10 on the 10th - Would you rather ...

It's time for 10 on the 10th!
This time Marsha is asking us a few "Would you rather ..." questions. Let's see which ones I'll be able to answer.

1. Would you rather live in a tiny house in the country or on a boat on a river or lake?

To be honest, neither. I'm very claustrophobic and just the thought of it makes my skin crawl.
Still I'm fascinated by English canal boats, so if you make me, that's what I would have to choose.

2. Would you rather be a character in a Shakespeare play or a Stephen King movie adaptation?

That's easy. Shakespeare all the way, preferably one of the three witches in the Scottish play (yes, I know this is a blog and not a theater).
The Scottish play was one of the topics in my English major and therefore always brings back a few memories.
One of them is how our English teacher asked if we wanted to do something for our "Abifest". Abi(tur) is the end of class 12 or 13 (depending on the system, in my time it was always 13 years).
My friend and I said we'd do the witch scene, but only if one of the others played the third witch. That other one was our teacher's favorite - it wasn't just us two who felt like that - and he hands down refused. We didn't mean it as a joke, we would have gone through with this which would have been hard for someone like me who's not a public speaker, but hey, it wasn't to be ...

3. Would you rather your kitchen was full of all black appliances or all pink appliances?

Black, silver or red. No pink, please!

4. Would you rather be allergic to cake or chips?

Chips. I don't eat them that often, but I would definitely not want to miss out on my sister's coconut sheet cake!

5. Would you rather have a five minute conversation with your past self or your future self?

Past self. I don't think I would want to hear anything about the future at this point.
 

6. Would you rather be rich or famous?

Another easy one. Rich. There's so much good you can do with money. I'd love being able to donate more.
On the other hand, I don't do well in groups and appreciate my privacy, so being famous doesn't even bear thinking about.

7. Would you rather drive a brand new big, big truck or a slightly used small car?

I don't drive at all (never even bothered to exchange my license for the ones required here now), but my dream had always been an old VW Beetle convertible (which, according to several people including my ex, needs a garage and its own mechanic).

8. Would you rather live with your parents or your kids?

I don't have kids except furry ones and I already live with them 😋
I wouldn't want to live with my parents again. I'm usually quite happy living on my own.

9. Would you rather have an ugly tattoo where everyone could see it or a beautiful one that no one could see?

I have one tattoo which I love. It's on my leg and people usually can't see it completely because I rarely wear something short enough. I wanted it that way because it's for myself.

10. Would you rather eat a peanut butter and spam sandwich or a strawberry jelly and lettuce sandwich?

I don't like peanut butter and I'm a vegetarian. I'm also no big fan of jelly because it tends to slip off my bread, I prefer jam or marmalade.
Even if I weren't vegetarian, I would always choose strawberry jelly and lettuce, though. Something I didn't use to do, but have done a few times lately is teaming up bitter orange marmalade and cheese and I quite like that.
Lettuce wouldn't spoil the strawberry taste, I think, it would add something fresh to it.

There you go, I made it through all ten!
