ETA: I know the wording was unclear, but on the last question I was asking about talents that are athletic or physical in some way. Sorry for the confusion. :)
For the blue or black ink question... it depends on my mood, actually.
As for the insult question-- the reason that insults regarding my value as a friend/lover/family member get to me is because it preys on my own insecurities (the family member one less so, because I am secure in that respect). The lover question... saying something like, "You suck at kissing" doesn't get to me, saying something like "He never really loved you because you are a terrible person" REALLY gets to me, because hey, insecurities!
The smart/happy question was very hard for me to decide upon-- am I happy and really stupid/smart and really sad, or am I smart with a regular dose of ups and downs/happy with a decent amount of intelligence?
Yeah, I would figure that most people would be sensitive to these things because of that or because of something that happened to them. I think most people would be be insulted if not devastated by something like being told that (and I really would know better than most).
ANYWAY.
The smartness or happiness doesn't have an effect on the other thing. If you choose the happiness, you'll stay as smart as you are, but be guaranteed happiness, and if you choose the smartness, you'll be brilliant beyond Dr. House levels, but still have the regular dose of ups/downs, yes. Why? Because that's the kind of awesome wish-granter I'd be if I had the power---that's why ;).
i don't like blue or black pens, i like colored glittery pens, and my pens have to either me the fine ink roller pens in purple, green, or red, or gel sparkly pens, i won't use blue or black pens
