1. If someone was to give you one gift, no matter how expensive, what would you want to receive?
Hm. Had to think about this. I suppose it would be 'a job in Chicago'. Or, if that doesn't count, 'a house in Chicago', which I could move into and begin job searching there.
2. Besides telling someone ‘I love you’, how would you show them / let them know that you love them?
I'm a hugger! But I also do other little things - I really like to cook for people I care about. Or send cards.
3. Do you have a favourite photograph and if so, who/what is in the photograph and why is it your favourite?
Not especially. I like any photograph of my family, as I love my family, and I also like the photos I've been in over the years with my friends, as I love my friends and the pictures bring back happy memories. :)
3. Name 5 things that you look for in a partner?
Similar opinions (must be a feminist), similar tastes (in movies, books, etc.), good sense of humor, independence and self-supporting (I want someone who has their own job and their own place - I'm not going to support you).
4. Which do you prefer: books or movies?
Both! I honestly love both for different reasons, so I can't really pick!
5. What makes you, you? What separates you from other people?
Ooh. I honestly have no idea how to answer this, because I consider myself a pretty average person. I suppose I'm independent? I'm a female engineer and I'm not afraid to be a strong, independent, single woman in this day and age. That's all I got though.
6. If you had to give a young child one piece of life advice, what would it be?
Don't compare yourself to others. Please, please don't. You are amazing and special and you will live your life at your own pace - not at anyone else's.
7. How did the universe begin?
The big bang. But quite frankly, it's not a topic I care enough about to debate. I like the present.
8. You can take one person with you to a desert island. Who do you take?
Hm. Probably my mother? Because she's one of my best friends, and we're never short of things to chat about. Also she's a nurse and she's brilliant.
9. If you could speak any language, what would it be and why?
I wish I could speak Spanish fluently - I took it in school and have forgotten most of it. I remember it being a really beautiful yet fun language. Or Polish. Because I am fascinated by the way the words look and I would love to go to Poland. Or Russian, for the same reason.
10. If you could travel to space and visit one planet, which planet would you go to?
Probably Neptune. Just seems like a pretty planet. I've always liked the name, because it makes me think of the color blue.
11. Would you want to know the exact day and time of your death?
Yep. Then I'd be sure to get stuff in before I die. Also, it would help me realize what I'd probably die of. If it's soon, I'll probably die in some horrible accident. But the further away it is, the more likely I'll die of cancer or natural causes.
I'm not going to tag anyone, as it's late and I'm going to bed, but if anyone else wants to join in, feel free! Answer these questions, they're really lovely! Thanks again for the tag, dear! :)
