Theme parks or the zoo would be cool. No bungee jumping until the tenth date please.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Have you ever experienced it?

In a new relationship, do you like to take it slow or do you start with a bang?

Make your bed or leave it messy?
* Messy! Us geniuses can't afford to waste time on making beds!! Hahaha, just kidding, I'm just a lazy butt!
The movie or the book? Or the Cliffs Notes?
* Don't want to waste time, so Cliffs notes first, then movie and if it's still that durn interesting, then book. Sort of like Harry Potter. Watch movie, like movie, read all four books. But actually I read The Hours before I watched the movie and I think that made the movie better.
Glass half-empty or half-full?
Half-empty, naturally if you see a glass without knowing anything else, you can't guarantee it will get filled because you don't know anything about external sources coming into the system, however you DO know that evaporation will take its toll. So the glass has a likelier future of becoming empty instead of being replenished. So for it to become half-full, you have to introduce that external source yourself, you have to do take action and do something with your life instead letting entropy take over.
