To Ask Yourself 6 Questions

1. What makes you get out of your room? Back home, just about anything can get me out of my room. My room is simply a repository for my stuff, of which there is quite a lot. I live my life outside of my room. much is similar in the dark confines of my Stony Brook dorm, but I choose to stay in my dorm because there's a sense of duty here that reminds me of all the work there is to be done. The gym though, is someplace that lures me out of my "batcave" daily. It's ritual.

3. Does your room define your lifestyle? No, I don't believe that my room really defines my lifestyle, because my lifestyle can be completely mellow and regular at times, yet sporadic and unpredictable at others that I wouldn't be able to portray this split personality of my lifestyle in my room if I tried. However, my dorm room is definitely a mellow place, simple and clean, something that reflects my lifestyle and style in general at the moment, a quiet place to get work done with a few mementos and symbols of the things that matter to me. My workplace/room is functional. I don't place aesthetics over function.

5. What would make you get rid of a friend? A really close friend is one I wouldn't let go of easily. In fact, I don't believe I've ever really let go of a close friend. On the other hand, people who are easily swayed on their opinion of you, or change their view of you, etc. are the ones who I realize to not be the friends not worth the effort to keep in contact with.

6. What would make you get rid of a lover? A cheater is a lover who isn't worth my time. There are other situations that may arise, which may certainly vex me, but There is no certain way to guarantee that I'd get rid of a lover aside from cheating. That is the one absolute I hold in that regard.

22. Do you think like the enemy? I don't know if I think like the enemy, but I have a terrible (or wonderful) habit of attempting to construct possible responses to my future actions whenever I'm choosing my words, whether this be in conversation or elsewhere in my life. In practice, it doesn't take long, and I feel that this action/reaction makes for a good filter to make sure what I say isn't too far off-base or may sound irrational to someone else's ears, avoiding confrontation.

30. Do you worry about authority when it 'shows up'? There are instances of authority that terrify me greatly, as would anyone else: the police. However, authority figures in my life aren't quite as cut-and-dry, because I value my freedom greatly, but at times am more than happy to let others make my decisions for me (when I'm lazy or confused obviously). Authority needs to be monitored carefully, and I need to make sure that there is no one authority figure who gains too much influence over me, or I will sacrifice my freedom because of it.
