Ask me three questions.

Ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want, and I will answer truthfully and fully. Then I want you to go to your journal, and copy and paste this, allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything.

1. I was treating this question as one of being the last man on earth, in which case I was going to talk about fertility optimization. But reading more carefully it seems that you're saying I and the person I choose are going to die in a few days in this scenario, along with everybody else. I hate spending entire days at a time with one person. That sounds like a pretty bad way to go instead of saying goodbye to everyone.

I would choose Rachel. She's been better when I'm depressed than anyone else so far, and I would never want her to be alone at that time. When she and I got divorced I had a great deal of plans for the future, but if I have no future then I may as well call the plans off. Kind of like the wedding at the end of Joe Vs. The Volcano just before he jumps in. (Have you seen that movie?) "What's the problem? You afraid of the commitment? You'll have to love me and honor me for about thirty seconds. You can't handle that?" ;^)

Parenthetically, let me add this. Questions involving the words "only one" and "love the most" are very popular in these questions. It seems pretty cruel and exclusionist to me. Life doesn't actually demand such choices, only people do (the people who are, in your words, "corny and off-the-wall"). There are so many worthy people in this world, that no one would ever, ever, ever be alone, if only we would all take turns and not demand permanence. Such a simple concept, "taking turns"... we learn it in kindergarten. Instead we make a game of musical chairs where the people who are still standing when the music stops are just stuck with what's left. Where is it written that I have to lock myself and my loved one away in a neat little white picket cage? Oh I forgot, it's written in our genes for raising children.

2. Drown. It seems less painful.

3. Something I've done that frightened someone else? Or me? My life has mostly been risk-averse. I've never been in a haunted house and I've only ridden three very tiny roller coasters. A thrill seeker, I am not. But I attended PCC and graduated. That's pretty frightening to sane people.

okay so 3 was kinda open ended wasn't it? Okay let me try it again.
3. What is the scariest thing you have ever done in your life that you were truly frightened of and done. That you bit your tongue or squeezed your hand (etc.) and FORCED yourself to do through your fear.

Difficult to rate. I've very rarely felt like I was in actual danger. A year or two ago I went to visit samuraijkm in Philadelphia and took a wrong turn. I got lost in a ghetto in Trenton New Jersey in the middle of the night and had to call him from a phone booth. But I didn't have to make any choices there. I went on those three roller coasters I mentioned, which took a great effort of will because I hate it so much, but I don't know if that counts as "truly" frightened. Oh wait, I know! Jumping off a high-dive in a swimming class I had to take in college.

Thanks....I think
