Not since I was a teenager.
Have you ever been up in the mountains (over 5000 feet)?

That I actually use? 3 (well one is a ski forum so I haven't touched that since Feb but probably will again come October). I have a lot more accounts that I used for like a week then logged out and never logged back in again though.
What are you most proud of?

The Pedestrian by Bradbury I was heavy into sci fi in high school. Actually anything by the ABCs of sci fi and Heinlein.
What was your favorite book ever?

I'd say a fair amount. I'm still shy although I'm also able to be assertive now. I enjoy many of the same things. I'm a lot happier. I do better because I'm on meds I desperately needed by my teens if not before.
What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be Indiana Jones for a while. Daring adventurer visiting foreign lands while learning about the world? What's not to love? At least for me!
Have you ever taken something apart to see how it works?

I’m familiar with the C++ as my cousin who was rooming with me while going to the university was learning that one. But I’m not able to program anything.
What do you think makes someone a “good” person?

I think a "good" person is one who has the ability to empathize with other beings...animals, people, all living things.
In which city in the United States would you like to spend a week?

I wouldn't mind going back to Portland OR. It's the only city I've been to that didn't smell like a city. Also, having the city block sized bookstore that is Powell's in the city limits doesn't hurt either!
In what world city would you want to spend a week?

Powell's is amazing @Aurelius710! If you ever go to San Francisco be sure to check out City Lights bookstore. All the levels, all the rooms. You will want to live there.
I spent a week in Dublin @BeyondtheRainbow. I loved, loved it. I could live there. Oh, the cool and misty. And green. Yes.

Evening because it tends to be quieter and more peaceful. I'm not either fighting to sleep or fighting to stay awake at that time. There's no pressure to sleep or usually to do anything social if I don't want to.
Do you ever fight sleep because you fear your dreams?

I very seldom have severe nightmares. The worst dreams I have (maybe once a month) are the ones in which I dream I'm urinating in the toilet. Upon waking in the morning, I find that's not where I was urinating.
 Does this ever happen to anyone else?What is your greatest fear? Describe it, if it's not too disturbing. |

Becoming homeless again. It’s a young persons game.
What is your favorite sleeping position?

The one where I'm unconscious.
  If I'm honest though, on my back with a pillow over my eyes works beautifully! This requires a bit of explanation, but have you ever been in a functional sensory deprivation chamber? I had an apartment in college where when you went to bed, there was no light coming from outside, courtesy of a very good curtain, the bedroom door let no light in from the rest of the apartment and unless people were screaming or the central air was on, no sound entered the room. It got trippy! Anybody ever find themselves in a location like that?

Not quite, but the house we've been renting has windows and walls that do block out most sound other than the very loud bus that passes by intermittently, as we're on a bus line. I don't mind absolute quiet. A lot better than TV or music in the background. The noises I do fall asleep beautifully to are summer/meadow insects and heavy rains with thunder. What sounds, smells, or physical sensations are most relaxing or mood uplifting for you?

One of the most pleasant to me smells is ozone after a summer storm. Otherwise my lavender essential oil with bergamot.
If you could only save one material thing from a fire what would it be?

On second thought, maybe I'd have to resort to taking my stinking meds. What is a comfort that you'd struggle to live without?
