I love thought provoking questions, but I'll answer almost anything. :)

      Saver, definitely. If I have the privilege of being able to save my money, I definitely try to save as much as possible.

    3. Lola

      Yes, I have. I don't really know how I knew. I still don't really know how to define it now, to be honest. I always feel nervous to say it.

      Considering that justice systems are run in societies that are racist, sexist, etc., I don't think that they can be trusted to execute people with anything resembling fairness. Before you even get into the ethical contradictions of putting people to death for killing or thinking about judging certain actions or crimes as "worse" than others, you run into the simple fact that societies and justice systems are run by privileged people. Even if the trial itself is fair, the situations that caused the person to get into these situations may have been unfair. So, in short, no. I don't trust human "justice" enough to be comfortable with the finality of the death penalty.

      Argh, it's so difficult for me to say. My method of becoming attracted to someone seems a lot different than most people.

      Most people start of more or less "neutral". I don't feel an attraction towards most people. Then there are two factors that can make me become attracted to someone: 1. Reminding me of something I love, like, etc. or 2. Sense of humour or being funny. The only times I become immediately attracted to someone without any interaction are usually because they remind me of someone I'm already attracted to or something I find funny. For example, a lot of the people I crushed on during my university times I liked because they either reminded me of someone I'd already liked (one guy looked like my ex-boyfriend), they reminded me of something I found amusing (one guy looked like Dennis the Menace and dressed really preppy, which I found funny), or they behaved in a funny way (one guy was particularly silly and was always making funny faces). Sometimes, it's a combination of all of these. Making me laugh seems like something that every person I'm very attracted to does. And making me laugh can make someone go from just neutral to absolutely adorable.

      I am generally *most* attracted to a person if I know more about them. The more I can learn about them that I like, the more attracted I usually become. I like people who are passionate about things and like quirky things, even if it's something I'm not particularly thrilled by. So, for example if I met someone who LOVED building miniature replicas of the Eiffel Tower... I'm not particularly thrilled by the Eiffel Tower, but if I met someone who was excited about it, I'd probably find it endearing. I also tend to like people who have similar views and care about the same things I do. I admire people who are better at things I wish I was better at, so a lot of the people I'm attracted to end up being very sweet (not that I think I'm horrible or anything, but I notice I'm much more disagreeable than the average person), social (I'm an introvert and my social awkwardness levels are high, I admire people who are good with people), or kind (again, not that I think I'm horrible, but I'm very critical sometimes and I admire people who aren't as critical as I can be). I also like people who aren't afraid to disagree with me and stand up for themselves. I don't think I would be very attracted to someone who just agreed with everything I said.

      I'm very repelled by people who seem to only inhabit one emotion, both in terms of attraction and terms of emotion. People who are constantly unhappy, happy, grumpy, annoyed, etc. really tend to grate on my nerves. I try to be understanding with people who suffer from things like clinical depression where sometimes emotions aren't something you control, but generally if you're a negative person who exudes negativity... I won't want to be around you. I'd like to think that even though I can be quite severe, I'm overall a positive and happy person to be around. If you're anything like Eeyore or Jar Jar Binks, both sides of the spectrum of constant emotion, I'm likely to get bothered. I'm also repelled by people who seem to need affirmation constantly. I always try to be honest and forthright with my opinons and ideas. I couldn't stand having a partner who needed me to say what they wanted to hear constantly. I'm not repelled by confidence, but I am repelled by people who are superior. Even though I'm quite blunt, passionate, and confident about my ideas, I'm never one to assume I know everything or that I have nothing to learn. I may be quite stubborn sometimes to take on new ideas without proof, but I'd like to think that I'm humble enough to accept different ideas if they make sense.

      And lastly, I think I want what everyone else wants. People who will understand me, accept who I am, push me to be better than who I am reasonably, and someone who respects my boundaries and communicates theirs.

      There's quite a few foods I would never eat again. My least favourite food of all time would have to be Lima/Butter Beans. They are disgusting.

    7. Lola

      I'm not really a party sort of person, to be honest. But I suppose if I had to choose, I'd probably want to go to Stephen Fry's birthday party. XD

    8. Lola

      Not entirely. There are things I've done that I regret doing because they caused damage to people I care about, but I sort of feel like, had I never done these things, even though they did cause damage and I'm not proud of them, I wouldn't have learned something from it. Every decision I've made, even the colossally bad ones, has made me into the person I am, so in a way, yes I do have regrets. I do have things I wish I hadn't done. But, I still wouldn't change doing them because, if I did, I'm not quite sure how that would change me for the better or for the worse.

    9. Lola

      How would you define "guy"? I don't think every single person wants anything out of anything. And to assume so based on something as ridiculous as sexual classification is massively ignorant and naive.

    10. Lola

      Definitely a talker. It's not that I can't listen but I can definitely chat. :P

    11. Lola

      I don't really care for "offensive" jokes, to be honest. People who purposefully try to offend people with jokes... I just don't get the point of purposefully trying to upset someone. It's kind of a dick move.

    12. Lola

      Cake is okay. I much prefer cookies or brownies to be honest. But if I have to have cake, I'm going to go with the Chocolate Motherlode cake at Claim Jumper.
