Member Questionnaire 1 (TylerRoss)
What is beauty? What is love?
Beauty is in the timing of the world around you.

Love is loyalty, love is humility, love is servitude.
What are your most important values?
Truth.
Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?
I used to place much more weight in faith and hope on a guy hanging out above, but reality has done a great job of clouding my eyes to anything beyond what is "here".
Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
A necessary evil that has pretty much become just "evil". There is a place for the defense of justice and we have completely lost sight of that ideal. Now, we fight for the defense and benefit of self.
Power is speaking softly and carrying a big stick.
What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
Religion, sexuality, music, and drugs.

Those interest me, but those are only the most recent of long conversations. Any good conversation drifts...you won't spend the entire time speaking and listening on one subject, because everything correlates.
Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
Eh. I try to take care of my body, but generally only passively. I hardly make an effort to eat the healthiest or work out the most. I just live in moderation.
What do you think of daily chores?
Dullllllllllllll.
Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
I just finished "A Brave New World". I am fascinated by dystopian literature like 1984, Lord of the Flies, Watchmen, etc... I am terrified and enthralled by what we are capable of "achieving".

I have loved just about every movie I have seen by the Coen brothers.
What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
Movies make me cry, and a witty comment will make me smile.
Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?
Running through some woods/on a stage.

Kinda different scenarios.
What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?
I'm narcissistic. I have an inflated sense of self-worth.

Little things can frustrate me to the ends of the earth.
What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
I'm charismatic and creative.

I'm quick-witted.
In what areas of your life would you like help?
Investment.
Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
Yes. I get stuck in a spot where I feel like I made a mistake, and I can't move on until it is rectified and restored.

I have to sometimes step back and accept things are out of my power.
What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
A passion for good art, regardless of its medium. Athleticism. Adventure.
I dislike those that fail to take into account the feelings of those around them.

I get along with most, but occasionally a character will strike a dissonance with me.
How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?
See above: Art, Athleticism and Adventure.
If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
I just want a kid that is capable of loving the world around them.
A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
Inward is a tally mark, and outward is probably a sigh and a shoulder shrug.
Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
Complacency is bleeding us dry.

Sometimes, I feel hopeless.
How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?
Friends are the ones that stick around and the ones that want me to stick around.
It depends on the friend group and the physical location.
How do you behave around strangers?
Cordial.
