The Application
*Basics*
Name:Ruth
Age:19
Sexual Preference: Straight
Where you live: Eugene OR
*Favorites*
Movie: Blazing Saddles and Moulin Rouge are my top two, but favorites are difficult for me, I can never pick.
Book: LOTR~ Tolkien, Sophie's World~ Jostein Gaarder, Harry Potter~Rowling, Pride and Prejudice~Austen, In Cold Blood~Capote.
Band/Artists/Music Group: Ella Fitzgerald, Dispatch, Barenaked Ladies, Alkaline Trio, I have rather random tastes...
Author: Well, I normally do not read a book because of the author, I don't really follow any particular authors, but the author of whom I've read and enjoyed the most books is probably Marion Zimmer Bradley.
*Opinion Questions (these answers had better be more than 3 sentences)*
~What is your stand on abortion? I do not feel that it is a good thing to do. There is almost always a better decision, but my reasons for maintaining that opinion are religious and moral. Therefore I have no right to tell anyone else that they can or cannot have an abortion. It is a woman's right, and she must make that decision on her own.
~Given the opportunity, would you choose the gender of your un-born child? No, I don't think I would. I feel very strongly that everyone happens for a purpose and a reason. My choosing my child's gender is like playing God. I would love and cherish any child I had, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
~How do you feel about same sex relationships? Love is love. I have seen many same sex relationships that are wonderful and loving, and many hetero relationships that were unloving, sour, or abusive. A relationship is what you make of it, not who is part of it.
~What do you think could be done to help lessen the amount of people in poverty in the U.S.? Move our domestic policy more towards the socialist side of the spectrum. As Americans, we have aresponsibility to take care of our own. A country will not be great if it's people are suffering. Health care, food, basic shelter, education, these thing should all be available free of charge. Of course such a change in policy would require an increase in taxes ( a burden to be shoulder by the highest income bracket, if you ask me) and a decrease in spending in another area of the government. Again, if you ask me, we should spend less on our military, perhaps even our spending out a bit.
*Randoms*
~If you could switch lives with a celebrity for a week, who would it be and why? Mr. George W. Bush. But then, I wouldn't give him his life back after a week. I would choose him because I feel that I could make some better decisions then he has. Also, it would be facinating to see the inner workings of our government, to know how it really works. And having that much power would also be wonderfully exilerating.
~What do you think happens after death? Our bodies rot and our souls either go to heaven or oblivion. I am a Christain, so I feel that you must believe that Jesus is the savior, and he was sent by God to redeem us in order to go to heaven(ps I think this includes all branches of Christianity; catholicism, mormonism etc.). However, I don't think there is some fiery plave in the center of earth where pagan souls will be poked by devils. Non-believer souls either cease to exist(the worst punishment, if you ask me) or are damned to a hellish place we call earth for another lifetime.
~How much money do you need to have a happy life? Enough to pay my rent, and bills, buy some food, have internet access, and have a little fun on the side. In Eugene, right now, that ends up being about $800 a month .
~Do you have any phobias? no. I am afraid of very little. The only things I truly fear are failure, and being utterly alone (which incidently I view as a faliure).
*Because I’m Curious*
~Where did you find out about this community?
some random person (probably applying)left it in my journal. changemyway
~Do you have confidence in yourself? yes, I know that I can do anything I put my mind to, and I will suceed. Although sometimes, I fear it is too much for my own good. I have never not been able to do something, so I keep stretching myself, and increasing my goals. Eventually I'm going to go out on a limb, and the limb is going to break.
~Do you believe you’re a good candidate for this community? yes, of course, otherwise I wouldn't be applying. I am smart, intelligent and adorable :) what more can I say?
~Where did you promote us to? (3 LJ users, show links here)
