Would you rather?

There’s nothing quite like walking on the warm sand, enjoying the breeze on your face, playing in the waves, and then getting your face slammed into the ground by an unexpected wave. I had a wonderful day at the beach hanging out with my sister. I drove down to L.A. yesterday (an 8 hour drive by yourself is not the best thing when you are trying to keep your mind from thinking about things…nothing to do but think while driving solo) I came to hang out with my sister and will be leaving early tomorrow morning to go home. I have only seen her once since I’ve been home from Africa, so it has been great spending time with her. Even if it is so short. Aside from the beach, we also spent time playing double solitaire (a thrilling game), and cruising the Avenue of the Presidents (which was also thrilling).

But the most thrilling thing we have been playing is the “would you rather? game”. You know, like “Would you rather give up eating apples or oranges?” “Would you rather eat something out of the bathroom trash or lick a cat’s butt?” (My sister asked that one…and then tried to change it to something more happy like pick a daisy or climb a tree). Would you rather be eternally pooping or a turtle pooping? Would you rather be able to read people’s thoughts or be invisible? Anyways, we laid on the beach for hours playing this game. Through this, I discovered that my favorite letter of the alphabet is R, followed closely by H, but for some reason, the letter S ranks higher than I expected. I didn’t expect to have any attachment to the letter S. Strange.

Would you rather break your back or get your heart broken?

Think about it. (and then comment!)

  1. I’ll take the heartbreak anyday.

    What are you avoiding thinking about?

    seeing as how Ive had my heart broken.. and I know that later on.. you learn and grow from it.. I would say the heartbreak also.. your back only becomes weaker with a break. .your heart becomes stronger…

  3. mb says:

    Yeah, I also go with heartbreak. A broken back just sucks, but a broken heart means you loved someone.

  4. Rhonda says:

    So, you guys are saying that you would rather have your wives walk out on you with another man than break your back and have her be there for you while you recover?

  5. Kari says:

    I think I might pick the broken back, Rhonda. I don’t want to get any stronger.

    i can’t decide…but i’m commenting so you’ll know i’ve been here.

    I think broken back, assuming I was in a relationship at the time. Then I could have someone take care of me, he could learn patience and it would be a growing experience, just as much as having your heart broken.

  8. kristen says:

    i’m going to go with the heartbreak, because that means that i’ve loved and lived. the broken back could just be from slipping on the sidewalk. not a cool story.

    Back. Your heart is who you are – if you lose that, you are already dead.
