What would it be like to be you?

Have you ever walked in cement boots? That would describe it.

Not the glamorous whirlwind one might imagine.

You would love music, books, dogs. You would enjoy time with friends, traveling anywhere, road trips, and being in nature. Short walks outside in the neighborhood all the way to hiking and camping. You’d sing when you were alone, and crank up the oldies to do housework.

You’d love the leisurely pace of Sunday morning with your husband, brunch, word puzzles, the comics, and a nice news wallow.

You’d get great joy from watching the dogs run and play or use their amazing sniffometers.

Cars would just be things to get you somewhere.

Wow, there is too much to write!

It’s challenging to be right all the time. And All-Knowing. Don’t forget the All-Knowing.

People refer to you as happy go lucky. You enjoy being silly. You would be Siamese cat crazy! You have four. You even have a Siamese cat tattoo! You would love animals and run a pet sitting business, so that you can get paid to play with other peoples pets without bringing them home.. You love technology & gadgets. You spend loads of time goofing around on your laptop & iPhone on your favorite website, Fluther!! Coffee is high on your list & you also have a Smart Water addiction. You love to read, especially while taking a bubble bath. You love to hold hands and laugh with your husband. You love muscle cars, tattoos, art, music.

You’d be in a lot of pain, and on a lot of pills and would have to constantly re-evaluate to make sure that its worth it. But you’d be smart, and loved and capable of doing absolutely anything (that isn’t sport-related) and making absolutely anything. You’d like to collect things that make you smile and help take your mind off of your responsibilities as a human for a few minutes. You’d give too many hugs and love everyone around you to the point of irrationality.

it would be something like being in a straightjacket then busting free and bouncing around like daffy duck going whoo-hoo! whoo-hoo! whoo-hoo!

Wake up at 11:00 am (yes, I’m lucky) work all day, save a little time to spend with my son on guitar hero, and get home at 4:00am and finally get to sleep by 5. Oh, and you’d have bags under your eyes until you decide to take the sleeping pills and have your wife call in for you ‘sick’.

You would feel blessed with your life. You married your best friend. He may not always be perfect, but he is a hard worker, great companion, great lover and best friend. He lives his life to make you happy. You have a wonderful, smart, beautiful daughter who amazes you every day. You have the cutest and smartest dog in the world..period! You have gotten to travel alot, enjoy collecting cookbooks and cooking special dinners for your family. You sometimes feel spoiled that your life is so good. You feel undeserving of your blessings often. You strive to be a better you every day. You try to not judge anyone and be accepting of other’s beliefs while hoping that they accept yours or at least try to understand them. Family is everything to you. You thank God everyday for the life you have. Growing up in the family that you had and the life that you knew as a child, you never dreamed life could be this good. Yeah for you! You also try to help others out who don’t have it as good as you do every chance you can. It’s pretty great to be you!

You would be very short, that’s probably what you would notice first.

You would have lots of knowledge about the social sciences and psychology in particular, and you would find that it can make people uncomfortable, but also that it’s impossible to keep a passion inside of you all the time, which is what it is.

You would be very, very busy with two jobs and more-than-full-time school, but you would feel very content at the end of the day lying down next to the person you’re lying down with, and knowing that you both are working so hard to create a life together.

My wife called in a few hours ago….
It’s for Fluther =)

You’d be addicted to fluther… oh, wait…

@johnpowell,
You must have an extremely strong back and/or Very Chafed feet!!

busy but fun. Great because you would get to help so many people.

Baffling! I’ve been at it for 32 years and am still confused!

Fun sometimes, boring sometimes?

Full of unnecessary anxiety, with random spurts of having fun. A booked schedule, and a repeditive schedule. Over all its really not all that bad being me.

You would feel very fortunate :)

You will have had to overcome many difficult situations from a very early age to find yourself at a point in life where you have a career you love, and employer you are happy with, earning enough to live a modest but comfortable lifestyle. You would be proud that the child you have raised alone is a decent student, hard worker, and a good boyfriend at just 17.

