slacker sunday: would you rather...
Would you rather...
Be stuck in a fully stocked bomb shelter alone for five years
I ALMOST said the bomb shelter because I am all about being on my own but then the thought of not seeing my husband and kid almost sent me over the edge. Then again, I wouldn't actually be SEEING anyone for 5 years either way. hmmmm ;) But I'll go with losing my voice and sight because I can still hold them and love them and besides, the idea of me having no voice probably would make my husband a happy man. ;D
Oh gosh that's a hard one. I would hate being away from my children and my husband. But It would kill me to not be able to touch their faces and not see them. Hold them and not to speak to them. That actually brings tears to my eyes thinking about that so I'm going Be stuck in a fully stocked bomb shelter alone for five years.
Like Traci, initially I was all, "Er, bomb shelter, DUH."
And then I thought of the extreme isolation and solitary confinement and OMG THE CLAUSTROPHOBIA!! (...and I'm not even claustrophobic! That I know of, that is.)
But, really, the thought of not being with loved-ones, not talking and laughing (okay, fine, no voice...but you know what I mean! :D), hugging...
The bomb shelter. I COULD GET SO MUCH WRITING DONE. And I could get better at painting and drawing, and learn to sew, and READ SO MANY BOOKS. Seriously, books are all I need :D
Bomb shelter. Hands down. I'd get so much sh*t done and then I could spend the rest of my life hanging out with people and wouldn't have to feel guilty about neglecting my own projects!
Easy decision...I would choose losing my voice and sight. I would still be able to hear the ones I love and be able to touch them. I enjoy my alone time but being alone every day for five years would make me insane.
Shelter! If it had internet I would be able to contact my friends and I also don't mind at all reading books for 5 years and maybe working on some kind of project.. hmm.. If it was hearing and voice I would go for option 2, but I would survive if I lost my sight.
Losing voice and sight for five years. I could still touch and hold and hear right? As long as I would be around the people I love and be able to hold them, I think I would manage. It wouldn't be easy, but I would still be able to be there for them and show them my love. And that's all that matters to me.
Initially I thought shelter, but after reading the comments I've realised just how much I'd be missing. Not being able to be with the people I love for five years would drive me crazy, I'd have to deal with not being able to see or talk to them, they could still talk to me and I would be able to touch them so I suppose that I could live with it.
Lose my sight & voice. I would go crazy if I were all alone in the shelter. Yeah, it would suck not to be able to see my family or use my voice to talk, but I can always just write or learn to sign whatever I want to say to them. Not a big deal.
Hard one. I think i'd go voor losing my voice and sight for 5 years. Because I would still be able to be with the people I love. I would still be able to go outside and feel the wind and the sun in my face. I would go NUTS isolated from the rest of the world.
will there be cable and internet? I may be able to go without my voice but I would never give up my sight. Daring question, Loved it! Hugs P.S> did you get you entry ion for the giveaway? It ends on the 31st :-)
I'd lose my voice and ears for five years. Because mute and blind people can still cuddle :3 hee hee! check out my blog? I just posted on it again after some time : ) i post about life, love and happiness. im following yours now btw! soo cute!! - missshesaid.blogspot.com <3
the second because I would learn to hear others and to calm down my ego. Yes, seeing is a blessing but at times I think we become to self centered and don't listen enough. I think what I would learn from listening others and nature would be worth it and when I recovered my sight, I would have another appreciation towards life and what is around me.
Oooh tough one. I would have to say loose my voice and sight. I would be very lonely and depressed for five years without my family.

ReplyDeleteBomb shelter, sister. Quiet, alone time to work on my own thing, finish my novel, eat canned food...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a vacation, really ;)

Tough decision. I feel like if I type my answer, I might jinx myself. Lol.

Lose my voice and sight. I think it would teach so much in the form of communication and make you incredibly thankful when they were brought back.
ReplyDeleteI think it would depend on if the bomb shelter had internet, haha. If it did, it MIGHT be bearable. It it didn't, definitely option 2.

ReplyDeleteShelter definitely! I'm fine spending time alone and I can't imagine not being able to see or hear

ReplyDeleteI'm with Liz, if it came with internet and a fully stocked laptop I may choose the latter. Some options by the way ;)

I would absolutely rather be stuck in a fully stocked bomb shelter for 5 years. That actually sounds really nice to me :) I'm such a hermit.
