[Poll] Check One

[thefourthvine]

Internets! I am still compiling the Woobie Poll of Dooooooooom, but in the meantime, here is a PRESSING QUESTION that came up today while I was (yay!) visiting with norah. Plus some other pressing questions, because why have one forced choice when you can have five?

So. For the rest of your life, you can only have one of each of the following pairs. Which will it be? Which is the ONLY ONE YOU CAN HAVE FOREVER? (If you already live without one or more of these, then obviously your choice is easier. Like, I will have no trouble at all with question three, but question one might kill me.)

I am also taking suggestions for future horrible forced choices. I would like to find the hardest forced choice in all the land. (That isn't, you know, of great weight or import. No Sophie's Choices.)

You know, I figured that sex would be the winner but some people would choose sweets. But I was SO SURE that I would be among the few choosers of chocolate over coffee. My faith in my friends list and circle is restored!

*g* Like you, I don't drink coffee, so it was easy to choose chocolate. But I don't eat much of that, either; just once in a while.

OTOH, I couldn't choose between fat and sugar. My munching swings between them; without the contrast, either would pall very quickly.

There have been times in my life when I would have chosen sweets. But, well, ever since I figured out sex, I have come to the realization that, for me, sex comes before everything except books and someone else's well-being. Possibly there are other things but I haven't been able to think of them.

I suspect the chocolate vs coffee was so easy partly because I've rarely had anything besides dorm coffee, which is acceptable but not incredible. But I've had truly incredible chocolate! I know what I'd miss! Also, there are other vehicles for caffeine (without which I would be a very very sad Dhara, also a very sleepy and headachey one).
