If you’ve been hanging around here at the blog for any length of time you know we like to do some “Get to Know You” activities now and again.
Lucky for you, today is one of those days.
This one is pretty simple. 3 questions, each with 2 options.
#1 – What have you called more in your life, heads or tails?
#2 – If you and your guy/girl are sitting in a booth with another couple, would you rather be sitting beside or across from your boo?
#3 – Are you a morning person or a night owl? (You can only pick one.)
Write your answer out in this form “Heads – Beside – Morning” and then feel free to add reasoning.
I’ll analyze the answers later in the week…

Heads – Across – Morning
i always thought Tails was the evil choice, I like to sit across from Erica so I can make eye contact with her more easily, and I love mornings when I get up to write.
Tails – Beside – Night
Bryan – we are polar opposites.
Tails because I'm a little pessimistic; my husband's a big guy, so it's more comfortable when we're together; and, like a child, I still hate going to bed – I might miss something.
I usually pick heads, just because.
I like to sit next to Jack because I'm a touch person and having him right there makes me much more comfortable and confident.
I can't just choose one. I have grown to like mornings, but usually work late into the night. I have found that starting mornings late really messes up the rest of my day, though. Guess I'd actually go with mornings.
Heads – Across – Mornings
Great minds think alike Bryan, only I like getting up early for a workout to start the day right.
Heads – b/c it weighs a little more than tails.
Always across. My lady HAS to sit facing the door.
Morning for sure!
Heads – Beside – "I'm an early bird and a night owl. So I'm wise and I have worms."
whoever had Scott in the "I refuse to follow the rules" pool can claim their prize at Will Call later in the day.
I thought you'd appreciate The Office quote. That's what the quotes around it meant…it was a quote.
haha. i did appreciate it, you rulebreaker.
Heads-across-yes
Sorry, I'm one of those annoying people who's both morning and night. I love to stay up working until 2 but then, when I get up at 6 I'm awake instantly and happy to be awake (if a little exhausted)
Tails – Beside – Night
Heads – It just rolls off the tongue easier. (Does that mean I'm lazy?)
Across – Makes it easier for the girls to chat about football while the guys chat about their shoes. (Oh, wait, do I have that backwards? No, not based on my last double date – haha!)
PM – Especially in the winter – if the sun's not even up yet, why do I have to be? Plus, all the good TV is on after 9… I also write better at night – always have.
Tails — Besides — Morning
I used to be a night owl but having kids made me reprogram. I was up this morning at 5:45, walking around our neighborhood and talking to my friend in Italy.
Tails – Beside – Morning
Everyone seems to picks heads and i want to be "original."
Beside – but ONLY when we're with another couple. i will never ever evre be in a relationship with a person who likes to sit on the same side even when we're alone ::shudder::
Morning – I'm that girl in the office that is more awake at 6am than you will be in 5 hours.
Heads – Across – Morning.
Apparemtly I'm not very compatible with SM.
Unless opposites really do attract.
Heads-Beside-Night
Heads is always the first one that comes to mind. Sitting beside my boo eliminates that awkward who sits next to me in the booth…if the woman in the other couple sits next to me then it looks like we're together and if the guy sits next to me then that just feels awkward. I choose night b/c mid-day wasn't an option.
Tails, besides, morning.
Tails – Across – Night
I always Tails as opposed to Sonic, seemed to be more humble about the fact that he could run at the speed of light.
It's extremely awkward to be looking to the eyes of another, albeit most likely attractive, woman while with my girl, much less another man, and I find it much easier to ignore another woman sitting beside me, than the one who is shooting silent daggers my way.
My best work is done in the morning, but some of my greatest inspiration has come from the late-night Youtube findings, and Jay Leno's headlines.
Heads – Beside – Morning.
Heads because it's first; Beside because I like the closeness and the intimacy; and Morning because I cease to be mentally functional after about 11 pm.
hello, this is 911. we have gotten word of a problem here.
Heads – Beside – Morning.
Heads~Beside~Yes
I honestly have never paid attention to which I call. Heads, maybe? Tails, maybe? Heads wins more often statistically, but really, who cares?
When with another couple, beside so I can talk to them. I see hubs all the time because we always sit across when we’re alone or with the bratlets.
I, too, don’t like to follow silly rules. I like to stay up late and I’m in a good mood as soon as I’m up, no matter what time that is (meaning even the 3:45 and 4:45 I had to do on Saturday and Sunday this week).
heads – tails is the butt side. who picks the butt side?
beside – i have personal space issues. my wife is allowed in.
morning – i've never been a night-owl. i'm the guy that did not stay up all night studying in college. i would get up a 4 am and do it.
heads.– i get so caught up in trying to remember to call it once the coin is thrown up, I yell the first thing I can remember to say.
across. –I can't see someone if they're sitting right beside me. It's like we're waiting for the other couple to arrive on the other side.
night owl.–I can get up in the morning bright and early if I have to. And when I'm up, I'm up. But I admit to having a deep love of making the day last.
heads beside night
Heads – besides – shiny vampire
Tails–Beside–Night
I don't know why, but tails always seems to happen more often for me.
Across is nice if it's guys on one side and girls on the other, but beside each other creates a deeper sense of intimacy if you ask me. You are forced to be intentional with your eye contact.
