Questions: The Illusion of Productivity

I've seen these things a lot, and I've always thought them to be a bit tacky, often presenting the responder with a lot of false dichotomies, empty provocations, and absurd scenarios. But fuck it, let's answer some meaningless questions :D

I also took the liberty of fixing any grammatical errors I found in the questions, some questions being inherently incorrect, some being somewhat inappropriate given my current situation. Sieg heil!

1. Who was the last person you texted?
My mum.
2. When is your birthday?
20th August 1993
3. Who do you want to be with right now?
Someone who wants to be with me.
4. What sports do you play?
Closest thing I get to sport is playing pool with friends, and even then, it's pretty rare.
5. Who is the first person in your contacts?
Lucy.
6. What is your favourite song as of the moment?
Terrorist (Dom & Roland Remix) by Renegade. Awesome DnB tune ^_^
7. If you were stranded on an island, who do would you wish to be with?
Someone who could build us a plane to get us the fuck off the island.
8. What How do you feel right now?
I feel a little doubtful in myself, and I also feel uneasy about my future.

One.

...now you know where I found the questions... >.>
12. Who is your favourite blogger?
Not that I read many blogs or watch many vloggers, but I'd say MrRepzion is my favourite at the moment. One of those guys where you don't agree with everything they say, but still admire the fact that they're intelligent.
13. Where do you want to be right now?
In front of an audience.
14. What do you want to be in the future?
Stand-up comic; perhaps a writer in other areas as well.
15. When was the last time you cried? Why?
Can't remember exactly when it was, but I'm certain it would have been the result of me belittling myself in my head, thinking my future will be devoid of all positiveness, that I'll never find love, never meet anyone new, never find success, that nonsense.
16. Are you happy?
I'm about as far from happy as I am from sad.
17. Who do you miss?
My ex—just that part of her that liked me.
18. If you were given a the chance, would you like to have a different life?
Not sure. I mean, I'd definitely like to change my eating habits and a few other things at the tip of a hat, but then I'd be a totally different person, wouldn't I? I don't think I'd like to give up my experiences; even though I'm unhappy with a lot of things in my life, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable leaving this reality and entering another just to escape it all.
19. What was the best thing you were you've been given?
A relationship that made me feel truly accepted and loved.
20. Who was the last person who called you?
Garvinh, asking me where I was when we had a group meet up. People almost never call me, silly question list :P
21. What is your favourite dish?
Satellite.

Would depend on who was around at the time.

57. Have you ever done something bad but that you don’t regret?
Well, it depends on what you mean by 'bad'. If you mean 'bad' as in 'bad decision', then no—I retain my affirmation that the actions in question were foolish :P  But if you mean 'bad' as in 'against the rules', then yes, I've done a few rebellious things I felt justified in doing, namely making fun of that fence around my school.

There's a part of me that likes the tension in my heart when I feel sad. Somewhat masochistic, but it's definitely there. Other than that, though, I don't like being hurt.

91. Do you believe in the phrase "If it’s meant to be, it will be"?
Kinda. I can see the arguments for determinism, but I don't believe there's divine intent or anything behind it, so I don't believe there's some divine figure making things happen that he/she/it thinks are 'meant' to happen.
92. Who do you want to marry?
How can this question cohabit the list with questions like "Have you ever been kissed?" :P  I don't want to marry anyone at the moment. If I meet someone I love to bits and want to be with forever, maybe start a family with, then hell yeah, bring on the rings; but until then, I don't fucking care about marriage or having children or any of that shit. For now, I'll stick to my plain old dream of 'get laid'.
93. Do you believe in destiny?
As I said, I can see the arguments for determinism, but still kinda believe we have a little free will. I guess I'm just a compatibilist.
94. Have you ever thought "I already found my soulmate"?
Not really. I loved my ex more than anything in the world, but there was always that small part of me that wondered what would happen if and when it ended, so I didn't buy into the whole "I found her!" thing all the way.
95. How do you look right now?
Awful, as per usual.
96. Do you believe that first true love never dies?
Yeah, I kinda do. I think of Sally from time to time; apart from when I was infatuated with/dating my ex, the thought was always in the back of my mind, coming up every now and again, as it still does.
97. Have you found your true love?
Satire doesn't count, does it?
98. What should you be doing right now?
Anything's more productive than this shit, lol.

Rachel.
100. Did you ever feel like you’re not good enough?
Always. Fucking always
Well, there's mah list. Might do another list at some point—who knows? This was a cunt to format properly, so, if there is to be another list, it shall be a while before it arrives, lol.

    1. I never said it wasn't fun, lol, I had lots of fun answering the questions. Just find some of the questions kinda crappy in some of the lists I read, that's all I was saying. Otherwise, they're a good way to present random info about one's self. I usually find yours interesting; we share quite a few answers :)
