This was a pointless bio that contained pointless facts you didn't need to know. And crayola.

1) How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Probably anywhere between 2 to 15. Sometimes I act like a little kid who doesn't know how to behave and is amused by everything and sometimes I can be as angsty and angry as a typical teenager.
2) Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Never trying because at least you'll have the experience. You'll know what the outcome would have been and you can learn from that.
3) If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Because that's part of being human. We're not perfect and that's fine. We can't always have our own way, we have to do some things we don't like and we have to face the facts that some of the things we like we aren't going to be able to do.
4) When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I'd hope it would be an even amount of both. While actions speak louder than words the pen is mightier than the sword and language is always going to be my strength. I can debate my way out of the apocalypse if necessary.
5) What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
Inequality. We are all the same, we all deserve to be treated the same and we all should recognise that we are all different but we all deserve the same rights.
6) If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Entertainment. Hugs, clowning around, being stupid. Anything to get a smile
7) Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
I'll always do what I believe in a way, be what I think and no less. But I'm always settling for what I'm doing, dreams are hard to follow and sometimes I have to make concessions. I'll do one then the other if time permits.
8) If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I would be more reckless, try more things. Less anxious as well. That's too short a time to say no to things.
9) To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
I would hope a lot, but really probably not. There are too many factors for it to be all in my control.
10) Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
Doing things right. The right things are usually so subjective anyway.
11) You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?
I'd tell them that they are being rude and nasty. I wouldn't tell them that she was my friend, I'd tell her that she should watch out for herself though. I would make sure they learned a lesson.
12) If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
Baby food tastes nicer than real food, don't take it for granted. (Newborns won't remember any of it, why bother wasting it on something deep and meaningful?)
13) Would you break the law to save a loved one?
That depends on the loved one and the extent of the law. It wouldn't be a complete impossibility.
14) Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
I see them both as the same thing. It's hard to tell them apart when so much of the art I love is bordering on the insane or chaotic
15) What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
16) How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back?
Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Why are you, you?
Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
What are you most grateful for?
Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
Has your greatest fear ever come true?
Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now?
What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?
At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?
If not now, then when?
If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?
Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?
Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil?
If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?
Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before?
When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in?
If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?
Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?
What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?
If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?
What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing?
What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?
In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that?
Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?
Probably anywhere between 2 to 15. Sometimes I act like a little kid who doesn't know how to behave and is amused by everything and sometimes I can be as angsty and angry as a typical teenager.