Some of my best work has happened at night; that, and I have an intense disdain for my alarm clock. It's just easier for me to stay up then for me to get up, and I'm more productive the longer I've been awake.
Tales // Besides // Night
Tales (always cheer for the underdog).
Besides mostly because my wife prefers it that way.
I am definitely a night person, but unfortunately I have a paper route so I have to get up at like 5 so I can delivery my papers before going to work. I hate getting up that early so I stay up anyway and live on 5 hours of sleep every night.
Heads // Across // Morning
Heads-Across-Night Owl
Heads – Always. No intelligent reason. Seems to require less thought to simply say the first option given.
Across – Because anything else looks ridiculous. You know it does.
Night Owl – Because that's the only time six small people in my house sort of sleep.
Heads/Besides/Night
Heads–tails makes me think of….things I don't want to contemplate.
Besides- I am a big woman. I prefer to overflow into my husband. He can put his arm around me, and instead of people noticing I am fat, they notice I am well loved. But if we are alone, I do like looking at his handsome face.
Night- I can stay up late without being tired, but am always tired at dawn no matter when I went to sleep.
heads-besides-morning
Heads, Beside, Morning
To me, heads seems like it has a 50.1% chance.
Beside, so I can sit cross-legged in the seat and not weird out my booth mate with knees or feet in their dining area. Plus I'd rather have the girl counterpart across from me.
I never thought I'd want to wake up early, but I love getting things done in the morning.
"Tails never fails"
Across – because that's what you chose for us on Friday night.
But honestly, I do prefer across so that I can make eye contact more fully with my wife.
Night owl completely. I've been at work all day and I think I finally woke up.
Heads – Across – Night
I like seein' ol' George's mug giving me the side-look as if to say, "Way to go, Champ! Now go out there and win!" (You can tell he's got a twinkle in his eye and a big grin on the inside.)
There's nothing worse than ending up sitting across from the guy in the other couple and playing foosie with him all night. Then you always have that awkward joke, "Whoa, ho, ho! Easy there, fella. Don't make the ladies jealous!"
Night has always been easier for me to do anything. Get the music on, an energy drink in front of me, and I'm good to go.
Tails – Beside – Night
The beside/across answer changes if the other couple is not there. I prefer across if its just the two of us. Mornings should be outlawed.
Heads-Across-Morning
heads because I have a two headed nickel so I can’t lose, across because I can stand people that can’t quit touching each other long enough to eat, and morning because God played a cruel joke on me and changed me into an insane morning person that can’t sleep past 7 even on vacation. I used to be a perfectly content night owl.
Tails – beside – night.
Tails – Across – Morning
Tails always seems like the safe choice…don't know why. I'm with Brian on the across…of course it helps if you have someone to sit across from (depressing music). My day goes 2.68 million percent better, give or take a few thousand, when I get up and do stuff in the morning.
Heads-Usually the positive of my options, Beside, awkward to sit next to bud's date…or my bud. Night-I could say both, but I get most work done at night.
Tails-Boo Who-Night
Tail–Beside–Night
No reason for the first one–It seems less awkward to sit beside your 'boo'–I wish I were a morning person; the world was made for morning people and not those who think clearest at night or in the evening.
39 comments already?? people just love to talk about themselves…including me!!!!
HEADS ~ BESIDE ~ NIGHT
heads just sounds nicer then shouting out "tails." I like to sit beside my honey because it takes me back to those dating days when you just couldn't sit close enough. I love the night because my day is done and the children and i have all survived…and i can eat ice cream without beggers!!!
Heads – Across – Night
yeah…so me
Heads, I always choose heads, no idea why
I'd rather sit beside (and this is for a bad reason, it's easier to whisper comments about the other couple if I'm sitting next to the person I'm with!)
Nightowl- I wish I loved getting up in the morning, I am so so so bad at getting up in the morning and equally bad at going to bed at night. Sometimes I feel like a toddler because I just don't go to sleep.
And well…that's me!
ok I'll bite:
HEADS, ACROSS, MORNING
HEADS MEANS I AM A LEADER
THE FACT THAT I SIT ACROSS FROM MY "MATE" MEANS I LIKE TO INTERACT AND TO KEEP MY EYE ON HIM
MORNING- I ROCK AND I AM GOOD TO HAVE ON CAMPING TRIPS, ROAD TRIPS AND ON BLACK FRIDAY…YOU WILL NEVER SEE A 'TUDE
Heads–Beside–Morning
that's just the way it is
“Heads – Beside – Night”
heads cos i’ve heard it weighs a bit more so better chances of winning
besides cos…i don’t know
night cos i hate waking up, but don’t mind staying up all night.
Tails/beside/morning
Heads–Across–Morning
I know how night people feel in the morning because after about 10:00 at night, I'm just as delirious as they are when they get up.
Heads. Beside. Night.
Heads. I like GW.
Beside. I I it next to the other girl, I fel guilty. If I sit nextto the guy I feel awkward. So I sit next to my wife by default.
Night. I hate going to bed and I hate getting up…
Heads–Beside–Night
I find myself laying in bed wishing I were a morning person soi could go to sleep, but intead I am awake and have to get up and write. Sheesh.
Heads…Beside…Morning
I feel like heads is happier. Don't ask me why.
Heck, sometimes we even sit beside each other when there's not another couple with us
I turn into an 80 year old the later it gets.
