535 – Longest Survey I’ve Done In Awhile

1. Would you rather saw a foot off or saw a hand off?:  God . . .  Not a clue . . .
2. Would you rather be blind or deaf?: Deaf.  I couldn’t be blind.  I just couldn’t.  But even deaf, I could sing.  I just wouldn’t be able to hear myself.
3. Would you rather listen to an album by a band/artist you hate a hundred times or watch a movie you hate a hundred times (in a row)?: Album.  I can tune out sound after awhile.
4. Would you rather die of starvation or die of thirst?:  Probably thirst.
5. Would you rather fall into lava or fall into ice water?:  Ice water.  It may be cold, but there’s more of a chance of survival.
6. Would you rather go to school naked or wear an incredibly embarrassing outfit?: Embarassing outfit, hands down.
7. Would you rather be forgotten after death or remembered and hated?:  Forgotten, definitely.
8. Would you rather be a guest on “Maury” or “Oprah”?:  Oprah.  She had Paul on one of her shows.
9. Would you rather be dumped by someone you love or dump someone you love?:  Be dumped.  Because that, you get over.  Or can, anyway.
10. Would you rather eat something really disgusting or make out with your worst enemy?:  Ugh . . .  Neither are appealing, but after seeing Fear Factor so many times, I’ve gotta say making out with the worst enemy.
11. Would you rather not eat for a week or not sleep for a week?:  God . . .  Neither of those are good choices.
12. Would you rather go to the bathroom in public or hold it for a few hours?:  I’ll hold it, thanks.
13. Would you rather work at a slaughterhouse or pick up road kill with your bare hands?: Slaughterhouse.  I’d become a vegetarian, but still.
14. Would you rather have a twenty-four hour migraine or a twenty-four hour stomachache?:  Oh, God, Stomachache, no doubt.  I’ve had horrible stomachaches, and I’ve had things very close to migraines.  Stomachaches I can deal with.  Headaches, I hate.
15. Would you rather do a 100,000 word essay on the cotton gin in one night or not see your significant other for a month?: If I could contact them, I’d go with not seeing them.  If I couldn’t, where’s that typewriter?
16. Would you rather be shot in the stomach or shot in the head (you miraculously survive)?:  Stomach.
17. Would you rather receive a phone call saying your significant other was in an accident or a close relative?:  Significant other, simply because the only relative I’m close to is 93, and a significant other of mine would have a much better chance of surviving.
18. Would you rather have a humiliating photo of yourself circulating around the Internet or a humiliating secret?:  Humiliating secret.  That way, yeah, people know, but they won’t know my face.
19. Would you rather be killed by Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) or Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th)?:  Through my nightmares, or by a zombie-oid?  Hmm . . .
20. Would you rather be a vampire and have a stake driven through your heart or be a werewolf and get shot by a silver bullet?:  I’ll go with being the vampire.
21. Would you rather be in an intense car accident or a plane crash?:  God . . . car crash, I guess.
22. Would you rather rob a bank or a supermarket?:  Am I going all out?  Bank, then.
23. Would you rather eat muffins or cupcakes?:  Depends on the muffin.
24. Would you rather be a chain smoker or a raging alcoholic?: Hmm . . . Ruin liver, ruin everything else.  Liver it is!
25. Would you rather have your favorite band break up or have your favorite TV show cancelled/taken off air?:  Well, my favorite band is already broken up, and I don’t really watch much TV anymore.
26. Would you rather have a facial deformity or a life-interfering disease?:  Facial deformity, I suppose.  Because Life-interfering can also mean life-threatening.  Deformity doesn;t necessarily mean that.
27. Would you rather have a hideous car that works or a beautiful car that acts up?:  Hideous car.  I’d paint a smiley on it, and acessorize with stickers!!!
28. Would you rather be unhappy and rich or happy and poor?:  In the middle and middle class.
29. Would you rather fall into a narrow, icy crevice or a volcano (you die either way)?:  I’m definitley dying?  Volcano, then.  The searing heat would kill me instantly.
30. Would you rather go outside in the snow with no shirt on or no pants on?: No pants.  Cuz at least then, I could be wearing a skirt, or something.
31. Would you rather have your movie do well but be ripped apart by critics or very little known?:  Do well.
32. Would you rather have a glass bottle broken over your head or be touched with an extremely hot iron?:  Bottle.  I hate being burned.
33. Would you rather be hit by a bus or fall down a very rocky hillside (you miraculously survive)?:  Rocky hillside.  Amazingly enough, I’d say there’s less risk for broken bones.  More outward injuries, cuts, etc, but still.
34. Would you rather go under cardiac arrest or have a stroke?:  Cardiac arrest.  I’ve seen what strokes do to a person . . .  ::shudders::
35. Would you rather be a heart surgeon or an embalmer?:  Embalmer.
36. Would you rather be on a reality show or a game show?:  It’d depend on the reality show.
37. Would you rather be big but healthy or skinny but unhealthy?:  Big but healthy.  Because if I put my mind to it, I could always become kinny and healthy.
38. Would you rather be ugly or stupid?:  Ugly.
39. Would you rather be be a bad artist or a bad writer?:  Bad artist.  Writing is my life.
40. Would you rather be stranded on an island alone with basically no hope for a rescue or with a group of people you hate with a hope of a rescue?:  With people I hate.  Because it’s possible they can become friends, and if they can’t, well, at least there’s drama while waiting to be rescued.
41. Would you rather have weight problems or acne problems?:  God . . .  Neither.
42. Would you rather find out your friend told a deep, dark secret of yours to a gossip or that your significant other cheated on you with a slut/dick?:  Cheated.
43. Would you rather have crappy acting or crappy singing?:  In myself, or watching it from someone else?  ell, in either case, I’d have to say that I’d pick bad acting over bad singing.  Bad acting, I can make fun of.  Bad singing, ::shudders::  I can;t stand it.
44. Would you rather acquire herpes or become pregnant (if you’re a guy, just say herpes)?:  Pregnant.

