the essential dilemma of my life is between my deep desire to belong and my suspicion of belonging

Would you rather ...
 
be a firefighter or police officer? 
    it would be safer for me to be a firefighter, as they are (to my knowledge) unarmed
be rich and ugly or poor and good-looking? 
    rich sounds good for a change.
become CEO for a day or receive a bonus? 
    [insert the snort heard 'round the world]  I'll take that bonus, please!
eat healthier or exercise regularly? 
    I eat like a fat girl and exercise like a skinny girl. Without a live-in life coach, that's not likely gonna change.
go vegan or give up your favorite food? 
    nothing in the world - I mean, absolutely nothing - could make me go vegan. NOthing.
have a lot of acquaintances or just a few close friends? 
    real friendship is rare
have no heating or no air conditioning? 
    no AC. It would be impossible to live here with no heating, but only grossly uncomfortable with no cooling.
keep the death penalty or abolish it? 
    keep it!
lose your sense of taste or sight? 
    taste can go. In fact, it would probably make my life a lot easier!
plan out your date or go with the flow? 
    go with it. Whatever happens.
propose in front of a crowd or privately? 
    *hork*
    privately, please
pursue your dreams or have a stable, high-earning job? 
    dreams
work for a startup or a corporation?     
    startup
