While trying to clean out some of the excess junk in my computer's memory, and I came across this. It's a list of "If I were"s. I apparently stole this from someone at some point and never quite finished it. So now I'm finishing it. I will include the answers I put then, and a new one, if it's changed. Here we go.
1. If I were a month, I would be September, March, or November... They’ve always been my favorites… And I like the weather.
2. If I were a day of the week, I would be Thursday... Cause you’re so close… and yet so far away… story of my life.
3. If I were a time of the day, I would be 9:00 pm… because some of my best conversations happen around that time.
4. If I were a planet, I would be Neptune. It gets kinda neglected, I think. Very under-appreciated gas giant.
5. If I were a sea animal, I would be Dory. Because she's forgetful. And "no one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave... if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... and I'm home. Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget."
6. If I were a direction, I would be SOUTH (In your mouth PAHA).
7. If I were a piece of furniture, I would be a strong, mahagony filled bookshelf.
8. If I were a sin, I would be pride because it is said to be the worst sin that stems all the others. Dante said pride was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour." And recently, I haven't been self-centered... but the things on my mind and I'm spending time on are too much focused on me instead of God and others. I felt a while back I was putting WAY too much energy into the affairs of others and in turn neglected myself. So then I decided to re-center and improve myself and my relationship with my husband. Then I got sidetracked again and neglected the rest of my family and people I care about. So I'm trying to find the balance between all of these now. It's a work in progress. Admittance is first.
9. If I were a historical figure, I would be... I have no idea. I probably should. But I don't.
10. If I were a liquid, I would be water. Basis of life. Unique to earth. Awesome. Yay.
11. If I were a stone, I would be a sapphire… Cause I like blue… ;).
12. If I were a tree, I would be the weeping willow from My Girl… or Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas.
13. If I were a bird, I would be blue jay. Cause they’re pretty:) And I have a thing for the name...
14. If I were a tool, I would be a chalk line… cause they’re fun:) OOOH! Or a plane. Cause that's my new favorite!
15. If I were a flower, I would be Jasmine. PAHAHA. Admit it. You laughed too. It was just too easy. And obvious.
16. If I were a kind of weather, I would be lightly cloudy with a cool breeze... It's the feeling in the air of "after hurricane" weather. It feels fantastic.
17. If I were a musical instrument, I would be a fiddle. Or a banjo. Or a ukelele... Decisions decisions.
18. If I were an animal, I would be a ferret… cause Dad says I have nervous energy and scurry around. (That was the original answer... I don't remember exactly how that conversation came up... maybe I asked what he thought I'd be if I were an animal. But I like the answer so much, I refuse to change it. :)
19. If I were a color, I would be cerulean. It's lovely.
20. If I were a vegetable, I would be a cucumber… cause they’re my favorite.
21. If I were a sound, I would be the sound a golf ball makes when you get a hole in one… Ohhhh that sound.
22. If I were an element, I would be wind…. No wait! I’d be the Fifth. L. O. L. Milla Jovovich is so BA.
23. If I were a car, I would be a baby blue Volkswagon Beetle. Because they’re so darn cute…
24. If I were a song, I would be “Forgetful Lucy” from 50 First Dates… <3
25. If I were a movie, I would be a dramatic romantic comedy starring Amber Tamblyn, with special appearances by Joan Cusack, Julie Andrews, Tom Hanks, Mark Ruffalo, Bruce Willis, and this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0869548/, along with a random Fast and Furious scene. Who would watch that? Pahaha
26. If I were a book, I'd be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or Sisterhood Everlasting. Faves.
27. If I were food, I would be a shrimp tempura sushi roll... Or something along those lines. Yum.
28. If I were a place, I would be home. Home is where the heart is, where your story begins, and where you belong. <3
29. If I were a material, I would be wood- durable, versatile, and unique.
30. If I were a taste (taste??), I would be "Jamaican Me Happy."
31. If I were a scent, I would be “Sensuality” from Avon… or fresh laundry...
32. If I were a religion, I would be Christian. Non-denominational owned, Christian.
33. If I were a word, I would be ampersand.
34. If I were an object, I would be (Original answer) my sock monkey… because right now Dustin has it. (New Answer) Dustin's seaman's crucifix. Cause it's always with him. So I wouldn't have to miss him.
