If… (Week 40)
This is week forty in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.
Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.
This week’s questions:
If you could have the mind of someone you know but remain in your own body, whose brain would you take?
Erin’s. She’s up to date on current events, knowledgeable about basic history. And clear-headed and logical enough about life to have a good head on her shoulders. I often get ideas about life and the ways I want to lead mine from her, so having her mind would just save time.
If you could have the mind of someone from history and remain in your own body, whose would you choose?
Some philosopher, probably. Perhaps Plato.
If you could coach any current sports team professionally, which would you choose?
Well, I pity the team that I coach considering I am not a very athletic person and know nothing about team sports. So, for completely inappropriate reasons, I will coach the men’s gymnastics team. WHAT?!
If you had to name the single most regrettable thing about your country’s history, what would it be?
W

If… (Week 39)
This is week thirty-nine in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able.

This week’s questions:
If you had to eat the same meal for the rest of your life, morning, noon and night, without worrying about nutrition, what would you eat?
The buffet from Boma. It’s delicious and has a varied enough menu that I think I could manage to keep it as fresh as eating the same thing for every meal can get. I would definitely miss pasta dishes and Mexican food, but I’ve never not enjoyed myself at Boma, so I would pick that one.
If you could live the life of any fictional character, which character would it be?
Richie Rich? That money would certainly be nice, especially in times like this. Maybe Elroy Jetson? Futuristic living would be fun, plus he never seemed to have any big problems that made his life a hardship. How many of you are shocked that Peter Pan wasn’t the first name out of my mouth? Yeah, the flying would be fun.
I can tell you what fictional character I want to be exactly like when I grow up though. Dorothy Zbornak.
If you could have been any past president of the United States, who would you have been?
Washington. First!
If you could have one person from history work for you as your personal assistant, who would it be?
Maybe it says something for my aspirations in life (or lack thereof), but I’d much rather be someone’s personal assistant than have one of my own. I’ve just always been much more comfortable in that “trusty sidekick” sort of role. I guess if I did have one, I would want it to be someone hyper organized, so maybe Martha Stewart. I realize that since she’s still alive, she’s not really “from history,” but she’s my pick.

If… (Week 38)
This is week thirty-eight in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able.

This week’s questions:
If you could ask God any single question, what would it be?
What will my legacy be?
If you could be one article of clothing, what would you be, and who would you want to belong to?
Can I be some gorgeous athlete’s jockstrap?
If you had to be someone’s body part, what would you be, and on whose body?
What a bizarre question. I can’t really think of anyone’s body part that I’d really be interested in being, so I guess just for the sake of having an answer, I’ll pick JLo’s ass. Then I’d be insured for a cool million.
If you were to be rescued from a desert island, by whom would you want to be rescued?
I honestly don’t think I’d care who it was. I’d be far more concerned with the fact that I was actually getting rescued at all.

My Christmas Card to YOU
This year I decided to do something different when it came to the whole Christmas Card thing.
I’ve sent out cards every year since I moved out of my mother’s house and went off to college. And last year, I even had my cards custom designed to add just that much more personalization to them. I even topped them off with custom made postage stamps too. They went over really well!
But this year, I opted for a completely different route.
This year, I decided not to send out traditional Christmas Cards, and instead I created a Video Christmas Card to send out to all of my friends and family members. And to you!
I hope you enjoy it, and that it finds you healthy and happy this holiday season.
If… (Week 37)
This is week thirty-seven in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able.

This week’s questions:
If you were to cast the two romantic leads of a new film with any actors alive, who would you pick?
Well, I would make it a gay film. Just because I can. And call me a pedophile, but Zac Efron is quite charming, so I’d make him one of them. And, uh, for purely selfish reasons, I would be the other one. Don’t judge me.
If you could choose the way you will die, how would you want it to happen?
In my sleep. Not knowing that it’s happening. No pain. No suffering. Just…happens.
If you could foresee a single day of your future in its entirety, what date would you select?
Well, how will anyone know how to answer this not knowing what will or will not happen in their future. You could say “my wedding day” but who is to say you’ll even have one. The only day we all know that we’ll have is the day we die. But like I just said in the last question, I don’t want to know when that’s happening. So, who the hell knows what day I’d want to see.
If you had to have fought in any war in history, which would you have fought in?
Wasn’t this question in one of the first few batches of questions? I can’t even remember what I wrote then, so perhaps my answer has changed. But isn’t that what happens as time goes on? Your opinions and thoughts on certain things evolve and change, so it’s fine if I have a different answer now. I would have fought in the Civil War. And I would have won.
Those are my answers this week’s questions. What are yours?
If… (Week 36)
This is week thirty-six in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