51. Would you rather stick needles under your fi

ngernails or have every hair on your head plucked out with tweezers?:  That’s just . . . gross.

NAUGHTY OR NICE

What is your view, in general, on rules?: A lot of them are good in theory, but they aren’t enforced enough, or there are too many loopholes that people make a point of finding, and worming through.
Do you ever call in sick to work/school/whatever when you aren’t?: I have a couple times, but I’ve promised myself I won’t anymore.  I’ve felt so bad doing it before.
When out with your S.O., a friend comes over and starts hanging all over him/her. How do you react?: Give them odd looks, and probably say a couple of things, purposely pitched jokingly.  Later, I’d ask my S.O. what the heck he was doing letting the friend do that, then I’d confront the friend, asking what the Hell they thought they were doing.
Have you ever hooked up with someone you knew was attached? If yes, would you again? If not, would you ever?: No, and I wouldn’t want to.  Accidentally is one thing, but purposely . . .  Ugh.
The last time someone tore into you for doing something wrong (that was something you did do), what was it?: You know, I’m honestly not sure. A lot of the things that I have conflicts with people about are mutual right and wrong, or varying opinions.
How did you react to this person?: ??  No definitive answer to say.
Your boss (or parents or friends or whatever) wants your ass for work this weekend, but you are packed with plans. Do you work, play or compromise?: Depends on the plans.  I’d try to compromise, and if I couldn’t, then I’d probably work.
You’re borrowing a shirt and stain it. Do you… return and apologize, return and let it go unnoticed, return and blame stain on lender, buy new shirt, etc?: I’d show it to them, ask if they wanted me to try to get it out.  If yeah, I would.  If not, I’ve give it back to them, and let them do whatever with it.
Do you cheer for the good guy or bad guy?: Good guy usually, but I also like seeing the “bad guy” reforming.  Yeah, I’m idealistic, what of it?  Lol.

FRIENDLINESS

When you step into an elevator and see a friend you: Smile and say “Hey, what’s up?”
An aquaintence: Probably nod and smile.
Someone you’ve met once or twice: The same.
A stranger?: Not sure . . .
How often do you end up listening to people’s problems when you really don’t care?: Not that often, usually.  I mean, there’s one I know who just keeps going on and on about stuff I don’t really care/want to know, but other than that, I will say if I can’t/don’t want to hear about something.
How far do you let people go before you tell them off?: It depends very heavily on who they are, what they’re doing, and who they’ve been to me.  Like, I’m not too inclined to tell off an acquaintance, but someone closer, I will, and someone closer still, I usually don’t.  For some odd reason . . .
What does a friend have to do to be kicked out of your life?:  Screw over someone I consider a close friend, screw me over, or purposely hurt someone I care about.
How do you react to phone sales(wo)men?: I hand them over to my mom, because usually she’s the one they wnat to talk to anyway.
How often to people just randomly start talking to you?: Not that often.
Do you try to escape them, talk to be polite, or really enjoy talking with a stranger?: Depends on the person and what they start talking about.
How do you feel, react, ect, to people when you first meet them?: It depends on the person.  I get intuition about who I can open up to, and who I can’t.  But usually I try to be friendly, tell jokes, or funny stories, etc.
How long does it take you to warm up to people?: Depends on the person and whether or not I feel I can warm up to them.
Are you usually invited to go on outings with friends/coworkers/schoolmates/whoever?: Not so much, but then most of my communication with friends is through IM and E-mail.
After a party how do you usually feel about your night?: Depends on the party.
