End of Questions
Dec. 1st, 2009 11:32 pmThese from countrysoaper and sadrach
1. Why do men like having beards?
They don't, shaving just sucks.
2. Is there somewhere else in the world that you would like to visit or live? If so, have you begun making plans to go?
The next place on my list is to go to the Philippines with Neil, which will happen once he has money (i.e. never). Beyond that, I'd like to go back to Rome.
3. What's your pocket issue?
They can never hold all the things I want to put in them.
Seriously, it's education, because I believe education is prior to all other questions about the long-term health of the state.
4. Which Shakespearean character do you relate to the most and why?
Hmmm...Prospero, I think. Alex says Benedick, after he gets over his commitment issues.
5. What is a list of traits that you'd like to find in your ideal partner? Organizing by importance is not necessary.
Hmm. This is by no means exhaustive
A sharp, inquisitive mind
A willingness to play and be silly
A high tolerance for my bullshit without being willing to take any of it he shouldn't
An Interest in science fiction
An interest in caring for others
Bonus Question:
6. What is your favorite holiday and why?
My favorite religious holiday is the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross. My favorite secular holiday is Halloween, because of the time of year, and because I had an amazing one my sophomore year.
~~~
1) Do you think you are destined to be happy?
No, almost certainly not. If God's will is expressed in what he creates, my skepticism is justified.
2) What do you find most interesting about other people?
The things I reflect on more than they do, and the things they don't tell people right away, or things that tend to go unsaid.
3) If you could teach one class on the university level, what would it be?
Theology of Popular Culture
4) Favorite TV Show of all time, and why?
That's really hard...West Wing, perhaps?
5) Your opinion on drugs, prescribed and not.
Prescription drugs for physical problems are good almost all of the time.
Prescription drugs for psychological issues are problematic - the side effects are often terrible, and they can impede normalcy as much if not more than what they treat.
Narcotics impede contemplation by making everything seem amazing or making nothing seem it - this necessarily contorts the will for the sake of a useless pleasure. This to say nothing of destroying lives and communities. The appetite for them is best satisfied by lighting some candles, playing some good music, eating something delicious, drinking a glass of wine, reading a good book, or watching your favorite movie, or just playing with someone you love intimately (or 13 someones, this ideally on a large lawn under a tree in mid-autumn). No good comes from them, period.
