RULE 2: ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU ASKED, AND WRITE 10 NEW ONES
RULE 3: TAG 10 PEOPLE AND LINK THEM TO THE POST
RULE 4: ACTUALLY TELL THEM YOU TAGGED THEM
1. Do you let yourself be easily influenced by the media? In what way? (i.e political views, fashion, religious belief, social justice, opinions on specific people, etc’)
In some ways, I think it's impossible not to be influenced. Especially when the news subject is say...a mother who supposedly murdered her child. You automatically agree with whatever the media tells you because obviously she did it. Other court cases are usually like this...I've learned to be...wary of the news stations when it comes to other things. International news being the biggest of those....
2. What is the first blog you check out when you log onto tumblr?
I'm lazy. Whatever is at the top of my dash at the moment I log in. ^^'
3. Why do we exist?
By that do you mean we as in me and you or the whole human race? Um...I honestly have no idea on how or why the human race is here. It's not something I've ever questioned...As for why me and you exist in this time and place in the world. Well, there's a reason. There's got to be. Maybe we're meant to do something. Maybe it's just a small thing like sharing as much information/love/kindness as possible. Maybe it's something big. As one of my professors repeatedly tells us, "You were born at this time for a reason. There's a reason why God put you here instead of the 1800's." ....I just wonder myself what it is exactly that I'm suppose to do?
4. Are you the type that does their schoolwork/work no matter what mood or situation they’re in, or the kind that doesn’t do anything when they feel sad or angry, fuck the consequences?
It depends...Have I procrasted until the last day (Most likely the case, let's be honest) then yes, I have to and just hope that it turns out decently. If I don't have a close deadline...Then I'll put things off until I feel more like it. ^-^
5. Is there a webcomic or a fanfic you’re following at the moment?
Axis Powers Hetaila (webcomic)
No fanfics right now.
6. Do you remember your dreams? If so, what dream of yours is the most memorable?
It's very rare that I remember my dreams anymore unless it was especially upsetting (like the times I dream that I have to get abandon of my dogs).
My most memorable dream ever? Uh....Maybe the reaccording dream I had a kid where I got stucked down the drain of the bathroom sink? I woke up to that one every night until I was seven years old....Odd, really.
7. Would you act out your favorite fantasy with your current partner/future partner?
Maybe! It just depends on who my future partner is!
8. Were you ever harassed, publicly insulted or bullied?
Yes. All 3 years of middle school. Publicly insulted? Yeah, a few times at work. It doesn't bother me as much as it did when I was 12, thankfully.
9. Are you in love? Were you ever in love?
Love as in 'let me have your children' love? Not anymore... I suppose that I have been in love, however. I mean...I held onto a crush for 4 years....=P
10. What is that thing you always wanted to do but wouldn’t dare do it even if you have enough money, time, are in a relationship with that person, have superpowers, etc’?
The first thing that comes to mind is, and please don't judge me for this, but probably kill someone. I mean, yeah. Sophomore year of highschool, when I had to study different forms of torture, I did say that I wanted to see how some of these kill people (Rat torture being the #1) and I have often wished people dead....But I would never kill anyone. I don't think I have it in me to just murder someone...

Rule 3: Tag 11 new people

1. What scares you the most- poverty, death or a loveless marriage?
Hmm... This is actually hard to choose, but I think poverty is the scariest. I mean, as much as I DON'T want to die...once you're gone, it's over. You don't really have to deal with the after affects...With marriage, you could always divorce (even if I'm kinda against it being the "easy out") But with poverty...You can't escape it. You have to deal with it and it's scary to look at exetreme poverty and I can't begin to imagine how scary it must be to actually be in that situation!
2. Do you enjoy debating politics or do you balk the moment someone asks for your opinion?
To a point, I don't mind it. (It's not my favorite conversation starter, but...) The issue is that most of the time, you can't find a good debate partner. At least, where I'm from. It usually ends up with stupid name calling and personal attacks here in America. The only politics that you can really debate safely are historical ones....
3. Assuming today was your last day, who would you write your last letter to and what would it say?
I can only write one letter to one person? Well, I guess I'd write to my mom (cheesy answer I know). I would probably use this last chance to make sure that she knows how amazing I've always thought she was. Point out to her what a good job as a mom and role model she has been to me, even through her mother left her with only bad examples. And, since it'd be my last day on earth...I'd probably also come clean about some of the things I've done wrong in my life and I've managed to keep secret from her- some of them for years.
4. What was your favorite book while growing up?
This is too hard! Um...I'm going to say Chronicles of Narnia, the lion, the witch, and the warode (even though I read it in the 7th grade).
5. What or who would you see in the mirror of Erised?
-googles this- (I've never read the Harry Potter books) Uh...I have no idea. I guess maybe me in a good job that I actually like?
6. What do you love the most about your body?
My fingernails. I love how heathly they are and how they grow in just a certain way so that it always looks like I have painted them with French tips. People are always pointing them out to me, saying that they like them...Plus, I don't have to do anything to make them look good! (also, saving money on fingernail polish, since I don't need it) =D
7. Would you drink, smoke or do drugs if they didn’t cause any physical damage?
Having been offered alcohol at many point in my life, by my trusted family members...I can honestly say that I wouldn't drink. It really holds no interest over me what so ever. For me...Drugs are only good if you're in pain, so no...I probably wouldn't do that one either...Smoke? Eh...Maybe? I don't know....
8. One thing you would like to change in your community?
Probably make people friendlier/kinder to others.
9. If you could confront one of your hated teachers today, what would you tell them?
My most hated teacher was my 3rd grade teacher. She was mean and very OCD...One time she took away my spelling test and screamed at me because I wrote my name on the top of the page before she reminded the class to do that. If you answered aloud in the class, with the wrong answer, she made fun of you...and some other things that I didn't like about her.
Well, shortly after I escaped that grade, this teacher was forced to leave the school...She had a massive brain tumor. If I was to see her today (assuming that she's still alive)...I think that I'd say something along the lines of 'You deserved it' if I chose to say anything at all....
10. What appeals to you in your OTP?
Domestic fluff! I'm easily won over with seeing family relationships and cuddling. (after all, it can't be adventure all the time) ...Also, wartime stories are a close second.
11. To what degree do you think stereotypes have molded your opinions?
I hate to say this...But as a default, sterotypes are how I classify groups of people and how willing I am to interact with them on my own chosing. HOWERVER! With that being said, I am aware of this fact and I try to break myself from it...And, I can honestly say that out of all the people I've interacted with in my life...Only about ten of them actually fit perfectly into whatever sterotype we have.
On a side note, if you want a story that is related to this...In highschool there was this girl, we'll call her "Amy". She was blonde, tan, popular, rich and outgoing. She seemed the perfect sterotype of the "mean girl"/high school queen bee. Well, as we went on through school together (we had the same homeroom every year) I got to know her a little bit more...And I found out that there was much more to her. She voluteered to help the special needs classrooms (during and AFTER school) and when she was talking to those kids it was out of real interest, not that she was mocking them like most of us assumed. One morning, she stopped talking with the other "popular" girls and went over to help one of these students get his coat on. She actually caught a lot of crap over this, but it changed my opinion of her forever.
