Forums » Smalltalk » Random Survey for the bored

I'm off and on right now, not staying on long enough to hold a conversation, but I'm bored, so I'm writing this. This way I don't have to hold a conversation but can still look at the responses when I get a free moment in between chores.

1. What's one thing you're looking forward to?

2. Winter or spring?

3. Edgar Allen Poe or The Beatles?

4. Swimming or skydiving?

5. A cabin in the woods or a 5 star hotel?

6. If you could live a lifetime as an animal of your choice, which animal would you be/why?

7. Life is like a box of....

8. Justice or Mercy?

9. Freedom or Safety?

10. Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton?

11. Dreams or Reality?

12. Money or Time?


1. What's one thing you're looking forward to?

Having money again once the school year starts.

2. Winter or spring?

Winter.

3. Edgar Allen Poe or The Beatles?

The Beatles (sorry Poe fans. Respect tho).

4. Swimming or skydiving?

Skydiving sounds cool.

5. A cabin in the woods or a 5 star hotel?

Cabin in the woods.

6. If you could live a lifetime as an animal of your choice, which animal would you be/why?

Probably a bird of prey of some type or a dolphin

7. Life is like a box of....

Trail mix. You pick out the pieces you want to do and do them but the pieces you don't want to do are still left to do.

8. Justice or Mercy?

Mercy

9. Freedom or Safety?

Freedom

10. Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton?

Hamilon (Strong national government. Although respect for Jefferson and states' rights too)

11. Dreams or Reality?

Ooof. Lately...Dreams.

12. Money or Time?

Definitely time. Love my free time.
1. What's one thing you're looking forward to?

Finally getting my freaking book published so I can be done with it. (I'm tired of looking at it after 10 months lol)

2. Winter or spring?

Winter. Too many thunderstorms in Spring.

3. Edgar Allen Poe or The Beatles?

I would say neither tbh, but if I have to pick one then Poe.

4. Swimming or skydiving?

Swimming. I am not jumping out of no plane.

5. A cabin in the woods or a 5 star hotel?

5 star hotel.

6. If you could live a lifetime as an animal of your choice, which animal would you be/why?

I can't say because I really don't want to jinx myself when it comes to reincarnation lmao.

7. Life is like a box of....

mismatched socks. (It's not like chocolates because I like every single one of those suckers) It's like a box of mismatched socks because none of them were meant to be worn together but if you're 1. lazy enough or 2. don't care what people think, you wear them anyway, and some people even buy purposely mismatched socks.

8. Justice or Mercy?

The problem is that sometimes Justice isn't really justice. For instance, a criminal can be proven innocent by a jury but that does not mean they're actually innocent, and while some would say it was justice, it really wasn't. Mercy is complicated as well because sometimes you're showing mercy by letting someone die quickly instead of slowly.

So, eh. Mercy I guess.

9. Freedom or Safety?

Depends. Not everyone's idea of freedom or safety is the same. But for example, if freedom meant weapons for everyone, and safety meant only weapons for some, I'd chose safety.

10. Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton?

Uhmm Hamilton.

11. Dreams or Reality?

Reality. My dreams are usually pretty unpleasant but not scary enough to be nightmares.

12. Money or Time?

Money. I already (hopefully) have plenty of time, but no money. Time is worthless without money to me, because I would rather not have all the time in the world to live in a card board box lol. I would personally take living in a good house, with all the clothing, books, movies, and food I want, and all the plane tickets to see my friends that I want for 30 years than have little money but live 300 years.
