Ready for the questions?

Question #1: Do you prefer being around men or women? Do your closest friends tend to be men or women?

Question #2: Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage in it head on? Why?

Question #3: What’s your dream job?

Question #4: What was your first job? How much did you get paid?

Question #5: If could switch job responsibilities with your boss (or your last boss, if unemployed), would you do it? Why or why not?

Questions #6: Which is the greater tragedy: an innocent person imprisoned or a guilty person set free? Explain.

Question #7: How difficult is it for you to forgive someone who refuses to apologize?

LAST Question: What makes you stand to your feet and cheer?

My answer: I’d have to say people who overcome obstacles, or injustices, and persevere against all odds. I’m the sort of person who cheers for the underdog because not only do I feel sorry for them, but I admire the strength and determination required to come back from behind and win, or conquer, the situation. It’s not easy, and I think that alone requires a standing ovation.

Ready for the questions?

Question #1: What’s one of your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?

Question #2: Are you serious-minded, or a jokester? Why?

Question #3: What is your all-time favorite movie, and how many times have you seen it?

Question #4: Who was your best friend in high school and where is he or she right now?

Question #5: If you could change anything about your relationship with your parents, what would it be?

Question #6: What’s the secret to a long life?

Question #7: What phobias have you struggled with?

LAST QUESTION #8: How would you describe a time when you felt alone in a crowd?

My answer: I feel alone in crowds all the time. My husband is a musician. So when he plays gigs and I go to watch him, I’m alone in a crowded bar. Or when we go to football games to watch my youngest son play in the band, I’m alone in the crowd, save for my husband and son. But I watch others laugh and have a good time with fellow parents/friends, and I’m envious. I’m used to being alone and though it’s not always fun, it’s what I choose.
