Oh oh!! Join a rock band!!
You could be famous for classic hits like:
"Moseying My Way Through the Mundane" and "Scissor, Scissor."

I'd totally buy your records.

I wish there were just four options! I'm constantly paralyzed by so many things I want to do. Hike the PCT. learn the guitar. Learn sign language. bake some oatmeal raisen cookies. play xbox, buy some new pants, study (this one is getting picked a lot recently), go for a run, play poker, well, you get the idea...

I used to read my adventure novels straight though... maybe that is what is wrong with me...

Well, these are broad paths that I can take with smaller branches available for traverse at any time.

10, that is awesome. I used to read as many of the options as I could before they were due back, but I'm not sure that it ever occurred to me to read them straight through. You rock!

Anything but C. Do NOT take advice from Thoreau for any reason. Remember the immortal words of my friend Chris Hanshew: "He makes me want to Thoreau up!"

Huh, if anything I would say that Thoreau is probably the best choice. Someone needs to watch Dead Poet Socity again!

Breakfast cereal can be quite interesting. Maybe you should go for D.

I like Thoreau, but Emerson is better.

Additionally, Dead Poets Society is one of my favorites.
