Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Honestly I think they both suck. I have never done a drug in my life that wasn't prescribed to me. I think they both can lead to addictions and are not necessary. I think doing any kind of drug that your dr does not prescribe to you, is you asking for a problem and I think those who drink do it to escape from reality. I don't drink. I've never been drunk and don't ever plan on getting drunk. I understand a glass of wine or a drink with dinner or friends. But getting completely wasted and not being able to remember who you are, where you are or remember what you do is the lamest excuse ever. And the people who do it over, and over and over again honestly baffle me. I find no fun in it whatsoever.
Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
I'd run to her side. It doesn't matter if when we fought we kicked eachothers teeth in. A best friend is a best friend and I know she'd do the same for me. I am able to count on two hands the number of people who I could count my best friends and if they needed me I'd be there in a heartbeat. end of story.

Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Day 19
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
I think lots of things about religions. I know for one I don't agree with all of them. But I do know it's not my right to view people that way and to judge them because they were brought up being taught that religion or choose to follow it. I don't follow a religion per say even though I would call myself Catholic. I believe and pray to god often but somethings I still am not sure on what I believe.
Politics. Ugh. I hate politics. I wish we could scratch how it all works and start over. I think the founding fathers would be ashamed with how our gov't is run right now and I wish more people would learn from their mistakes instead of making the same mistakes over and over again. I also wish politicians... men and women would keep their legs closed and stop sleeping around, lying, cheating and trying to be someone their not to get into office. It's honestly just getting old all the headlines in the news.

Day 17 & 18
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
The Five Love Languages. Anyone who has read this book knows why and I think everyone should read it. While they are in High School, College, Before Marriage, After Marriage and everywhere in between. You're life changes and so does your love language with the different changes in your life and I know mine has, so has Brian's. So read it, it will bring light to not only your love relationship, but others around you!
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
Some people will disagree on this and I'm fine with that. I'm catholic, was raised Roman Catholic in a great church and I truly honestly believe that Marriage is between one man and one woman. I don't believe that gays should not have the right to be together and be treated the same way as a man and woman who are married but I do not think it should be called Marriage. Why do they want to have it be called "marriage" anyways? I don't understand what the difference between civil union and marriage is in their eyes. They know in the Bible it states Marriage is between a man and a woman and they know it's different for them. In the eyes of the goverment it's a civil union, a piece of paper, different tax deductions and better healthcare options. Some people may believe I'm really a one sided person but I understand they want to be in a union. My grey area is why can't they leave it as that and leave the word "marriage" out of it.

Day 16
Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
I know what I could live without.... people who lie. I hate people who lie. Whether they do it to try to be nice about it, there is no such thing as a good lie and defintely not if you are not good at it. It always comes back to bite you in the butt, so why do it? Ugh, I wish for one day everyone couldn't lie and could actually say what they mean.

Day 15
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
I don't know if I could live without my phone. I hate to admit it but I love the thing. When I didn't have a phone for a day I hated it. I can live without it, I knwo I could. But that doesn't mean I want to!
