I wish I didn't have to resort to Self Hell books to help me out in this area of my life.

My dream vacation is a very long trip to a bunch of different places...like a trip to Europe that takes a month and spends large chunks of time in Latvia and Italy, or to Scandanavia, or to the Carribbean...anywhere, really, where I can relax, bask in another culture, and spend a lot of time.

I have the most fun holy fuck, you have NO idea how long this just took me to find an answer to this, and how ashamed I am at the answer: when I'm shopping with Sonya.

I take great pleasure in being a good friend and taking care of my body...except when that involves giving up chocolate.

My favorite sport is swimming.

What disgusts me is Arnold's plan to get us out of our fiscal crisis. More personally? Passionless people.

I think retirement is gonna rock, if I ever get there.

Many of my dreams are about performing in front of people I want to impress in real life and failing miserably.

When I am afraid, I get angry or tired.

When I see couples kissing in public, I either look away in disgust because they're also mauling each other while standing in line for a movie, or I do an inward, "awww" if it's a cute peck and looks like it was just for nothing except the person kissing the other just was overcome by the urge at that moment.

Regarding a man's orgasm, a woman honestly? I don't have the slightest fucking clue what they're looking for here. A woman should be happy he had one? I don't know....

When I fall in love, I do so passionately, but present as though I'm being timid in case the other person still isn't sure.

When i have spare time, I like to sleep or read, these days.

I can't stand it when a man thinks spare time must all be spent together. We're individuals! Go hang with the guys or something!

I think touching is the singlemost coolest thing out there to do with someone you love.

Religion for me is very personal and I'm not interested in justifying my beliefs for anyone.

Child rearing, in my mind, is one of the biggest and most expensive responsibilities any parent can have.

I think G-d is in the green in the trees.

What I want when I get sick is for someone to check in on me once in a while and make sure I have enough blankets and tea, and then to go away and leave me alone with my dreams or the tv.

I can't stand it when a woman attempts to manipulate a man into marrying her.

Discipline...what the hell were they looking for here? Um, is necessary to maintain boundaries?

The thing that bothers me most about my body is this pouch of fat right above and below my belly-button. Drives me nuts.

When I die, I hope I get to see Jenny.

What hurts me most is finding out I've been lied to by someone I love.

My parents rock.

I've never told anyone that I like it when there's very little in the house to eat, and so I'll go through and make really weird concoctions of food that taste awesome and are horrible for you, and eat until I feel sick.

In a long marriage, sex should happen?

I like sex when the person I'm with is as into it as I am.

Politics is (actually, it should be "politics are", but whatever) essential.

Orgasms are really cool.

The worst thing in life is losing loved ones unexpectedly.

The best thing in life is loving and feeling loved.

The way I feel about separate vacations is you gotta have 'em if you're gonna stay together forever.

The first thing I notice about someone is their voice.

I think marriage is a really beautiful institution, provided everyone's allowed to partake if they so desire.

My most shameful secret is I never bought another bottle of wine for the Kokkinakkis family. (Long story.)

In an argument, I like to make sure all the information is out on the table before coming to conclusions.

To me intimacy means being able to tell the silly secrets and the serious secrets to someone who treats them all with equal importance.

Divorce is tragic, but often necessary and relief-providing.

When i disagree with someone, I usually just smile and nod, unless it's someone I'm comfortable arguing with.

The thing that I fear most about marriage is the other person falling out of love with me and leaving me just after I've gotten comfortable. Like moving into a new place and finally unpacking all your things and putting everything on the walls, and then having someone tell you you have to move.

In-laws should be as cool as my parents.

The thing I hate most is stupid people.

What I like most about myself is I tend to get along with damned near anyone, despite how I actually feel about them. Which means, essentially, that my friends can take me anywhere and I'll make do.

The opposite sex is oftentimes a mystery.

When someone is angry, I tend to either get defensive myself, or to laugh and think it's funny that they're angry.

Women are usually pretty neato. Often, however, they're psycho.

Men are see above answer for chicks.

The best thing about the opposite sex is the good ones have a great ability to see the non-drama in a possible-drama situation, and to even out the moods in the room before things get out of hand. They provide the laid-back-guy perspective on life, I guess.

When I am angry, I am ugly.

Talking about sex feels very unnerving, but sometimes it's like an interesting challenge.

The worst thing about the opposite sex is that for all their laid-back-ness, sometimes the situation actually does require some drama, and they fail to see it. That can be catastrophic. OR, that thing where they don't call to say they're coming home late, and then when they DO come home, they're like, "why are you upset?" and you're pissed as hell because you've been worried about them all night and when you say so, they say, "but I'm fine", and you shout, "but you might not have been!" and they say, "But I am"...and it goes on forever and ever until a door gets slammed. Jesus, man, just say, "oh, good call, I'm sorry about that." and get it over with!

What I hate most in anyone is do I have to keep saying this? Stupidity.

What I admire most in other people is often their ease with others in a strange situation, or their individual talents.

When I am my best self, I am confident, tall, smiling, and on task. The life of the party.

When I am at my worst self, I am tired, judgemental, and fickle.

People should think before they speak.

When I grow old I hope I don't have to be in a wheelchair.

My worse experience in life was New Year's Eve night, 1999.

Love is wonderful, yet elusive.

To me, dating is a nightmare of having to spend time and energy weeding through a bunch of people I never want to see again.

"'Til death do us part" means exactly what it says...that you'll commit your life to this person until death parts you both.

Falling in love is wonderful, yet ellusive.

Alrighty. I feel like I've just spent three hours picking my brain apart, and answering the same damned question over and over again. Now I'm going to take a nap.
