6 surprised me, though thinking back on it, I'm not surprised. The only reason I've met him is because I like to raise hell a little.
30 surprised me as well, though I can't think of a course of conversation where you would have mentioned it, so it's more of a surprise to find out something new, rather than a "why didn't i know this" sort of surprise.
48 made me laugh. I've never thought that, by the way.
49 is not surprising at all, and I don't know why.
I'm glad I inspired you.
32 didn't exactly shock me but it made me laugh. I've felt like that before.
49 did surprise me, until I thought about your personality and then it just kinda grossed me out! :)
you've inspired me to try this out
