Vs. : A Realization of Life and its Quirks, Part III

1). Rope Swing vs. Inner-tube : Rope swing. Ropes give unique rushes of adrenaline and childhood reminders at your (or below) feet. Inner-tubes are a snowy blast, but cannot be stopped unlike swings - can get frightening at times.

2), Extrovert vs. Introvert : Extrovert. While both types have their pros and cons, who would want to be an introvert? What a boring life they would have to lead! Depends on the range of each influence people are, but I'd rather be the life of the party than the anti-social, bookworm.

3). Beach vs. Mountain : Beach. I'm not a very "sunny lover", but there's nothing I hate more than climbing to reach the final goal of overlooking a rocky cliff. Appealing to some, not to me. The beach has nice people, generally good food, rocks and shells, and flat ground!

4). Wizard vs. Dragon : Dragon. Wizards are cool and can cast spells and all, but c'mon, in theory, dragons are cooler than 'em all (no irony intended).

5). Jupiter vs. Saturn : Jupiter. The bigger the better, am I correct? So maybe it would be nice being named after a Roman God, but personally, I would never want to be compared to another something in my species with "___-like". If I were a planet, I'd prefer to be Jupiter.

6). Bear vs. Ferret Swarm : Bear. No idea what a "ferret swarm" is, but I like the big, scary animals that seemingly look friendly a good majority of the time. That's creepy-awesome.

7). Love vs. Lust : Love. Lust only goes as far as pleasure by the minutes, while love is long-time pleasure, involving both physical AND emotional factors, such as trust, and deep connection. Lust in life is a waste, even though it may be enticing. Love stays around for the long haul.

8). Lion vs. Alligator vs. Cobra : Lion. First off: Cobras are just plain freaky. I don't get a good vibe from snakes. Secondly, alligators do no good. They are ugly lookin' things that have quite dangerous attitudes. Lions win above all animals--beastly thangs they are!

9). Boxers vs. Briefs : Boxers. Briefs are a little too "girly-lookin'" for me, and a bit "mommy-lovin'". I'm used to long crotch pieces on men - not bikini-cuts.

10). Skiing vs. Snow-boarding : Skiing. Snow-boarding is uneasy and challenging. Skiing is exhilarating without being too dangerous and jumpy (well... unless you crash into a tree on accident).

11). White Meat vs. Dark Meat : NEITHER! The only question I can omit because of personal preference. I am veggie, and planning to keep it that way. However, to be fair: I suppose white meat. I still eat fish.

12). Destiny vs. Free-will : Destiny. Free-will cannot triumph over destiny. God/the universe controls all free will of humans. You can prevent getting in to a car accident, but your crash tendencies were determined far before you were a functioning, moving human being.

13). Ship vs. Train : Train. Ferrys and private boats can be extremely exciting, but unless this is a cruise ship we're talking about, I prefer taking the train for travel. The train is quaint, not rocky or nauseating, and has friendly people/great food.

14). Beatles vs. Stones : Beatles. Both bands are great, but the bull haircut is fantastic and adorable on young men. Music is good from both, but The Beatles are better hands-down.

15). Fork vs. Spoon : Fork. Forks better themselves so they can beat the evil spoons! No, but really: forks can pick up most all foods, but spoons aren't so clever.

16). Lab vs. Rat : Lab. Science is pretty interesting and rats are nasty creatures. I would rather be the person that does the experiments on the rats than the creature that gets tortured (it may seem selfish, but c'mon, wouldn't we all deep down?).

17). Speed vs. Strength : Speed. Speed is super-duper! I'd rather be the fastest competitor or typer instead of the slow weight-lifter. Strength doesn't help me personally as much as speed.

18). Fiction vs. Nonfiction : Nonfiction. I love reading magazines, articles and biographies/memoirs. Fiction novels and boring stories do not amuse me, unless the characters are based off of real people. What can I say? I'm a realist!

19). My Place vs. Yours : My Place. Sexually and emotionally, I feel safer "going back to my place" instead of trying to trust the other person and their antics I presumably, in this situation, would not know very well.

20). Eiffel Tower vs. Statue of Liberty : Eiffel Tower. While this is a toss-up, considering these two pieces of artwork were created by the same inventor, I still pick the coolest design of them all. So maybe the statue is a bit bigger or "creative", but the tower stands with an incredible ease and beauty.

21). Earthquake vs. Flood : Earthquake. I have lived through them before, including a big 6.6 shocker in 2002. I am trained well to deal with earthquakes and react quite calmly/swiftly in that type of emergency. A flood would absolutely devastate me and my home. Besides, I can't swim that well.

22). Palm Tree vs. Evergreen : Evergreen. Considering I live in the home of the evergreen trees, I feel it would be rude not to pick them. Another reason I pick evergreens is the fact that they represent rain and life, palm trees are found in extremely humid, dry climates that are no-no's for me.

23). Aussie vs. Kiwi : Aussie. I haven't had much representation of New Zealand folk, but plenty of positive interactions with Australians. I LOVE the Aussies! Absolutely love 'em. One of my favorite bloggers resides in Australia (Karen Cheng), did I mention?

24). Healthy vs. Wealthy : Healthy. Money isn't everything to my down-to-earth soul, even though I sure do love my electronics. If I had to pick to marry an honorable, broke person over a stuck-up, rich snob, I would marry my true love in a second, just so long as we could live long, healthy and happy lives.

25). Sigmund Freud vs. The Unconscious : Omit question - haven't studied enough about this concept quite yet.

26). Bath vs. Shower: Shower. I've never been that much of a bath person... never enjoy sudsy bubble-baths, or as Chandler from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. said, "sittin' there, soaking in your own filth." I like water I can get clean in, and jump in/jump out once the job is done.

27). Vanilla vs. Kinky : Kinky. Perhaps not *that* wild, but I'd rather be all the colors of the rainbow in the bedroom and make my partner pleased with variety than being stiff as a board, never spicing up my sex life. Sex is about love and intimacy, but it is always about pleasuring your partner and being welcome to new ideas.

28). Faith vs. Luck : Faith. Luck is too shaky to put your trust into. Luck is as shaky as rolling a die and hoping for a 6. I would rather have faith in God, or whatever the situation may be, instead of hoping on broken threads. Faith is knowing everything will turn out right, even if it doesn't go your way.

29). Jackson Pollock vs. Vincent van Gogh vs. Pablo Picasso : Omit question - don't know enough about Jackson Pollock.

30). Passive vs. Aggressive : Aggressive. Personally, I don't understand people that say poor things about others behind closed doors, and cannot stand confrontation. If you're going to start a fire, be prepared to take the heat! I live for proving the ignorant wrong, not for screaming in your face, but for telling you that your way of thinking isn't correct. We all have our opinions, but those who are reluctant to share theirs are weaker, in my mind.

Remember this: none of my answers are intended to offend. Vs. encourages quick judgment and stereotyping to answer questions without spending a dragged out amount of time contemplating whether an orange is better than an apple!
