This swap will provide a list of 31 questions. You must choose at least 20 to answer including the first question that is required for all swappers. Some of the questions will require you to express beliefs that are not shared by your partner so this swap is not for those who are easily offended. Different religious and sociological ideas may be expressed and there may be cursing in some journal entries. If any of these offend you please do not sign up for this swap. All answers must be submitted to your partner in a journal format. You may choose to decorate your entries but it is not required. The journal itself may be store bought, or it can be handmade.
