Tuesday is Chooseday

Would you rather...

1. have the power to see through walls OR hear even faint sounds up to 10 miles away?

I would rather have the power to see through walls. If I ever become a parent, I think the power to see through walls would come in real handy. So would having eyes in the back of my head. Can I get that power too? Is there some sort of combo package deal I can sign up for when the time comes?

As The Amazing Super Loon, Superhero Extraordinaire, the power to hear faint sounds from so far away would come in real handy. But then again, so would the power to see through walls. Hmmm...

I'd rather have the first ability because it would be easier to control. And would drive me less nutty. After accidentally seeing a few too many Ugly Naked Guys (few too many in this case would be 1) I'd learn to control the power. I wouldn't look at walls directly. Or I'd close my eyes where I might suspect there to be Ugly Naked Guy Zones nearby.

It'd be harder to tune out the noises. Trust me. I've been ignoring the voices in my head for some time now. They're persistent little buggers.

Hearing everything above a faint whisper within a 10-mile radius would drive over the edge and straight into Nuttyville. I wouldn't just have a summer condo there; I'd have a permanent residence! After hearing people and animals and insects all wheezing and sneezing and farting and screaming and cussing and bitching and crying and whining I'd want to jam sharp pointy objects in one ear until they start poking out the other side. And that would hurt. So that's a big N-O to that option.

I could always wear earplugs though... but they don't block out all the noise. And even if I could turn that ability off and on at will, I can't see that power being of much fun. Or much use. Unless I overhear good stock tips. Nah... I wouldn't know enough about that to do anything with it.

So yeah, I want to see through walls. It'd be like having free porn! Think of all the money I'll save! :)

2. live in ethiopia OR live in the outback of australia?

I'd rather live in the outback of Australia. I don't know which place would have harsher conditions, or which would have the better scenery, but Ethiopia brings to mind deathly skinny kids. And that's not a pleasant thought.

If I lived in the Australian outback, I'd be close to family. That has a much better appeal to me. I could just drive or hike or ride some long distance traveling animal across the outback and into the towns and visit family whenever I wanted to. That would be nice.

3. always show up 20 minutes late for everything OR always show up 90 minutes early for everything?

I would rather show up 90 minutes early. My first thought was 90 minutes is too much. I'd be wasting over an hour of my day every time I had somewhere to go! I hate to be late to things but 20 minutes isn't that late.

Well, depending on what your late for it is. What if I had a job interview? Couldn't be late for that. Or what if I were going to meet some friends at the movie theater? I hate missing the beginning of a movie. So being 20 minutes late everywhere wouldn't be fun. And if I were 20 minutes late to work, I'd have to stay 20 minutes later. The traffic I drive home through can be a bitch sometimes, and that bitchness increases exponentially with each minute that passes by. So leaving 20 minutes later than I do no would be a major pain in the ass.

Plus, if I arrived 90 minutes early for everything thing, I could bring a book with me and catch up on some much needed reading.

4. have four more years with george w bush as president of USA OR not?

NOT!
