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. 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 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.

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
