#4 Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next 5 years confined to an urban mecca like NYC, or a beautiful, isolated town on the California coast?

I have to admit: the answer to this is quite easy for me. I’d definitely rather go to a big metropolis than an abandoned village in the middle of nowhere, even if that nowhere has sunshine 365 days a year and a stunning beach. The crucial point is the time span. 5 years is an aweful long time. If I think about what happened and changed in the last 5 years of my life I only realise how incredibly long that actually is. In 5 years I studied 3 different majors in 3 different universities and graduated lately from one of them. I moved cities 3 times and flats 4 times. I went to a different country to live there for a while, I sang in 2 different bands, had 6 different jobs and made so, so, so, so many friends and business contacts in that time. I could go on and on and on but I think you get the gist.

So, yes, living on an island or an isolated town at the California coast can be absolutely fantastic, relaxing and maybe even inspiring. But I cannot imagine myself being there for a time frame as long as 5 years. I need the action, the buzz, the cultural variety, the many different people and mentalities, the shops and cafés, restaurants and bars that an urban mecca like NYC has to offer. And to be honest: for me personally the place I’m talking about must not necessarily be New York City – I really enjoyed being there during the two visits I spent so far, but any other bigger city that has a lot going on and still may not be as packed as NYC would also work very well for me.

By the way if you’re seeking for a mid-sized city that still gives the feeling of an urban metropolis, I can recommend checking out Dublin! And – unlike other countries that I don’t wanna name now –  the Irish even have great beer… what else could you ever want? 😉

#3 – If you had to be obsessed with money, sex, sports, religion or food, which one would you choose?

Hahahaha… well, we all do know what probably EVERYONE would choose, don’t we? 😉

No, I’m just kidding. Actually, I can’t really tell right away! I see flaws in every possible answer… let’s just have a closer look then and I’ll decide after:

Food? No thanks, I don’t wanna die of a fatty heart!

Religion? No offense here but… I’m not very religious right now and I’d be very glad if it stayed like this. I also don’t wanna be some super-duper-hyper missionary, who tries to force faith into every single human soul. Annoying as hell, no thanks. (lol me – funny choice of words, haha!)

Money? Fair enough. Money is quite helpful or at least CAN be. (Could be key to finally having my own spaceship!)  But then again… being obsessed with money? Sounds like a rather superficial habit that honestly does not fit my personality at all.

Sex … well. It obviously is one of the most pleasing things you could possibly want to have a lot in your life. But being obsessed with sex can definitely be rather frustrating and depressing than pleasing. I feel like people that are obsessed with sex tend to rather put people off than attract them! Don’t you think? They sexually  approach you in an intimidating and oppressive way. So no, that one’s definitely crossed out.

Sports. Now, there we go. At first glance it appears to be the healthiest option. But this is only if you forget that you are obsessed with it! Doing excessive amounts of sports will harm your body. What’s for sure is, that it’ll crush your joints. It’ll possibly kill too much body weight too if you don’t accordingly eat way more than usual – which will kill you in the end.

So… tough choice! I guess the option that does the least harm to myself, mentally and physically, is: money. Sad but true. I guess, I’d become a #ritchbitch! Oh boy.

Do you agree?

#2 – What would you do if your 6-year-old daughter’s favorite toy, a talking doll, started trying to convince her that she needed a friend – the next doll in the company’s line?

This is an odd question. What I would say? I’d of course tell my little girl that she shouldn’t listen to a toy! What kind of toy is that anyways? Shouldn’t a talking doll be supposed to say things like „I’m sleepy“ or „I love you, mommy“?! It’s an evil plan to put hidden sales messages into cute dolls for little girls.. But that’s just on the sidelines.
I don’t think I would let my daughter play THAT MUCH with her talking doll in the first place, so that it becomes her favorite toy.. I’d prefer her playing with actual kids, you know the human ones. 😉
When I was little I as well had a talking doll, she started talking when you brushed her hair. I remember it well but I also remember that I found that whole brush-me-and-I’ll-say-I-love-you-thing quite silly. And I was only 7 years old, maybe? 🙂 My parents raised me well, I never fell for a lot of things advertisements told me I would absolutely need. My parents did a good job and I guess saved loads of money as well by doing so. 😉
So, I guess dealing with this kind of situation comes all down to how you raised your child in the first place. I hope mine won’t give in to such temptations. But who knows what’s gonna be ‚all the rage‘ or ‚common practice‘ in ten years time? It still has to be found out! 🙂

What about you? Would you give in or react about the same like me? Let me know in the comments!

Cheers! 🙂