You would feel happy that you have worked so hard to beat chronic depression and low self esteem, and that you can finally say you love yourself. And you would feel truly blessed that you have just started a relationship with a wonderful man who has also been through a lot, and with whom you share so much, and who is equally dedicated as you are to putting in the effort to work at communicating and doing all you both can to make this relationship last the rest of your lives.

A lot of contemplating my existence… and then informing people that I am doing so. You know, that “I think, therefore I am” nonsense.

When the weather is horrible, you would spend as much time as possible reading. When the weather is good you would spend as much time as possible outdoors. You would
always regret having inherited thin hair, the one thing that kept you from being pretty much identical with Angelina Jolie.

You would go out a lot with your friends. During the school year, on most weekends you’re hardly home at all. During the summer, you’re hardly ever home at all. You’d attend UC Davis. You’d be lucky enough to travel the world. You’d laugh most of the day. Anddddddd…. etc.

You would be freaking out about the new drug therapy your neurologist has recommended and wondering if you will die of a rare brain infection in the next few weeks because of it.

You so don’t want to be me right now!

DRAMA =]

R you up for the challenge lol

just think about walking on water, yeah its like that

@punkrockworld…
Always!!! What would life be without it’s little challenges? Extremely boring i’d say!

You’re right!

… shopping stuff all the time, driving all the time, drinking martinis all the time, drinking coffee all the tima, reading a lot, working like thre is no tomorrow, smoking while reading and drinking coffee… is not as fun as it sounds, trust me :)

always wondered what it’d be like to go shopping and boozing while at work…

You know something, is fun, I’ve scaped work a couple of times, to hit my fav restaurant, have a buch of camparis in the afternoon, specially the sunny afternoons, get a book and just sit, you know, staring at the sun from time to time, it makes you appreciate that life is wonderful…

Should I really answer this?

your libido would be off the hook!

Ummm…ok…that was pretty weird

@Mrs_Dr_Frank,
What is pretty weird?

What charlie said

you’d be doing the happy dance cuz you didn’t get a rare brain infection that kills you from the new drug therapy your on. And you would be celebrating that the new medicine didn’t make you sick other then a three day raging headache!! Further, you’d be thankful for all your family & friends that rallied around you for your first infusion to help quell the panick of a near death experience!! Whoo hoo!! I’m back & feeling better again!!!

@lunaFemme – thats some intense stuff there. Glad you are back and better.

You would feel a lot of potential and you would have hope that one day the world will right itself…somehow. You would feel like part of something magical, and not understand how it all works. You would recognize your responsibilities and mostly satisfy them. You would go to bed and sleep good at night, even when you sleep alone for more than half the year (I <3 Iraq!). You would get insanely impatient with stupid people..at first…until you realize that you too at times are stupid, then you decide to laugh instead. You would be able to easily relate to children because children see things simply and honestly. You would get very, very silly after 10pm even to the point of goofy laughing for no good reason. You would realize there is a balance to life, and it just makes sense so you would try to find it in yourself and amplify it somehow. You would try to love and love and love and realize the impact is small but it is still an impact. wow, that is heavy. Am I taking this question too seriously?

No, noraasnave, you are not…

You would feel scared, but hopeful, of what the world has to offer. At the same time, you would feel an incredible indifference to your possibilities. You would feel complete ambivalence about life, but ready to try anything that came your way, at least once. You would be shy, but worth pursuing, and used to spending the majority of your time inside your own head. You will have loved and lost, and been angry at both your fear and hope for the world, and confused as to which caused such a loss. You would feel insecure in your own skin, but also completely sure of your intelligence, strength, and independence. You would be pretty, but feel ugly most of the time, and spend far too much time and energy pursuing some goal of self perfection or self-perception that may have been there all the while. You would be searching for something, but have plenty of time to find it.
