I didn't want to gank the Ultimate BSC Survey Thread so I thought I would start a new one. I just finished the old TWOP thread (all 235 pages) and got ideas from there as well as some new ones. Feel free to add more if you like.
1. Get arrested for drunk driving? 2. Go goth? 3. Get plastic surgery? 4. Become famous (for whatever reason)? 5. Have a fairy godmother? 6. Try musical theater professionally? 7. Wind up on the six o'clock news? 8. Witness a murder? 9. Get into body piercing? 10. Travel the world with a baby in a backpack? 11. Get a tattoo? 12. Get knocked up in high school? 13. Runaway from home? 14. Experiment with drugs? 15. Never move out of their parents' house?
On another topic, and I know this is a morbid one, but how do you think they would die? (I know death can be a touchy subject. I'll delete this portion of my post if too many of you are uncomfortable with it.) It's easy to say that they would all live to ripe old ages and die peacefully in their sleep. But, when you think about it, there are 10 members of the BSC. The odds are that not all of them would go like that. Here are my guesses and yes my imagination and I had some fun:
Kristy-Mary Anne realizes that Kristy is one of the major influences in her life that is keeping her down and preventing her from totally coming out of her shell. In a moment of weakness and moodiness Mary Anne snaps. Kristy is found with a pencil jammed in her ear instead of over her ear.
Mary Anne-The pressures in her life that drove her to therapy in the first place combined with the guilt over murdering Kristy cause her to take her own life (That and the fact that she aches for Logan).
Claudia-Somehow, despite her dumbassness, I think she will die of old age. She will be the "Mimi" to her own grandchildren.
Stacey-Once again she rebels against her diabetes, only this time she can't be saved.
Dawn-She lives in a tree in the jungle to protest deforestation. She falls out of the tree and breaks her neck.
Abby-Spends her life insisting she will live it to the fullest. At age 73 she dies in an unfortunate hang gliding accident.
Jessi-She becomes exactly like Aunt Cecelia. She dies of a heart attack trying to show off her old ballet routines when she is much too old to do so.
Mallory-if she doesn't off herself in high school, she would probably die of birth complications while having her seventh kid.
Logan-He dies of alcohol poisoning at a college frat party.
Shannon-I think she would die at a ripe old age, though maybe alone.

Yeah, I meant FAIRY godmother. woops.
I modified a few questions so that they don't exactly repeat what was in the books.

Some how I doubt anyone would ever even know. (it's even been stated in the books that the Pike don't even notice any extra kids around)

^They'd realize something was up when they found themselves actually doing household chores and/or raising their own children :-D

1. Get arrested for drunk driving?
Logan
2. Go goth?
Mallory...I could see her as the the type of girl who, when she got into college, was so unsure about her identity that she took on the identity of whoever she was dating at the time...
3. Get plastic surgery?
Stacey or Mallory (didn't she dislike her nose?)
4. Become famous (for whatever reason)?
Jessi or Dawn (for some outrageous act during a protest)
5. Have a fairy godmother?
Mary Anne
6. Try musical theater professionally?
Jessi
7. Wind up on the six o'clock news?
Kristy (I could see her becoming an anchorwoman or something...)
8. Witness a murder?
Someone mentioned Dawn because of her spying, but I immediately focused on Mallory and her Harriet the Spy obsession...I could totally see her viewing something she shouldn't.
9. Get into body piercing?
Dawn...she's halfway there already...and she's an "individual" (or believes she is)...
10. Travel the world with a baby in a backpack?
Dawn
11. Get a tattoo?
Claudia (on the urgings of Ashley Wyeth)
12. Get knocked up in high school?
Mary Anne
13. Runaway from home?
Mallory
14. Experiment with drugs?
Stacey (although I couldn't see her doing anything more illicit than pot).
15. Never move out of their parents' house?
Claudia (she'll be forced to stay back in grade after grade after grade )

