2) Who is the last 5 people to text you? fleeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3) How many people have you kissed this month? I've kissed at least three individually. I don't remember who the third was (the first two are Sparky and Beast of course), but she had soft skin on her cheek.

4) Have you liked a lot of people in your lifetime? grr-woooffff!!

5) How do you feel on [about?] second chances? In my case, they are usually the last chance I give. I tend to keep that thought in mind when I'm given another chance.

6) Is there anything that's annoying you right now? My G-I tract is acting goofy still.

7) Would you like to change an old friend or previous boyfriend/girlfriend? Huh? I'd probably go for changing a former friend, but then again...why bother?

8) Did your last boyfriend/girlfriend break your heart? Nope.

9) Name something that can scare you? Tornado warnings and something unexpected touching me.

10) How do you feel on drinking? When done to excess, it's not pretty. However, the occasional drink (i.e., one or less per day) is probably better than not drinking at all. Unless, naturally, you're an alcoholic.

11) Have you ever been used for something? Yes.

15) In life, what [has been] the reason for most of your tears? Being stupid, mostly my own stupidity.

16) Who is the best person to cuddle with? Beast. Sparky's got cuddling potential, though--he was WONDERFUL at cuddling when he was a baby. ;-)

22) Would you ever date anyone younger than you? I married someone younger, slightly. I see no problem, at this point in my life especially, in being overly picky. Assuming I was dating. Which I'm not.

23) What helps you relax the most? Sleep.

24) Are you happy with where you're at in life? Yes.

25) Tell the person you like how you feel? Uh...seems reasonable.

26) Is the opposite sex really confusing? Not always, but sometimes.

27) How do you feel towards the person you last kissed? I love him.

28) What did you spend the last year doing? Breathing...etc.

29) You walk by the person you last fell the hardest for, what do you do? ...I would be hard pressed to recognize him.

30) What made you smile today? Sparky. Beast. And clean bathrooms.

31) Could you go on knowing someone didn't really love you? Depends on who we're talking about.
