1. If you were involved in a heist, what part would you play? Would you be the planner, part of the ground team, the one telling everyone else this is a bad idea, what?
Primarily, I'd be the plotter. I'm usually the one who comes up with crazy ideas - typically without any plan to carry them out. However, my friends tend to push me towards putting them into action and it doesn't take much convincing me. When I start scheming, details and logistics quickly flow into my mind. Once plans are in motion, I'd probably serve as advisor to a ground team, through the operation. Chances are, I'll have second thoughts at the last minute and try to convince everyone that its a bad idea and go through all the potential consequences. But I'd give up that argument fast, staying nearby with walky talkies (or some other device) to continuously advise the ground team and keep a look out for potential danger.
2. What's the dumbest or riskiest thing you've ever done that turned out okay? Would you do it again if given the chance? There are quite a few I can think of, but there's always one that stands out in my mind. Last year, my friend and I sneaked out of her parent's house at 3am, broke into a swimming pool in a private gated senior citizen's community, and went skinny dipping, then streaking, within full view of all the elderly resident's windows. We got back to her parent's (who are really overprotective and would have freaked out to see us coming in so late and wet even though we were both in out twenties at the time) and her mom woke up about 30 seconds after we'd made it back and turned off all the lights. It was an amazing rush, and I'd do it again in a second.
3. Would you rather live an adventure or read about an adventure? This all depends on the adventure. I love reading because it opens up entirely new worlds and lets my imagination soar. However, I also adore experiencing and discovering new things, trying to push myself to live a bit on the wild side (whether or not it happens often). If the adventure involved fun and exploration, like a safari or snorkeling through the Bermuda Triangle (which I've done), I'd wish I could jump right into the story. However, when significant danger is involved; monsters, murderers, or violence, I'll leave that to the written world.
4. What would (or does) cause you to break off a friendship or otherwise turn your back on a former friend? Lost friendships for me are usually a matter of fading more so than falling out. Contrary to 'out of sight, out of mind', my friends are in my thoughts long after our lives no longer intersect, be it that we've physically moved away from each other or have simply taken different directions in our life. However, while remaining in my thoughts, they unfortunately fall away from my action/pursuit. I am absolutely terrible about staying in touch. Calls and plans become less and less on my part until we've suddenly just allowed things to fade out. This is usually what happens except for a select few really close friends with whom there's been a mutual effort despite all of our lives' drastically changing. As for actually breaking off a relationship, it takes someone really betraying my trust. I hate dishonesty and once I find out someone lied to me, especially if for a stupid or insignificant reason, its really hard for me to recover. I also can not tolerate anyone deeply insulting or disrespecting me - people don't do that to true friends. Cruelty towards others is another thing that would completely destroy a relationship for me.
5. What was (or would have been) your favourite kind of field trip in elementary school? What about today? In elementary school, it would have been a trip to the zoo. Nowadays, my ideal field trip would be a study abroad. There's an intensive comparative international family law course in Edinburgh I'd love to pursue and it would be perfect for my intended concentration.