1. Get arrested for drunk driving? Kristy, I can see it happening in college or something and then feeling really really horrible about it later. 2. Go goth? Mallory. Maybe because my little sister went through a Goth phase and (-the glasses) she looked (looks) just like Mallory was described, except her hair is VERY red instead of just brown/red 3. Get plastic surgery? Mallory again, if she ever got enough money she probably would get that nose job. 4. Become famous (for whatever reason)? Jessi, it seems like she actually was really talented and might become semi-famous like being in a music video or a commercial or something like that. I don't see anyone in the BSC becoming world-famous though. 5. Have a fairy godmother? Mallory again. She needs one 6. Try musical theater professionally? Probably Jessi 7. Wind up on the six o'clock news? Shannon, for something in business, maybe for cooking the books or something, or Dawn with a bunch of other protesters 8. Witness a murder? Stacey if she moves back to new york 9. Get into body piercing? Dawn. Cause I'm kinda like Dawn and I like piercings. 10. Travel the world with a baby in a backpack? Dawn. 11. Get a tattoo? I'd say Claudia for sure, and Dawn too. 12. Get knocked up in high school? Stacey. Well Stacey's pretty smart though, so maybe Mallory because she strikes me as the type who'd have unprotected sex to make some guy happy because she's just so glad he likes her. 13. Runaway from home? Claudia 14. Experiment with drugs? Again, probably Claudia. 15. Never move out of their parents' house? Claudia again, if she doesn't run away. Or Kristy because she's seems family-oriented and there's alot of room in that mansion.
On another topic, and I know this is a morbid one, but how do you think they would die?
Kristy-Baseball hits in just the right spot, ala' "A Prayer For Owen Meany"/"Simon Birch"
Mary Anne- Cancer, or heart disease, nothing too exciting
Claudia- Accidentally ingests paint or super glue or something.
Stacey-ironically something totally un-diabetes related, like getting hit by a bus
Dawn-Surfing accident
Abby-Will die of natural causes as an old sarcastic woman
Jessi- falls into the orchestra pit. Weighed down by the weight of those terrible...You get it.
Mallory- I see Mallory dieing of a tragic side effect of some prescription durg
Logan-Car accident
Shannon-Heart attack
Now I'm sad.

1. Get arrested for drunk driving? Stacey. She seems the sort to "go along with the cool kids." I know she didn't drink the wine at the concert, but I can see her caving into peer pressure when it gets more insistant. 2. Go goth? Claudia. Most of the goth kids I've known have been artsy. 3. Get plastic surgery? Mallory, duh She's gonna get that nose job if it's the last thing she does. 4. Become famous (for whatever reason)? Jessi. There aren't that many black ballerinas, you know. 5. Have a fairy godmother? Mary Anne. The people with fairy godmothers always seem to be motherless! 6. Try musical theater professionally? Shannon. 7. Wind up on the six o'clock news? Kristy. 8. Witness a murder? Stacey. Or Kristy, if it counts as witnessing it when you're the one who commits it. 9. Get into body piercing? Claudia. 10. Travel the world with a baby in a backpack? Dawn. 11. Get a tattoo? Stacey would get a nautical star tramp stamp or something. 12. Get knocked up in high school? Mary Anne. Logan can't remain this sexually benign forever! 13. Runaway from home? Dawn. She's pretty much already done it once. 14. Experiment with drugs? Dawn would smoke a lot of pot. 15. Never move out of their parents' house? Claudia, because she doesn't have any skills outside of her art, which isn't a very solid field for moneymaking.

1. Get arrested for drunk driving? Logan
2. Go goth? Mary Anne. I picture her going through a rebellious stage during high school.
3. Get plastic surgery? Either Mallory or Stacey, it's a toss up...but probably Mallory, so she can get that nose job she's always wanted.
4. Become famous (for whatever reason)? Jessi, for building the world's first black ballerina robot.
5. Have a fairy godmother? I want to say Karen (even though she's not a sitter) because she gets everything in life, so why not a fairy godmother?
6. Try musical theater professionally? Shannon
7. Wind up on the six o'clock news? Kristy
8. Witness a murder? Mallory. She spends so much time spying on people whilst vacationing, she's bound to see something interesting after a while!
9. Get into body piercing? Claudia
10. Travel the world with a baby in a backpack? Dawn (even if it's a bit cliche)
11. Get a tattoo? Claudia or Stacey
12. Get knocked up in high school? Stacey
13. Runaway from home? Stacey
14. Experiment with drugs? Stacey, Claudia or Abby (she seems to go along with the crowd a lot, so I can see her doing it to fit in)
15. Never move out of their parents' house? Mallory...poor Mallory!
