5. do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?

In point of fact, neither– but I think to address the actual question I’m not sure you can separate out one’s actions from reasons and vice-versa. Our nouns become our verbs, our actions become ourselves, and in turn influence what we do in future. Honestly, chicken or egg.

10. do you have a creed?

I think most people have a set of beliefs, and traits that guide their actions moving forward. So yeah. 

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

20. would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?

25. could you live as a hermit?

Counter-question, do I have access to internet and cats?
