Giving certain or not, valley the penalty to try?

You just jumped out of an airplane and realized your parachute isn't going to open. You have 15 seconds before you hit the ground. What do you scream out loud?
At terminal velocity, you can't even hear yourself screaming over the wind. I generally avoid airplanes anyway. I have no faith in parachutes.
You're given the opportunity to run one Fortune 500 company for one year. Which one do you pick and why?
It doesn't matter. I'd either purposefully or accidentally run it into the ground inside of six months. I'm not exactly corporate oligarchy material.

Cher, Madonna, or Lady Gaga? Why?
I've followed Cher's career since my childhood, and my parents met her when she filmed Silkwood with Meryl Streep. So of these three talented ladies I'd have to choose Cher. However, I am impressed by Lady Gaga's recent combination of publicity stunts and philanthopy, bringing attention to Don't Ask Don't Tell and individuality and the like. I admire her spunk. Madonna used to espouse amoral philandering which I begrudgingly respected, until she became a real mother, at which point she got religion and turned into a hypocritical waste of phlegm.

She is your significant other, friend w/benefits. U *CARE* about her. She is crying uncontrollably. You don't yet know why. 1) How do you feel when you *FIRST* realize she is crying? 2) What is the *FIRST* thing you think to do? 3)What do u actually do?
1) "oh great NOW what?" 2) ask her what's wrong. 3) ask her what's wrong.
do you think formspring should tell you who your followers are? If so,forward this question to all your friends on formspringer <----lol
I think formspring should tell me when I have questions. These have been sitting here for three weeks. Or maybe I should go here more often. I'd totally forgotten this was here.
IF I were male, I think I would be quite different as my parents would've raised me differently. Unfettered male, bane of every virgin, holy terror & probably dead by 30.Have you ever wondered how your life would be different if you were the opposite sex?
If I were the opposite sex, I'd probably be a lesbian, so I doubt I'd be getting any more or less sex than I am right now.

What was your favorite year?
1985 was a good year for movies, but I like to think in terms of my life, the best is yet to come. Here's hoping I haven't experienced my favorite year yet.
Cats or Dogs?
When married, I reluctantly became a dog person for the sake of my wife, but I currently do not own any pets nor do I wish to do so. I have allergies that pet dander sets off. If I must be one or the other, I dislike dogs less than I do cats, but that's a slim matter of degrees.
Do you believe in ghosts?
No, but that's a cheap answer. I no longer believe in anything. I have come to the conclusion based on experiential and anecdotal evidence that "belief" and "faith" are dangers of The Human Condition and am experimenting with a lifestyle that doesn't involve belief or faith. There's no proof to the concept of souls, or an afterlife, or anything supernatural or paranormal, which rules out ghosts as even remotely possible.
What music are you listening to today?
Listened @JedWhedon and @TSFMusic past couple weeks and am seriously considering buying their latest albums soon as I get some disposable income. Woke up this morn w/Men At Work in my head. Haven't listened to much music today. Was mostly watching tv shows on @Hulu. Come to think of it, I did karaoke to a couple Billy Joel songs in the privacy of my home (no audience) and watched a YouTube video of XTC's "Dear God" a few hours ago.
Whiskey with a beer chaser or straight up?
I'll just take the beer. Not a whiskey man. Prefer fruit vodka drinks if I'm going to do hard liquor, but I generally don't mix beer & spirits. If I start w/vodka I don't then chase it down w/beer. That'd just make me sick.
If you were a Star Trek [or Star Wars] character, which one would it be?
I would be a new character, loosely based on myself, in that particular universe. I couldn't play Jabba The Hut or Wil Riker, but I could imagine someone like me in those fantastical settings. Contemplations beyond that would lead to unpopular fanfic. Look up "Mary Sue" for more enlightenment on that idea.
what is the riskiest decision you ever made in your life?
Not committing suicide some twenty years ago. It's still far riskier to live than it would have been to give up so easily.
He dropped 3 stones on my stomach. One settled into the hollow of belly button. They were rubies, dark, uncut, valuable. "To help you along the way" he said. I've never sold them. What's the most precious thing given to you? By whom? Do you still have it?
The most precious thing I can recall as a gift was when my dad bought me my first computer. I no longer have it, but he did so at some cost back then, and the education I got from having it in my possession has since served me well.
