Like the topic says, five words, ordered by their importance. It broad be best if you kept it limited to broad topics, instead of names, etc, but it's your list, do what you want. Be honest about it - none of this forced nobility bullshit. If you have to think about the list for more than 10 seconds, you're probably lying to yourself. And here I go...

1. Sex
2. Love
3. Family
4. Money
5. Games

Yep. I wish I was a better man, but there it is. And when I say love, I mean the "searching for soulmate" kind of love, but it also spills over to my family and friends. Still, I think my family takes a backseat to my pursuit of true personal happiness, so I emphasized that by placing them in third. I guess that makes me narcissistic, but I'm just being honest. Yeah, games are a big part of my life. If this list were 10 entries long, GAF would probably warrant its own entry. No, this isn't for some Psych 101 project, I'm just honestly curious. It's interesting to see one's life limited to the most essential passions...

I put country after God, but realized that if my country asked me to betray my friends and family I'd tell em to shove off.
I like helping people, I do I do.

If you're being totally honest, I really respect your list. Frankly, my "country" would be lucky to break the Top 100. I was born here, I can't appreciate what it's like to have anything else, and frankly probably wouldn't be willing to fight for it. If a draft was ever issued, I'd be pushing the elderly out of the way on my mad dash to Canada.

I am being totally honest. The country is a major player because of everything it has done for me, my friends, my family, and many others through history. It may do stupid things occasionally, but the good greatly outweighs the bad. I live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and I have not only all of my needs met, but all of my wants met too. That's saying a lot when there are hundreds of millions of people who have to worry about whether or not they are going to eat.

Five words are definitely insufficient.

I'm not looking for a complete overview here. I think everybody has needs of desires that outweigh all others, whether or not they're prepared to confess them.

I figure fear encompasses my worrying, doubt, anxiety, depression and all.

3. Art
4. Friends & social activites(Bowling)
5. Movies/Various interests/Love

I'd like to have God on there somewhere but I find him drifting to the back of my mind often. Not that I want him to but.. Get caught up in a lot of things in life. I am proud of at least trying to do always do good and such. On love, I'm trying to keep it in the back of my mind. Really confused anyway. Want a relationship a little bit but not with just any chick. And it's hard when my school's just a flock of sluts. Which brings me to easy ass. It's there for the taking but I'm declining as of now, because like I said, those are not the kind of chicks I'd want to see 2 days in a row. They gross me out. So instead I'm just enjoying life. Going bowling, finishing some amazing art projects and trying to always improve. I may need to get a job though, for college money, bowling money, etc. That would probably knock a couple things off my list and tighten up my schedule over all. So I'm contemplating that. Also, I've got the Cubs almost starting up now. That'll jump up the list. As of now with the Bulls and sports in general, that goes under Love/various interests :D

Personally, I don't understand how someone can put God down as a priority. If there is a God, he'd want you to honor him/her by living a healthy, just life. Not by wasting time "worshipping" him/her.

One of my goals in life right now is to get some actual priorities. Almost every aspect of my life right now is so empty and underdeveloped and has been for so long....I don't think I could even answer this question.

Yeah, so this is a tough question. Let's go with:

Integrity - striving for the other four things means little if I'm dishonest or duplicitous
Truth - figuring out what is real so that I'll have a sound basis for my beliefs and actions
Love - loving my family and friends; doing things to make others happy without expecting a reward
Justice - being fair with others personally and doing my part to further just causes elsewhere
Faith - believing that I'm not just tilting at windmills

I'm still looking for what define's my life, and what I go day to day for. It's made my life monotonous, but at the same time, I live everyday for something different. I'm still young and confused. :( The pursuit of my identity is my top priority, though.

My life lacks direction too, but there's still things I put above all others, generally towards my own selfish causes, and even those priorities can be pretty empty at times. I have gaming on my list for Jebus' sake!

Five faps? Somebody trying to run a marathon? Three swift faps should be enough for anyone! :D
