Here goes... Story 1: Is it bad that my question to Galactica was wondering how we'd survived without more suicides? While the wondering would be kinda morbid, it also encompasses my appreciation for human resilience and our seeming instinct to fight harder when challenged rather than give up.
(I also kinda thought like Erin and wasn't sure if I was talking to the crew or to the ship. I decided on the ship...and I would've pondered the suicide rate. If I had chosen the people of Galactica, I'd obviously be more upbeat as far as celebrating our ability to perservere and become stronger through hardship.)
After reading the "answer key", I think that's fairly accurate for me. I am more of a pessimist in my own head while trying outwardly at least to rally for the cause of helping others move forward and allowing us all to grow from the challenges.
2. Kara. (She gets everywhere first and is completely made of awesome.)
In response to the answer key, it's accurate. Kara's helped me understand myself better and also allowed me to look for ways to resolve some of our mutual self-destructive choices in healthier ways.
3. Bittersweet. I’d probably cry from the catharsis of relief mixed with the overwhelming prospect of starting anew and the memories of the good time on Bstar G. Also, I'd be skeptical…how do we know it’s really the end? I mean New Cap was promising too. But…it would be awesome to be able to breathe the fresh air, lay out under the stars, and enjoy it with friends and fellow survivors for however long it lasts.
Yeah, again, answer key is reasonably accurate. I don't trust easily, especially in relationships. I'm very Kara and tentative about actually believing or trusting that peace/happiness will last although I do try to savor it in the moment.
4. Lee…but he’s not going on Galactica by himself. I am way too stubborn to let him do that. I’d grab him and march him over to Kara and let her deal with his crazy.
Answer key wasn't as accurate on this one. Maybe I was too bsg-centered about it. (I felt like he'd be going on a suicide mission into the sun and wasn't about to allow that. That's all Sammy's job.) The only resentment I can think of toward Lee is that I don't have one of my very own. :P
Story 2: the bird turned back to grey...answer key somewhat accurate I guess
Story 3: My stars were in a triangle pattern...and all equally sized. The first one I drew got the comet. If it represents my first job as a vet, well, yeah, I'm done with that shit. Overall though I'm relatively happy with my career...all the stars being the same size I guess could represent my feeling that the "grass isn't always greener" elsewhere...but I like that I was very certain that the comet went on the first star I drew. It seems promising as far as jobs to come within my current career.

Really cool DPP, Karin, thanks!
