When we all get together

Is food at the center of most of your social activities?

Things you create (3)

What do you help create in the social world?  What events do you help plan and stage?  What clubs, organizations, and social activities are richer because of your imagination and your active support?

Your favorite things (5)

What is one "hidden treasure" that you are publicly enthusiastic about — for example, a favorite restaurant or novelist that most people haven't heard about? 

Your favorite things (3)

What is your favorite fun thing to do when going out by yourself?  And what's your favorite way to have fun with a group of friends? 

Big screen debut

What was the first movie that you ever saw — or the earliest one that you can remember seeing?

Memories and associations (5)

In your memories, what song is inextricably tied to a particular group of people or an activity that you participated in years ago? 

Out of the comfort zone (4)

Of all the people in your life, who most often gets you to try challenging new things? 

Life together (4)

What is one routine thing that you and your partner enjoy doing together?

Tell us a story: animal antics

Have you ever had a pet that had an amazing trick it would perform on command?

Party time

If you decided you wanted to hold a big celebration, what are a few of the things that you could use as an excuse to celebrate?

Your living space (3)

Do you live in pleasant and positive surroundings?  Does your home feel comfortable and secure?  Do you feel safe going outside?  What are some of the things you like and things you need that are conveniently located close to home? 

Improving your skills (2)

What are some skills you've developed purely for the fun of it? 

Tell us a story: away from home

What is the most unusual place where you've slept on a summer vacation? 

Tell us a story: road trip

What was one amazing place or memorable event that you visited as part of a group trip or outing?

Tell us a story: over too soon

Sometimes, things we share with other people — including, for example, clubs, TV shows, and regularly-scheduled community events — end sooner than we want them to, and our lives feel a little poorer without them.  What was one thing that you were particularly sorry to see come to an end?  Did you ever take personal action, for example, by stepping in as a volunteer, to keep something going longer? 

Tell us a story: a little sport

What is the earliest sports game or athletic competition that you can remember participating in?  How old were you?  Was it an informal, casual game, or a serious competition with official scorekeepers? 

Worth getting up early

Setting out on a long trip is one reason to wake up unusually early.  And of course emergencies can interrupt your sleep at any point.  What else sometimes prompts you to set the alarm clock for a much earlier hour than usual?

The sweet spot

Generally speaking, how do you have your best fun: by yourself, with one or two other people, or with a big group of people?

Season of fun

The words "summer" and "fun" go together, at least in the world of pop songs.  Do you agree that summer is the season of fun, or would you name another season as your fun time of year?
