I once met this psychologist, and she gave me some great advice, but I can't tell you now, because it has sunken into my subconsious and has now become a part of my personallity. It's strange, but I couldn't tell you what it is even if I tried, It's just something I do. Like when put in potentially stressful situations, I handle things completely differently from the way I did before. At first I had to do it consiously, but it has since become a part of me.
Same Q. I like.
My dad. He has taught me more than I could ever remember, and I knwo he'll continue to do so.
What is your relationship with your parents like?
Really good, I feel that I can talk to them about most things. And that's just as well, because I still live at home.
At what age were you happiest?
I think 13 was the best year I ever had, but 14 was fun too...it felt interesting...
Same ques.
Before 1994, it's hard to pin down the exact age. Probably early in my twenties when the wife and I were young and before we had children and so much responsibilities. ;) 1994 brought a devestating change to us all will the illness that sidelined me.
Next person.
Probably at age 19 or 20 - the ages when I approached many changes in life, moved away from home, and everything went either really well or horribly, which subsequently made me stronger and wiser (or so I would like to think :D).
To the person below me: on the other side of the question, at what age did you feel the unhappiest?
It is actually a phase and not a particular age. It was when I was doing my postgraduation, but I can alsoe say that the experiences I had then have made me a different person, I used to take things lightly before, but cant do so now, which becomes stressful at times.
Same ques.
I'm not sure. I am very content with how my life has been. There was a time when I was about 9 or so that I hated where I lived and everyone there...that was certainly not good. I'm having a pretty hard year right now, but God's been very good to me in many ways as well.
When you were younger was there an age you always wished you were?
Not really. but now that I'm older, and soon will have to start walking with a cain at a speed of 1 mile an hour, I wish I was a little younger, oh I don't know, about 22.
What do you see when you look out the window? Please be as descriptive as possible.
I see a pretty mud wall, with a black grating above it, geometrically decorated. Over it there is a wide, open space of sand and dust, with busy construction at the edges and a beautiful, large, new, mosk to the far right.
Same question please, I like it.
Well, there are bars on the outside, and there seems to be a few other inmates in the courtyard playing a game of chess. The guards sit at another table eating donuts and...
Okay, just kidding, I actually see a street, with a few houses on the other side, with nice gardens, filled with nice plants, a few cars are parked in the street. There's also a big green Ginkgo biloba (It's a tree, the only reason I know it's called that is because the name is so strange) right in front of my window.
I'd say same question, but that would be silly, so instead I'll ask you to go out the front door and describe what you see.
When I open the door I see a marble porch (nothing special here, it's what they use on EVERYTHING) and a patch of scraggly grass on the right. There is a tall tree, which, when you follow it all the way up, brushes the window of my room. Accross the street are villas exactly like ours, connected on one side to another villa and on the other to the next door garden. The flag of Sweden hangs in a flower pot beside the door directly accross, and other plants sit in the shade under the car ports. A motorscooter leans against the wall to the house. A single tree with lovely white flowers on it rests on a low wall accross the street.The street is paved with pale bricks and there are black and white curbs.
What room is the best view in your house from and what is the view?
My soon to be new room, for I intend to annex the territory formerly in the possesion of my sister, has the best view. From this room, there is an unobstructed view into the area, and it is possible to see several kilometers into the polder, with the dike of the river at the end, unfortunately, last year several large windmill turbines were placed in the landscape, and their purpose is to pollute the view. It's a completely unreliable form of energy, wreaks havoc on the natural environment they are placed in and the only reason wind mill turbines are used so extensively is because groups like greenpeace don't look far ahead and like to think they are all very important, and that was probably getting too political so I'll just shut up and say I like the view, despite the stupid things.
Did you ever get lost in the woods?
A lot of times. When I was living in Russia, I was gathering mushrooms regularly, and to gather a lot I often went pretty far. But usually I was able to find the way back reasonably soon.
What animals have you met in the woods?
Deer, rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks.Once, in Washington state by Mt. Rainier, a chipmunk scurried up and sat a few inches from my foot, peering up at me!
What is your favorite wild animal?
