This is week twenty-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. 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 had to choose the title of your autobiography, what would it be?
…I’m in the Wrong Story
If you could only have one piece of furniture in your house, what would you want it to be?
The bed, obviously. Not only for practical reasons, but for comfort as well. It’s been documented that we spend one third of our lives in bed. As much as I like to sleep and nap, I’m sure my personal statistic is closer to ninety percent of my life, so it makes sense that I’m only allowed one piece of furniture, that I choose a bed. Aside from that, you can do more than just sleep in a bed. You can sit on it while you watch television, thus also making it your chair. So, I think I would get the most mileage out of having a bed as my only piece of furniture.
If you could have changed one thing about your first sexual experience, what would it be?
My first time was with someone with whom I wanted to sleep with at that point in my life, so I guess it’s fine leaving him in the equation, but the way he treated me afterwards was hurtful. He was in a relationship at the time, but (at the risk of using cliched sitcom quotes) was ‘on a break.’ I guess he felt guilty about sleeping with me while he was still working on fixing his current relationship, so he dealt with that by denying that it ever took place. Maybe that wasn’t his motivation, but regardless of what caused him to deny it, it still hurt me. I’ve since gotten over it and really don’t care anymore, but at the time, it was a big deal for me, so that’s the thing I would change.
If you had to sleep with two famous people simultaneously, who would you choose?
I’m not sure if they are famous enough to be considered for this question, but the first people who came to mind were the Atherton Twins from Cirque du Soleil’s Varekai.
If they are considered famous enough for you, then I move on to slightly more famous and just as genetically similar models, the Carlson Twins.
I have a thing for twins, it seems.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
