This is week fifty-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 had to die in one of history’s disasters, which one would you pick?
Ew. I don’t wanna die in any of history’s disasters! On one hand I would want it to be something quick and painless, so as to not suffer. But, there’s a perverse romanticism to being a victim of something like the Titanic sinking.
If you could take revenge on any person you have ever known, who would it be, why do they deserve it, and how would you do it?
You know, I’ve thought long and hard about this one, and maybe it’s because I’m just in a certain place in my life right now where I feel emotionally weakened, or maybe it’s because I’ve just grown up enough to realize that nobody does anything to me that I don’t allow them to do to me, but the thought of taking revenge on anyone just has absolutely no appeal to me. I think the best revenge is living a good life, so that’s what I would do.
If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?
What WOULDN’T I do?! I would LOVE to be in the circus. But not a Ringling Brothers type of circus. I want to be in a Cirque du Soleil type of circus. And I honestly would have a horrible time settling on one thing I would want to do. Since I currently have no acrobatic skills, I would probably be assigned a clown role, and some of the funniest clowns I have ever seen are in Cirque du Soleil’s Varekai, so I would be honored to join those ranks. Were I able to do one of the actual stunts in the show, it would be impossible to pick. I would love to do Aerial Straps, Silks, Trampoline, all sorts of things.

If you could master one type of cuisine, which would you choose?
Vegan, obviously.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
