I'm not against plastic surgery in principle. If I had big bucks, I'd have some done myself. But teens are too young for it. And having yourself permanently made over as the hottie du jour is ridiculously short-sighted. 2. What is your opinion on career/money status? For instance, everyone always says "It's not what you do, or how much you make, it's who you are." And then these people go for the ones making 6 or 7 figures a year. Money is important. We all need the basic necessities. Not having enough money for necessities or bills will make anyone miserable, no matter "who you are". Beyond that, I agree that values are more important than money. I wouldn't take a big-bucks job that didn't fulfill me or that was contrary to my values. I also think that in general work plays too much a part in people's lives. 3. Are looks important? Same scenario as above where people say "it's the inner beauty that counts", but still go look for the beautiful people. *sigh* To me, looks matter in that I expect people to do the best with what they have. I wouldn't avoid anyone because their eyes are crooked, they have skin problems, whatever. But I do find greasy hair, sloppy dress, and that sort of thing to be a turn-off. That said, I do ocassionally get excited by classic "good looks". Can't deny it. In general, though, looks become almost totally irrelevant to me once I get to know someone. Ex: Years ago I was introduced to a guy who was so attractive it was truly distracting. It was difficult for me to have a conversation with him because of it. We've know each other since and are now good friends. He's still gorgeous, but I don't notice how attractive he is anymore. He's just him. Ex: On a less platonic note, I've met several "plain" people who became very physically attractive to me once I got to know them. As for myself, I wish I were more attractive. But I'm not going to lose sleep over things I can't change. --------------------------------------- WHOA, FiveBearRugs! Hard questions! Jeez! I just wanted to post a couple I thought of -- didn't realize I was going to have to take a Philosophy final exam! So how would YOU answer those questions? --------------------------------------- 1) Select the sentence that best describes how you feel. a) Eating is a task. No sense wasting time. b) Eating is a social event. The food is secondary. Include in your answer whether you are a fast or slow eater. 2) Do you give/donate when you attend the following functions? How much? a) Graduation party of a distant cousin b) Wedding reception of a distant cousin c) Funeral visitation of a not-too-close co-worker's spouse 3) When you were in college, did you see your roommate(s) naked? If you didn't go to college... Is it because you didn't want to be seen naked?

Didn't have roomates, and never saw anyone naked while in college, except for that dude in a Toga who flashed the audience during Homecoming Parade.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy 1) To what lenghts would you go for a friend in need of cash? I would definitely do as much as I could. 2) Do you restrict yourself by saying things like "I will never go there/do that/own this..." etc etc? Yep, but mostly for things that I don't care for or perceive would be "bad", i.e., "I will never get a tattoo/do this type of work again/smoke", etc. 3) What attracts you most to another person: personality or looks? Bein' a 26 year old male, I'll admit that that can be a toughie. The question isn't "What do you value more", but "What *attracts* you more", and sometimes a pesronality does it right away, but yeah, there are also times when I see a dern fine specimen, and mm-mm-MM...

OMG yes...When my hubby and I moved from Salt Lake to Park City it snowed a ton that weekend! Power lines were down, neighborhoods didn't get plowed for days. During our last trip up Parley's Canyon we had a caravan of three cars in a blizzard going 30mph...not so much fun. 2. What is your favorite book that has been made into a movie? Which was better, the book or the movie? the Lord of the Rings movies, I like the movies a little bit better at times because Tolken tends to blah blah blah too much sometimes, besides the imagery is fabulous. 3. What are your favorite pair of shoes? well thats tough, I like my black mary jane heels, but I also like my flip flops for the comfy factor.

Originally Posted By MissCandice 1. When you're feeling down, do you let yourself wallow around in it for awhile, or do you try to snap out of it as quickly as possible? I let my self wallow for a bit and then tell myself to snap out of it. But I do allow some "wallow" time. 2. Where/when are you the most introspective? (Example: while driving to work in the morning or in a hammock on a Sunday afternoon.) Laying in bed trying to get to sleep. 3. Describe the personality of your innervoice (a wiseguy, a comforting type, a nag, etc.) She is a very very insecure shy timid voice. I try not to listen to her too much.
