1. ...been given flowers?
I have occasionally been given flowers, although never in a romantic sense. It is always very awkward because they are often real flowers which wilt and die messily and make people hayfevery, and in any case they clutter up the place.

2. ...been cheated on?
I do not think so, although the nature of the thing is that you wouldn't necessarily know.

3. ... cheated on your significant other?
No. (I feel I ought to clarify this as 'not physically', on account of having lustful thoughts.)

4. ...been so drunk you couldn't remember anything by the next day?
No. I have rarely, if ever, been drunk. (There are about three occasions on which I may have been drunk; two of these have been Maelstrom events and one of them I was intentionally trying to get drunk on some rather nice port. I was kind of tired and hyper already all three times so it was hard to tell if I was drunk or not.)

5. ...kissed someone of the same sex?
Yes. (Then I bit her tongue. On purpose. Also, I am a lousy kisser and don't generally enjoy kissing much.)

6. ...been expelled from school/sacked from a job?
No. I am still convinced that I will be sacked from my job as soon as people realise how easy what I'm doing is and how they shouldn't be paying me anywhere near as much as they do for it.

7. ...purposefully killed something?
Yes, but nothing more than insects and plants.

8. ...been arrested?
No, and I would like to point out that I was in the back of the police car with KT and we were locked in.

9. ...had a crush on a teacher?
Oh yes. (One male and one female, in fact.)

10. ...been offered a present you didn't feel you could accept?
I do not recall ever actually refusing a present, although there have been quite a few I haven't wanted (and have quitely thrown out / palmed off on someone else) and quite a few where I've had that sinking "does that mean I should feel guilty for not getting you anything" feeling. I am quite appaling at giving presents, though, and generally don't, but I have given up on feeling guilty about recieving them and will say "thank you" and try to avoid feeling obligated.

11. ...hated someone so much you seriously wished them dead?
I have never seriously wished anyone dead through hatred. I don't really hate people. Want them to be somewhere I'm not, yes. Want them to stop doing the stupid/annoying/evil things they are doing, yes. Hate, no. I have occasionally considered whether it would be a good thing were someone to die suddenly, and have probably occasionally concluded that it might be for the best, but would never implement this as that's God's job.

12. ...taken illegal drugs?
There was the small incident with the herbs and the hot chocolate. It reduced my maximum sentance length and made me want CAKE, NOW. Apparently it was enough to stone a large horse and my resilience to the stuff is legendary.

13. ...had bad luck on Friday 13th?
I remember once or twice noting the date as one of these when suffering particularly bad luck, mostly as a matter of irony.

14. ...won anything on the lottery?
I once won a stuffed toy in a raffle. This is notable for being the only time I can remember winning anything in any form of gambling. I do not partake in gambling when I can avoid it.

15. ...had something you've written published?
The school magazine butchered one of my poems and printed mostly intact but with wildly unsuitible illustrations one of my short stories.

16. ...had a dream in which you were speaking a different language?
I cannot clearly remember one offhand, but suspect there have been dreams in which I have been speaking some variety of Made-Up. I am not sufficiently fluent in any other language to dream in an actual other language.

17. ...cried over the death of a pet?
No. I have been amused by the death of pets, though, especially Mash, who was mashed by a lorry.

18. ...regretted not being able to say goodbye?
No. This might change if someone particularly close to me that I might have been expected to say goodbye to dies, but I doubt it. One of the features of me is that I move on quite easily.

19. ...mistaken someone for someone else?
I have said hello to people in the street only to get very odd looks, from time to time. At Maelstrom I mistook one of the White Lion's ladies for the lady who initiated my character, on account of them both being females with shortish blonde hair and blue eyes (otherwise they looked nothing alike).

20. ...called someone the wrong name in bed?
I expect I have in my sleep, on account of saying all kinds of things in my sleep. I have never called a name at an appropriate moment as expected by this question. (Amongst other things, that would require my speech centres to be functioning a lot more than they normally are.)
