thursday thumb-twiddler:

would you prefer to be blind or deaf?

blind. i think. even though i would miss seeing my website (egads) and bs face (not to mention my future children), i think i would be able to work around being blind better than being deaf. having to learn a whole new language just to express myself is daunting and seems like much more work. and i would be very sad if i couldnt have verbal conversations with people.

if you could transfer to your mate the one trait that you possess that you wish s/he did, what would it be?

the ability to correctly and quickly articulate feelings, ideas, and thoughts into verbal words. he gets so frustrated that he cannot find 'the' word to describe what he is thinking, and when in the midst of a heavy discussion, he can take five minutes or more to think of the best way to phrase his next sentence. which can be quite irritating, because i speak pretty quickly and rarely need much time to find the words to describe my thoughts.

if you could fly in a hot air balloon over any city in the world, what city would you choose?

i dont think i would choose a city. ive seen paris from the eiffel tower, and though beautiful, it was just another city. ive seen homer from my dads small float plane, and the ocean and mountains were much more interesting than the city. so it would have to be some beautiful vista that i have not yet had the chance to see. perhaps antarctica (i know the balloon-thing is out of the question in that cold of temperature... but this is an 'if' question anyway).
