Welcome aboard, Softy. (;
1. Since you ask a question concerning dreams almost every time, I think you should have one asked of you. What was the most memorable dream you ever had, positive or negative?
2. What is your ultimate goal in life?
3. Who so far has influenced you the most?
4. What is the weirdest promise you ever made?
5. Is the book always better than the movie? how come?
Enjoy your interview.

Thanks, Ching.
1. The most memorable dream I have ever had would have to be a negative one. My friends and I were being pushed off a building, and I had to watch all of them die. I don't think I'll ever forget this dream.
2. My ultimate goal in life is to help other people, whether that means physically or mentally. Physically: If I continue to go on mission trips, people's lives will be better. Mentally: I have thought about becoming a pyschologist. I hope this job would benefit their mental health.
3. I believe that the person who has influenced me the most in my life would have to be my parents. They provide me with whatever I need, and they drive me everywhere I need to be. It just shows that striving for the best is a good thing.
4. I can't really recall myself making a promise, though I'm sure I did when I was younger. I have an awful memory. Now, though, I try not to make promises because you never know what might happen that prevents you from keeping it. I don't want to let anyone down.
5. I agree with the statement that books are always better than the movies. I think this is because the books have so much more detail than the movie. There is no way that the directors could completely capture every single thing that happens in the book. Also, when I read the book first and then see the movie, I am annoyed when the directors change things from the plot of the novel.

Hey, Bradon. 
I had just posted my reply to ching's questions when my sister insisted on coming on to check something. See, she locked herself out of her other account because she changed the password and can't figure it out (?) and needed to check something. I let her on, but I forgot to sign back in as myself and didn't notice that I was still logged on as her.
I apologize. I'll go in with her help, copy the post, and then delete it and repost my answers below. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Hello, Shadows.
1. The most mysterious thing I've done this week was randomally say: "I think three to the fifth root is 243." I said this in the car ride yesterday because we passed a sign that said route 243, but no one else saw it. My whole family looked at me oddly, and I resumed the previsou conversation.
2. I drink bottled water when I am playing sports. I'm not much of a water fan, but when it comes to sports, I'll take what I can get. It's refreshing and nice on the throat.
3. I was pretty good at untangling things like that, but I was forced to cut my long nails because of volleyball. Otherwise, they would get bent backwards and break off.
4. I plan to graduate from high school and begin college. I would love to be accepted into one of the Ivy Leagues, but I doubt it will happen. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have any other plans...
5. My least favourite colour is probably yellow. I don't really like it, and it doesn't match much.

That's funny, BS (the icarly thing)
1. Have you ever had a dream within a dream?
2. Have you ever lucid dreamed, or considered training yourself to do so?
3. What would you consider the most over-done hair style?
4. What is your deepest held belief?
5. If you were trapped on a boat for a year, and could take a year's supply of only ONE food, what would it be?

It's hilarious. 
1. I have had a dream inside a dream. I was having a nightmare, and then I woke up. (inside another nightmare, though I didn't realize it at the time.) I started doing everyday things, but then I noticed my parents hadn't woken up. I mistakenly went upstairs to check on them and found them dead.
2. I have never been able to distinguish dreaming with reality. I wish I could be able to, but I never realize it's a dream until I officially wake up. Sometimes, I have a feeling that I am dreaming, but I dismiss the thought almost immediately.
3. The most over-done hairstyle would have to be the messy-bun. It seems as though everyday, stylists find something new to add to it. I believe a true messy-bun is created when you aren't looking in the mirror, and couldn't care less about the way it looks.
4. My deepest held belief is being true to myself. I really want to live knowning that I'm being myself, rather than someone people want me to be.
5. If I were trapped on a boat for a year, I would most likely choose protein bars to be my year's supply of food. They would provide me with energy, and I wouldn't need anything to make them.

