This is week thirty-one 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 avoided living one year from your past, which year would you like to have eliminated?
There haven’t been any full years from my life that I’ve not enjoyed to the point where I would completely eliminate them, so I guess I’d just go ahead and eliminate the very first year. I have no memories from that age anyway, so it wouldn’t be as if I was wiping any of my memories out of existence. It seems like the most logical answer to the question as well.
If you could have the home phone number of anyone in the world, whose would it be, and what would you say to them?
Does anyone even have a home phone anymore? Everyone I know only uses their cell phone. But regardless, I think it would be a treat to have Ellen DeGeneres’ phone number. She’d be a hoot and a holler (that’s the Iowan in me coming out) to talk to.
If you could commit one crime without being caught, what crime would you commit?
I’d steal something. Something expensive. Something I’d never be able to afford on my own. A car maybe. Or a dream house. But how exactly would one go about stealing a house? Maybe I’d just have to doctor the deeds and the paperwork. That’s illegal, right?
If you were kidnapped and could bring only one personal possession, what would you take?
Well, I assume a phone would be the smartest thing, as I would be able to call for help. But something tells me the kidnappers would be a little smarter than to allow me to bring my phone with me. But since that wasn’t eliminated as an option in the question, I’m picking it. What stupid kidnappers I have.
Those are my answer’s to this week’s questions. What are yours?
