If you had duct tape, a tree, allergy medicine and a penny, how would you save the world from a giant-monster-like-thing trying to eat it? [you must use all the items]I would hide behind the tree while the monster stood on the other side, then with my ninja-like ways, would duct-tape his feet to the ground. Then I would force him to eat the allergy medicine, which would cause drowsiness. Then he would take the shiny shiny penny in exchange for world peace, because his logic is impaired by his exhaustion. Once our agreement is documented, I will remove the tape from his feet, and then we will go our separate ways, never meeting again.

One thing about anything that you wish you could change:I wish that people would be more open-minded. Acceptance is a really hard thing to ask for, but keeping an open mind isn't nearly as hard. But it still seems like most people can't manage that. Also, fairies should exist.
What are your opinions on politics? I think it's really important to be politically active and not become apathetic. I also think politics should be less personal attacks and focus more on the issues that affect our society and populous.
Make us laugh:Outside our dorm rooms at my school, white boards are built into the walls. So my friend and I write funny things on people-who-don't-know's boards. One time i wrote, "your penis is sufficient ♥ " Then the guy came out when we were down the hall and we had to run away. I felt pretty awful, but it was still awesome.
