choose ye: return of the ultimate demographic choose ye!

Filed under: either or, listy, whoa internets — meg @ 2:46 pm

This is a reprint of a Choose Ye that I did last year. I was supposedly to compile the results, and then I… well, I didn’t.

So let’s do it again!

Reprint begins here:

Okay. We’re playing hardball now, kids.

Unless you’re ready to be covered in strawberries and whipped cream, no waffling!

(And no, I’m not actually going to cover you in strawberries and whipped cream. Give your head a shake.)

The choices we make sometimes say a lot about who we are. Sometimes they say nothing about who we are. But it’s funny — even the totally silly choices can end up getting us into huge debates with our family and friends.

(Actually, I think it’s interesting to note the choices we struggle with… or just don’t care about at all. And the choices we admit to, as opposed to the ones we hide.)

But today I don’t want to hear about definitions or shades of gray or your existential struggle or “I need to know context!” or qualifiers or “well, generally I think I like this, but it depends…”

Just choose. No extra (especially political or religious) commentary, no justifications, no bashing other choices.

Just CHOOSING.

Scary, I know.

(And one more parenthetical remark for good measure. Thank you.)
