If… (Week 80)

This is week eighty 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 go back in time, as yourself, to observe any single event from history, what would you want to witness?

I feel like I answered a very similar question to this in a previous week when I answered that I would have liked to have been at the opening of Disneyland in 1955. So, just to keep it a little fresh, I’ll pick something different this week.

I think being at the opening night of Rent would have been very special for me.

If you were to choose a musical instrument that best describes your character, what would it be?

Perhaps a piano. Pretty straight-forward and everyone can be comfortable listening to one. And it has the ability to take on so many characteristics and flavors depending on how it’s played.

If you had to exchange one physical attribute with someone in the room, who would you pick, and what would you exchange with them?

I have to stop doing these while I am alone, because questions like this one become completely pointless. So, I will look around at the photographs I have in the room and choose someone in them for this question.

I choose Norm, and I would choose his arms. For some reason I just can’t seem to get mine to the level I would like them, and he has nice ones.

If you had to cancel one month of the year forevermore, so that period of time no longer existed, which month would go?

I guess February for the simple reason that it would eliminate the least time from the year since it’s the shortest month. And no vital holidays would be eliminated in doing so. Valentine’s Day is not a vital holiday.

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