Occasionally I do, but most of the time I'm somewhat gloomy.

Would you believe me if I told you this is actually the "would you rather . . . " thread?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 9:06 pm**

CRAP I am so bad about that. Would you rather listen to a Verdi opera or a Puccini opera.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 9:31 pm**

I don't like opera. I'd toss a coin and listen to Verdi.

Would you rather listen to Mahler or Stravinsky?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 9:34 pm**

Stravinsky.

Would you rather have to play violin in an orchestra or play keyboards in a heavy metal band right now in a live performance?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:34 pm**

If it includes automatically knowing how to play, i'd choose the orchestra. Otherwise the heavy metal band and I'd hope no one can hear my keys over the rest of the band.

Would you rather be able to write a symphony or a prog metal epic?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:42 pm**

A symphony. I have the utmost respect for those who can do so with classical instruments. I could write a prog metal epic easily (although I would have trouble playing it myself and sounding convincing).

Would you rather write a new national anthem for North Korea or music for a porno?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:46 pm**

Music for a porno sounds a lot easier and less likely to make me lose my head, so probably that. Depending on the porno maybe I could do both with the same piece.

Would you rather become famous for writing music or for writing literature?

Literature. Most people will read a book once or twice and remember it warmly. Folks are mighty fickle (or stubborn) with music.

Would you rather meet Sting or Jamie Muir?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 11:14 pm**

I've already met Sting so David Muir.

Would you rather attend a gris or an exorcism?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 11:27 pm**

It's Jamie Muir, not David.

As a Christian who does not believe in demons, an exorcism.

Would you rather attend a stranger's wedding or a stranger's birthday party?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 11:30 pm**

Ugh I hate weddings. Birthdays it is!

Would your rather eat birthday cake or birthday breakfast in bed?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:44 am**

I don't much like cake, so breakfast in bed.

Would you rather own a yacht or an RV?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 10:39 am**

A yacht.

Would you rather own a yacht or a rowboat?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 10:49 am**

Yacht.

Would you rather own a condo in NYC or LA?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:16 am**

NYC, although I tend to be very nervous about getting murdered when I venture out of sleepy St Pete.

Would you rather go to a timeshare demo or a session on how to sell your broken gold jewels?

(Also to Rob: How is your daughter? Also, TEACHING IS HARD! And I only did it an hour. Major props).

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:26 am**

How to sell broken gold jewels.

Would you rather date Dean or Logan (GG)?

She's doing all right. I think it was something she ate.

I'm glad you clarified you meant GG, I was wondering who the hell Dean was.

On Gilmore Girls, Dean all the way. Over Jesse too. . Logan on Gilmore Girls was a total ponce and I can't believe Rory dated him as long as she did.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:36 am**

I'd date Jess.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:40 am**

No, not Jess! Why would you date Jess?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:53 am**

He's sort of an outsider and that appeals to me k

Also, he's totally hot.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 1:17 pm**

He's kind of mean and a know-it-all and vaguely misogynistic k.

Would you rather binge-watch Gilmore Girls or House of Cards?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:23 am**

Gilmore Girls.

Would you rather spend a day watching a full season of your favourite series or listening to the whole discography of your favourite band/artist?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:34 am**

I'd rather binge-watch the oeuvre of my favorite director or actor, but I think I'll go with series. There are a few that probably deserve a rewatch.

Would you rather go to a yogurt-making class or a yoga-making class?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:49 am**

Yogurt making.

Would you rather have a Cobb salad or a taco salad?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:53 am**

Ooh this is hard. I'm assuming for purposes of this question that it's a veg Cobb (which I've had before). I don't love the deconstructed nature of the salad because I have to mix it together myself (although it looks lovely in striations), so I will pick the taco salad out of laziness. And it's something I often have in Tex Mex places anyway.

If you were going to have a taco salad, would you rather have cilantro vinaigrette as your dressing or avocado ranch?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:57 am**

Gah, I like neither cilantro nor avocado. But I think I could possibly like avocado ranch.

French or Italian dressing?

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 2:32 pm**

Italian, but I often find it too sweet.

Croutons or seeds/nuts on your salad?

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2013 11:17 pm**

oooh, depends on the salad. I love me some toasted hazelnuts with just about anything though. But I love croutons too. I don't see why I shouldn't have both.

goat cheese or gorgonzola?

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2013 11:20 pm**

Gorgonzola.

Would you rather be $2000 richer or be 20 pounds heavier or lighter?

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2013 11:29 pm**

$2000 richer. Easily.

would you rather play a bouzouki or a balalaika?

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:41 pm**

Balalaika.

Who is your favorite animal in space?

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:55 pm**

This is a rather vague & mysterious question. I would go with Laika, tragic, but she blazed a path to some extent.

In your life, do you prefer vague & mysterious, or concrete & discernible?

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2013 1:53 pm**

Vague & mysterious.

Pretzels or potato chips?

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2013 7:54 pm**

Chips!

Chips or fries?

Posted: **Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:08 pm**

Fries.

Would you rather have to wait 30 minutes before getting in the pool after eating or wait 30 minutes eating after getting out of the pool?

Posted: **Wed Sep 18, 2013 7:31 pm**

The second, I hate waiting to go in the pool

Would you rather be able to sing, or to draw?

Posted: **Wed Sep 18, 2013 7:38 pm**

Sing. I sing, but being able is quite a different story.

Would you rather date Donald Duck or Daffy Duck?

Posted: **Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:18 pm**

Daffy. He's crazier

Would you rather read about something new before you do it, or just jump in and do it?

Posted: **Thu Sep 19, 2013 2:51 pm**

Read about it before I do it and that should surprise no one!

Would you rather spend a day in your own little world (by yourself) or in a shared world with another person or persons? (i.e., do you like being alone with yourself)

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2013 12:23 pm**

Ha probably by myself. Although if we all met for a lazy brunch, I'd be down with that.

What is the biggest item you've scratched off today's To-Do list or would you rather not say?

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2013 12:33 pm**

Getting rid of my neck/head pain.

Would you rather eat an apple or an orange right now?

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:48 pm**

I'm a citrus girl, so orange! Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

Would you rather recreate Ben-Hur using My Little Ponies or Clockwork Orange using action figures?

Clockwork Orange!

Would you rather recreate the pod race scene from The Phantom Menace or hold your head in a bucket of ice water for five minutes?

Posted: **Wed Sep 25, 2013 11:34 am**

That's actually a tough call but I guess The Phantom Menace race because I have an acute aversion to being cold.

Would you rather watch a filibuster or go have a drink at Dave & Buster's?

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 3:21 pm**

ofc drink!

Would you rather be a blood lusting tick or mosquito?

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 9:06 pm**

They both are pretty bloodlusting, tbh. But i will go with tick~ they seem to have a better chance to get away.

Go to the dentist, or go to the Department of Motor Vehicles?

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 10:58 pm**

The dentist because I'm not TOTALLY negligent and there's less waiting time.

Be dead among the living, or living among the dead?

Posted: **Fri Sep 27, 2013 9:31 pm**

Dead among the living, less scary being the scary bit.

Spend your vacation on a boat, or very far from a boat?

Posted: **Sun Sep 29, 2013 8:56 pm**

Despite my username, I am not a fan of boats so I would rather be far from them.

Be good at doing something you hate, or be surrounded by people bad at doing something you love?

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:32 pm**

Doing something I hate, i can't imagine a worse hell than being surrounded by people (figuratively) butchering what i love.
