Tag...I'm it
Jen, the sweetheart in charge of Lintefiniel Musing, has tagged me to participate in a new meme (she's also threatened me if I don't participate, although she'll deny it if you ask her, so don't even bother...but keep in mind that she works in law enforcement). Here's how it works:
How this works: Immediately following there is a list of a bunch of 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.
Once you’re done you get to tag three people you think will actually respond - and would have a good answer. Oh, and by all means, don’t forget to trackback to this post… and to Ogre’s original post so he can keep tracking the progress of his little creation.
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 a servicemember…
If I could be a photographer…
If I could be a philanthropist…
If I could be a rap artist…
If I could be a child actor…
If I could be a secret agent…
If I could be a comedian/comedienne…
[The last two occupations were added by me for the next participants to consider.]
OK, I think this is harder than it looks; I'm pretty content with what I do now. But I'll take a shot:
- If I could be an innkeeper...I'd open a combination inn and dive shop on a little Caribbean island.
- If I could be a photographer...I'd specialize in underwater photography.
- If I could be a rap artist...I'd jack up a Pepsi truck and ride around in it all day (oh wait; somebody's already doing that, aren't they?).
- If I could be a musician...I'd play classical guitar.
- If I could be a painter...I'd be able to finish the job that our current (*&^##(& painter started and hasn't finished (look, you be the kind of painter you want to be and I'll be the kind of painter I want to be).
OK...having completed this exercise, I'm going to pass the baton to the following victims participants for their consideration:
- Rachel over at Life Being Beautiful
- Cowtown Pattie over at Texas Trifles
- And, finally, just for the sheer pleasure of the annoyance that it will bring him, Scott over at The Fat Guy (Ah, quitcher complaining; you got a link out of it, dintcha?)
Update: Here's Scott's contribution, and here's Rachel's. Oh, and here's CP's, so we're all done. Excellent!
You are quick!
Well, that's one reason I tagged you. ;-)

Thanks for playing. =)
Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 09:34 AM...you're a decent sort.
OK, there's no need to resort to name-calling!
As fas as a deadline, how about your maximum annoyance level minus one hour?
...
Jen, you're welcome! (I wouldn't do this for just anybody, you know. Scott was really talking about you. ;-)
