Assuming I had absolutely no idea what the task would be, I'd go with something embarrasing. This town sucks, everyone already hates me and I'm moving out ASAP. I don't think it'd really make any difference.

Besides, there's some other things to consider... if people know you did it for $1000, then you're fine. And maybe you don't find it embarassing? Maybe I'm weird but I really don't give a damn if people see me naked, just so long as I know they see me. If that should happen to be part of the task, then alright, easy money.

I voted "Other", because I wouldn't do anything spectacular for $1,000, it just wouldn't be worth it.

But I'm also in Washington state, where $1,000 doesn't get you jack pickle.

Gotta go with embarassing, as long as it's not televised or anything.

Gross can get bad... I've seen fear factor and... no.

Something life risking is stupid b/c I could work a few weeks at a job and earn $1000.

Life-risking would be stupid if you don't live to use it, gross is gross, you're right;
But the embarassment IS public...

I picked (other)...

What would I do with $1,000? New clothes would be nice, and upgrades for my PC, guess that's about it...

I'd do what I used to. Specifically, I'd work 4 hours a day, five days a week for 8 weeks. $1000 isn't really very much money.

The main reason why you probaly would think that way is because your only a child and you never have more than 200.00 dollars in your pocket.

Y'know, I don't really think I have to say anything else.


I wouldn't do any of those. To be completely honest, that $1,000 isn't worth it, considering that I have a job and could earn that much relatively easily.

I'll take public embarassment. I don't even get embarassed in public anymore because of the slew of embarassing things that have happened to me.

- Mooning an entire ski resort.
- Clogging up toilets at two of my friends houses.
- Pissing myself because I was drunk.
- The first time I hung out with my ex-boyfriend (from freshman year), having embarassing footage of when I was like 10 years old shown of me. Like... my sister and I putting on a circus for our parents.
- My skirt comming completely UP on the SI ferry in front of about 20 homeless guys bumming it on the staircase.
- My skirt comming up ON STAGE during SING, because I had to dress like shirley temple.. thus having to wear a child's dress.. and having to spin around quickly in a scene. Not a good combination in front of a FULL HOUSE.
- Having the runs...... literally. From the 65th street subway station to the Barnes and Nobles on 66th street. Dodging traffic and such. Oh gosh.
- Fainting in school. Well, it was embarassing ths first time.. because I was in Chem lab for the first time ever.. and I fainted.
- Falling flat on my face in front of my entire 7th grade class, bringing a HUGE FAN down with me.
- 4th grade play, I had to catch this girl when she "fainted".. and we both fell through the curtain and... brought the whole curtain down with me. In front of my entire grade.

So after all that, I can think of a few reasons why public embarassment for $1000 would be kind of fun. You'd have another interesting story to tell. All those above, are what me and my friends refer to as "Raina" situations. It's just... another typical Raina situation. Fasho.

Hooly shit. You´d easily get $5,000 for all of that.

Well, it´s really sad that it happens so often for you but some people are born with bad luck, unfortunately.

Actually, I've found that younger people (or "children") are more likely to think $1,000 is worth less than it really is. There's a difference between money and money over time. Even though I make more than $1,000 in two weeks, having a straight $1,000 just given to me would be a pretty big deal, and I'd probably be able to get my new car 4 or so months earlier.

I know how old I am, and I know from former friends who have jobs, that 1000 dollars is not a lot. Maybe for a two thirteen year olds who realy dont need to spend it on anything.

It's not bad luck. It's genious. I truly think I've been blessed with my life... stupid little things like that happen to me all the time. I just laugh at myself... cause if you don't laugh at yourself.. you will go insane.
