truth or dare, question #2
This question comes to us courtesy of Tony…
This question can be answered several ways.
If the goal is to remove someone terrible from the rest of society, I would have to pick carefully. I would do my civic duty to remove the most dirty, useless waste of flesh from the world community that I could - and this spot would go to one of the two people I’ve known in my life that I consider to be “bad people”. I don’t feel the need to name names, and if you know me well you may very likely know who one or both of them are. Plus, if I started starving on the island, I could kill and eat them without feeling like I was detracting from the world’s gene pool in any real noticeable way, although I might have to pretend it was chicken in order to get it down.
If the goal is just to have someone I enjoy being with, I have several options. I might want to pick someone that I’ve known for a LONG time, because otherwise I would have no way to gauge whether I would be able to handle being AROUND them for a long time. (Does that make sense?) In that case, it would have to be Bill, since he’s the one person in my life that I’ve spent the MOST time with. He’s the only best friend I’ve ever kept for more than a year - he actually broke all the previous records four times over. Plus, he’s rash and rather fearless and wouldn’t mind crawling up trees and into caves and doing dangerous shit to help get me food. That would be good.
Alternately, I could pick someone that I would LIKE to spend a lot of quality time with but haven’t had the chance. Someone whose philosophical ponderings could keep me interested for years to come. Someone I feel like I could just keep talking to forever, because we’d always find new things to talk about. In this model, it would probably be either Ryan P. C. (I miss you, baby. What does Japan have that I don’t?) or good old Mickey, both of whom can talk up a storm about things I normally might not even consider, and who keep me constantly fascinated with the odd and mysterious machinations of their minds.
Of course, if the goal is to bring someone who wants nothing more than to be with me for the rest of their life, and who will take extreme joy in every hot desert day, then I would bring Piper. All of the people I listed would get restless after awhile and would want to leave, but she’d be more than happy to just have me and beach for the rest of time. That would be okay too.
I’d pick you.
hrmmm
this is a tough one
the gut reaction is you, m’dear
but i think it’d be kinda cliche
being that this is your blog and all
so then i’m gonna have to go with the chasmanaught
it’d be a lot of hiphop and smacktalk
I very nearly put you down, but decided against it because we already know that you and I could never date, and I didn’t want to pull you away from your adoring throng of ladies ;)
waitaminute
who said we had to date/procreate with the person we’re on the island with…i didn’t see that requirement
if that’s the case
i’m gonna have to pick from one of the many devils rendered angelic
by my loving hand
no, no, no. That’s not what I meant. I just didn’t want to deprive you of all that. Y’know. I wanted to leave the Cruz in his element, if you know what I’m saying. ‘Cause if you and I were on the island, I’d just be thinking about how much you’d want to be where the action was, and I’d feel guilty for wishing you there in the first place.
If the rules were that you had to get it on with this person … I’d have to re-evaluate a bit myself.
I realized sometime over the course of today that I was now obligated to answer the question I posed to you.
I’m glad you said it first, though. I couldn’t pick anyone because I wouldn’t want to wish them being stuck with just me on a desert island.
(This can also be taken as a deft avoidance of the question.)
Deft my ass. More like pansy-assed =). So impose away, we require a real answer.
I’m imposing.
By the way lish, thanks… aww you really do like me! (Maybe this means I need to go after Ryan with a pipe ;).)
Tony, we’re still waiting…
nah, I wouldn’t try it. No offense, Mickey, but you’d be toast. ;)
I’d pick my wife, J. Lord knows we’d love more time alone together, just being able to hang out and be a happy couple in love. Without kids around.
(Um, sorry if that was too sappy.)
I also wouldn’t feel guilty for removing her from society. Society really hasn’t ever been too good to her, and there would be little love lost.
HEY ALICIA LOOK I’M FINALLY REPLYING
…
I’d pick my mom. Of the friends that I have and have had, I don’t know who I can call a lifelong friend. Situations and circumstances just force a lot of the friendships to fall by the wayside, and I don’t know if there are any that really stand out in my mind.
No offense to any of my friends that might feel otherwise about our relationship—I am just traditionally insecure.
So I’d pick my mom because she’s been one of the few constants in my life and the one to leave the deepest impression.
HEY TONY LOOK I’M LOOKING
Wow, that’s cute. Thank you for sharing!
i love you….and my kitty…purrr

Ummm, is this our friend from 62.213.67.122 again?
I doubt it, I blocked that slime.

I almost forgot - it was decided at some point that having Mickey with you on a desert island would be good because you would probably get rescued. (Maybe by aliens, you never know.) And, being with RPC would also be good because he and his badass Eagle Scout self could knit us a life raft out of crab shells and monkey fur and we could row to safety.
