Getting to Know You: Would You Rather...

Laura S. · 03-03-16, 08:48 AM

It has been awhile since one of these threads. I thought that this format was kind of cool. Note there are several fitness-related questions (to keep this thread on topic, of course). Don't feel like you have to answer them all. Pick the ones you like the most:

Would you rather…

Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek?

Read on a Kindle or paperback book?

Go to the theater or a movie?

Hike or bike?

Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska?

Choose a free trip or money?

Swim in a pool or the ocean?

Watch sports or play sports?

Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek? I have gone to see more Star Trek movies, although my favorite movies of that genre were the original Star Wars movies.

Read on a Kindle or paperback book? I buy books as cheaply as I can. Sometimes, it's a "real" book. Sometimes, it's a Kindle. For me, it's about the story, not the format it's delivered in. However, when I'm traveling, it's the Kindle the whole way.

Go to the theater or a movie? These days, I prefer to go out to the theater and watch movies at home.

Hike or bike? If I did either, I'd rather bike. I always enjoyed riding a bike more than walking/hiking.

Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska? I've been to both and want to go back to both. They are both beautiful in their own way.

Choose a free trip or money? I'd choose the money and then plan a trip that I want to go on.

Trip planning is one of my favorite things to do and with DH's eating sensitivities, we stay in apartments rather than hotels.

Swim in a pool or the ocean? I'd rather play in the ocean than swim in a pool.

Watch sports or play sports? Watch sports. I'm not an organized sports playing kind of person.

Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek? Star Wars but that's not really a favorite either

Read on a Kindle or paperback book? Kindle

Go to the theater or a movie? Movie

Hike or bike? Hike

Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska? Hawaii

Swim in a pool or the ocean? Ocean

Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek?
Star Trek. There are just so many of them, and each is different and wonderful in their own way.

Read on a Kindle or paperback book?
Paperback book

Go to the theater or a movie?
Theater

Hike or bike?
Hike. I can take in the scenery better.

Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska?
Alaska, as I've been to Hawaii.

Choose a free trip or money?
Free trip, if it was somewhere I wanted to go. If someone gave me money, I'd probably pay off bills and never get to have fun on a trip.

Swim in a pool or the ocean?
Neither. I don't like the water.

Watch sports or play sports?
Neither.

ETA: unless it's kiddie sports. I could watch kids play sports all day, they are so cute just running around having fun. Adults can suck all the joy out of watching or playing sports. But I would play sports by myself - racquetball, handball, rollerblading. If you consider those sports

Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek? Star Wars (but not the prequels). I have never been able to get into Star Trek.

Read on a Kindle or paperback book? Well, I have a Nook so I prefer to use a Nook or read a book.

Really, it doesn't matter to me. I held out on getting an e-reader for a long time because I preferred actual books, but I really do love my Nook too.

Go to the theater or a movie? I like both, but I have more opportunities to go to the movies.

Hike or bike? Bike

Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska? I'd like to visit both someday.

Choose a free trip or money? My MIL would love to give us family vacations for Christmas with her and FIL, my BIL, SIL and their kids and DH, DD & I, but then there would be strings attached. She has said that because she would be paying, we would have to do whatever she wants. So I would probably choose the money. Then I could always use it to travel.

Swim in a pool or the ocean? In a pool. I can't stand sand in my bathing suit.

Watch sports or play sports? I love to watch College Football and I like baseball.
