I am a people person
I watch them, I speak to them, I get to know them;
I run. leave. abandon.
I am honestly interested in you. whoever you are, whoever you wish you were. so I'm putting this survey/questionnaire out there along with many others' surveys in hopes that you care enough to answer my questions.
some of you I may be inspired by. I may write poems with you as a character. that's because I like oddity. don't take offense.
i would prefer that you not answer these as labeled questions (1,2,3, etc), but as a prose piece. or even just spaced out without numbers.
what is your favorite verb?
where did your name come from?
what is the difference(s) between who you are and who you wish you were?
what are your insecurities?
why can't you sleep?
is your regret fading?
how conditional are you morals?
what do you say to yourself that makes it alright?
are you in love?
are you in love with more than one person?
how often do you want to be someone else?
can you wink?
do you flirt with guys/girls you would never date?
are you currently leading someone on?
do you lie about trivial things just for the hell of it?
do you believe in karma?
do humans have souls?
are there people in your family you secretly don't love?
are you jealous?
do you avoid looking in mirrors?
what is a name you consider beautiful?
do you read to escape your own life?
do you ever forget who you are?
these questions are vague. some are personal. answer whichever ones you want.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 8
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 100, Bronze: 94
- Final notes: I know a couple of you did not finish. I apologize, the site told me I had to judge this soon.
How do you judge a contest of personalities?
Well, here is what I learned;
Over half of you guys have insecurities when it comes to your body image. Especially weight.
Most of you think Evangeline and judas are beautiful names.
Most of you don’t forget who you are because you’ve never known who you were.
most of your regrets aren't fading.
most of you have a family member you don't love.
it was pretty equal when it came to love, souls, and karma.
Here are a few quotes I found inspiring:
“is your regret fading?
Nope...It never will.. I was the reason it happened.”
how conditional are you morals?
What morals?
-From “Nie”
~
“today i wished i was the wind. it would suck: constantly moving, only catching glimpses of lives, seeing your own destruction, putting out cigarettes, encouraging fires,only inhaling bits and pieces of left over smoke. but i would see everything, i would touch everything, be a part of everyone’s world. always be there, constantly moving, ever changing,never ever stuck or broken, just the wind.”
-From “listen.”
~
what is your favorite verb?
"disappear. Why? Because sometimes it is better than being seen.”
-From “The Answers to men (survey)”
~
"It means dweller of the gray fortress
I do tend to dwell a lot.
I use to hate it.
it grew on me.”
-From “tying cherry stems in my mouth”
~
“i could whisper about
the waves of flab on my hips
the way my cheeks take over
my entire face,
my scraggily hair that
i refuse to cut until
thanksgiving
but just don't
ask me about those
things.”
-From “broken tongue, tailored text”
~
“sometimes i want to go back to being five years old and sometimes i want to speed ahead to being someone's mommy and making pb&j sandwiches at six am.”
-From “answers”
~
“i don't have anything that can convince me anymore.
i have heard it all,
and it's all wrong.”
“i lie to strangers.
yesterday i was asked where i was going,
so i said i was going to catch a plane to germany.”
-From “I can’t give you answers”
Thanks to all of you for sharing your life.

This just may be the first survey contest I enter. I have the sudden urge to spill contents of myself onto the screen.
Bookmarked for now since I have school in the morning. -
