This or That
01. Leader or follower? Leader, but when things get to be too much for me, I'll gladly hand over the reigns.
02. Brains or brawn? Brains-- I could never completely fight my way out of a situation. I'd have to have a plan, first.
03. Fight or run? What's the likelyhood that I'll win?
04. Psychological warfare, or a good ol' fashioned ass-kickin'? If I have reliable back-up, I'd say a good ol' fashioned ass-kickin', but if it's just me, I'll rely on my over-abundance of brains.
05. Dreamer or realist? I le myself dream a bit, but ultimately, I look for the reality in life.
06. Win at all costs, or honour until the end? I'd like to say honour, but what good is honour if your dead? If you win, no matter the cost, you might not look too good, but at least you can make up for it later.
07. Paper or plastic? Neither. I made my own shopping bags out of some thrifted drapes. Recycle, Re-use, Reduce!
Random
01. How to do react to stressful situations? The first few minutes are usually a little bit rocky, but once I figure out what is going on and how things will work out, I'm fine-- I can even take charge if needed.
02. Who is your least favourite person in the universe, fictional or not? I'd rather not talk about her right now.
03. The eternal question. You find a wallet full of money, credit cards, etc. What do you do with it? Take it to the nearest store counter/police station/ rent-a-cop/ lost and found. I'd hate for it to have been my wallet, so I really can't see myself taking the money or anything. Not that I'm a do-gooder, it's just that Karma can be a bitch.
04. How well do you take and insult? Pretty well. It takes a lot to get my feathers ruffled, and I can usually combat with a witty comeback.
05. Pick a weapon. Sawed-off shot gun. I like a big blast with quick results.
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? The Miracle of Life DVD (I assume that they will be able to watch it) so they can see how amazing life is, Da Vinci's Madonna of the Rocks, so they can see our creative ability, A recording of Marlon Brando reading T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men" so they can see the complexities of human thought.
