Survey-ish thing I made up using the "Big Book of IF..."

<i>If you were to have Shakespeare to dinner tonight and could invite one other person from history, who would you pick?</i>  I would want to invite Plato, because it'd be really interesting to get the two of them talking about society (during any time frame).  However...I'd rather it be Mark Twain and Plato; that'd be fun.

<i>If you had to name a smell that always makes you nostalgic, what would it be?</i>  The smell of Christmas tree lots...my top favorite thing to do in December :)

<i>If you could have heard the deathbed confession of one person from history, who would you pick?</i>  Well, even though he wasn't on a literal deathbed, or was it a literal confession either, I'd like to have heard Jesus.

<i>If you had to name the subject you took in school that turned out to be least useful or worthwhile, what would it be?</i>  For me, probably..no, most definitely (so far) intermediate algebra.  I don't remember anything.

<i>If you could regulate (or deregulate) somking, what rules would you make (or repel)?</i>  I'd want those "no smoking within twenty feet of a door or window" laws enforced, and no smoking in the outdoor parts (or indoor...for that matter (obviously in other states)) of restaurants.

<i>If you could study one subject in school that you didn't, or wasn't offered, what would it be?</i>  High school drama (wasn't offered).

<i>If you could be on the cover of any magazine next month, which magazine would you want it to be, and what would the caption say?</i>  Time, and "17-year old writes a book that changes everything."  And I'd look hot, too.

<i>If you had to pick the most important quality for a leader of your country, what would it be?</i>  The leader would have to listen. to. the. public.  Everyone, including the "unimportant kids."

<i>If you could change the ending to one movie you have seen, which one would it be, and how would you reshoot it?</i>  I'd change the ending of Gerry, but I won't say how, because hello, spoiler.

<i>If you could reverse the effects of any one environmental problem that we are currently faced with, what problem would you choose to mend?</i>  Global warming.

<i>If you could have any type of fresh cut flowers delivered to your home every week, what one type would you pick?</i>  Brightly colored roses.

<i>If you could go back in time, as yourself, to observe any single event from history, what would you want to witness?</i>  I'm going to go Biblical again... the parting of the red sea would be cool.  Or!  To be completely opposite-end-of-spectrum, Babe Ruth's home run.

<i>If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?</i>  The cello.

<i>If you had to lose one of your five sense, which would you give up?</i>  ESP(N) (whoever gets the joke and what movie its from gets a prize!)  Well, what do we have...we have see, hear, feel, smell, and taste.  I'd give up taste.

<i>If you could only keep one of your five senses, which would you save?</i>  The ability to hear.  Music, laughter, and the voices of those I love.  (And, if not that, touch.)

<i>If you could become famous for doing something that you don't currently do, what would it be?</i>  Being on stage in musicals.

<i>If your home were to be totally destroyed by fire but you could save just one thing, what would it be?</i>  My bear.

<I>If you could have composed any single piece of music that already exists, which would you choose?</i>  The Moonlight Sonata.

<i>If you could spend a weekend in any hotel in the world with all expenses paid, which hotel would you choose?</i>  Hah.  The Hyatt, downtown San Diego.

<i>If you could say one sentence to the leader of the country you are presently in, what would you say?</i>  Fix things...and take a course on English grammar.

<i>If you had to eliminate one season permanently (spring, summer, autumn, or winter), which one would go?</i>  Spring.  Hands down, no question.  It's just...yucky to me, lol.

<i>If you had to choose someone with you right now to be the president of the United States, who would you want it to be?</i>  My mom.

<i>If you had to choose the worst book ever written, what would it be?</i>  Another easy one:  Jonathon Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." 

<i>If you could have any single view from your bed, what would it be?</i>   The view from my chiropractor's office.  The ocean, the bay, flanked with some of downtown, and the airport. 

het ned.
