TKO Questions/Responses

TKO #1: "You have great lingerie but you also have cotton underwear that's been washed a thousand times and its hanging on the thing and ... and they have it too just I don't have to see it because it's not the fantasy ... do you understand? I'm tired of the fantasy because it doesn't really exist and there are never really any surprises and it never really...delivers." - High Fidelity

What things besides wearing cotton underwear would a lover living with you have to learn to live with?

TKO #2: "There's an old joke. Uh, two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly." -- Annie Hall

Disagree. Life isn't full of misery and suffering. It's beautiful and worth living -- why?

TKO #3: "Arwen: You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself.
Aragorn: The same blood flows in my veins; the same weakness."

Although our family does a lot for us, some of what they do is providing examples of what not to do. What mistakes of your parents, grandparents, or other elders do you want to avoid?

TKO #4: "You know the difference between Republicans and Democrats? Republicans want a huge army and don't want to sent it anywhere. Democrats want a small army and want to send it everywhere." -- The West Wing

TKO #5: According to legend, everyone walked around naked until Eve started consorting with a serpent who was, depending on who you ask, either Satan or just a reptile with an attitude. Since then, nakedness in public has decreased, at least a little.

Detail the most naked you have been in a public place.

TKO Question #7: Jim Olmeyer: Do you just want to lose weight, or are you looking to increase strength and flexibility as well?
Lester Burnham: I want to look good naked! -- American Beauty

There's a shallow edge to everyone. We're all friends here, so fess up. What are your guilty turnoffs? That is things you find unattractive in a potential partner that's a dealbreaker.

TKO Question #8:
Shrek: Well it's no wonder you don't have any friends.
The Donkey: Wow, only a true friend would be that truly honest. -- Shrek

Only a true friend would be truly honest? Have you ever been forced to decide between being honest and being a good friend? (Were you ever forced to lie to a friend?) Which did you choose? Why? Do you regret it?

TKO #12: "Fear not for the future, weep not for the past." -- Percy Bysshe Shelley

This advice is a lot easier than it sounds. Detail when you've violated both of these principles (not neccessarily at the same time).