This week’s questions:
If you could have been the first person to discover any part of the world, what place would you want to have found?
Hawaii
If you could have music group alive today play at your birthday party, which group would you hire?
While they currently aren’t together and working on anything, I would pick N’Sync.
If you could have any music group that no longer exists play at your birthday party, who would you want?
The Party!
If you could have a secret hideaway to escape to with a lover, where would it be?
It would be someplace that is completely surrounded by the public and very heavily traveled, but once inside the hideaway, it was completely private and undetectable by anyone else. Maybe a battered and beaten up doorway on a disheveled and rundown building in Times Square that nobody would dare to go anywhere near. But once you go inside, it’s actually a perfect little love nest. With roof access.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
If… (Week 35)
This is week thirty-five in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

This week’s questions:
If you were to be the personal valet of any one man or woman from history, who would you want to work for?
I’d want to work for Samantha Brown. Not only do I love her to the point of mild obsession, but working for her would allow me to travel with her at all times. And I don’t know anyone else who’s traveled to as many places or as often as she, so she’s my pick.
If you could hire any architect alive or from history to design your dream house, who would you pick, and where would you build it?
I don’t know a thing about architects. The only one I can think of at this moment is Frank Lloyd Wright (how cliche), so I guess I have to pick him. But after doing a quick google search of some the houses he’s designed, I’m pretty happy with that choice. I would just demand there was a secret passage or two in the house. Perhaps one behind a grandfather clock like in Webster.
If you could have invented anything from history, what would you pick?
Post-Its.
If you could invent something that currently does not exist, what would it be?
I would definitely invent a teleportation device. The ability to instantly be anywhere on the planet would be a dream come true. I would be able to visit my family or travel to vacation destinations in an instant. I could wake up, teleport to Iowa for breakfast with my family. Then visit the Great Wall of China before hitting up a bistro in Paris for lunch. After that I could go snorkeling along the Great Barrier Reef. Take a quick nap in my own bed in NYC. Then have dinner in Brazil before hitting a nightclub in London. Then back home for bed.

If… (Week 34)
This is week thirty-four in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

This week’s questions:
If you could have a secret camera in any one room in the world, what room would you put it in?
I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but the first thought that came to mind was to put the hidden camera in a locker room somewhere.
If you had to lose one of your limbs, which one would you sacrifice?
Holy crap, what a horrible question. Can I take the loophole and pick one of the limbs on the tree outside my house? No? Crap.
I guess if I had to pick a limb to get rid of, it would be my left leg. No real reason; just because.
If you could only keep one of your limbs, which would you choose to keep?
You just had to go and trump your last question with a worse one, didn’t you.
If I had to keep only one limb, I guess it would have to be my right arm. I can use a motorized wheelchair to get around and replace my legs, and I would keep my right arm over my left since that is my dominant arm.
If you were to have sex with two people simultaneously that you have known from your own past, who would you pick?
Well, ooh la la.
I’m going to impose an additional clause in this one just to help myself narrow it down, because otherwise it would be a list of two hundred and not just two. I’m only going to choose from people that I’m no longer currently in semi-occasional contact with.
First person would be the man I was once friends with who happens to also be a very well known adult film star. (Note to self: get back into regular contact with him)
Second person would be the dancer who was in one of the shows at which I used to work years ago.

This week’s questions:
If you were going to initiate a new charity, what would be its mission and who would benefit?
I feel like every possible charity known to mankind already exists.
If you could have been vice-president to any American president, which president would you choose?
Clinton. He was awesome.
If you could “unknow” one thing you know, what would it be?
I would LOVE to unknow what a vagina looks like.
If you could have one entire country “depopulated” as your private property, which country would you take as your own?
A European one, definitely. The country is just so picturesque over there, and I’d be a short day trip or weekend trip away from so many remarkable destinations. Now, I wouldn’t need a TON of land for my very own, so I would choose Liechtenstein. A teensy weensy country bordered by Switzerland and Austria. It’s so small, in fact, that it’s just under 62 square miles total. That’s plenty enough for my own private property without being ostentatious. And it also has the distinction of being one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world. The lack of beachfront property wouldn’t be ideal, but I don’t go to the beach much as is, so I’d survive. So, Liechtenstein it is… but I would rename it Nicktenstein.
