Game: Pick one
Definitely night. Kids are in bed and I can close my eyes for the first time all day.Mountains or beach?
Beach, haven't tried mountain climbing. I hope I can experience it one day.having only two kids or having 5 and more kids?
Well currently I have two kids and love it, but would like to have four. If I had the money, I would definately have more.Pond or Lake?
I love singing, so famous recording artist hands down.Series reading: One main protagonist (ie Mercy Thomspson or Eve Dallas) or different couple every time (ie Feehan's Carpathians or Adams' & Clamp's Sazi)
Sookie all the way! Doormat Bella is about the worst heroine ever.Ione's Demonica series or Meade's Succubus series?
Vamps definitely. The sex scenes in Were-books are too much like bestiality for me to really enjoy them. As for sex with something cold and not living? I know lots of people who do that with Mr. Plastic Fantastic.one hour of hard exercise per day or strict diet?
I'd prefer the exercise if I had the time, but alas I don't and have to use the diet.Hot Chocolate or Hot Cider?
Have only experienced Thunderstorm and it was terrifying, so I'm glad we're spared of snowstorms.short hair or long hair (preferred hairstyle)
On me? Since I shave my head completely, I guess short hair is the way to go. On a woman? It depends on the woman. I know a woman who keeps her hair buzzed to less than an inch. The austere sharp angles only accentuate her long lean neck and almond shaped eyes. Looks fantastic on her. I have another friend who takes her long hair, pulls it back in a ponytail, ties a knot with it, and runs a couple of chopsticks (I know they aren't really chopsticks but they look like them) through the knot to hold it together. I can't picture her any other way.With an egg and cheese sandwich: Bacon or Sausage?
I'll have to go with businesswoman (just not the Janet Reno power suit). Leather mini and bustier is what most businesswomen wear, right?CNN or Fox news?
(but the real question is bacon lip balm or bacon lipstick? I think most guys would like either.)I'll go with sandals in the summer and sneakers in the winter.
Which is worse? Wrong number calls to your cell phone during foreplay or during your favorite TV show.
Since I would never answer any phone during foreplay (duh!) I'll go with TV showHot bath or hot shower?
Hot shower. The pummeling stream of water so hot that you can't stand it to be hitting any one part for more than a few seconds before you have to redirect the stream feels exhilarating. Besides, helping someone lather all the nooks and crannies in a shower is so much easier than in a tub. I have a friend with a shower in the master bath that is eight feet by ten feet with a stone bench, a swivel arm waterfall head from above and multiple sprayers covering two corners with head to toe jets. We used it as a backdrop for a great photo shoot. Ever since then, I've fantasized about visiting that shower with my wife when nobody was home. So yeah, I'll go with shower.*to defend my phone call position above: Most people who have my cell number know how little I enjoy talking on the phone. If my phone rings at an odd hour (after 10 PM or before 6 AM) I'm going to assume it is important enough to interrupt. I get 3-4 unexpected calls during those hours a year. Middle of the day there's no way I'm picking up.
Steaks: rare and bloody or well done and ruined? (no prejudice in that question whatsoever)
Rare and bloody... I'm a fan of beef carpaccio(sp?)*when you describe a shower like that, what's not to like!
Sushi or not???
sashimi all the way baby! Slivers of fresh raw fish I like. But put it in a roll with avocado and/or cucumber and it has made a turn into the no-go zone.Condiments for fries: malt vinegar or ketchup
Huh? What?...oh, I was still fantasizing about the shower... Mayo actually (no I have no need of a working heart in the future). I'll say ketchup in the interest of the game.
Vodka or gin?
Martini's? VodkaGimlet? Gin
Grapefruit Gimlet:
Fresh squeezed juice of 1/2 grapefruit
Fresh squeezed juice of 1/2 lime
Gin
Simple syrup
Put two cubes in a pint glass. Fill to top of ice with decent gin (I like Tanguerey or Bombay Saphire). Add fresh squeezed juices. There should be about two to three inches left at the top of the glass. Fill with simple syrup (tons of sugar dissolved in water). Shake a couple of times and enjoy. If you really like you can garnish with a mint leaf or two.
Having people pay you false compliments when you know they don't feel that way or to have an accomplishment ignored when you are proud?
Oh, you suck! That one's hard. I want people to praise my well deserved greatness at all times, dammit! But since I don't like fake people I'll have to be ignored. Not so bad really with my new Gimlet in hand.First dibs or last laugh? (stole this one)
First dibs. I don't play seconds let alone last. If you are talking about humor, 'He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.'Pickers choice - since some might feel offended by answering the first question, I'll give an innocuous alternative question.
1. Which is worse? Finding out your mother turned tricks in the 70's or your lover made 19 gay porn feature films last year?
or
2. Pasta sauces - Red or White?
Canoeing, although I tend to tip it and go swimming instead.To answer Jim's question above:
I don't have a problem with what my mother did in her past, so I have to go with saying that the gay porn might be a shock to me.
And I love White pasta sauce over the red
If you were dared pick one of the following to do, which would you choose:
dine and ditch or steal an item from a store?
Steal an item from a store. I'll be lazy to do a getaway once I'm full. : )wearing glasses or contact lenses?
Glasses... I'm too lazy to deal with contacts. Put 'em in, take 'em out, clean 'em up. Ugh, I'm tired already!Lazy Sunday afternoon or day full of activities?
...Lazy Sundays here I am!Night at the ballet for... Even though I do martial arts I've always dreamed of being a dancer *sigh*
Action Flick or Chick Flick?
"Real men wear pink and watch chick flicks"... Just don't tell my husband I said that!Kiera Knightly for sure! I keep Pride and Prejudice on my iPod at all times so I can watch certain scenes whenever the mood strikes
Superman or Batman?
Penney, I'll have you know I look good in pink, watch chick flicks, and even cry at movies. But by law I have to say action movie. Sorry, just how it is.Ian Somerhalder wins. First he's better looking and second he never appeared in a daytime soap.
Xavier Hollander or Heidi Fleiss?
lol Photojim, have goggling it and my pick is Xavier HollanderOk!
Sebastian St Vincent or Marcus Marsden, Lord of Westcliff?
(both from Lisa Kleypas book ^^)
Marcus Marsden, Lord of WestcliffHeroic Duke (like St Ives) or Tragically flawed Hero Vampire (like Vishous)
Having never read one of her books, I'll go with Jericho Barrons only for the totally fake name.Lacy and decorative or sports and functional?
Give me liberty or give me boxers! But keep those constraining briefs away from me. - man's gotta' breathe.J.D. Robb or Nora Roberts?
Demons. Angels generally don't do much sexin' in the books I've read.Movie premiere in Hollywood or opening night on Broadway?
Opening night on Broadway.Never experienced one but would like to.
steady, 8-5 job or crazy schedule, on-call, type of work?
