[LeeAndra]

(01) Why are you best friends with your best friend?
We have the same weird sense of humor. She's no drama. She's loving and loyal. She needed me.

(02) What bothers you the most about other people?
not taking responsibility for your actions and/or complaining abt the OBVIOUS natural consequences of said actions

(03) Would you ever marry for money?
*lol* I seem to attract pitifully poor men 'on the verge of obtaining money,' so I don't think I'll ever need to worry abt this!

(04) Do you prefer to text message or talk on the phone?
I hate the phone 95% of the time. It's okay with my mom or FI, but otherwise, I'd rather text, email, or IM.

Yes. However, Someone else has a better plan. :)

(09) Do you think it's possible to only love one person for the rest of your life?
Hmmm... I believe in soulmates. Mostly. I suppose this, by default, makes me also a believer in loving one person for the rest of your life. It seems to me, though, that a few stray bits of my heart are floating around out there in the universe, and those might be considered love or something like it whether I like it or not. Do I think I will ever love someone else like I love FI? No, I don't think so.

(10) Are you close with your family?
not really, but getting there

(11) Name one thing that you are good at.
I like to think I'm funny and give good counsel.

(12) Name one thing that you are bad at.
I have issues with not being liked 'best.' My BFF calls another gurl & me her best friends and besides the obvious word nerd impossibility of having two bests, it really hurts me that I'm not her BEST best.

(13) Do you believe in karma?
No. I do believe in God and logical consequences, however, which can often be mislabeled as karma.

(14) What is your biggest pet peeve?
The latest is FI playing his guitar in the living room when I'm trying to watch TV. Hello?! How can any human being not view this as rude?! He says, 'my house, my rules.' I turn the volume up and roll my eyes.

(15) What are you allergic to?
cats
