    If you could be one which one a whore or a crackhead?  FI and I were having a discussion if going from a whore to a crackhead was a down grade or not.

    Hahaha.  A crackhead, I guess, because at least then I'm living in some kind of alternate reality and am unaware of the crappiness that is my life.

    I'm bored too, but I can't think of anything to ask you...

    Oh! (you may have answered this stuff before, but I don't remember, so I'm asking anyway)

    Do you have any weird talents?

    Have you ever broken any bones?

    Besides HP, what is your favourite book? Why?

    What is your idea of a 'perfect date?'

    What's your favourite way to relax?

    What is the one thing you like best about yourself? (can be physical or personality, or one of each)

    Do you have any weird talents?
    I can eat an insane amount in one sitting.  I'm kinda famous for it.  You know, among my friends...

    Have you ever broken any bones?
    Pinky toe on my right foot.  It didn't heal right and now it's smooshed up against my fourth toe.  But that doesn't really count, does it?

    Besides HP, what is your favourite book? Why?
    Aaaahhhh, that's too hard.  Umm, my favorite "grown-up" book is, I guess, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.  Oh, or Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.  Both brilliant.  By "grown-up", I mean literary.  I have a lot of "favorite" books that aren't quite so serious, too.

    What is your idea of a 'perfect date?'
    April 25 because it's not too hot, not too cold...  Ok, siriusly, a perfect date for me would be spent at an amusement park, carnival, go-cart track, etc.  Anywhere I can get my heart pounding a little.

    What's your favourite way to relax?
    A good book or bad TV, with my furbabies cuddled up next to me.

    What is the one thing you like best about yourself? (can be physical or personality, or one of each)
    I'm pretty athletic.  I've been pretty good at every sport I've tried, and I learn fast.  Personality-wise, I think I have a pretty good sense of humor.

    Oh, I have a great butt, too.

    Why are you afraid of your marriage failing?
    Because I haven't been exposed to many marriages that didn't.  Almost everyone in my family who has gotten married has also gotten divorced, often multiple times.  I think I subconsciously believe that it's impossible to make a marriage last.

    Favorite place to be when you are upset?
    At home with my dog.  He always cheers me up.

    Favorite season?
    Summer!

    Favorite thing about FI?
    He's just really, really nice.  I know a lot of great people, but I don't think I know anyone else who's as genuinely kind as he is.

    Sop - Yep!  Anytime I hear a question about a perfect date, that quote comes to mind.

    When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
    Thankfully, this happens to be often.  I cry very easily when I laugh, so this is something that I experience about three or four times a week.  I think Wednesday evening was the most recent time.

    When was the last time you were so happy you cried?
    I'm not a big happy crier.  I teared up a little when I finished the MS150, but I think that was mostly due to the endorphins.

    When I move down to Florida, can we make it a yearly ritual to go to NOLA and get trashed together for Mardi Gras and hold each others' hair?

    (I think I've decided I'm moving down to FL either way in January.  I need a change of scenery...and the best way for a prof to want me is going to be to get in his face and demand he accept me.  That's my decision.)

    Umm, absolutely.  Except, if we could stop just one drink shy of any actual vomiting, that would be swell.  I don't deal with that very well.  But trashed in NO?  Abso-freaking-lutely.

    I can't wait for you to move.  It's going to be amaze-balls.

    Posted by becunning2[/QUOTE]

    It's kind of hard for me to answer this fairly, because marriage has really never been super important to me.  I mean, I obviously want to get married, but I didn't until I met FI.  Still, it's pretty easy for me to imagine a life with him where we never get married.  I think I could be ok with that.

    If marriage <em>were</em> really important to me, I would just have to decide which I prioritized more:  a married life, or a life with the person I was with.  But I wouldn't necessarily walk out just because he didn't want to get married.
