Discuss an epiphany you've had in your life.
The only epiphany that comes to mind right away is one about my parents. Whenever you're a little kid, your parents could do anything, and were like superheroes. Dad could be a treehouse, Mom could summon pizza in like two seconds, it was awesome. But as I've gotten older, so have they, and so have their ways and mannerisms. I eventually get to the point that I'm sick of the sound of my Mom's voice after I've been at her house for a week. My Dad gets completely controlling and critical, even though it's mainly coming from my stepmom, after a bit too long. I guess, between the resentment of my parents' divorce and simply getting tired of the annoying things they always do, I've come to realize that my parents are just regular people. That doesn't make me love 'em any less, 'cause they're my parents, the best ones in the whole world. They're just not superheroes anymore.

Describe your perfect/ultimate/ideal adventure.
This is pretty lame, but when I think of adventure, it's in more of a fantastical, fictional sense. I would definitely be a superhero, with some freakin' awesome power(s), and would be on some cool quest to try and save some important artifact or figure. I would want a handful of superhero allies (aka my friends) to take on this adventure with me, though, because I'm DEFINITELY not a loner. Being all sheltered and unexposed, I wouldn't want to live/stay in extremely harsh conditions, but I'd definitely want to explore new places, meet new people, and grow more as a person. If my hypothetical superpowers grew in power, that would be cool, too haha but it'd be more about the journey. Talk about memories!

Descuss a time when you felt forced to do something as a result of blackmail or threats.
Hmm... if I actually think about it, I haven't really been blackmailed or threatened much. I do remember one birthday party, though. I didn't want to invite a couple of my cousins to my party, because back then they were being big jerks, but my Mom threatened to take away any of the presents I'd get if I didn't invite them. So I told 'em to come on over, and they made a mess of things. It wasn't all that bad, but I definitely enjoyed the rest of my friends company much more than usual. Apart from that, you don't get threatened if you don't make a lot of pointless enemies, or put yourself in any unfavorable situations.
