My Friends Survey

I found this survey that I originally took way back on March 27, 2014. And after reading it, I decided to change the names and take it again, almost 11 years later. So, here you go. My friends and how well I know them. It’s survey time. Enjoy!
And so it begins…
Can you name 20 people you can think of right off the top of your head? Don’t read the questions underneath until you write the names of all 20 people, and be sure to tag the person who tagged you after completing it yourself. This is a lot funnier if you actually list the names first, no cheating!*

T H E Q U E S T I O N S…
How did you meet 10?
We were coworkers at the liquor store.
What would you do if you had never met 6?
I would have missed out on a lifetime of adventure, drama, shenanigans, and stories.
What would you do if 20 and 15 dated?
I don’t see this happening. Both are men, very straight, and I think their personalities would clash quite a bit. It wouldn’t be good.
If you could marry either 6 or 14 who will it be?
Both are incredibly sexy men, but I don’t think either relationship would work out so far as marriage goes. But given a choice, I’d marry #14. Me & #6 have already been roommates at one point and although I love him to death, and always will, we couldn’t live together.
Did you ever like 9?
I did and still do. He’s sexy, smart, has a great personality, and is a person I have a great deal of respect for. I had a major crush on him back in our younger days, and if he was single, I’d probably still be crushing pretty hard. He’s an amazing dude.
Would 4 and 12 make a good couple?
No, I don’t think they would. For one, they’re both married to wonderful other people, so that would be a problem. And while they could probably get along fine, I could see a few personality traits in each that would end up clashing.
Have you ever seen 4 cry?
Yes, I have.
Would numbers 1 and 2 make a good couple?
These two men are both great guys and mean the world to me. They actually were friends in school, so they would get along well, but as a couple. No. One is very straight, and the other is my future husband. He just doesn’t realize it yet.
Describe 8:
A guy with no redeeming qualities except for sex. He’s a liar, a thief, and an absolute POS. But damn, he’s cute. Well, he used to be. Not so much anymore.
Last time you saw 12?
Far too long ago. I need to go visit the family. She’s an incredible sister-in-law and my bro is blessed to have her in his life.
Tell me something about 17:
Smart, funny, cute, and the very picture of creativity. There is nothing this guy can’t do. Great personality, is loyal to a fault, and has a beautiful daughter. An absolute blessing to know.
What’s 7’s favorite color?
I’m not sure, but I’m thinking Carolina blue. He’s a Clemson fan, but every time I see him, he’s wearing blue.
What would you do if 1 just confessed they liked you?
Be the happiest guy in the world and pull him in for a long hug. He’s not happy with me right now, but I hope he doesn’t hate me.
When was the last time you talked to number 5?
It’s been a few weeks, but we have exchanged likes on Facebook. She’s so damn awesome. I think we need to have lunch or something soon.
How do you think 19 feels about you?
At one time, we were very close friends. Now, we speak if we see each other, but aside from that, life has taken us in different directions. I think he still thinks well of me, but we’re not in the same circles anymore.
What language does 13 speak?
He speaks English, but knowing how smart that young man is, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s speaking several others that I just haven’t witnessed as of yet.
Who is 2 going out with?
He has an incredible, beautiful, and awesome wife. What more would he need?
What grade is 8 in?
He’s not in school anymore, unless he’s breaking in and trying to steal something.
What is 5’s favorite music?
Back in the day, it used to be Paul McCartney and Phil Collins. I’m not sure who it would be now, but I’m sure it’s excellent. She has always had great taste in music.
Would you ever date 3?
No, I don’t think so. He’s a great guy and yeah, he’s a sexy beast, but he’s straight, married to a woman I have much respect for, and a friend. I’d rather have a good friend than a quick fling that I know would never amount to anything.
Is 11 single?
At the moment, I believe he is. It’s a shame too because he’s a great guy. He works too damn much though. He’s going to make some lady very happy one day.
What’s 10’s last name?
Oliveras.
Where does 18 live?
Over in East Laurinburg.
What do you think about 20?
A guy I’ve known for a long time. He has his demons, but he also has the biggest heart and will do anything for anyone. Proud to call him a friend.
What is the best thing about 4?
He’s smart, has a great family, and a big heart, and I can honestly say he’s the best boss I’ve ever had.
What would you like to tell 16 right now?
Congratulations on meeting The Hulkster. I’m proud of you, dude. A beautiful wife, a great life, and a man I’ve got lots of love and respect for. Thank you for your role in my life.
How did you meet 9?
I’m not sure. Mutual friends and hanging around uptown many, many years ago.
What is the best and worst thing about 2?
The best? He’s a great father. No one can ever dispute that. The kids will always come first. He’s an incredible friend and brother as well. And the worst? He’s very overprotective when it comes to those he cares for, be it his wife, kids, other family members, or friends. So far as worst things go, that’s not too bad, but it can be a little annoying at times. I wouldn’t want him to ever change though.
And that’s it. Thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and questions are welcome and appreciated. And if you’re one of my friends mentioned in the survey, contact me, and let’s get together. Old friends are the best. Well, that’s all for now. I’ll catch you later.
