Muzzy, after hours of contemplation, here is my response to the tag. I hope it is sufficient. I love the sculptor comment. I love that song. Thanks for the laugh.
Immediately following there is a list of 18? 19? 20? different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with "If I could be..." Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession. For example, if the selected occupation was "pirate" you might take the phrase "If I could be a pirate..." and add to it "I would sail the 7 Seas, dating lasses from around the world." See how easy that is?
Here's the list:
* If I could be a scientist...
* If I could be a farmer...
* If I could be a musician...
* If I could be a doctor...
* If I could be a painter...
* If I could be a gardener...
* If I could be a missionary...
* If I could be a chef...
* If I could be an architect...
* If I could be a linguist...
* If I could be a psychologist...
* If I could be a librarian...
* If I could be an athlete...
* If I could be a lawyer...
* If I could be an innkeeper...
* If I could be a professor...
* If I could be a writer...
* If I could be a llama-rider...
* If I could be a bonnie pirate...
* If I could be an astronaut...
* If I could be a politician . . .
* If I could be a kid again . . .
* If I could be an animal . . .
* If I could be a tree . . .
* If I could be a celebrity . . .
Blogizdat added:
* If I could be a blogger...
* If I could be a sculptor...
* If I could be a Phd...
* If I could be a supermodel...
* If I could be a Barbie...
I hereby add:
*If I could be Donald's Apprentice....
*If I could be a Japanese rapper...
*If I could be a writer for Travel & Leisure...
*If I could be a first chair violinist...
*If I could be an alpaca farmer...
If I could be a celebrity, I'd say adios reality, people think I'm cool acting like a fool, just cuz I'm on TV...
If I were a linguist, I'd speak a different language every time I entered an elevator just to get back at those dang people who've done that every time I've been in one...I know you're talking about me!!!
If I could be a writer for Travel & Leisure, I'd probably never come home...
That's about all I got for now. I'm tagging Melissa. And if Todd reads this site anymore, I'd love hearing your take. :)
Posted by Portia at April 25, 2005 09:28 PMUm, very nice, but that's only four. May I offer my assistance with a fifth?
If I could be a Japanese rapper I would only rap in Engrish.
Posted by: Muzzy at April 26, 2005 12:59 AMOK, so I can't count. That was only three, so I need one more here. Hmm. If I were Donald's apprentice, eh, this is too easy... I'd take him to Cost Cutters to get a decent $12 haircut.
Posted by: Muzzy at April 26, 2005 01:03 AMDefinitely with you on the Donald one. I just couldn't come up with anything after three. Thanks for the help. :)
Posted by: Emily at April 26, 2005 08:59 AMIf I were a sculptor...but then again, no.
(That's a song reference, btw, but as Muzzy might say, "Think about it.")
