moisturizer.

would you rather never be able to read again, or only have 1 person (a person you really hate) to talk to?

Person I hate. I think I could get past our differences and learn to like them. I did with my very best friend!

If your significant other was cheating on you, would you rather it be someone you knew, or a total stranger?

A total stranger. If it was somebody I knew, I know I'd have to learn to hate the two people that I used to love. Unless... I didn't know the person that well... And anyway, if my partner was cheating on me, no matter how "special" my partner is, I'd find it soooo hard to forgive them anyway...
Would you rather ... live in night-time darkness all of the time, or have to bathe in something yucky every night..?
Xx

Bathe something yucky every night. I'm what you might call a lucimaniac, or whatever. I'm obsessed with light. Not that I have to have light all the time, just that I am quite addicted to the concept of light itself. I enjoy staring at it for some strange reason. . . . anyway, living in darkness for rest of my life would be even worse than the unpleasant bath arrangement.

Would you rather be given a small sword and then locked in a gladiator arena with a very hungry lion, or with a very skilled warrior who also has a sword?

Lion. They're much easier to outsmart. Match it's predatory strafe, not taking your eyes off it for a second, then, wait for it to pounce. You have a couple options:
1. Sidestep the pounce and slash at it with your sword. Repeat maneuver until its unable to pounce, then with quick feet, you can easily handle it.
2. Jump forward into the charge at the last second, making sure to jump above the claws, then slash down at it with the sword. Repeat until lion is defeated.
Battle Strategies 101: Lion. Next week, we'll discuss bears!

Would you rather face down an angry grizzly bear with only a staff, or face down an angry wild boar with only a club?

^^^Very nice battle strategy, Socks. I must applaud.

And I think I'd rather face the boar with the club. First of all, I am terrified of bears, especially when they are angry and of the grizzly variety. Secondly, they are much bigger than wild boars. Thirdly, a club is a heavier weapon than a staff. With a club you might have a chance of bludgeoning the attacker into submission, but with a staff, pretty much your only hope would be to ram it into the eyes or down the throat.

(Great, now I'm doing the whole battle strategies thing too. . . .)

Anyway! Would you rather sing a very complex and advanced classical aria on stage in front of 20,000 people--or perform an equally complex and advanced dance solo?

^^^Boars are tough animals, with thick skulls, and even thicker skin. Haha, a club would be difficult to beat them with, but I'm sure it's possible! With enough optimism! haha, and thank you for your complements on my battle strategies, my friends and I talk about them a lot.

I would rather sing, easily. Haha, I have three left feet.

Would you rather go on a blind date set up by someone who absolutely hated you, or go on a date with someone you hated for somebody you loved?

The date set up by my hater -- doesn't mean I won't end up liking whomever they set me up with.

Would you rather have constant summer or constant winter?

Summer. But only as long as we get school off too otherwise its really boring sitting in a hot,stuffy classroom.

Would you rather commit sucicide or be murdered by the one you thought you could trust?

Can I join?

Depending on how gruesome the murder I'd still prefer it to taking my own life. Murdered by the one I thought I could trust.

Would you rather be constantly invisible or constantly stared at and scrutinized?

Ooh, good question! I think I'd rather be invisible. There's a certain magic to an invisible person in not being seen, haha.

Would you rather eat nothing but mushrooms for a whole month, or wear only the color orange for a whole month?

Only wear the colour orange for a whole month! Definately! :O What's wrong with orange?!
Mushrooms = blech...

Would you rather be sent to prison for life; for a very serious crime which you did not commit, or sent to a lunatic asalum (I spelt that wrong, didn't I?) :O sorry, or sent to a lunatic asalum for life; you yourself being the only one who knows that you are not crazy...?
(Ever seen the film gothika..? Well, for that kind of thing )

Hmmm, tough question. In actuality, part of insanity is not denying your own sanity. So if you think you're insane, you probably aren't. But spending time around insane people might make me get there. I'd go to prison.

Would you rather be shot 25 times from 10 yards with an airsoft rifle, or have 25 lashings with a coarse, gritty rope?

Notice how none of us would give up our writing or reading abilities.

Lashed. Airsoft rifles are just...no.

Would you rather dance on a rooftop or hike underground?

Dance on a rooftop. That sounds like wicked fun. Besides, I HATE being underground.

Would you rather have to walk blindfolded across a six-inch wide plank over a deep gorge, or be chased across the same plank by a guy with a machete (assuming he has incredible balance and won't fall), meaning you'll have to run?
