just find it taxing. Although this could be due to my current mental health as I was known to have a great sense of humor around others. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I honestly can't remember. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? I can't really give an accurate answer. When you have a mental illness it warps your perspective on life. Now I can't tell if I see the past through rose-tinted lenses and the future through a dark haze. Perhaps nothing around me has changed at all. I suppose that answers the second part of the question. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? Everyone changes. Just some changes are more obvious than others. So yes, I'll change. Again I have no idea if it will be better or worse. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? I am ambitious, but I don't really have a "dream." I guess being able to live in comfort and to like the life I have is what I'm hoping to achieve, and If I could make and in a sci-fi like utopia that'd be pretty cool too. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? Life is never easy or fair. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? Yes and no. I honestly think I don't deserve many of the circumstances in my life so far, but I'm also riddled with guilt thinking I'm not worthy of having anything "good" coming my way. I'm not trying to be a martyr, I know there's many sacrifices I have to make and I'm used to it. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? That depends on what your definition of "meaning" is. Your own existence can serve as a lesson to others, so even though you may not think you have any importance in this world. I currently don't think there's a meaning to my life. I've studied enough biology to know that all we're here to do is pass on our genes and survive. Since I'm already surviving, I can do whatever I want with this meaningless life and possibly give it a "meaning." - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? Live each day as it passes. You will run into bad days and at times they can last for what it seems to be forever, just keep going, there are still things on this earth that are worth living for even though they're extremely hard to find. Do your best and try your hardest wherever you go and whatever you do. Even if your best isn't good enough or you don't think your're good enough, don't place your self worth on it. Try and plan for the future, but be as flexible as possible. It'll allow you to adapt easier and you won't become disheartened when plans change. |

- What is your favorite movie/music album? Why do you like it so much?
This is always one of the toughest questions for me. I don't have a set favorite anything, it all depends on my mood, especially music, and I don't really watch movies a lot. I often find myself drawn to heavier stuff, usually Metalcore, Melodic Death Metal and Progressive Metal, and lately I have been listening to Erra a lot. "Augment" is my favorite album of theirs, and as for why I like it.. Well, this is going to sound very vague, but it just has a very positive "vibe" to it. It's simultaneously very heavy, encouraging and just plain good music IMO. I do listen to other bands as well, but I won't list them all here. - What are your hobbies? What do you get out of them? My hobbies include: - Video games - Working out - Miniature war games and tabletop RPG's. - Drawing - Prop armor making (not actively, but rather as personal projects when I have the time). Each one of these hobbies serves an interest, most of which revolve around me being a huge nerd. I love Fantasy and Sci-fi, and I'm often torn between the two as I like to devote my time to one only genre at the time. Working out stands out as a different kind of hobby, which I do for both health and looks. I really enjoy it, and it has loads of benefits other than just looking better naked. I feel that challenging yourself physically also benefits you mentally in many ways. - Name one unimportant thing that you've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to finish one of my costume/armor projects and try cosplay. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I have a thing for all kinds of Sci-fi armor, so I'm certain it would look cool. - What would you consider to be the greatest possible thing that could happen to you right now? Honestly the only problem I have right now is that I don't have any income. I'm not poor, so if all goes as planned I'm set, but it would be great if that was more certain. Something like winning a lottery wouldn't hurt, but I don't gamble. You're extremely unlikely to win anything, and wasting your money on lottery tickets is a sure way to keep yourself devoid of pocket money. - What has been the most challenging thing in your life so far? High school probably, but it wasn't all that hard in retrospect. My story is very similar to that of many others on this site (or so I would imagine). I got bullied as a teen, but it didn't really hold me down all that much. The worst part was the way it affected my motivation to study at a time when a lot of things in life seemed very uncertain. I would've gotten off a lot easier if that hadn't happened, but I'm not really angry or sad about it. I don't even remember the faces of those who did it, and I don't concern myself with what their motives might have been. I think it's a healthy way to think. - In what circumstances would you forgive someone who wronged you greatly? I'm not the kinda guy who does things according to my feelings much. I find it easy to forgive people if there is a reason to believe that it would lead to a better outcome. Their sincerity doesn't necessarily matter, but if I can help myself move on from a deep grudge etc. by forgiving, I'll do it. I like to be able to focus, and social problems do tend to give me enough stress to make that harder. As for getting justice, I'd try to set things right, but if that's not possible I'd just forget it. In the end it's just another struggle to overcome. - What would you do if you had more time? I have plenty of time, I just waste a lot of it doing things that I want to do rather than things that I should be doing (in a lot of cases they are the same, thankfully). As long as everything gets done I'm good, but being more efficient would do me wonders. - Do you consider yourself a people person? What feelings do you usually associate with being in the company of others? In a way. I like people, and one of the greatest centerpieces of my life throughout the years have probably been my circle of friends. I believe that they are also a big source of stability in my life. This is, or course, referring to friends both offline and online. DarkSpyro has helped me socialize, as weird as that sounds. I am an introvert though, which means that I get tired when I spend time around others. It's hard to balance that at times, but I find social contact to be very rewarding nonetheless. - What was the last time you acted in an entirely altruistic manner? What did you do? I have to say, I don't know. I do help people (here, for example) simply out of my will to help, but I also think that it contributes to my own image as well. In a way I am selfish, but not in a way that I wouldn't want others to do good as well. I want everyone to be happy, but I do things for myself also. - Do you have hope for a better future? Why/why not? Yes, of course. I am a very optimistic person, and I believe things will get better. I won't go into details here, but I trust in the ability of human beings to overcome their problems. - Do you think you will change as a person in the future? Will it be for better or worse? I do think that I will change. I can see myself becoming calmer and less assumptive, though as life experience and education sinks in I will probably get even more steadfast when it comes to my goals and views. I think I'll also be happier. Overall I'd say the change will be good. - Are you ambitious? What is your greatest dream? I am extremely ambitious. Whatever I set my mind on, be it video games, workout goals or education, I'm very forward-oriented. My greatest dream is to succeed in my career and help humanity through scientific research and the study of space. I would also like to prolong my own life through the use of technology, quite simply because I want to be able to experience the future and get the most out of my time here. Death doesn't really scare me, but I can honestly say that I don't want to die. I really don't see the point in simply ceasing to function. I could imagine myself living over 150, or even 200-250. More than that would be very highly unlikely, but I will do all I can to make that happen. - What is the most fundamental truth that you believe in? I believe in a mechanical universe, and the laws of nature. I believe that the "supernatural" as we understand it doesn't exist. - Do you consider yourself deserving of everything you have? Why/why not? Yes and no. I don't think life is about what you deserve, but at the same time I like to think that I will "earn" the right to a good life by getting the most out of it. Squabbling your chances by not doing your best would be a waste, and that's something I can get behind. - Do you like to think that your life has a meaning? Do you think it has? I don't think life has a meaning in any objective sense, but in our perspective we give it meaning by choice. I've chosen mine, and that is to do my best to allow humanity to progress and survive. - If you gave someone three pieces of advice for living good life, what would they be? 1. Be persistent. Persistence is more important to success than any other quality of character. We aren't given a destiny, but are left to make our own. If you lack the self-discipline and drive to do that, you will end up getting nowhere. 2. Pay attention to your own thoughts. A wise man once said that life is 10% what happens to us, and 90% what we make of that. By working on your attitude it is possible to see the best in whatever you come across, and that enables you to be happy even through hardship. 3. Address your problems. If something is wrong, get to the bottom of it. It's important that you do not stagnate when faced with adversity. It doesn't require Olympian willpower to change, all it takes is understanding, time and effort. Having done something will set you at ease, and give you a boost of confidence. |
