basics
What do you look for in a friend? Honesty and loyalty are crucial. Outgoingness, at least a little charisma, protectiveness, flexibility and a sense of humor are all really cool, too! C:
What would you do if a friend betrayed you? It depends on the circumstances. I can get over most things pretty easily, but for the sake of the question, I'll assume we're talking about something really bad. At first I probably wouldn't believe that my friend had done something like that, and just assume that whatever happened was my fault. After thinking about it for a while, I'd probably get really mad about it, and then cry for a couple of hours, wishing it had never happened. I'm not really brave enough to approach someone about how they've hurt me, so I'd probably avoid them for a while... but given enough time, once I can understand their side of it, I can learn to forgive them and move on. Also, if they ever apologized... I'd want things to go back to the way they were, if they could. They'd have to gain my trust again, of course... but I thinkI'd be willing to move forward together again.
Mention one friend you'll never forget, and why: Um, I usually mention my bff, Jessie, but lately my little brother, Michael, has really been a good friend to me. We can have fun doing just about anything, whether we're playing video games, working out together, doing chores or just driving around. He's really got a good heart... he always talks sense into me when I'm doing something dumb, in a way that's honest and blunt, but somehow really loving and gentle, too. He really watches out for me, but not in a burdening way, and I now know, absolutely, that if I ever need help, I can go to him.
Can you stand having a rivalry with your best friend?: If it's just for fun and not really taken seriously, then sure. C: I can take and dish out some teasing, like, "Bro, I am totally kicking your ass right now. Better catch up!" But like, it's never very serious. 8D Playful rivalry, sure, but not a serious one. :D
Would you prefer to look out for your friend or have your friend look out for you: We should both look out for each other, in our own ways! Like, I'm not very good with words, but if a friend needs me, I will totally be there to listen, keep them company, distract them, help them with cooking/chores, give them a hug, whatever I can do. A lot of my close friends watch out for me, too, because I tend to be forgetful, clumsy, overly trusting, and easily hurt. They all help me in different ways, but seriously, friends should totally look out for each other. It shouldn't be just one person always giving.
Is there a Tales character you feel like you'd never be able to get along with? You're allowed two: Uh... Rita, because of her uncaring, violent attitude, and Presea, because she dwells on her sadness and loneliness, instead of trying to move forward. I know they both have their reasons, and I could put up with it if I met them, but I can't see myself being best friends with them. ^^;;
choices
in your best friend
Leader or Follower? Uh... It doesn't really matter? Ideally, someone who's independent and can make their own decisions, but is also flexible enough to just go with the flow.
Listener or Speaker? Yeah, there needs to be balance here. I don't wanna do all the talking, but I don't want to regularly just be sitting there listening, either. I wanna have a conversation! |D Pointless, light-hearted banter, even.
Persistent or Weak-willed? It doesn't matter to me, as long as they're not extremely one way or the other. (Like super wishy-washy or think that their opinion is always THE right opinion.)
Pessimistic or Optimistic? Realistic! I'm pretty optimistic already, so I need someone to keep me grounded. But a really pessimistic person just brings me down. D:
Patient or Impatient? Patience is pretty important to me. I'm pretty easy-going myself, so I don't understand when, for example, people start yelling about how everyone in front of them is driving slow, even though they don't have to be anywhere in a hurry. Let's just go with the flow and enjoy the ride. o^o
Common Sense or Book Smart? Common sense is a must! xD Book smarts aren't necessary, but it'd be cool if they had 'em, because Lord knows I could always use more. |D Actually, yeah, it'd be awesome if they had them and could teach me stuff! *SHOT*
Business or Pleasure? Both! We should be able to have fun and enjoy each other's company no matter what we're doing! Studying, goofing off, playing a game, or going to save the world from a pretty angel boy - it shouldn't matter! Just being together should make it enjoyable.
Alone or With a Group? Either way, man. :D
Serious or Mischievous? Mischievous most of the time, but serious when they need to be. I like playful banter and stupid, kind of sarcastic jokes, and I can totally be amused by something silly like ditching class and going to a playground to play on the monkey bars. But they should understand when I'm actually feeling bad or stressed, and be able to adjust, and also realize when something's important.
Going out or Staying indoors? I can go either way, and I definitely need a balance of both. If I stay in too much, I get really bored and go insane, but if I'm out too much, I'll get super tired and will be pretty useless. 8D;;
Partying all night or quiet evening with someone? Same answer as above - a balance is best! They should be outgoing and energetic enough that they enjoy partying all night, but we can't do that EVERY night, you know? Quiet evenings are totally fun, too. C:
as a friend
Do you prefer your friends to be like you or different? Well, I like some things in common, like an easygoing personality, same sense of humor and similar interests, but if we're too similar we'll get bored of each other.
Do you usually wait to know what a favor is to agree to help, or do you say yes right away? ...Usually I ask what it is first, just by habit.
When asked for advice, do you say what they want to hear or what you know they should hear? *sigh* I wish I could say that I'd tell them what they should hear, but in all honesty, I usually just hint at it and try to comfort them instead. I've had some problems in the past, where friends have gotten upset and abandoned me when I told them my honest opinion. (She even asked for my opinion in the first place, so...) Now... I'm afraid. I always second guess myself and wonder if I should even be giving advice. After all, I'm still pretty young and haven't experienced a lot. My advice could easily be misguided... There are only a very few people who I feel I can be completely honest with, but I want to work on it. I want to learn to be less selfish; to put honesty towards my friends before my fears of being hated or abandoned.
Your friend tells you she/he is about to do something that you think is stupid or simply suicidal. What do you do? It depends on how close we are, because of the reasons above. If it's just stupid but wouldn't be harmful to them, I'd probably just laugh it off and be like, "All right, just don't get hurt, OK?" But if it's dangerous to them or someone else, I won't hesitate to speak up and, if necessary, try to stop them.
Are secrets kept safe with you? Yes, absolutely! I mean, there are a few situations I can think of where I'd have to tell someone else for my friend's or someone else's safety, but even then, I'd do everything I could to take care of the situation without letting out the secret. I would never want to do anything to break that kind of trust.

Any suggestions? It'd be helpful if there was an lj-cut in the code! C:
Do you have any problems with the questions? Nope! They're good! :D
Anything else?
