“The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live”
For some, it’s cheating death. Others will say sex. Parents may say, spending time with their kids.
So tell me – what makes YOU feel most alive?

This is a really good quote. What makes me come alive? Music, sex, and good food.

Loves these! Keep 'em coming people! For me – I like orgasms too.. and getting my workout on.. a power walk followed by long hot bath. I'm ready for anything after that! Hanging out with my friend's little ones is one of the best ways to light my fire though. I love playing, laughing, and just hanging out with them. You can really learn a lot from yourself while answering questions from a four year old.

Cheating death while having sex is what does it for me.

I've been trying to come up with something that was either deeply moving or witty as hell. I got nuthin, except chocolate chip cookies and a hot bath. Oh, and I love this, "You can really learn a lot from yourself while answering questions from a four year old." I've learned more about who I really am in the last 5 years, than in the 37 before them.