Hmmmm. Can I remember the answer to any of these questions?
1. The most awkward situation I've gotten involved with because of my faulty memory would definitely be when my boyfriend asked me what colour his eyes were. I call him a boyfriend, but we didn't really do anything, therefore he isn't. Anyways, he had sunglasses on, and he asked me what colour his eyes were in front of all of his friends and I was like, "Brown?" He kind of began to walk away and then I became irritated and asked him what colour my eyes were, and he described them to me. He's colourblind, and had to ask his friend to describe them to him, and he remembered.
2. The last thing I laughed at was my unstable romantic encounters.
3. St. Petersburg, Russia. This city comes to mind because I just concluded the Vampire Academy series. Two of the main characters were in a library, and they found a book with some of the most cherished places in the world. They closed their eyes and opened to a random page. The place was St. Petersburg, and it was ironic because they had both just been there.
4. I try and keep nail polish on my toenails at all times incase I decide to wear flip flops because I don't like plain toenails, especially my own. However, that doesn't mean I do it all the time. I normally procrastinate until there is barely any nail polish left on at all. As for my fingernails, I normally don't bother because of sports. It comes off within a few days, and the time I put into it is not worth it in my opinion.
5. I play right field most of the time, due to my nonexistent fear of diving and hurting myself. I actually love diving across the ground and coming up with the ball. It makes my life feel really accomplished. However, my favorite spot to play is second base because I feel you need to be more alert there. There are so many possibilities of what could happen around that base, or where you would need to throw the ball in order to get the most efficient out. I don't get to play it very often, though, because the way the position is set up, it's basically made for a lefty.

Welcome to the world of interviewing
1) Do you play softball?
2) why are there so many x's in your name?
3) aside from braingle, what is your favorite website?
4) if you were offered a billion dollars, would you take it and why?
5) do you think it's right that the choices one makes as a child/teenager affects their later years when maturity has settled it? (ex: a student who gets bad grades and can't get in college)
What are you looking at? |

The world of interviewing is quite intriguing.
1. I played softball for nine years, but this year I was forced to make a decision between volleyball and softball. I didn't want to have any faulty commitments, and I didn't want to play both sports without a full commitment to either. I didn't think it would be fair on either of the coaches. Therefore, I chose the sport I was better at: Volleyball. I still love softball, and I hope that the summer league will allow me to play with them, as they are the same girls I've been playing with for years.
2. When I created this account, I was young and neive, thinking that the only way to make a proper username was to use the letter "x" frequently. I do not like this username because it replicates my immaturity. (I'm not saying that everyone that has the letter "x" in their name is immature, it just marks that for me)
3. My favorite website aside from Braingle is most definitely Playlist. I constantly have it playing because music is a huge part of my life, and while I'm working, I feel empty without it.
4. If I was offered a billion dollars, well, it would depend on why I was getting the money. I think I would accept it, and I would honestly try to make the world a better place, starting with the local community and working my way from there. The economy is quite awful, and I understand that a bunch of people are suffering because America's economy is basically nonexistent. People can't find work, and it's hurting them and their families. Believe it or not, the economy is causing innocent people to die. It needs major work. I would attempt to help it, though my mere billion dollars wouldn't do much.
5. I don't think it's right at all. I believe everyone has the capability to change. Repeat offenders, however, should face consequences for their actions because they haven't changed, and haven't made an effort to do so. I believe that people who are in rehab centers, actively seeking help, or are receiving guidance from a counselor of sorts. Colleges, however, have a reason to check people's grades before accepting them. If there are minimal bad marks on their report cards, they should realize that the student is capable of much more than the one grade is telling them. This may be due to the teacher, or the student's interest in the subject. Now, elite colleges like Harvard, may check the grades extremely harshly, and that is due to their nature to accept the best of the best. I don't really see a problem with their methods.
Shadows, I will answer your questions when I get home. (I'm supposed to be altering tables on Microsoft for Word Processing)

