1. Giving as much, or as little detail as you feel comfortable doing, are/were your parents basically good or bad people?
No. My father's a physically and verbally abusive alcoholic who's slowly going blind and has ticks and twitches from a brain issue he was born with. My mother's a schizophrenic drug addict in denial with several physical disabilities on her own including dislocated spinal columns from an accident. Ironically, both of my parents are basically handicapped. My father with his vision, and my mother with her spine. My family life is extremely ****ed up, I'm actually only just now becoming more comfortable with talking about it within the last year or two and I'm 29. I'd rather not go into too much detail on here about it though. It's something that I'm only comfortable really elaborating with on with people whom I know. I think it's rather obvious why they've been living below the poverty line basically their entire lives though. Anyway, my mom is actually currently in the hospital and so I'd really rather not talk about it right now because she's probably having to get a third toe amputated in related to her habits and general lack of self care and personal responsibility.
2. What's your favourite cake? (I know, I know, but it's hard to keep coming up with fresh questions. Besides, we all love cake, right?)
Marble cake with chocolate and vanilla icing.
3. If you saw someone, a stranger, male or female, being assaulted on the street, would you intervene? (Intervene includes calling the cops, shouting at the assailants, etc. You don't actually have to wade in.)
Yes, absolutely. Depending on the severity of the situation, either I'd handle it myself or try to flag down local help or call the police.
4. At what age, and level, did you finish your education (assuming you have)?
19, I think. I did about a year and a half of college before I dropped out. Home concerns compromised my grades, and I'm traditionally a terrible student in the classroom. I'm a kinesthetic learner, I learn by doing. I also have a learning disability that is not recognized in college in the state that I live in, so I withdrew and just took to the workforce and teaching myself things. The older I got, the more important education became to me. Now, my highest two values in life are Knowledge and Freedom. I'm a student of life by hobby and thus, read and think a lot in my free time by personal choice to do so.
5. Generally, do you eat things that are bad for you, and if so, does it bother you that you do?
I eat according to my budget vs. the amount of time I have vs. how much physical labor I will be doing. In that order. I try to avoid sugar though, because I have ****ed up teeth from not taking care of them as a kid. I did a low carb diet for a few years and basically my teeth became really sensitive to sugar and nicotine. I rarely smoke anymore either, unless it's weed, or if I'm particularly stressed. That diet was awesome, I learned a lot from it and it was generally healthy, but in the long-term it sort of screwed with my biological food processing. I wasn't as sensitive to sugar or tobacco before.
6. Overall, again in a general sense, are you environmentally aware, ie do you do anything to help save the planet, or do you not give a toss?
I generally don't care, because I think it's a pointless endeavor if we're going to continue to keep multiplying when there are already 7,500,000,000+ people on the planet. So whenever we're done doing whatever the ****ing Hell we think that we're accomplishing by multiplying ten times faster than rabbits, yes, I will actively partake more in environmental studies.
