Debby | 3804 comments I would have grown up able to listen to, trust and respond to my "gut" instinct (which I always talked myself out of doing) when a situation was fearful or wrong and I would grow up able to say NO with confidence and conviction. But, in reality, that would have taken a different form of parenting too.

If you could write a children's book what would the story entail.


message 452: by Anne (new)

Anne | 624 comments I would write a young adult novel about how a teenage girl fights against being gay because she fears losing the love of her family and the respect of her friends, how she finds the courage to come out, who supports her, what her first romance/s and gay friends are like, how she feels when she allows herself to be who she really is. I think it takes a LOT of courage to come out.

If you could change places with someone for a day, who would it be?

Debby | 3804 comments I'd choose to have crystal clear 20/20 vision and be able to read, knit, do counted cross stitch, drive a car and see my loved one's faces clearly. Of course, I would HATE to have to give it up after 24 hours and go back to how little I see now and still have all the intrusive visual hallucinations. But...hope!

If you could inherit something of sentimental value to you from someone you love, what would it be?


message 454: by Petra X (new)

message 463: by Debby (last edited Jan 07, 2009 06:50PM) (new)

Debby | 3804 comments I'm not a fan of reality TV shows. But, in order to jump start this, I'll answer this question.

I'd be on the Home Makeover show. We own a home that is almost 100 years old and some of the rooms could definitely use a face lift.

If you could sky dive with the 100% guarentee that NOTHING would happen.. would you?!


message 466: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) Sure. Maybe. Possibly. Gee, I don't know about that. Nah, don't think so, its the jumping bit when I think about it. I like the idea of the flying bit, but not the jumping and falling bits.

If you could have any guy/girl in the world for just one night (they turn into pumpkin muffins at breakfast) who would it be?


message 467: by Debby (last edited Jan 09, 2009 06:42PM) (new)

If you could make the decision all over again, would you:
a) get married when you were a bit older

Debby | 3804 comments That's a hard choice. I have a Tweety Bird mug and a Tazmanian Devil mug and I really like the Road Runner! I like the "innocence" of Tweety, the "craziness" of Taz and the Road Runner's ability to come out on top everytime!
