This or That
01. Leader or follower? A little of both. I always have a plan in my head, and if I can't subtly convince someone else to enact it, I'll probably end up doing it myself.
02. Brains or brawn? Brains, definitely. I wouldn't last a second in a test of brawn, haha.
03. Fight or run? Depends on what we're fighting for. Don't insult me and expect me to back away easily.
04. Psychological warfare, or a good ol' fashioned ass-kickin'? Psychological... mess with their heads, it's more fun that way. :)
05. Dreamer or realist? Previously, my response would be that I'm a realist b/c I'm a very practical person. I do things the way that makes sense. However, I'm very much a dreamer as well, though sometimes I hate to admit it. I'm always daydreaming in some level of my mind, and wondering how things -might- be.
06. Win at all costs, or honour until the end? Win.
07. Paper or plastic? haha, plastic, I suppose. Save a tree.
Random
01. How to do react to stressful situations? Well, first I worry about the possibility of a stressful situation before it happens. Then, when it does, I have a brief freakout moment before I put myself in control and work through the situation.
02. Who is your least favourite person in the universe, fictional or not? Oh, wow. The universe? I'm going to be really deep and say myself. Sometimes my own failures/fears are what holds me back from being what I could be. Not to say that I am a self-deprecating person, b/c I'm really not. I just can't name someone else in the entire universe that I can really place that amount of dislike on fairly... if that makes sense.
03. The eternal question. You find a wallet full of money, credit cards, etc. What do you do with it? If you had said that I found loose money, I would say that I would be very tempted to keep it. But, when it's an actual wallet with info in it, it suddenly has an identity. It belongs to someone, and I would make my best attempt to get it back to that person.
04. How well do you take an insult? Not very well, honestly. I value honesty (I'm a very blunt person), but, at the same time, I can be very easily hurt.
05. Pick a weapon. the pen (mightier than the sword, you know...)
06. You're sending a capsule into space, to educate any alien races who might find it on human culture. Remember, you have to impress them, or else they'll think we're stupid and blow us up. What do you put in the capsule? Some very artsy things like prints of famous paintings and recordings of classical music, then some impressive technological items...whatever is really advanced at the time.
