"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"
Oooh. this is difficult.
Think I have to go with... dinosaurs.
umm... teleportation or telepathy?

Teleportation. Telepathy might be useful sometimes, but most of the time I really don't want to know what people are thinking. And it'd be downright nightmarish if you couldn't turn it off at will.
Bagels or muffins?
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?
Coffee-flavored muffins with chocolate chips in them. (haven't had one in a long time.)
though bagels are yum, too!
Chickens or ducks?

Thunderstorm. With hail and wind and rain and whatnot. I really should move somewhere that has more interesting weather, though the downside to that is the other half of the extreme. The sun is not my friend.
Train or airplane?

Rather lose the hair for sure!
I -have- had all my hair fall out (though it wasn't all in a single night) and though I sure missed my eyebrows, I'm way more horrified at the thought of losing teeth. (all of them?!?)
aliantha- All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!
Cockatoo or macaw? <3

Beheading.
I'd rather run around for a minute or two like a, what a minute a lot like a, headless chicken than that of a slow eye-popping, black-tongued, gurgling, kicking and screaming strangulation.
Cooked in a big black pot and eaten by cannibals or sacrificed on an Aztec alter?
Let's go a bit more existential.
Ending up in a Buddhist hell (a temporary super bad place), or being "left behind" (the Rapture happens and you do not ascend). And on this question, you must suppose both could honestly happen, so no fair saying "doesn't matter, both are fictitious."
Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

I had that dream recently!! It wasn't all of them, it was all on one side. I read years ago that losing teeth in a dream is about life feeling out of control. Duh!!! Only always.
Mirror. Caesures sound too crazy-making.
Firefly, or the X-Files?

Neither? Please? I'd say chicken pox, but I don't know if I had it when I was young, and I know a couple of people who recently got it as adults and it's seriously not fun. But then, measles definitely sucks too, so I guess I'll stick with chicken pox. Do Not Want.
I could take this in a more pleasant direction, but why?
Appendicitis or kidney stones?
