Choose your own adventure, 16th-century Italy style.

Ladies. Let's pretend for a moment that you are the daughter of a fairly wealthy Italian nobleman. You are of marriageable age--say, 15-17 years old. You have two choices, basically. You can:

A) Get married.
B) Join a convent.

( If you chose A... )

the internet is for porn, no it is not a boy, curiouser and curiouser, writing, audience participation, this is why we can't have nice things, thinky, friends, nikki is a girl, queen of the world, omg is that a boy?, yes seriously, what is wrong with nikki, unsupervised tagging, nerdilicious, do not want, creativity, random, be excellent, boys, books, nikki is a dork

Clearly A, because then I will marry the nobleman, have terrifying adventures as I discover that he is, in fact, either already married but keeps his wife locked up and pretends she is dead, or haunted, or has changed his name to Evade the Law, which will eventually catch up with him. Widowed and probably in terrible peril, my true love will save me at the last minute, and I will promise to marry him before I find out that he has, through a series of unlikely but completely legal events, inherited a title, huge tracts of land and piles of cash, thus cancelling out all objections my parents may have had.

This is why I friended you. I knew when I saw you'd commented that the answer would be COMPLETELY AWESOME.

Emily St. Aubert has nothing on me.

For me it would be A1: Marry the rich nobleman, somewhere along the way I'd meet the love of my life (who would be an artist). Then start a friendship with this man, before starting up on art lessons (you know, to pass the long days while the hubby is at work making more money).

As the relationship with my artist lover increases/deepens, then that's where things would get tricky; we would plot how to off my husband and make it look like it was either a) a natural death ob b) someone (maybe a competitor or someone working underneath him) was out to get him. Given that I am his widow, I'd inherit a nice amount of money/land/ect. and can live happily with my artist lover *nods*
