With all that science, the idea of a God became less and less plausible to me, then about 30 years later it occured to me: I don't need a God, I can't imagine a God, so that's when I changed my designation. (Prompted partly by living in Mexico, where 83% of the people are Catholics and churches are full every Sunday. People are so convinced that their religion is the norm that I have had students ask me without preamble in front of the class, "Are you a Catholic?". That was the question that made me think that I should have a firm answer. Funniest moment was when I told one student I was an athiest and she said in a surprised voice, "But you're a nice person!!")
Thanks Lisna, I was just curious. I find people's beliefs and what changes them quite interesting. Bless you, ya godless heathen.

6. What are three things you would do if you won the lottery?
I would:

b) take time off work to search for land and get two new build houses.
c) invest as much as possible but still allowing money to give to extended family.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How do you/did you get on with your parents? (If this is too personal, you can answer the alternate question).|
During my early childhood my mom battled mental health issues with support and she used to flip out easily like a stain on my uniform, for example. My dad was busy working and then when I got to high school we moved the next year to an apartment and we had to give up our two brothers (cats) to my nana who kept them in cases which caused me a lot of distress. My mom and I would fight all the time and dad would get it after working all day to support us and was studying at night too so he could get a degree and therefore better employment opportunities. So I didn't see much of him and then I acted out after my granddad died in front of me and he left us with two very depressed grieving women (plus me who did so privately) one of whom was his wife and wanted to die and join him and couldn't be left alone in the house at night. I started getting into trouble with kids from other schools, smoking weed, had sex at 15 (only one time till adulthood, however) and went to boyfriend after boyfriend. It took until I was going on 17 in my second to last year of school my parents threatened to kick me out/gave me the choice to leave and get a job so I then decided I wasn't going to throw my life away like many classmates had done and studied hard for my exams. The problem was I had underlining ADD which I am getting diagnosed for. As I got to university I had a lot of issues with my folks trying to tell me how and why certain decisions they think I should make which made things tense for both of us. In my mid to late twenties my parents decided they were treating me like a child, not an adult so left me to make my own decisions which fixed our relationship (on top of some serious therapy that helped me health from scars of the past). As of the last 3-4 years we have had a very connected and beautiful relationship where boundaries were possible and we had released the religious dogma of Catholicism/Christianity and we trained ourselves on spirituality. We now want to build two houses on a piece of land and enjoy making memories together and hopefully I'll have a female partner.

tl;dr Mom, dad and I took till nearly my 30's to have a solid and loving relationship where we make our own decisions and now we love each the fullest.

1a. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?
Turn the TV off, undo my plats in my hair and play reddit alien's video's to fall asleep too.

2. Who do you think there should be a statue of in your city?
Dr Bloomfield: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...mDKhX9hkUJ6-cP

3. What’s your favourite soup?
Pumpkin

4. When were you last in an actual library
Saturday as I work in the library lol.

5. What’s your typing speed? (If you don't know, take a minute to test yourself)
80ish words per minute

6. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Fred?

Daphne
