Would You Rather -- A Party Game for the Party Masses

guys, gals
a lot of people want a lot of things out of life
some people wanna be the richest sos they can provide for their family
or just because they want their headstone to be a giant diamond flipping "the bird"
some people want notice in their field
or in the public realm
prestige, the honor of accomplishments and accolades
or just to be a badass rockstar and to feel loved by millions
some folks want to be the meanest or the toughest
or the sweetest
to be remembered for helping others
some people just want to do what makes them happy, and that's all they could ask for
the comfort and security to pursue what brings them pleasure and contentment
some folks want all the knowledge, some folks want all the spades
what do you want, what do you see in others?
what dances with sugarplums in your dreams, what don't you get about another wight's desires?
regale me
I'm always curious about what others pursue--folks of other minds and other cultures. What a person values says a lot about how they see the world, and it's interesting to try to step behind another's eyes.
for instance:
something that has always intrigued me has been the notion of a "number." The sex kind. It's sorta implied that everyone remembers their number and that it is somehow meaningful, but it seems so arbitrary--a dude can tell you he's been with 40 people, but what if those people were babies? Or blackout drunk? What if he slept with each of them once and never saw any of them again? I know that a high number is supposed to be satisfying because it is linked to desirability and attraction, and there isn't really another way to quantify that sort of thing, but it is such a funny thing to me. I also think it's interesting because it isn't something that is understood to just always be better the higher it is--sleeping with zero people is considered to be Not Ideal, but so is sleeping with a thousand (maybe not for some). Some people can't imagine sleeping with more than one person--some people can't understand how you sleep with less than 20.

see, this is interesting to me, because I don't understand it at all
I'd be curious for you to explain it a bit
why do you want to stay alive as long as possible
are there any conditions, or do you just want to be around on this planet for as long as you can, period
does it have to do with leaving a mark or just being around to see what goes down
but that option is basically out the window by this point
Not my life's goal, but that would be pretty cool.
EDIT: As far as life goals go, as long as I'm getting by and I'm happy, I'm set.
That's not the peak expectation, but it would be enough for me.
maximum pleasure, minimum pain
simple
Well, I like living and breathing and eating. But my definition of leaving a mark is just affecting other people I care about, so I've done that. I'd like to continue doing that.
Alright, serious answer is I want to be happy but also strive for a little more in life.
Only thing that's really changed over the last half-decade is that its moved from NYC to (maybe) Vancouver
i am not a number
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
Main reason is because I enjoy life and foresee that continuing. On top of that, I find technology to be amazing and I want to see what kind of whacky shit people are coming out with 80 years from now.
I want a 10 inch dick so i can hideously injure all of my lovers
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
or an desire/obligation to rise above and beyond
maybe the belief that you have the potential to give something great to mankind
stab stab stab stab stab tell your friends
great rap music
i was thinking of how absurd a 12 inch dick would be the other day
i mean that's literally a foot, like the thing on the end of your leg
nuts

Also I want to walk on the surface of another world.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I want to get married someday and have a couple kids, and try my damnedest to be the best father in the world because I never had a real one myself.
i started typing orik's joke and then i refreshed and he had already made it and then i was gonna write something clever about that but i saw you had posted and figured you had done it for me already and i was right and then i wrote this post hope you liked it
That's just a fantasy primarily.
I used to read Word Up magazine
i don't really think about money a lot
I think Bemis is actually doing this but with a hut
lolll hi
*goes back to wasting time on the internet*
like
maybe the desire to do something like what Happenstance said
move to the woods with someone you love, spend your days reading and thinking and just appreciating the world to the utmost of your abilities
"Great" would be setting the bar unrealistically high, but I think I have it in me to write the sort of show that people could really get into and fanboy-out over. The kinda show that makes a certain sort of person really fucking obnoxious because they won't stop talking about it.
I want to write a show that's good enough to draw fans passionate enough to ship it.
i liked it
yeah i think about this sometimes too
it's sort of my retirement plan
you wanna be shipped? I know a guy
(the guy is me)
