    Sexually irresistible. I say that because of two things, alcohol and blindfolds.

    WYR fall in love in prison, or in a pysch ward?

    WYR know the exact DATE of your death or the exact CAUSE of your death? (Nothing you do with this info can change the outcome)

    Exact date, I'll supply the cause (and boy will I be creative)

    WYR be thought to have plagiarized what is really your work, or have someone plagiarize your work and no one believes you?

    Isn't that what happened in Inception?

    And I'd go for celibacy - too annoying to have people you don't want coming after you, and a little dangerous.

    Would you rather be Jesus or Judas?

    Would you rather be fluent in an obscure, near-extinct language or in a common but unexciting language you can actually put to good use?

    1) Judas, I'd have to be anyway as I'm pagan XD

    2) Obscure near-extinct language, just for a laugh, and to be able to make notes that no one can understand.

    WYR drink water and have an extremely above average life expectency or drink whatever you want but die in 15 years?

    I probably don't have fifteen years left anyway, so I'll drink it all.

    If you had a disease with an 80% chance of killing you in one year, WYR have a medical procedure that would cure the disease, but which has a 80% chance of reducing your IQ to 50, or take your chances without the procedure, intellect intact?

    I would definitely pick 2.

    WYR go water skiing after a kraken with a harpoon, or go at it with a bomb on a speedboat?

    Boat? I mean, it might eat the boat instead of you.

    WYR run five miles drunk off your ass, or run 1 mile with shoes made out of concrete?

    I'm so confused. Does the grizzly have the machete, or do I?

    Well, I'm going to fight the grizzly using the two wolves as my weapons. Pretty sure we'll win.

    Would you rather be able to smell anything but yourself, or hear anything but your own voice?

    Smell anything but myself, I like the sound of my voice.

    Would you rather jump into a pool of grape soda, or a pool of water that is just barely warmer than freezing?

    Soda. Much less uncomfortable.
    WYR have no pain or no smell?

    No smell as I could end up really ill or really hurting myself and not realising.
    WYR be drunk constantly or unable to sleep for longer than two hours at a day?

    Eh, I could go through life buzzed with alcohol.

    WYR take a psychedelic that lasts three days and has dull effects (colors, some sensations), or take a drug that lasts three hours, and makes it so that there are dragons in the kitchen.

    Well, if the second doesn't cause anything frightening, or put me in danger, then the second would be quite nice.
    WYR have no mouth or no eyes?

    I meant to say you weld the machete.

    No mouth

    Would you rather kill yourself brutally right now, or live forever?

    That is literally the topic of the part of my story I'm working on now. My characters opts for the former, but fails, hence my user name.

    As for myself, I would probably pick living forever. I can imagine eventually regretting it though, when the earth is gone and I'm just floating through space alone.

    Would you rather be married to someone of your own sex (presuming you are straight), or someone gay of your opposite sex (presuming you are straight)?

    I would rather be the second because it specifies neither of us are in love. Unequal love is heartbreaking. But equality either way is more manageable. After all, just because we're married doesn't mean we have to have sex. So I can still have a boyfriend on the side of my straight wife as long as she is fine with it. It's pretend.
    WYR have a large boil or chronic stomach pains?

    I suppose I would rather have chronic stomach pains. Both would be more than bothersome, but at least stomach pains would be purely internal. One wouldn't have to deal with the outward consequences of a large boil.

    Would you rather only be able to read Nicholas Sparks or James Patterson for the rest of your life?

    There was no specification on what part of my body the large boil would be on. Thus, it could be in a place that would never be seen--literally never, not even during sex--like, for example, on the back of my neck hidden by hair. So I'd pick that.
    EDIT: I posted at the same time as the last person, sorry. I'd pick Nick Sparks because I actually enjoyed the Notebook, or at least the movie version.

    Would you rather:

    1) Own a large tank of dozens of giant roaches/spiders (for me roaches would be more horrifying, but substitute any phobia equivalent you have) in a prominent place right across the room from your bed, so you're forced to see them each night, and there is no type of loophole involving a barrier screen or a sheet covering the tank etc. Basically you're forced to look at them crawling around, and when the bugs die, you have to get more, so the tank is there forever

    Or:

    2) Share a bed each night with a partner who only showers once a month, brushes their teeth once a week, and never washes their feet or their junk. They aren't required to be your intimate/sexual partner (you could have your own preferred partner on the side), but they would be forced to live with you and sleep in the same bed as you (platonic is fine) and get their stink in your nose every night

    The first, I'd just have to be sure to never eat in my bedroom.

    WYR be chased around by a hungry dragon for two hours, or be chased by a killer snail (it can kill with a touch) for two days?

    Snail for two days. Pretty sure I could get far enough away from that little fucker in a short period of time. Then I could kick my feet up and relax. Like that movie, It Follows.

    Would you rather eat green colored shit, or brown? (Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump)

    Green, but is there really a difference? It's all shit.

    WYR have the god of your choice exist or have the Earth be alive (Gaia)?

    God of my choice, because then I could customize the god or goddess to be this super gentle hippie who loves everyone, operates by the law of "live and let live as long as you don't harm others," stops the injustice and oppression and hatred in the world, gives enough resources for all, etc. Basically if I can create my own god, I could ensure a utopia! :) None of that vengeful Biblegod crap.

    WYR:

    1) Live in a studio apartment with one bedroom and one bathroom that you have to share with ten obnoxious people you can't stand, and there's no way for you to ever move out or for any of them to, EVER
    or
    2) Be a hermit in a cabin in the woods who never goes to social events or has friends over, basically you're totally isolated all of the time except for occasional things like seeing others at the grocery store, and you can never have close friends or significant others
