Question 08: A moment in which you felt most satisfied with life
Probably when I was set in the routine of going to university. I'm satisfied right now too, with my first job and my career.

Question 09 - How you hope your future will be like.
I want to be happy. I don't want to get into a routine of day to day living where I actually neglect to live and enjoy life. I want to experience a broad range of things and expose myself to lots of learning opportunities and information. I want a lot of stories to tell my grandkids. :)

Question 10 - Discuss your first love and first kiss.
My first love was who I'm with now, and he was my first kiss too. I am really close to him and a part of my heart is his.

Question 13 - Somewhere you’d like to move or visit.
I've always wanted to visit Spain, especially the Northern coast.

Question 14 - Your earliest memory.
I went in the St. Louis arch with my mom. She was wearing a goldenrod yellow blouse. I don't know if it's real or made-up, but this is the earliest memory I ever remember having and talking about.

Question 15 - Your favorite websites.
Livejournal, Pinterest, Twitter, Neatorama

Question 16 - Your views on mainstream music.
You don't have to use your brain when you listen to it.

Question 17 - Your highs and lows of this past year.
High - graduating, getting a job, moving, meeting new people
Low - moving (hard work!), family conflict

Question 18 - Your beliefs.
Uhhh… Positivity is a wonderful thing, and so is kindness. Patience is a virtue (and for me, a miracle). Using empathy is one of the best methods to connect with other people. Everyone has potential to improve and change, and everyone has the potential and ability to meet others in the middle. There's always new things to learn, and everybody and everything has the potential to be interesting. It's reasonable to respect time to a degree, but don't let it run your life and stress you out. If you are in an unenjoyable relationship or acquaintanceship, just leave because there's so many other people who can fill a role that is more positive. Don't partake in voluntary things that unreasonably increase anxiety. Care less about what others think.

Question 19 - Disrespecting your parents.
I try to never disrespect my parents. Sometimes there's a matter of starkly different opinions, but even then (and more so) respect is really important. Direct discussion and compromise over the sticky matter is better than yelling and not listening.

Question 20 - How important you think education is.
Well, I have a Master's Degree and I want to get a Ph.D, and I work in an educational field so how about you guess how important I deem it. :P

Question 21 - One of your favorite shows.
Ninja Warrior

Question 22 - How have you changed in the past 2 years?
I've moved out on my own and become so much more independent. I've really come out of my shell and am taking initiative in contacting and reaching out to others to get things done, like at work. I used to have a lot of apprehension about making phone calls…. that's gone now. So is the anxiety over emails. Now I'm one of those people who calls and emails repeatedly before and during an event, and follows up afterward.
I met my boyfriend, and before him I'd never been in a relationship. And now it's been nearly a whole year with him and we're pretty committed to each other.
I have had friendships flourish and stay strong; conversely, some faded. I'm stronger because of the faded ones. Real-life friendships are happening more.
I have toned my fandomness down! I no longer die when I'm without updates for a long time.
