Questions from jk_birr http://jk-birr.livejournal.com/3738.html
1. Aliens decide you are the only worthy person on the planet to recieve all the knowledge of the universe. immortality, medicines, arts, languages, all the good stuff. if you get it you will be able to solve all the earths problems. down side is to get it your have to leave earth for 100 years. go or stay? why?
Go.
Flipping freaking get to know everything, get to meet an alien species, and actually have the ability to make things better?
Go.
In a heart beat.
Now, if I had the chance, I would ask for two things. The first would be to say good-bye to friends and family, especially if I could show them the aliens and say "This is where I'm going, and I want to do this, so don't worry about me." I could imagine if I didn't have a chance to say good-bye it would cause a lot of pain for people wondering what happened to me (poof I'm gone without a word).
The second thing I'd ask or check is whether or not the aliens are sociable and touchable. A lot of human psychology is wrapped up in being a social creature, so a hundred years without a hug or any social interaction would literally drive a person insane. I might get to know everything, but I'd be a loony bird.
Knee jerk reaction, without a chance to think of the consequences: Go.
2. poof. your a telepath. use your powers for good or for personal gain?
Good.
I'm not entirely sure what I'd do for personal gain reading someone's mind. Largely, if its not mine or not any of my business, its still not mine or my business if I was a telepath.
3. your asked to lead a elite squad of super lemur ninjas that save the world. downside they need more fiber in their diets and are not toilet trained. do you lead? why?
Super lemur ninjas? That's a hard stretch of the imagination. I'd almost believe in super lemur pirates first. But I digress...
If it means saving the world, I will put up with a lot of shit (no pun intended).
4. a genie appears before you. you get to pick any vehicle and have it forever. no fuel issues. never will need to be maintained or repaired. it shall even break any laws of physics that some fandoms ignore. whats it going to be and why?
The Epoch from the video game "Chrono Trigger". It flies. It's a time machine. I'm not sure if it has guns or not, but having my own personal flying machine is awesome for getting to places (Denver for Christmas, anyone?) and then add to it that its a frigging time machine means I can go check out places in the future/past/recent past (how many times have you wanted to go to two events at the same time? Enter the time machine! W00T!).
The amount of money I would save on air line tickets plus hotel (i.e. I could jump through time and go home at night, return to the event the next day, etc) and the places that I could go would ROCK my existence.
5. you get to live in either LA or Miami your whole life. all needs and wants provided for. but you can never leave. where are you going to live and why?
This is actually a hard question because I've never been to Miami but I have been to LA. I can get hurricanes in Miami or earthquakes in LA. I know LA is infamous for traffic and pollution, but Miami has its own hot bed of criminal types.
Ack.
I'm also not keen on the idea of never getting to leave. My freedom to go to new places trumps the ability to have every want and need cared for because I'd eventually go stir crazy from never going anywhere else.
Gun to my head, have to answer now, I'd choose LA, since that would put me closer to family and more likely for visits.
