DO...
:x: you believe in online dating = I'm sure it exists. I haven't had much luck with it myself. For me it works better to become aware of someone online but not date until we actually meet.
:x: others find you attractive = Some seem to, others don't.
:x: you want more piercings = No, three ear piercings is enough.
:x: you drink = A tiny bit
:x: you do drugs = Only prescription drugs and caffeine for the last many years
:x: you smoke = Last time was about 15 years ago
FOR OR AGAINST...
:x: long distance relationships = I'm not very good at them.
:x: using someone = Depends whether they consent
:x: killing people = I hope I never have to. I think in rare cases it's the best option.

HAVE YOU...
:x: ever cried over a guy/girl = Of course
:x: ever lied to someone = Of course
:x: ever been arrested = No
NUMBER...
:x: of times you have been in love? = Gaah, when I start trying to enumerate that, my mind reels, because I'm aware of so many different ways of being in love with someone.
:x: of times you have had your heart broken? = Hm. Twice?
:x: of hearts you have broken? = Don't know. I've broken up with people, but I have no idea whether their hearts were broken over it.
:x: of drugs taken illegally? = Around 10, I guess
:x: of people you would classify as true friends, that you could trust with your life = That isn't my usual way of classifying friends, especially because I don't do absolute trust, so I'm thinking "trust to do what with my life, in what circumstances?" There are three people in my life in whom I've placed a great deal of trust and haven't been disappointed. There are several other people I think would be trustworthy in crisis situations.
:x: of people you consider your enemies? = There are a few people I heartily dislike, but I don't think any of them qualifies as an enemy, in the sense that we're actively working to undermine each other.
:x: of things in your past that you regret? = Something like two. There are a lot of things I wouldn't do the same way if I had them to do over, but that isn't the same as regretting them. I don't do regret much, because I generally feel that I have done the best I could with the knowledge and circumstances I had. But I do regret causing a particular person great pain.
