My turn for a meme!

I've seen this on Snowelf's blog (yes, I do make a lot of references to her...mostly because she was my firstest, and is my bestest, blog-world-buddy), then on Lime's blog, now on Charles' blog...so it's my turn. Plus, I didn't really have anything interesting to post today except some random stories and pix from Japan, but the $*#&*&!!! pix wouldn't load up because my $*#&&!@#! Internet connection is too slow...

If I were going to steal a meme from Snowelf, Lime blog, or Charles... it would be this one.

If I were a beginning, I would be...January 1st--full of hope, promise, and not weighed down by the sins and shortcomings of the previous year.

If I were a month, I would be...October. Halloween, pumpkins, fall weather, and the World Series--what's not to love?

If I were a time of day, I would be...that quiet time right before the sun comes up.

If I were a planet, I would be...hmm, I guess Earth since it's the only one I'm familiar with...

If I were a direction, I would be...up.

If I were a piece of furniture, I would be...an entertainment center!

If I were a sin, I would be...lzns*

If I were a liquid, I would be...mercury. The first time I saw it I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

If I were a scare, I would be...one that's a false alarm, so no one gets hurt or anything.

If I were a gem, I would be...uh, a ruby? It's my birthstone.

If I were a sound, I would be...laughter.

If I were an element, I would be...copper, I guess--it'd go along with my red hair (?)

If I were a car, I would be...a 1968 Mustang fastback flying over the hilly streets of San Francisco, just like the one Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt.

If you've never heard it go to this link and click the play button...and here is a rock and roll version of it (actually pretty good!)

If I were a food, I would be...pizza! MMMMMMM....piiiiiiiiizaaaaaaaa......

If I were a place, I would be...a small town where everyone knows everyone else, people are genuine, and things like family and relationships and faith matter way more than money or what you wear or drive. Kinda like Mayberry but not as corny.

If I were a religion, I would be...one that offered people grace, hope, love, and the absolute assurance of an afterlife of blissful joy. One that welcomed all people as they are but encouraged them to become better people, and one that encouraged people to "leave the campsite cleaner than they found it." But not one that discriminated, one that had an 'us and them' mentality, or one that was condescending...

If I were a sentence, I would be...long and rambling, with a lot of big words, and then you'd get to the end of it and go "Uh, what the hell was that all about?"

If I were a facial expression, I would be...a smile.

If I were a collection of poems, I would be...Sonnets from the Portuguese.

If I were a landmass, I would be...big, full of lots of geographic, meterological, and biological diversity, one untouched by modern industry, and one where everyone would want to visit for a peaceful vacation.

If I were a watch, I would be...something Swiss.

If I were God, I would be...see my previous answer about religion--I'd be a God that would make all that happen.

If I were a consonant, I would be..."Q". It's quirky and always proceeds "U".

If I were a theory, I would be...intelligent design.

If I were a famous person, I would be...one that kids and parents could look up to, that was humble, had some great achievements, and didn't have any scandal or skeletons in the closet. Kinda like my General Chuck Yeager, one of my personal heroes.

If I were a sport, I would be...running (that was EASY!)

If I were a movie, I would be...Chariots of Fire--the best movie about running I've ever seen.

If I were a cartoon, I would be...Calvin & Hobbes or possibly Apu Nahasapeemapetalon, just because he's got such a cool name...

If I were a scientist, I would be...Professor Johnathan I.Q. Nerdelbaum Frink, Jr.

If I were a relation, I would be...the nutty, sometimes too busy to stay in touch, world travelling brother that you love with your whole heart and would do anything for, knowing he'd do the same for you. Oh wait, I am that brother. (C;

If I were a river, I would be...one that provided a constant supply of fresh water to millions of people in a third-world country

If I were intoxication, I would be...fun but not judgement- or driving-impairing, and would not leave you with a hangover.

If I were a habit, I would be...a good one--like exercising every day, watching what you eat, etc.

If I were in an atom, I would be...about a bajillion times smaller than what I am right now.

If I were you, I would be...interested in this meme enough to swipe it, make your own, and then make a comment on my (your?) blog with a link to your (my?) version of it...

* I was going to type "laziness" but it seemed like it was too much work.

More later...
