1. name an activity that you typically don't enjoy, but are willing to compromise on to spend time with a member of the opposite sex (whom you are fond of).
one thing i've noticed is that when the company is great, a lot of things i'd normally be disinterested in can be fun.
but i've watched plenty of movies/tv that i'd never have the patience for, otherwise, and spent hours simply "holding the can of nails" during projects, just to keep him company.
2. how quickly does it take you to fall asleep, and how many hours do you usually sleep each night?
if i've managed to spend all my energy, about 15 or so min, but when i was rehabbing my injury and couldn't work out, i tossed and turned quite a bit.
i usually get 6 hours most nights. then after a handful of days, i crash hard and sleep at least 9 hours.
3. how materialistic are you?
i've never been terribly materialistic, but working for myself has helped me to re-orient my life in ways that are focused on God and others and not all the trappings of what can distract us.
i've also learned how very little i actually need to be happy, and how material things so easily can own us and our lives. i love how simple my life has become and how easy it's been to get rid of so many things that i thought i needed.
4. what's your favorite beverage(s) to enjoy with a meal?
usually water. sometimes, a glass of wine, especially when the meal really calls for it, like chicken parm or lovely steak or piece of fish.
and always a kirin with sushi.
5. what do you see when you look in the mirror?
someone whose face seldom conceals the joy in her heart and whose body is (almost) always ready for the next adventure.
