So if the world we know ended tomorrow... what say you?

So it's been a bit over a week & I can tell you that I've been writing & it's going well (hope all your writing endeavors are going well also) but I do have another poll to drop on everyone. Honestly, I'm not even sure what my answer to my own poll happens to be but I'm obsessed with the question. As always, if you'd like to vote & elaborate, please do. If you just want to vote, that's much appreciated also. :)


[Poll #1340098]

Besos! xoxo

I don't know. While there's the biological imperative to live at all costs, I've had enough bad shit go down in my life (and I haven't lived a particularly hard life, by most standards) to know that sometimes "at all costs" means just that.

I love the romantic/adventurous *idea* of the post-apocalypse--I love fiction that deals with it and imagining how things would work and what would happen. When I think about everything I'd lose and some of the choices I'd have to make (OMG not the kitten! :), though, it all gets a little more difficult.

Hey, infinite! ;)

I totally get you. I haven't yet figured out if I'm ultimately a real survivor. I mean, I like living but I'm not about the suffering for extended periods of time so, that could be a problem.

I too love the aspects of the idea & considering that BSG & Jericho rank at the very top of my television viewing favorites, clearly I never tire of it. But you're totally right, actually thinking of everything, EVERYTHING you know being gone & still moving forward. And for goodness sake, how long? I think that'd add an even more harrowing aspect to the already grim state.

And about the kitten, my husband was appalled when I admitted to him that if we had a dire survival situation, I'd seriously eat our cat (my love is now departed) if it came to it. He said that was too far for him because she was family. I told him I thought it'd be unfortunate to have to go one without him when he starved to death... but I'd do it. So either I'm more a survivor than I thought or a heartless bitch. Maybe ultimately it takes a bit of both. IDK. ;)

Hey!

I would totes kill the cat (as painlessly as possible) when it looked like the post-apocalyptic event was for real and unavoidable. And while it would upset me to do it, if I was hungry enough (ie. starving to death), I would eat cat, dog, human, best friend, whatever.

God, this is a depressing conversation, and Ruby the cat (sitting next to me) is kind of looking at me funny.
