  1. Question 7- DEATH BY SPOONS.Bam.

    Question 8- Absolutely. We're killing it, and sooner or later it'll give out on us. Or aliens will bring some disease that kills out the population...I watched a couple of movies like that.

  2. 2. Can't know unless we try to find out. Space exploration would be the obvious and best way to be able to answer that question, I guess.

    4. Oh yeah, I'd lie. But I would pay my dues in those 7 years to make up for what I did to get in that position in the first place.

    6. Science and math, more specifically Astronomy/physics/engineering.

    7. By killing Aliens (maybe zombies), on national Television.

    8. Anytime soon? So long as there is no outside interruption (like a huge meteor), I don't think people are dumb enough to physically destroy our world. We might bring doomsday in an ethical fashion however, like a world-wide tyrancy, or the multi-national business takeover. if you've ever read the book Feed, it accurately portraits this.

    10. Nah, but I would probably die.

  3. 1. So so so so many answers to this question.
    2. Eating delicious food!
    3. From what I know about politics, I'm democratic, mostly because I think they're more able to change their opinions based on what's going on in the world, opposed to Republicans, who I feel are more uptight and conservative (which I guess is the entire point of the party...)
    4. As bad as this sounds, I probably wouldn't because I wouldn't be able to stand feeling so guilty.
    5. With the exception of country music, I'm pretty open to almost anything.
    6. Education or English. Or both, because they both interest me.
    7. I don't think I can beat Maia's answer.
    8. Yepppp, nothing can last forever.
    9. Yes, there's nothing new under the sun (not to use cheesy quotes or anything).
    10. Probably; most humans do.

  4. Question 2- to live it to the fullest.

    Question 5- Rap, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake

    Question 7- Getting hit by an ambulance.

  5. 1. My favorite book is The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb because it was amazingly haunting.
    2. Realistically? I suppose the purpose of our lives is to pro-create to prolong the existence of our race, but I would like to think it was eating tremendous amounts of cheese.
    3. I think at this point I'm sort of Democratic Socialist? I think that party actually exists in Vermont or some granola place like that.
    4. No, I wouldn't lie. If I did I would spend the rest of my life being eaten away by guilt.
    5. I like alternative and anti-folk music. Recently I have been listening to Regina Spektor, Cage the Elephant, and Joni Mitchell.
    6. I think I want to be a history or an english major. They are both pretty general because I really have no idea what I want to do with my life.
    7. I think it would be interesting to die from orange juice poisoning.
    8. Yeah, sure. I mean, it is being run by humans after all.
    9. Because even non-conformers have to conform to something.
    10. I think so, I'm not immune to corruption.

  6. 1. Last Night I sang to the Monster. Because it made me cry more than another book I've ever read.
    2. Don't ask me. I'm just trying to live and trying not to die.
    3. I'm a democrat because I've never known anything else.
    4.Of course.
    5. I like any and all music.
    6. Forensic Physiology.
    7. read the gashlycrumb tinies by Edward goery and you'll have my answer.
    8. Not really.What's considered ruin?
    10. Yeah. I don't really have faith in myself when under pressure.

  7. 1.) Probably the Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan. They are my favorite books because I like vampires that don't sparkle.
    2.) Being happy.
    3.) I'd say Democratic, although because they cant seem to do anything, neither sides seem very appealing right now.
    4.) I'm not sure, but I hopefully wont ever have to be in that position to find out.
    5.) Don't have a favorite genre, but Rock and Rap are my favorites. There is too many bands/people that I love to listen to, to pick three.
    7.) Whatever way was instant. I wouldn't want to to be painful, maybe free falling?
    8.) I wouldn't say heading towards ruin but, we are definitely damaging it. Although I think the world would most likely kill us off with the damage we did before we destroyed it.
    10.) I don't believe I would because I don't ever want to be in that position. I don't enjoy having power over others, so I probably would use it the least amount possible.

    3. I don't know anything about politics. Therefore, I have no views. :)

    2. No. We live and die. Thats how it goes. If you find a reason to live, great. If you don't, you'll still end up the same way as the happy guy next to you.

    3. I have none. I don't need to keep up with the corruption of the world.

    4. Yes, yes I would. No hesitation. I would.

    5. J-rock! (Japanese Rock) My favorite bands are the Gazette, SID, and L'arc~en~ceil and VAMPS.

  11. 1.) Night by Elie Weisel-I like it because it's about the historical horrors of the holocaust.
