If..

IF ...

If I could choose the music at my own funeral, I would choose: Louie Armstrong – What a wonderful world; Chantal Kreviazuk – Say goodnight, not goodbye; Jesse Cook – Virtue; Rufus Wainwright – Hallelujah; Warren Zevon – Keep me in your heart.

If I had to name my single worst fear, it would be: A house fire. I am completely neurotic about fire. I have FIVE fire proof safes with everything valuable and un-replaceable stored inside them. Sometimes it makes showing my friends and family the latest pictures in our photo album a challenge, but hey! At least I know if anything happened the things that I place worth and value in are protected.

If I had to describe the single worst thing a friend can do, it would have to be: The worst thing I can think of a friend doing to me would be pity me. Random strangers are allowed pity. Friends are supposed to get in the mud and muck with you and help you out of whatever situation you may find yourself in. Pity strikes me as a lack of empathy and understanding. If my friends don’t understand me, or care to, they aren’t around me very long.

If I could eliminate, forever, one cause of death on Earth, I would choose: Genocide. I could easily pick MS because my sister is suffering so dearly at the hands of it, but ultimately I believe that a disease such as MS, cancer, etc. is nature taking its very painful unintelligible un-logical course. In genocide it is a man making that choice to inflict the end of many lives for very painful unintelligible un-logical reasons.

If I had the opportunity to eliminate one odor from the Earth, it would be: Barf!!! Can the retching noise go with it too??

If I was to select a food that best describes my character, I would choose: Devils Food Chocolate *grinz* do I really need to explain that?

If I could teach my children only one lesson in life, I would teach them to always: have a vision about their lives and the direction they wish them to go. Visions incur dreams, which incur motivation and drive. Those things equal success in personal and professional realms.

If I had to be a member of another family I know, I would choose to join: None. Every family – even the ones that look perfect on the outside – are all screwed up somewhere. I’ll stick to the chaos that I know.

If I had to choose the single greatest work of art in history, whether picture, piece of music, book, play, or film, I would choose: Music….Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik allegro. Everyone knows the song, even if they don’t recognize the title. It brings out the inner-conductor in everyone.



~ Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik allegro; Sorry the video is of strangers on a boat, but it was the only video I could find of the song *lol*~

If I had to describe my idea of the perfect mate, I would say: Lance. He is a wonderfully balanced secure and healthy person. He completes me. (To steal a cheesy line from Tom Cruise)

If I could go back to any age and start a different life, I would choose: To be 12 years old and re-do every decision I made from that time frame on. I would hold myself accountable to my vision and my dreams.

If I could only keep one home appliance, I would choose to keep the: Refrigerator. I could learn to wash by hand, cook over a fire, etc. but I so do not want to figure out how to store food with an ice block.

If I were to be reincarnated as an animal, I would choose to be returned as a: house cat. My Pandora has THE life. She is the queen; we all exist to make sure she is sufficiently spoiled.

If I could ask a single question of a dead relative, I would ask: Why my Grandpa threw out all of his medals, uniforms, and pictures from WW2. He spent his life telling me stories about the war but also told me that he wanted nothing to remain of his time in it. I would like to understand his internal conflict.

If I had to choose a musical instrument that best matched my character, I would choose the: Guitar, preferably the Spanish Guitar. You can make them sing the sweetest of songs, or scream the bitterest of pain. Other instruments can join them, or they can stand alone.

If I could be anyone in history for one day, I would choose to be: Hitler. I would love to know what truly made him tick. I search for understanding in all places…likely I would still be as confused as I am today about his whole regime, but at least then I could say I tried.

If I had to choose the best television show ever made, I would choose: MASH.

If I could choose one new symbol for our family crest, I would choose a: Raguly line – which indicates that difficulties have been encountered, but I would chose to have it in green. Green indicates Hope, joy, loyalty and love. I would also add a butterfly which indicates soul.

If I could change one thing about my life, I would: have a Doctorate in Archeology.

If I had to confess to one crime I have already committed, I would confess to: Speeding.

If I had to choose, from what I own right now, what clothes to be buried in, I would choose: My white chords, Brown fitted shirt, and hounds tooth blazer with my spiky heeled pointy toed boots.

If I could be on the cover of any magazine next month, I would choose to be on the cover of: Home and Garden, because that would mean that I actually had a freekin clue about how to plant flowers. *lol*

If everything in the world had to have the same odor, I would want it to smell like: Nothing. If everything smelt the same day in and day out I wouldn’t want to smell anything.

If I had to name the job I would absolutely hate the most, it would be: sewage, garbage removal…really… anything with an over powering smell.

If I had to go out tonight to be tattooed, I would choose a: ½ moon with stars and the Kanji symbol for DREAM.

If I had to name the most important invention in history, I would choose: Penicillin. Our entire medical history and ability for advancement changed the day that Alexander Flemming invented penicillin.

If I had to change my race, I would choose to be: Indian…as in from India. I’ve polled friends, and searched google and I have no idea what people from India call themselves, but they are some of the most spiritually enlightened people in the world and I would love to learn from them.

If I could accomplish only one thing in the rest of my life, I would choose to: Travel the world and learn as much about different cultures as possible.

If I could break one current world sports or Guinness Book of World Records mark, I would: be on record for winning the worlds largest ever lottery. *grinz*

If my plane was about to crash and I had time to write one quick note, I would write to: My loved ones.

If I could change one thing that would make life easier for my own gender, I would change: how women view physical beauty.

If I had to sacrifice my own life for one thing, I would choose that thing to be: The lives of my family.

If I could recover one thing that I've lost in my lifetime, it would be: My compassion as a whole. I have retained compassion for certain people and things, but I find that it is selective now rather than encompassing.

If I could spend one year looking for one thing in the world, I would look for: Archeological dig in Machu Picchu. Whatever I found would just be a bonus to living on top of that gorgeous mountain for a year.

If I had to choose the single biggest mistake I have made in my life so far, it would be: not applying myself through school to reach my dreams.

If I had to name the stupidest purchase I ever made, I would choose: Those 5 inch spike strapy sandals that I CANNOT walk in. WHAT was I thinking!??!!?

If I learned tomorrow that I was to be permanently exiled from my country and that I could take just three things with me, those things would be: Lance. Money. Passport.

If I were to be cremated, I would want my ashes: spread through Maligne Canyon and The Rock.

If I had to pick the most difficult question I could be asked, it would be: Why did you give up on yourself?

IF any of you want a real challenge, attempt to fill out these questions....99% of these things I have never thought of...It was interesting to do.
