So when I was in high school, I was notorious for making lists called “It could be worse…” that I would give to friends that were having a bad day, week, break up, etc. Once I gave one to my friend Jenn. Among the things that COULD be worse, I listed, “You could be short.” She is short. Whoops.
It was time to move on, to a new type of list. I had clearly passed my prime.
So in college, I was best known for making up “Would you rather…?” questions. I think that having these in my repertoire of “interesting things to pull out in an awkward conversation where no one is answer questions” is a positive of being me, so I’ve decided to bring them back.
For an oldie, but a goody, I will start with:
Would you rather…
a) live on a ceiling fan that was BIG enough for you to have a dorm-style room (desk, bed, computer, mini-fridge) but you could not control when the fan was on or off
OR
b) live in a sub-woofer? (once again big enough for you to have a dorm-style room.)
Please ask questions in the comments, and also don’t forget to answer. I’ll post a “Would you rather…” once a week, and promise to re-post some of the best comments!!
(Also, to kick back: it could be worse, you could live in Florida and have an alligator-infested swimming pool in your backyard that was SO overgrown that not even animal-control would deal with it.)
One of my favorite memories of RA camp junior year was you, Katie and Marissa doing Would You Rathers the whole time. The one I remember from you was “WYR have scissors for hands or rollerskates for feet?” or something like that.
Once you told me: “it could be worse. you could live in the circus and have to brush the fat man’s back.”
And I was like, shit, it COULD be worse.
also, to answer Kelly, I would rather have rollerskates for feet.
Wait, would I have control over when the subwoofer was on or off? (Is the correct verb “woofing?”)
Actually, either way, i think I’d prefer the ceiling fan.
You’d not have control of the ceiling fan or the subwoofer. I’d prefer the fan, too…
