The 2 Year Survey: Installation, The Fourth

So every two years, I fill out this survey. I filled it out the first time when I was sixteen and my girlfriend at the time (the lovely Camila Matos) sent it to me. Early on it becomes fairly obvious that it was written for a girl, but most of the questions are not gender specific. As for the ones that are gender specific, it is interesting to see how my answers to those have changed over the years (and how the female specific questions have become less and less applicable).

So there are four answers to each question--the first from when I was 16, the second from when I was 18, third 20 and fourth 22. I'm not sure how I remember to fill this thing out every other Spring, but I do.
