Default Holy Crap, that was a long quiz!

1. What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?
-A greater self-awareness and I'm a teeny bit better at speaking my mind.

2. What's been on your mind most lately?
-My life has changed so much in the past year; been turned upside down,
really. And that, despite all of that, just how much more change is yet to be
implemented.

3. In order of importance, how would you rank: happiness, money, love, health, fame?
-Happiness, health, love, money; fame is not something to which I aspire.

4. Right now, at this moment, what do you want most?
-Something to eat. My tummy is rumbling!

5. What word best describes the way you’ve spent the last month of your life?
-Tenterhooks.

6. What is the #1 motivator in your life right now?
-Finding meaning, purpose, and contentment through intellectual, spiritual,
and creative expression.

-I am someone who strives to walk a good path.

8. What do you want to be known for?
-I hope to be known as someone who is kind, compassionate, and fun.

9. If you had to move 3000 miles away, what one thing would you miss most?
-lol, that depends. 3000 miles in which direction?

10. In one year from today, how do you think your life will be different?
-I prefer to just enjoy being where I am now, yet filled with hope for a good
future.

11. Who makes you feel good about yourself?
-I derive my sense of self-esteem through my accomplishments.

12. What are the top three qualities you look for in a friend?
-Sense of humor, kindness, and strength of character.

13.What has fear of failure stopped you from doing?
-So much.

14. What is something you have always wanted since you were a kid?
-Love, a sense of connection to others; whether it be via family, friends, and/or
a lover. It is something I never really had growing up and I have always
deeply felt that lack.

15. What stands between you and what you want?
-Everyone else is mean to me and a jerk! lol, just kidding; deep connection
just doesn't come naturally to me. It is something I need to work on.

16. What do you do when nothing else seems to make you happy?
-Sleep, a long walk, a drive with the [convertible] top down, sitting by the
ocean, stargazing.

17. When did you first realize that life is short?
-It is never far from my mind.

18. What do you need to spend more time doing?
-More time doing and less time pontificating about what I intend to do!

19. What issues do you continually refuse to confront?
-I hate confrontation, lol. I am willing to QUIETLY reflect on most
any issue. I may or may not actually do something about it, but I don't
always feel like sharing it. Like right now, for instance, lol. I think I'm
giving you all plenty of ammun...I mean, "getting to know all of you fine
people."

20. What’s something a lot of people do that you disagree with?
-Mean-spirited gossip! I hate it.

21.What’s a common misconception people have about you?

It isn't true.

22.What’s something no one can take away from you?
-Anything that goes on between my ears.

23. What is something that you would hate to go without for a day?
-My iPad. It is my crack pipe.

-I miss simpler times.

25. What memory from this past year makes you smile the most?
-I'm just going to keep that one to myself.

have me pegged, I will surprise you.

our precious time.

37. If you could go back in time and tell a younger version of yourself one thing, what would you tell?
-I would kick my own ass because I needed it! And then I would sit
down with myself and have a serious talk about self-respect and value.
