    Blood poisoning. Only because I've seen enough people die from radiation sickness on episodes of 24 to know I don't want to go out like that!

    Would you rather have no windows or no TV?

    No T.V. I need my windows.

    Would you rather live your life knowing the day you die or just die on a day you least expect it.

    I would rather know what day I die. (That way I could do the things I have dreamed of doing, without having to worry about dieing unexpectedly.)

    Would you rather live in a city and rarely get go to the country or live in the country and rarely go to the city.

    I would rather live in the city, and rarely go to the country. This was a hard one.

    would you rather live alone on a tropical island, or live with people in Antarctica?

    Live alone on a tropical island as long as i have lots of books and notebooks and pens.

    Would you rather have a miniature size dragon that accidently burned everything if he sneezed or a Pegasus whos wings knocked over anything it was near

    would you rather someone ruin a drawing you'd done perfectly and took you ages to make, or to ruin a school project which took u ages to make?

    Ooh, toughie. School project. Though I am rather attached to my drawings.

    Would you rather: be an art plagiarist and be internationally successful and renowned, without the possibility of being caught out, or a down-on-your-luck artist whose absolutely original art doesn't quite rake in the money? Money or morals?

    morals every time. What would be the point in being renowned and successful, if you hadn't achieved it on your own merit, with your own skill and talent? It would be like cheating at Monopoly!

    Would you rather lose the use of your hands or eyes? As a writer either would be a bad deal, but which would you choose?

    Eyes. With hands I could still write and feel and be useful. Without hands you are so limited with interacting with the world around you. Besides, I know a guy who was born blind who is a total mack daddy. Women fall all over him because when you have a good looking guy who can't see women are curious what the sex is like. I get so jealous sometimes.


    Would you rather write total crap that catches on and makes you rich (JK Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, Amanda Hocking) or be underappreciated author who never scores it big but whose work resonates through the ages (Dickenson, Poe, Therau).

    what you suggest is known as Pascals wager. where he claims it is better to live as though there is a god, and discover there is nothing after death.
    than it is to live as though there is no god, and discover there is indeed one.

    and i tend to agree with Pascal.


    Would you rather be rich or famous.

    Rich. I have no great skill that I should be famous for, and people who want to be famous just because they are famous are... beyond weird and more than a little psychotic in my books.

    Would you rather eat like a king and dress in rags, or eat poorly and be at the height of fashion?

    Eat like a king! I can't give up my delicious (and probably fattening) foods!

    Would you rather...

    Lose the ability to write with a pen/pencil FOREVER
    or
    Lose the ability to use a computer FOREVER?

    Lose the pen/pencil. The ability to use a computer in this age is much more important.

    Would you rather have a shower in water that gave you fourth-degree burns, or a shower in water that gave you frostbite? (in both instances, you're naked, like a normal shower-er should be).

    Frostbite. I don't like the idea of either, but I fourth degree burns, man ..., and I always seemed to be able to stand the cold longer than the heat. Except for than feeling of drowning in the middle of the ocean I get whenever I'm showering in cold water, especially if the pressure/volume of the water is large.

    Would you rather die by falling down from a tall building onto a busy street or by being shot in the chest by a crossbow at point-blank range?

    Busy street.

    Would you rather be rich and unhappy or poor and unlucky?

    Tough. Since being poor and unlucky would probably mean that I would run into situations that would make me unhappy, I would rather be rich and unhappy. At least I'd be able to have some frivolous enjoyment once in a while...

    Would you rather have the most exciting week of your life knowing that after that you were going to die slowly and painfully from a terrible disease, or have a long and healthy life in confinement and solitude?

    Long healthy life lonely life. DUh.

    Would you rather jump off the roof and be brain damaged for lyfe or turn schizo for lyfe from meth abuse?

    Turn schizo, I have always been curious on what that is like.

    Would you rather be a revolution-leading wizard in a crazy, tormented, tryanny ruled, cliche, medieval kingdom; or the pilot of a space-ship hoping to preserve the human race from an apocalypse, an almost suicidal mission?

    the latter. It is less boring.


    Would you rather take fourteen hours to die or be homeless?

    These are really good questions! :)

    I'd rather be homeless. To be alive and poor would be better than die like that...

    Would you rather only dress in fashions that were popular 20 years ago or dress the way you did when you were 10?

    Am I allowed to just jump in? Sorry if I took someone's question!

    Well, I'm 25 so it almost was 20 years ago when I was ten! Lol.

    I'd say the fashions of 20 years ago, as at least I'd some variety rather than just cartoony kid clothes.

    Would you rather only have really possessive, clingy boyfriend/girlfriend or no-one into you at all?
