This is a difficult question because I'm not sure if I should answer what I want to be a dealbreaker and what, in reality, would be a dealbreaker. I hate lies yet I put up with them to a certain extent, depending on the circumstance. With one person I should have cut him off as soon as I found out he was lying. I guess the realistic dealbreaker with me would be violence or threats of violence. That sounds like I'm setting my expectations fairly low...

Well, for comfort I would choose:
1. The Forbidden Game trilogy book by L.J. Smith
2. Black Thorn, White Rose edited by Widling
3. His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman
4. The Prydain Chronicles books by Lloyd Alexander
5. The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike

Edit** Might switch 5 for Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Edit** And switch 2 for "A Wrinkle in Time"/Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle

Is there anything I can do to make you happier or your life more comfortable? If they asked for unlimited food I would explain why this isn't possible or good for their health. And I would try to accommodate them within reason.

I am an INFJ for the Myers-Briggs (I've read Jung's original works on personality development/typing and INFJ fits me best, according to the order of functions). I am also an Enneagram 4, which I relate to from what I've read, but there's a lot more I can read on it.

I think this differs for every individual and there are different "areas" one might be more of an adult in than in other areas. Some "adults" are incredibly immature and act like small children. Some teenagers are very self-sufficient and sensible. I don't think I was as immature or selfish as some people I know/some teenagers I knew, but in other ways I was very delayed and it would have been silly to call me an adult. This also all depends on what qualities you consider "necessary" for adulthood. A wide range of different qualities or skills could count, but we all have areas of difficulty so even if we are adults and it's generally agreed we should be considered "adults" we might not measure up in all areas.

Unicorn, of course! I've written about what unicorns mean to me in other entries, so I won't repeat myself here. As far as "real" animals, I'd choose rabbit. I'm nervous and observant like them, and tend to run away when people come near. I might have written about them in my journal, too... I've always wanted a pet rabbit.

My favorite word is "ethereal" because it sounds beautiful, like crystals and fragile glass swirling in pastel prismatic shades.

I thought "Bernadette" by the Four Tops (an older song) was called "Burn to Death" until I was about 12 or so. My mother found that quite morbid.

I think I'm an optimist, especially for anything not directly concerning me. I'm very optimistic about other people's lives for instance, and this is probably why I sometimes feel envy (I'm so sure other people will be okay and less sure I will be okay). I can get very optimistic about things in my life, though, too, and I get very disappointed when things don't go as I had hoped. I am prone to extreme depression and feeling helpless then. I try to be a realist about things, but my hopes always seep in. Even when I'm suicidally depressed, I still have that bit of hope that makes things even more painful and causes me to have a hard time "moving on." I'm not good at being a realist and even when I'm depressed I only get pessimistic in the extreme ("I need to die now") as opposed to just thinking a person or a situation is somehow bad. I used to be an extremely optimistic person when I was 18 and basically hypomanic/super happy. I still have wonderful memories of that time... I even have wonderful memories of things I didn't fully appreciate when I was depressed. Despite my bouts of anxiety and depression, I rarely have fully formed thoughts of things going wrong, either. Overall, I tend to be an optimist, for better or for worse.
