Usually my idea of fun isn't exactly the same as most people's so I would try to offer as many choices as I can think of. Most likely something like gliding, water amusement park, hiking or sightseeing.

I'll be unoriginal so same question:

Kudos, that sounds like my type of fun. :)

I really know little, but in principle it sounds like a way to get around the solar system but it takes a while to build up speed and I am not sure how effective it would be in the outer reaches if you stopped to make a visit and had to build up speed again.


What is your opinion on people as a whole- good, bad, or indifferent?

My opinion of people? Would you like to hear before or after February 9th? ... only a few people are morally good in my opinion, and everyone is capable of evil.



Do you think that stalking, harassing, slandering, mocking, manipulating, and other behaviors of the sort should be considered "normal" and "acceptable"?

No, I don't. My peers have done that to me, my entire life. Why should I?

What type of memories do you have of high school?

I remember rarely making it to first period classes on time, crazy lunchroom foodfights, 9/11 happening and debating about starting a war with Iraq.

What sticks in your mind about high school?

I'm joking. I don't have a favorite. :lol:



When choosing what music to listen to, do you choose something to match your mood or something to change/improve it?

I don't really listen to music that much. I don't think I've ever selected music based on current or preferred emotional state.

I'm not good at teaching others. I can learn academic subjects fine on my own but I can't do much to encourage people to learn. I can show them what I know, but I can't express that in a way which facilitates their comprehension.



What is your quest?

To become a better person. But I don't think I'm succeeding so far.

No the means is everything. The end should just be another starting point and is largely unimportant.



What are your impressions on morality? Do you see morality as limits that you apply to yourself or as guidelines or a set of rules that you live by?

I see morality as a set of rules people should live by. But I think everyone has their own version of morality. Like Andrew Ryan in Bioshock said: "We all make choices, but in the end, our choices make us."
