    I like watching most any sport occasionally but I don't watch any regularly. It's just awesome to see what people are capable of -- in a positive way, like athleticism. In terms of what sports I like to play, I've been doing martial arts for about 10 years if that counts. I also like playing racquetball, and I love things like swimming, biking, and weightlifting. But I do it all casually, I'm not on any teams or anything.

    Sometimes, because I have a bad habit of judging people even when I don't know them. But it's something I've been trying to become more aware of and improve.

    I would try to join a monastery or become a nomad. Life was pretty much hell 1,000 years ago though, unless you happened to be royalty, so I certainly hope this won't happen to me at any point.

    My biggest fear by far is the idea of anything bad happening to people I care about, or losing them in some way. It's not an empty fear, either. I have lost people I care about, sometimes to death or illness, sometimes to location, sometimes due to breakdown in understanding and respect. These moments have been worse than anything else I've experienced in life, and I've seen some shit.

    Many people I've talked to throughout my life don't understand why I fear what I do fear, and don't fear what I don't fear.

    My favorite is 7. Not going to type out my least favorite. I don't have a "lucky" number. I don't believe numbers hold supernatural powers, or anything of the sort. But everything has connotations and associations, and sometimes they're things I want nothing to do with.

    Real-life Harry Potter every flavor jelly beans or whatever they're called. That shit was nasty and it also may have been dangerous.

    I tried to stay up all night when my neighbor's house caught on fire a week or two ago, but I succumbed to weakness and fell asleep. I was determined to stay up to make sure nothing bad happened to my parents, or if the authorities needed to talk to us. The smoke was coming out of my neighbor's house so heavily at one point I couldn't even see the fucking house, and it was definitely coming in my house. But I failed. Thankfully, my parents were fine.

    My personality has many aspects to it. I can be goofy, chill, and laid back. I can be passionate, intense, and determined. I have often been at very extreme ends of this spectrum, but I'm usually somewhere in between.

    You're not ugly, and anyone who calls you that is a loser and full of shit. No one is ugly, but there are people with ugly personalities who try to make up for their insecurities through hurting other people.

    Most of my dreams have supernatural or spiritual qualities to them, or are at least highly abstract in some way. This often makes it difficult to describe them, and whenever I can, they're still packed with various levels of metaphor that I have a lot of trouble unraveling. I had a dream once that I died and became a ghost that could wander around through large groups of people without being perceived in any way, shape, or form. I felt intense joy and happiness at that, which is pretty fucked up. That dream came out of my social anxiety that I've dealt with my whole life. But then later in the dream my vision split up into four panels and I witnessed four "realms" at the same "time" but all normal meanings of time and space were lost. There's no words in any language I know to describe what it was really like, so that approximation will have to do. I saw a vague but distinctly dressed man in that dream that I saw in another experience in which I was ripped out of my dream by an external force and attacked by a nonphysical entity before regaining normal conscious awareness. At the moment my consciousness was captured and redirected, I saw him again. I don't know who or what it is, except that I knew it wasn't a human and all I was seeing was a flat symbol. Similar to seeing a flat map of a country as opposed to seeing the country itself in 3D.

    I can break down complex systems and highly abstract concepts into its smaller parts and make sense of it that way, which also enables me to learn more about the bigger picture. This has helped me in everything from math, philosophy and computer science to not getting ran over back in my retail job or walking around my city at night without getting jumped. Everything is a system of some sort, and sometimes that includes things like space and time: sometimes it includes very different things that only slightly resemble those, and sometimes it's something entirely different.

    I always care about what goes on in the world and I keep up with major news on a semiregular basis. But so much of it is incredibly soul-crushing to the extent where I have to systematically and periodically ignore it for the sake of my own happiness, sanity, and well-being.

    It depends. I'm content to follow when the issue/problem/project at hand is either something I don't care about or something dangerous enough that I'm not ready to take the risks necessary. I'm not afraid of danger or death, but what does frighten me is living a ruined life. I frequently take the lead when it's something I care about and the risk/benefit ratio checks out.

    Then you aren't working with the right preachers. I talk to my priest on facebook and I've hung out with him over coffee. He's really chill and helpful, and doesn't dance around issues or censor himself. He's one of the few people I know IRL I can be completely open and honest with.

    I often eat the crust first whenever I'm eating any kind of sandwich. I like the crust, but sometime years ago I decided that I didn't really like eating the rest of the sandwich with the crust on it and I've been doing it out of habit ever since. But these days it's much more a habit that I do without thinking about it than something that actually bothers me.

    Smoking kills you. There's no way around that fact. It doesn't matter if you smoke it, chew it, vape it, or whatever. E-cigs aren't any better either. It's an addictive drug: nicotine is even more addictive than opiates, from what I've heard. I've taken opiates before, legally, as prescribed, when I had tonsillitis for almost 2 months (two years in a row) and was in extreme pain. Those fucked with my brain enough: I hope I'll never need those ever again, let alone anything that's even more addictive.

    I wonder what role non-Euclidean geometry plays in certain concepts from quantum physics, like superposition and entanglement (or "spooky action at a distance" as Einstein called it). Two things being able to occupy the "same" space at the "same" time or being linked and able to transmit information faster than the speed of light "far away" from each other in space only seems impossible when we think about the universe as having 3 dimensions. It also raises interesting questions regarding the origin of this universe and ideas involving universal patterns from microcosm to macrocosm.
