DEEP THOUGHTS about life and you in it

Do you consider yourself tolerant of others? To a point. You have to work to get on my nerves.

What is the compliment you get most from people? Either that I'm funny or intelligent.

Are you a loner? Very much so.

If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Depends on who I was. I'm hard to approach, but a good friend.

How do you vent? Verbally. Under my breath, if necessary.

What is the most important lesson you've learned from life? Live it! There are no guarantees about tomorrow, so Carpe Diem.

BELIEFS

Astrology? No. The idea that stars trillions of miles away, in random configurations that make sense only from Earth somehow have an effect on people is patently ridiculous.
