I've been told I'm both an old soul and also that I really don't act my age. I tell people it and they're always shocked.

3. What Christmas (or Hanukkah) present do you remember the most?
Technically my drawing tablet was a Christmas present. Sure I picked it out and everything, but I've gotten a lot of miles out of it. I do really remember the hotwheels firestation I got once, though. And the pajamas, but those were every year, so do they count?

Grandma and Grandpa's farm-especially if kittens were present.

In early grade school, yes. I don't believe so on bullying others.

There are a few types of food that have near infinite variability-sandwiches and soups/stews come to mind.
25. If your partner wanted to wait until marriage before having sex, would you stay in that relationship?

Nope.
37. What is one thing you could never forgive?
I am unsure. I'd like to say there aren't things I couldn't, but there is a difference between forgiving someone for something and not being cautious around them. Forgive is one thing, but forget is another, much harder one. Example: someone steals money. I can forgive them for it, but I'm not going to as readily trust them with money until I see signs they actually won't necessarily do it again.

80. Do people change? If so, how do you keep a relationship together when both of you start to change?
People can change, but a big part of being in a relationship is putting in effort to communicate and understand. It should also have a center-it's not just about what makes you happy. Too many relationships these days are 100% selfishness.
