Karen tossed me a meme (and stole my title, because when she told me about it, before she posted, it was I who started singing Monty Python. A window washer me! With a scrub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub all day long... I'll forgive her, because memes are good. It's like the posts write themselves.)
Anyway, this is the meme:
The deal is this: choose at least five of the following sentences starters, and finish them. Add items to the end if you wish to.If I could be a scientist...
If I could be a farmer...
If I could be a musician...

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway...
Oh. That one isn't on there.
Welcome to short attention span blogging, ladies and gentleman.
Ok, yeah, let's see, blog post writes itself. Huh. Ok, If I could be the pope...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Oooh, if I could be a mime
(That was me walking into the wind.)
If I could be a spy...I actually wanted to be a spy when I was a kid. Not an Emma Peel type...even young, I knew that wasn't gonna happen...more like a female Harry Palmer. Hey, speaking of which, was Bernard Samson essentially an older Harry Palmer? I've always suspected that.
(I'm really not doing very well here, am I?)
Ok, I'll settle down and do this for real:
If I could be a farmer...I'd want an organic farm, growing crops that are traditional (or even indigenous) to this area.
If I could be a chef...I would specialize in sandwiches.
If I could be a painter...I'd paint light. I wouldn't want to be Edward Hopper, because there already was an Edward Hopper, but I love the way he painted light. Sun in an Empty Room is one of my favorite paintings.
If I could be video game designer...I'd quit and become a mime. Video games are definitely something I just don't get.
If I could be a writer...I'd write in-depth nonfiction after years of painstaking research on things that fascinate me, like Canada geese and phytonutrients and bricklaying patterns. (Actually, that would be "If I had an attention span.")
Wow, that was harder than I thought. Anybody else want to play?