4) What is your favourite season and what do you like the most about it?
5) Compare and contrast the music you listened to last year and the music you listen to now.
1. I prefer to use pencil when possible because I feel as though I have more freedom. The eraser comes in handy more times than I can count because my ideas change. However, if it's an erasable black pen, I would prefer that because the utensil proves for a smoother, more legible writing.
2. My favorite drink is whole milk, yet I still manage to break my bones.
3. I would take sunset pictures all the time if I had any freetime. The sunset is probably my favorite thing to imagine, let alone see. It's composed of the greatest, most spectacular colours that look brilliant across the sky. Also, the fact that I don't own a camera and do not want to risk breaking my mother's may have something to do with it. I've tried to take pictures of the sunset with my phone, but the quality isn't to my standards, so I erase them.
4. My favorite season is fall because the colour of the leaves stands out against the sky. I also enjoy autumn because the weather isn't too hot, but it isn't a full-blown cold either.
5. Last year, I solely listened to country because my mother would always have that on the radio, and she controls the radio whenever she's in the car. This year, however, I've developed a liking for classic rock. I love the different chord progressions, and some of the lyrics that I find are truly meaningful. Also, I feel as though I explore the different genres a lot more than I had been. I have found some groups from all genres that I really enjoy listening to.

1. Which do you enjoy more: hypothetical questions which challenge you to use your imagination, or concrete, straight-forward questions?
2. Which fictional character, if any, would you say you can most identify with or which most resembles you?
3. You mentioned you like classic rock. Can you list some of your favourite bands?
4. How old were you when you first learned to use a computer? Do you remember your experience starting off?
5. Does hugging ever make you feel uncomfortable?

4. How old were you when you first learned to use a computer? Do you remember your experience starting off?
5. Does hugging ever make you feel uncomfortable?
1. I really enjoy hypothetical questions because they mess with your mind. When someone asks me a hypothetical question, I always feel the need to answer it as though it was a straight-forward question with my honest opinion (something not far-fetched). I think this is because there is always that small chance that the person who is asking the question in a hypothetical manner is actually going through this situation but doesn't want to admit it.
2. In order to answer this question, I took a quiz because there were so many fictional characters to choose from. I will post the result.
You are Jack Bauer
You follow the president's orders, but only
if its a good idea.
You'll defend America's freedom, yet take freedom from Americans who do not cooperate.
You walk a balancing act.
Walk carefully.
(He's the guy on 24)
3. I don't really have a favourite band from the classic rock genre, but I like some of Aerosmith's music, Billy Joel, Elton John, and Journey.
4. I don't really remember how old I was when I started using the computer. I remember using it in kindergarten because there was a sign-out sheet and my friend and I would always try and rig it so we could go on a lot more than everyone else. 
5. Does hugging ever make me feel uncomfortable? Well, it depends on who I'm hugging. If I've known the person I'm hugging for a big chunk of my life, then I don't mind hugging them. However, if I've just met them and they come across as creepy to me, it is really awkward when we hug. I don't know...It's basically whether or not you let your mind wander.

Hey Softball, majestic line drive soaring skyward toward the fence, in this stadium we call ife....oh sorry...I was having one of my 'episodes'.
1. Which decade made less sense to you, the 90s or the 00s..(keep in mind the 90s was the decade that brought us Legends of the Hidden Temple and Guts..whichever way that makes you lean)
2. You're a nice girl but both you and I know there are some strange birds out there (and being members of this site, that's really saying something). What does it take for someone to really annoy you, and what does The Wrath of Softball usually entail.
3. Do you remember when Bobby Boucher showed up at half time and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl....do ya?!
4. Sidenote: Fierce Berry Gatorade (discontinued  ) >>> Whole Milk. What do you think the greatest pizza topping (or combo) ever invented is?
5. If you got to be an action hero, describe your most epic scene, and the cool one liner you say (presumably after you finish off your arch nemesis)
Thanks Softball!
