Probably a philosopher, in the hope that it might make my experience of life more meaningful. History sounds like more fun, but there is some overlap. Definitely not a poet or novelist though.Quote:

Eh probably the first one. If I were an outstanding car salesman or accountant or something I could make money and keep my hobbies hobbies.
Would you throw out a tupperware container full of food you knew was rotten instead of opening it and cleaning it out?
No, I'd just sterilize it well.
Would you spend the night alone in a reputedly haunted house for a nominal reward ($50 American or so)?
I'd do it for free, though I wouldn't pass up the dollars if they were offered...
go without television for a year if it increased your ability to think? (there's a Seinfeld episode about that!)
Interesting. I don't believe in ghosts, but I wouldn't do it just because my time is worth more than that. Or so I like to fuss. But doing it for laughs is a great idea. :)
Um, yeah okay. I watch almost no TV as is. What did you say I get? To think more? Sure!
Would you let yourself become completely irresistible to the sex of your preference if it meant that you became significantly less intelligent (still within the normal range, but you know, an airhead)?
Being a misanthrope I never felt the need to be irresistible, that would just create a bunch of unwanted attention. So no I would not.
If you haod to choose one of your senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell) to give up, which would you choose?
Smell, then I'd not feel guilty about avoiding housework.
Would you volunteer to be the first person to go to Mars if there was no return journey?
oh but malmac, then your taste goes away too---although that still all sounds better than losing sight or hearing.
I wouldn't, no, but I understand there are lots of people who are interested in that.
would you trade a significant amount of years in your lifespan in order to achieve something great?
Nah.
Would you live in an area with three months of grueling heat and extreme humidity a year, as long it didn't get cold in the winter?
Heck no I love the cold
If you could shapeshift what animal would you be?
Cat - what an easy life! No housework...
If the British Antarctic Survey asked you to count Penguins for a year, in solitude, at minimum wage, would you do it?
That actually sounds kind of fun. I would totally do it.
You find a wallet with th ID of the person it belongs to and 500$. Would you keep the money or turn it in?
I'd return it. I've got plenty of wallets.
Would you advise someone you didn't really care for against an investment you were pretty sure was unsound? This is in an unofficial capacity. You're not the person's broker. And the person is not an enemy. You've just never really hit it off.
I'd turn it in, unless I was a cat, then I'd spend it on treats.
Your wild friend, who's a skilled yachtsman, steals a banker's yacht to sail to Antartica, to find the girl who left him to count penguins. Do you go with him?
No. Clearly they need some cuddle time.
Would you advise someone you didn't really care for against an investment you were pretty sure was disastrous? This is in an unofficial capacity. You're not the person's broker. And the person is not an enemy. You've just never really hit it off.
