Question #8: Describe yourself using information that no one else knows.

Responses from group 1.

I once had an orgasm while watching a high-speed movie of a flower blooming.

I have an idea for an invention that I think would probably make me a lot of money, but I don't think I'll ever bother to do anything about it.

Sometimes when I feel shy, I imagine that I have a gun, and it makes me feel better. When I first asked my current girlfriend out, I was imagining I had a gun, just to get over my nervousness. I don't know if I would have been brave enough otherwise.

I don't have any secrets.

I think I'm most afraid that I'll become paralyzed. I don't want to have to depend on people that way. I think when you're paralyzed you'd never be sure if people were being nice because they feel sorry for you. I'd rather know how people feel, even if it means they don't like me.

My parents don't know that I know I'm adopted. I found all the documents one day in their room. I was angry at first, but after a while I just felt sorry for them. I never said anything because I think they just wanted me to be all theirs. Sometimes I wish I really was.

After all this time, I still think about my first boyfriend almost every day.

I'm a coward.

When I was young I told my little sister to drink some rubbing alcohol because I wanted to see what would happen. I wish I could say I didn't know it could hurt her, but I just didn't seem to care at the time. She was fine, but she could have died. No one ever even knew. She doesn't even remember it as far as I can tell. I remember that all the time and I thank God for keeping her alive. I think it changed my life because I knew I had it in me to hurt someone and I vowed I would always be a better person than that.

When someone touches the bottoms of my feet, my teeth hum.

I die all the time in my dreams.

Question #9: Decribe yourself in terms of the things you most desire.
