If you had to marry Adriel, rate your exciting level from a range of 10-10, 10 being emphatic, overjoyed, ecstatic, etc. Hahahaha wait, I just answered the question. I hate when I do that.
If I had to marry Adriel, my excitement level would probably be -10, because I’d always hoped my future husband would be sexually attracted to me, instead of other men. :P
(You asked for this :P …. <4!)

Is your family rich?
As I’ve heard someone once say before: we have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs and food to eat, which automatically makes us richer than 95% of the world. Sad but true. Rich? It depends on your definition of rich and who you’re comparing us to. Richly blessed? Well, we have each other, we love each other and our needs are provided for, so I’d say definitely - which, in my opinion, is greater than any materialistic thing the world could ever give us. :)

What is… your favourite instrument?
Probably the piano, although the violin is a close second. I love both in classical music.

I think you are extremely beautiful/gorgeous and a wonderfully elegant yet dynamic speaker? Do you consider yourself any of these things?
Why thank you! I can’t say I have, although I’m curious as to how you came to the conclusion that I am a “wonderfully elegant yet dynamic speaker”, considering that I have very rarely done any public speaking. :P … Either way though, I appreciate the kind words. :)

Do you have any tips on managing one’s school, social, and business life?
Not going lie: I am probably the least qualified person on the planet to answer this question, seeing as I took two years off of highschool to start my own business and then a year off from my business to finish highschool + my first year of post-secondary. You can ask my friends about the social part (if they begin to suspect i’ve died in my room and nobody has found my body yet, they know I’m getting stuff done).
But, if I could give you all the tips that worked whenever I actually followed them, this is what I’d say:
If you are self-employed and work from home, SET BOUNDARIES. Don’t bring your work to bed with you. Don’t work weird hours and wake up at 12pm. Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier CHANGED MY LIFE. (Granted, I still struggle with this, but I am a lot more consistent now than I ever have been before with this) … If you’re used to getting up late, going to bed an hour earlier and getting up an hour or two earlier in the morning can make a huge difference.
Whenever possible (and within reason), try to go with your natural rhythm. Some days you may feel more like studying than you do working or being creative. Some days you won’t feel social, or other days you’ll be just itching to get out. You can’t always go with your natural rhythm of course, but I’ve found that it is extremely helpful (and far more productive, especially when it comes to things that rely on inspiration and creativity) to go with your natural rhythm whenever possible.
Get a planner and make it your lifeline. Write everything down. Plan everything out. Look at it every day. Know your deadlines. Co-ordinate your school life with your work life and your social life so they don’t end up clashing somewhere down the road.
Prioritize during crunch time, and give each area of your life (school, social, business) equal standing the rest of the time. Unless you’re facing a major deadline or exam season, your social health is just as important as your business and your education. It’s really tempting to disregard that one (at least it was for me), but you will eventually go crackers (and lose WAY more time off from school and work) if you don’t give your social life the attention it deserves.
There’s more, probably, but those are ones I can think of off the top of my head right now. Hope that helps! :)

I see that you have answered 30 questions, are there any questions that you ignore or have ignored in the past?
I’m just now getting around to answering questions that were asked 6 months ago. Even though I’ve gotten some really weird ones, as long as they aren’t blatantly inappropriate, i’ll give them some answer. For the rest of them, I’ve just put off answering them for whatever reason. The main one being, I think, because I like to give each question a legitimate, thoughtful answer. Some people might find that silly and a waste of time, seeing as all these questions are asked anonymously by god knows who, but I figure I should give even the weirdest ones the benefit of the doubt. That’s just me.

What is your true, honest opinion of homosexuality? Could you ever fall in love with a woman? If your best friend came out of the closet, would your relationship with him or her change?
I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific! My opinion of homosexuality in the context of what? I don’t see them as some sort of odd division of humanity or this group of people destined to burn in hell, if that’s what you’re asking. In fact, I’m far less inclined to “see” people by the labels they may attach to themselves, like a race, nationality, sexual preference, etc. - I’d much rather see people for what they’re like on the inside. That is, after all, the only thing that counts.
So could I ever fall in love with a woman? Honestly, no. I’m not sexually attracted to females. I’m not emotionally attracted to feminine qualities. I can love members of my same sex - and do - but not in a sexual way. I am definitely attracted to manly men, *because* of the way they are physically, mentally and emotionally.
As for the best friend thing… well, its not as simple as that. For one, as a best friend, they wouldn’t need to come out of the closet; I would know. If you’re truly “best friends” with someone, you should know these things about the person, even if they don’t tell you - and if they don’t tell you, you’d have to wonder why (best friends, at least in my opinion, should be able to tell each other anything).
Would our relationship change? I am so tempted to say “of course not!!!” but its again, not as simple as that. Relationships are not static. They’re always moving, changing, evolving - and just like change in human beings doesn’t happen overnight, neither does change in relationships. At any given time in your life you are moving closer to some people and drifting further away from others. If I already “knew” (without actually knowing for a fact) that my best friend were gay, them telling me would probably not change anything - however, the fact that they didn’t feel comfortable enough to mention their attraction for the same sex at any prior point in our relationship might. (Again, your definition of best friend might be different, though.)
I suspect maybe your question is more directed towards change as in “would you be weirded out? stop being friends?” etc - and again, coming out doesn’t change a thing. If I were going to be weirded out, it would happen far before they “came out”. Nobody is a good enough actor to hide everything, especially from their best friend. As for whether we’d still be friends - think of Ricky Martin. The whole world and several neighboring planets knew he was gay BEFORE he announced it. If you were a huge fan of his before his announcement, chances are you’re still a huge fan after it. When it comes to my friendships at least, sexual orientation is not what counts; its who you are as a person.

Would you view yourself as someone who is approachable and friendly to everyone?
I think so. So long as I haven’t reached my social threshold for that day, I’m usually quite outgoing and “bubbly”, especially when first meeting people. I think it’s part of the lone wolf personality - you tend to appreciate people more when you come in contact with them. :)
