Tough Questions Meme
12 years ago
Found this floating around on FA, and I'm a sucker for 'em.
A. If you could get away with one murder in your lifetime without any legal, social, or emotional repercussions, would you kill someone?
-No.
B. What is your first thought when you receive a message on Tumblr, are you excited for the idea of someone from potentially the other side of the world wanting to talk to you or fearful that someone will criticize you?
-I have one, haven't logged on in AGES.
C. Have you ever looked down on someone because you thought your religious views were superior?
-Haha. I was raised in a very conservative, Christian household, and took the holier-than-thou attitude for a ride for a looooong time. Some really good friends pointed out I was kind of being a dick years ago. So, yes, but I'm better, now!
D. Would you rather know everything the universe has to offer but in exchange lose all emotions or remain the way you are now?
-No; I'm a romanticist at heart.
E. If you could live and be healthy without sleeping or eating/drinking, which would you cut out of your life?
-I... dunno! I like both, actually. I like the feeling of sleep; of dreaming. Permanent insomnia, even without tiredness, would suck, and I like eating and drinking, too! If it was forced on me, though, I'd go with sleeping.
F. If you could take on the exact body and form of anyone else on Earth, who would it be?
-Oh, don't tease me. Soooo many bodybuilders and athletes to choose from.
G. Would you rather burn or freeze to death?
-Take it away, Frost! "Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."
H. If it meant it would solve all world hunger, war, disease and bigotry, would you spend the rest of eternity in Hell?
- Well. Let's discuss that. If, like me, you believed in Hell and Heaven, then... what would it serve for YOU to spend eternity in Hell if all the people who suffer in this life have just as good a shot as you do of getting into Heaven? I would do lots of things to end the suffering of this world, but not that.
I. Was the first crush in your life something you had or something someone had on you?
-If we're talking, like, kiddy crushes, there was this one girl who was crazy about me when we were like... 6. But my first "proper" crush also happened to be my first true romance- a very spirited girl with red hair and a very, very nice body that did NOT take "no" for an answer.
J. Could you live without having sex ever (again) in exchange for eternal youth?
-As I am still a virgin, I'll get back to you on that!
K. Have you ever watched a full length pornographic movie?
-No, and I have no interest.
L. The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
-Beatles.
M. If you could have the ability to manipulate matter or energy, which would you choose?
-That can be interpreted in many different ways. But, if it's the way I have pictured, energy.
N. What was the worst nightmare you ever had?
-Hell. Being cut off from the light of God.
O. Would you rather spend one year with your one true love just to never see them again or the rest of your life with second best?
-Uhm. How do you interpret second best? XD Would I just be caught in a loveless marriage, then? If that's the case, the former; if we'd be content, the latter.
P. All the sequels/remakes/adaptations/rip-offs in movies nowadays, good or bad?
-Good or bad, it's creatively dead. Can we please get some new material?
Q. Would you rather be dirt poor and emotionally fulfilled in life or be rich beyond imagination and emotionally dissatisfied for life?
-The latter, because it's far easier (for me) to fix emotional problems than money problems.
R. Do you have any (secret) feelings of bigotry to any group of people?
-Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be secret! I don't... think so? I mean, I get a bit defensive when talking to outspoken liberals or atheists; because I assume they're just going to try to pontificate at how "ignorant" I am, but I've made really good friends out of both, so, I know better.
S. Would you rather be the only person in the world that can read minds or have everyone else in the world be able to read minds except for your own?
-Oooh, the latter intrigues me- I'd be the only person in the world that could be a total mystery. But that has social pariah written all over it, so the former.
T. If everyone in the world would automatically only know one language, which language would you choose?
-Honestly, if everyone's speaking the same language, I don't really care, because any cultural significance it had would fade away, it'd just be "common tongue" or anything else equally as neutral. But if I had to choose... French or Latin, for purposes of being very beautiful languages, or English, because I fucking rock at speaking English.
U. If you were old enough and not in a situation where it would be inappropriate, would you sleep with one of your (past) school teachers/professors?
-No. I'm an academic at heart; I wouldn't threaten my integrity like that.
V. A world without religion, good, bad, neutral?
-Bad. Religion has been used and manipulated several times as either the catalyst or the excuse for any number of atrocities, but it's just that- an excuse. We flawed humans would find any other reason to validate our actions, and religion has likewise inspired some of the greatest achievements in art, literature, music, architecture, politics, science, and any number of other fields. When we are inspired to touch the divine, to learn from it and cherish it, we are capable of truly great things.
W. The men's rights movement, legitimate cause or laughable, and why?
-Perhaps a bit premature? I mean. I can call bullshit on any number of instances where "women's rights" has just been an excuse, but... until we're being told to stay in the kitchen, let's just calm down a bit, lads.
X. You can eliminate one of your five senses to substantially strengthen the others, which one and would you do it?
-I've got pretty good perception as it is! So, I'm quite content. But if I -had- to, smell. As much as I enjoy good smells, it's the least... hm. Practical?
Y. Do looks mean anything to you? Don't lie, could you fall in love with someone you thought was ugly?
-Yeah, not gonna lie, I'm vain. I haven't -met- my true love yet, so we'll see! In the mean time, I can just cross my fingers and hope she/he's pretty/buff-as-fuck
Z. Can you understand the mindset and logic used by the opposite spiritual opinion? An atheist understanding the belief in a higher power and vice versa.
-Yes. I understand why certain people believe certain things. My best friend's an Atheist, and 'least one of my bros is a spiritual/agnostic. They're both intelligent, and I totally get where they're coming from. I don't agree with them, but, I understand.
And that's all for now! Just something to unwind.
God bless,

Some of this is pretty hard. Some of this is just a Catch 22. I know answering SOME of the questions could keep my journal active in the future....
