1) Doesn't really mean all that much to me, to be honest. I mean, I've been alone practically my whole life, so it's not really somethin' to cry about. I'm used to it by now-- kinda didn't have a choice, y'know? So no, it doesn't bother me. Nope. Not at all. Next question.
2) Family is... huh. Askin' the hard questions already, I see. I gotta tell you, I feel like I'm filling out that stupid questionnaire at the tail end of those applications. You know, those true/false things that say like "I work harder than most people I know" or "I have trouble making friends" or some stupid malarkey like that. Uh... I dunno, a hot wife and a dog, I guess? No kids, though-- kids kinda freak me out. I guess just having someone I can come home to, y'know? Gets kind of lonely when you're all by yourself for that long.
Wait. Shit. Can we edit that out?
3) Wherever I'm not getting shot at, I guess? I mean, don't get me wrong-- the excitement's fantastic and the adrenaline rush is the only way to fly, but... I dunno, sometimes it's nice to just come home and unwind for a little. Have a few drinks, count my huge piles of money, that kind of thing. I don't really put down roots anywhere for long periods of time, though. Too risky.
4) Sheesh! Who the hell came up with these questions, Barbara Walters? I'm not really big on the whole "sorry" thing. My line of work, you do a hell of a lot of things most people would be sorry for. And if you let that get to you, you have a lot more trouble doing your job, y'know?
I remember this one time, though, back where I lived before... I hurt this kid. Like, emotionally. Really crushed him. He needed me and I wasn't there, for whatever reason. And he came to me afterwards, wanting to know why, I guess. Why I wasn't there for him. And-- this is really weird, because I hardly ever have this sort of knee-jerk reaction-- all I wanted to do was apologize for being such an ass. Make it up to him somehow. To be honest I still have no idea where that came from, because usually I don't give a shit about what anyone thinks of me, but... it was different with him. I felt guilty. Like I screwed up big time. And all I really wanted to do was... I dunno. Make it right again, I guess. Make it so we could be friends again.
Can we move on or something? I'm kinda done with this question.
5) I'm guessing by "heart" you mean a sort of... gut instinct, right? 'Cause the way you worded that seemed really hokey. Anyway, I mostly go against whatever my gut tells me. Whenever it says "this is stupid and you could get killed", I'm thinkin' "this is a great idea and it'll be totally awesome". I mean granted, sometimes it turns out to be a terrible idea after all, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? And really, it's not like I'll die from anything that happens anyway.
Izzat it? Are we done? Thank God-- I think my ass fell asleep in this goddamn chair.
