What's your alarm ringtone?
It is one of the default options on my phone. The phone is not in my name, so I'm not able to buy ringtones or anything else phone-related.

Please reply this message with a question you want to ask those anon who ask silly questions to you on ask.fm ?
I'm not sure I have a question for anonymous askers. Most of my askers choose to be anonymous, so it's not an unusual thing. Most of the questions I've received recently have been pretty good. I appreciate having a distraction from my pain, so feel free to keep asking as long as the questions aren't inappropriate.
What do you prefer – listening or talking?
I hope I am a good listener. In my heart, I really want to be. But I am an anxious person and I know I probably need improvement. May God help me.
People you may like
Do you believe in miracles?
I'd like to. Maybe I do.
single/taken/talking?
Single and overthinking.
What's something every teen should know?
A clear understanding of the basic human right of bodily autonomy and how to respond appropriately to it.
PAP of your current surroundings?
I'm sitting in the dark, so this isn't going to work out. Ask me another time. :-)

The best movie for you is...?
Sorry, I deleted my first answer so I could write more! :)
I can't choose a favorite movie. If I go to the theater (which is rare), I try to keep it fun, like a comic movie or animation, because I'm a crier. I also have a startle reflex, and my medical condition is severely negatively affected by adrenaline, so I avoid movies in the horror/suspense genre, and I don't like movies with a lot of sexual content. I like science, science fiction, history, historical fiction, adventure, biographies, health and wellness...those seem to be my favorite genres. Normally I am most comfortable watching movies alone at home. I posted a list of movies on a previous question a few days ago that I think are worth watching. Feel free to suggest more.

Have you ever visited a place where it made an emotional impact on you? How did it make you feel?
Yes, I have visited many places like that. Most historical sites and museums have an emotional effect on me. I am easily moved. I've shed tears over places I loved, world-changing events (both good and bad), and even certain websites. I'm empathic, so what people say, do, have done, or have been through can affect me deeply. I'm a highly sensitive person.
What would like to achieve in your life?
Let's start with a safe place to live independently. I need a home that I can breathe and function in without those around me negatively affecting my health and well-being. I can't seem to achieve even that much, so I have no reason to reach for anything else. I am thoroughly fed up.
How often do you check your emails?
Daily.
How many of your friends are vegans/vegetarians?
I have a few friends who are vegan, and I know quite a few people who are at least semi-vegetarian, if not completely so. My step-niece is one of them. I respect them, and always make sure I cook appropriately when we get together for pot luck events.
Do you have a blog?
I have a few:
ugottafriend.com is currently down for maintenance.
fightinghkpp.blogspot.com is my systemic disease blog.
gulfcoastartstudio.blogspot.com is my art/craft blog.

What's Love for you today?
Preparing for my brother's wedding this weekend.
Gathering some DVDs and books to give to my nieces.
Reminding myself to keep health and safety a priority.
Trying to convince myself that I'm worthy of love.

i really wanna know more about your personality/ What are your secrets?
Oh honey, I'm way too boring to have secrets. :-) There are things that I'm not comfortable talking about (and would appreciate that people respect that boundary), but I can't think of anything notable that I haven't told at least one person about. As for learning about my personality, this is a pretty good place to start. I've been on Ask for years answering questions. Mind you, some of the answers have probably changed a little here and there over the years, but otherwise, you already know a lot more about me than a lot of people do just by reading this page. What is it, specifically, that you're wanting to know about my personality? Why do I interest you at all, Anonymous Asker? :-)
How often do you go to the cinema?
Usually once or twice a year
What movies inspire you?
In no particular order:
The Color Purple
A Little Princess
The Dollmaker
Field of Dreams
The Blind Side
Erin Brockovich
The Help
Finding Forrester
Courage Under Fire
The Bucket List
Up (Disney)
It's A Wonderful Life
Happy (documentary)
Forrest Gump - I am reluctant to list this one, but I'm from the featured town and come from a seafood family, including shrimpers, so it hits pretty close to home...literally.
This is a great question, and I might add more movies as I recall them, so you may receive answers more than once. There are a ton of movies I haven't seen, so feel free to suggest some that inspire you. :-)

Do you have dimples on your cheeks?
Not really. They're large and round. My cheeks look pretty much the same as they did when I was a chubby two-year-old. Gotta love genetics.
What are your three favorite songs?
It's impossible to choose three favorites, but I will share three (out of hundreds) that I love:
Desperado by The Eagles: https://youtu.be/3-bwXhts8Zg
Desperado Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperado_(Eagles_song)
Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams: https://youtu.be/eFjjO_lhf9c
S of 69 Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_%2769
I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz: https://youtu.be/O1-4u9W-bns
IWGU Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Won%27t_Give_Up
I could easily give a new list of three favorite songs every week. I've got a ton of them. :-)

Do you know anyone who hates shopping?
I don't like shopping, and I've been asked this so many times, I have a feeling you're being sarcastic. :-)
Where does all your money go?
Rent, Utilities, Food, Fuel/Maintenance, Medical Care, and Household Expenses...not that it's any of your business.
What does friendship mean to you? What should your friend be like? Do you have a lot of friends?
Hello, thanks for the question. :-)
Friendship is pretty important to me. I'm alone, so friends are all I have, really. I feel best when my friends are respectful of my individuality, my introversion, my medical conditions, and my personal boundaries. A friend is a safe person to be around, alone or otherwise. I appreciate a friend who isn't skeptical or judgmental. A good friend is emotionally supportive. I think platonic intimacy is a great thing, and I think everyone should have someone they can fully trust to be that person (and for you to be that person to in return, of course). Friendship is a special kind of relationship. You can't choose your family, but friendship is a choice in mutual respect and affection. All of that said, I don't expect to find a perfect friend. Heaven knows I am deeply flawed and need a lot of work. We're all human. But, I think empathy, communication, and understanding go a very long way. I have a habit of calling everyone (social media, blog readers, etc) my friend, but I suppose most of the people in my life are more like acquaintances. I don't have friends in my small town. I do have a few friends in my region, around the country, and overseas. It's primarily (or completely in some cases) an online friendship. They're fantastic, and I love them all. I guess the internet is a bit of a lifeline for me. My health problems are isolating, and my life has changed quite a lot over the last 8 years. Friends have come and gone in a big way for many reasons. They have jobs. They have families. They have priorities that don't include hanging out with a tired, broken old soul in rural Alabama. That's nobody's fault. It's just adulthood. So, I feel as though I do have friends, but if I stop and think about it, probably not a lot, and I wouldn't consider myself exceptionally close to anyone at this time.
