Only one, my aunt's. I'm not quite old enough to have many married friends and there are only nine or so people in the world who would invite me to their wedding anyway.
How many dollars should be spent on an engagement ring?

How many dollars should be spent on an engagement ring?
None. Engagement rings should not happen. Right when a couple really needs money for really real things, they are expected to go buy a diamond. It is just too stupid to even think about.
How many times have you lost all respect for someone you once considered a friend?
That is also my view on engagement rings and objectively the correct answer.
Mmmhhmm it's hard for me to answer this. I often like people without having much respect for their intellectual capacity and I very rarely place people above myself in any regard to be respected in the first place. I'm going to say it has happened twice, one is a guy who I met in eighth grade and who I still consider myself friendly with (i'm not so sure he feels that we are friends) and the other is a girl I dated when I was sixteen and now I think is a bit of an idiot. I don't hate either of them though.
Same question.
It's only happened with two or three people. Two of them were controlling their personalities with prescribed medication and decided to take themselves off without telling their doctors, apparently because it interfered with their sex drives. The people underneath were almost unrecognizable and aggressively inimical. The third one is just an old friend whose life took a different course. I wouldn't say that I've lost all respect, but I don't want to know her anymore.
How many cats have you owned?
Haha 'many cats' ;)
To which I am allergic, but whatever.
How many types of cereal do you really like?
none
How many sick days off of work or school do you have on average?
365.
How many times do you wake up during a typical night?
Zero, it's getting to sleep in the first place which is the problem.
How many minutes would you ideally spend cuddling a significant other every night?
Ideally? It would be like Gaia and Uranus (sans Kronos, one hopes).
How many nations are represented by the books you have read in the last year or so? I don't need you to list them, and I'm not trying to open up the trite and huffy old LitNet debate. I'm just curious about the number.
Oh man well if i remember correctly I'm covering sixteen odd, counting England and Ireland separately. There are quite likely one or two more I'm forgetting.
How many litnet posters would you trust to have your back in a fistfight with PikeBishop and 'several notable scholars'?
All but three, and two of them would do in a pinch.
How many ex-girlfriends (or ex-boyfriends) have gone on to be lasting friends with you?
None.
Same question.
Nada.
How many years old were you when you realized that protecting individuals from crimes that haven't happened yet isn't really what the police do for a living?
10. We called about a prowler. Might as well have gotten out a shotgun.
How many times have you been to court for any reason, including jury duty?
Jury duty once, but the case was settled out of court as soon as they seated us. And I was once subpoenaed to testify against someone, but he fessed up before I took the stand. Pretty tense afterwards standing in line with him to get my parking reimbursement, though. So two.
How many times have you been intentionally shot at? (Once for me).
