(Anons get reposted in text boxes. Because I don’t like the gray and faceless)
Yes. I hate people who aren’t intellectually curious and could never date one (no matter how lovely their other qualities may be.
hrmm. That sounds so intellectually snobby. Whatever. I know people who can’t date anyone with (fill in the physical characteristic here). Wanting people to think (about anything…I don’t care if your only interest is bees) isn’t really all that discriminating.
I really don’t find mummies very scary. They’re super dried up dusty critters encased in really really flammable remains of fabric. I have matches and lighters and zippos on every surface in my home. Burn baby, Burn.
I’m more creeped out that I must have incurred some ancient curse. Scarab beetles and plagues. Ugh.
I would love to be able to see into the near-future. Knowing what was going to happen ten minutes from now (always) would be rather cool. You’d have the benefit of foresight without the soul crushing tedium of a loss of spontaneity or free will.
I would also love to talk to animals. Considering I already try to (with very minimal success, although my recently deceased dog and the cat that lives with my mother both would answer everything that sounded like a question) it would probably help me look a lot less crazy and be super entertaining.
I would also kill to have Poison Ivy-esque powers. It would be rather awesome to control the plant side of nature.
Yes. I really enjoy airports (big fan of befriending strangers) but hate the plane itself. I really hate that level of lost control; I’m always confident that we’re about to fall from the sky in a horrible way but I hate showing fear. I basically just spend the time extremely grim contemplating life after death or the lack thereof.
Ugh.
Plus I always end up seated next to 1. someone full on panicking who I feel obligated to lie to/talk down or 2. a chitterer who I learn everything I never wanted to know about.
Oh God. I have no idea. Considering I’m currently most politically scandalized by the reproductive rights debate in America, I’d have to charge into that.
However, I’m really not that skilled at spontaneous speeches. I can reply like a boss and tear apart other people’s arguments and present a stance effectively when called upon to, but no to random blurbing. Thus me hoping to be a lawyer rather than a politician.
(I’m jumping back into the silly question thing because I left it for quite some time, feel free to fill my ask box with them again, although if you do so as anon, I’ll just post them in this format instead).
I can’t stop laughing. Worst question ever. “Neither” regions?
What specifically are my neither regions? Like neither/nor? Are they regions I don’t accept? Are they quarrelsome? Ask them a yes or no question and all they say is neither.
but yes.
Hrm. I feel like I may have answered this before (but I’m too lazy to hunt). I like confident people (borderline cocky) who actually have reasons for that confidence. I have never been attracted to someone who wasn’t intelligent. I love people with big laughs and a really dry sense of humor. I love outdoorsy folk but hate (as in absolutely detest) people who get really competitive.
Regarding more physical traits, I tend to gravitate towards more muscular men (regardless of weight), and curvier women. I go for big easy smiles regardless of gender and I’m a total sucker for people who have eye crinkles.
I also have a lot of political/social points that have to be met regardless of gender, but those would likely have a rather divisive effect on my tumblr.
Not of extreme importance. I certainly don’t consider them to be a deal breaker. However, attraction is very important. I may be splitting hairs here, but I think there’s a big difference between looks and the basis of attraction. At least I personally can be really attracted to those who aren’t classically lovely in a purely physical sense.
Although I, like everybody else, do have my shallow moments. Especially in the gym. I do so love the gym.
I’m a veg-head so this likely won’t be all that appealing to 95% of the people who follow me buttttttt…
I had this rather amazing sandwich at a vegetarian place in D.C. It was on homemade puffy garlic bread that wasn’t greasy or buttery at all (my normal complaints against flavorful breads). It had fire roasted veggies (onion, mushroom, peppers, and zucchini) with this really spicy curry sauce and munster cheese. I was basically unintentionally acting out that awkward scene from when Harry Met Sally. Soooo good.
(Also, I adore thegreatleon.)
Free bateries. Although I like bread, I make my own fairly often. I’m neither skilled enough nor smart enough to make my own batteries.
I really am technologically inept. I’m vaguely proud of myself for having figured out how to use tumblr. I can photoshop and operate any camera handed me. and that is all. Forever.
I can’t even handle that texting that guesses your words.
No brainer. Mandatory piano lessons. I really think we need to include more of the arts in our education systems. Plus, you didn’t specify how long these lessons had to continue. If ever child has a required semester (or year) of piano and can branch off as they see fit from there, awesome. Learning piano requires you to learn how to read music at least at a rudimentary level and could easily be integrated into a larger class structure. It sounds loverly.
The shaved head thing would really just be creepy. The idea of an entire nation of people with the exact same look going on is really distopian (why does tumblr think I’m trying to say pianist here?) to me although it really is just a tiny thing.
Addendum: If I had originally been aware of the horror that is never ending piano lessons and recitals, I would have likely chosen the horrible looking distopian future (which would be, at least in appearance, full of skinheads).
Bright blue. i was originally thinking bright green but that’s really not that appetizing. I would love to be able to mix it up every time and snag a new color, but if I must be pigeonholed into one, blue is the winner.
This question is giving me strange spongebob flashbackes btw. I used to be a nanny and when that colored crabby patty episode came out I ended up dyeing foods in all sorts of crazy colors for the Spongebob obsessed kiddos for weeks.
Also, while searching for an image of the more vibrant crabby patties, I found this cake from aperture bakery and really just want to thank you for making this happen.
LOOK AT IT!
I would love to see a cheesy horror movie with Edgar Allen Poe. He’d be so amazed by the ridiculous special effects and so upset by the story lines. “What??? Is this supposed to be the Tell-Tale heart?? That’s not how I wrote it!”. It would really just be humorous.
I also really want to introduce him to the Edgar Allen Bro meme just to see his reaction once I explain the whole thing.
Magic, plain and simple magic.
Or because the glue needs air to dry and has none in the bottle.
I like the first explanation much better though.
Dog who sings lullabies. I like dogs already while I dislike most monkeys. Plus, there’s no down side to a lullaby singing dog; the signing gorilla could be a jerk though. After a day of him signing “You’re an idiot” at you over and over, you’d really regret not choosing the dog.
Always choose dog. ^ Look at that face. Look at it! and then love it appropriately.
