Would you rather....

Remember that game Would You Rather...? You know the one: would you rather eat live maggots or have all of your toenails ripped out? Would you rather have paper cuts on your tongue or pins poked through your eyelids? Would you rather have to talk realllllllly slow for the rest of your life or have a third eye in the middle of your forehead? You learn a lot about yourself and the people you play that game with based on what's asked and the explainations for the answers. I found out this morning by playing with a friend at work that I'd rather do random, uncontrollable, spastic jumping jacks than have to sing everything I wanted to say off-key. I'd rather have to teach myself how to fly than spend the rest of my life running along side of a semi. And I'd rather lose my sight than lose my hearing. What does that all say about me? Well, the first one was a tough choice until the stipulation was made that the singing had to be off-key and then it was an easy choice. People already look at me funny, so being randomly spastic wouldn't be that big a deal. The second one was pretty easy too - I want every day to be a learning experience but I don't want every day to be a running experience. The last one was the easiest - if I couldn't hear music, certain people's voices, rain storms.....I'd go nuts. No contest.
