Would You Rather?

Have you ever heard a Would You Rather and thought that the right answer was blatantly obvious? That's me every time I play. For those of you thinking there are no right answers to this game, you're playing it wrong. I've compiled a list of some Would You Rathers that I've heard over the years along with explanations of why there is clearly a right answer...my answer of course.

Today's post is dedicated to my good friend Hannah, who always wants to play Would You Rather. I wish her the best of luck in London next year and I hope she takes whitegirlwednesday international. 

Would you rather...

tumblr didn't exist or wikipedia didn't exist?
-tumblr
Wikipedia has been the official sponsor of my collegiate career. I literally couldn't live without it. I can't tell you how many papers I could not have written were it not for Wikipedia. Likewise, I can't tell you how much better I would have done on said papers if I weren't so distracted by Tumblrs.

iPhones didn't exist or Google didn't exist?
-Google
I will admit that Google is one of my favorite verbs and I say "I'll Google it" approximately five times a day. But there are alternative search engines, my particular favorite is GoodSearch, which donates to charity every time you search something, making me feel less guilty for searching things like "dogs in pajamas" and "things to eat cookie dough with." But there is NO close alternative to the iPhone. I am not ashamed to say I can't imagine a life without emojis and iMessage. You will have to pry my iPhone from my cold, dead hands to separate us.

be blind or deaf?
-deaf
I can explain this one in two words. Closed captioning. A life never having to hear Fran Drescher's voice compared to a life never seeing Channing Tatum? Obvi.

sing when you talk or run when you walk?
-sing when you talk
I'm sure my friends would rather I run all the time instead of sing all the time, but running is on my "Don't Do" List. I believe in running strictly for survival. I already sing on an hourly basis anyway. If I had a decent voice, you'd never be able to get me to shut up. For all you know, I'm singing these words right now as I'm typing.

have more time or more money?
-money
I've always said that the expression "money can't buy happiness" is completely off base. Clothes, shoes, and miniature turtles all make me happy and can all be bought with money. The saying should be "money can't buy contentness" because that is totally true, eventually that turtle will die. But having more time would not be nearly as beneficial as we think. If you're anything like me, first of all, congratulations, and second of all, you don't spend your time very wisely. Having more time would just mean wasting more time, so always go with the money.

Ultimate Girl Heroes: Music Edition

Here at whitegirlwednesday, we believe in astronomy. The stars explain a lot about your personality, values, and who you might be compatible with. And by stars, we of course mean celebrities. So welcome to Ultimate Girl Heroes: Music Edition, where you will learn what your favorite singer reveals about you.
Note to Readers: It is crucial that you read this list with the understanding that Beyonce is not an option. Beyonce is obviously everyone's favorite singer, so the following list is really about picking a second favorite.

Adele
Your love of Adele's soulful serenades indicates that you have a lot of feelings, and most of them are sad. Waterproof mascara is a must. Once you get over your ex, a new love will turn up out of the blue uninvited and it will feel like a skyfall when he makes you feel his love.

Miranda Lambert
You're a scary chick who doesn't take any crap.  You don't really believe in forgiveness, but you do believe in revenge. You will be compatible with the type of guy who will never argue with you, piss you off, or do anything wrong. For this reason, I recommend cats.

Ke$ha
Your appreciation of Ke$ha's tracks indicates that your recklessness is terrifying and inspiring at the same time. You like to have a good time, at all costs. Little girls look up to you, which is mildly disheartening. You'd be compatible with a guy who appreciates glitter as much as you do but unfortunately, I don't think you're their type (wink wink).

Taylor Swift
You like relationships so much that you try a new one every few weeks. You haven't found "the one" yet, but you show no signs of giving up soon. Your track record suggests lots of people you aren't compatible with, which certainly narrows the hunt down. But I think it's safe to say 18 year olds are not your ideal match.

Rihanna
You really don't care what anyone else thinks, which is a good thing considering you have the ability to wear anything and look awesome, meaning other girls hate you. I would recommend a match, but something tells me you won't listen.
