message 52: by Juliana (new)

Juliana (julezrussell) I would haunt my buddies and go to concerts every night to party hardcore! =) Good charlotte...Panic at the Disco...Sum 41...good times, good times! =D Oh...and spend most of my time floating through walls. That was in the job description.

What if a random person gave you a pet elephant?


message 53: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashleywilliams75) I would have to build him an elephant house and name him of course. Walking him would sure draw a lot of attention!

What if you woke up on an alien spaceship?


message 56: by Ashley (new)

What if reading were a career?


message 60: by [deleted user] (new)

I would have tried out for cheer leading my freshman year instead of my senior year. I had a freaking blast and I am angry that it was over in one year!


What if you had an angry troll for a child?


message 64: by Yefim (new)

Tanecia  (books101) | 3773 comments Mod

What if you could only eat raw meat and nothing else?


message 66: by Jamiegirl (new)

Jamiegirl (jamesfraserslady) | 51 comments I'd be in biiiig trouble seeing as I'm as close to vegetarian as you can get without actually being one. I don't eat meat except for VERY well done Steak. I prefer it burnt actually. Raw? Eeew. Start digging the hole for my grave.


What if you could somehow be "transported" to the fictional world of your choice? In which book"world" would you choose to live in?


message 67: by Thomas (new)

Thomas Wilson (StorytellerTDW) | 53 comments I would choose the world from my second novel, since I created it I would be like a God and adjust and change things as will. Now that's really scary!!

What if nobody but you could read or write - it's been outlawed and forgotten for so long everybody just forgot how! Would you re-introduce it? Teach People? Even if it was illegal?


message 68: by Britnie (new)

Britnie | 99 comments I would definitely try to teach those who wanted to learn. I'd get caught and it wouldn't end well, but who wants to live in a world with out being able to read anyway?

If you died and had the chance to come back as a "ghost", would you? If so what would you do and who would you "haunt"?


message 69: by Fauuzzie (new)

Fauuzzie (faize) I'd come back as a ghost and haunt Justin Bieber!! Haha. No I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to become a ghost.

What would be the first thing you say upon getting shot? (Non-fatal)

What if you had to live in a past century?


message 73: by Fauuzzie (new)

Fauuzzie (faize) I would fully embrace the Victorian lifestyle. And then shoot myself because I couldn't fuel my Criminal Minds addiction.

What would you do if it was discovered that extraterrestrials DO exist?


message 74: by Fauuzzie (new)

Fauuzzie (faize) Depends how serious my hate for this "enemy" is. If it's just a grudge thing, then I'd get over it. But if it's, say, someone who wants to kill me, then I'd probably try to off him/her before he/she gets the chance to do so.

What if everyone in the world had to voice every opinion and thought they had the second they got it?


message 75: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t Heaven's forfend! My Reader. I'd read by candleight.

What author would you choose if you could only read their books for the rest of your life?


message 76: by Fauuzzie (new)

Fauuzzie (faize) I hate you, Pat. I really do. JK:) Ummmm....probably DJ MacHale. His Pendragon series is REALLY long, so I'd have a decent amount of material.


What if you were continually haunted by what-ifs?


message 77: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t cry me a river why don't you Hannah? (*snicker*)

Meagan | 280 comments That would be interesting.
What if you died next month? What would you do?


message 80: by Melody (last edited Feb 26, 2013 02:28AM) (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) If I died I'd be dead. So, I suppose I'd go to Heaven, hopefully. Maybe learn to play the harp ;). If I found out I only had a month to live I'd spend the entire time with my family. Take my son out of school and probably go on trip to Italy.

What if you woke up the opposite gender?


message 81: by Meagan (new)

Meagan | 280 comments I honestly would be horrified
What if you woke up 10 years younger?


message 82: by Duks (new)

Duks (cnduks_) | 1836 comments That would be great!

What if you woke up blind?


message 83: by [deleted user] (new)

I would be devastated because I love art but I am sure with time I could cope and my other senses would eventually take over, other people live normal perfectly happy lives. It'd be a challenge.

What if you won the lottery, 200 million dollars?


message 84: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 8 comments I would keep enough to be comfortable, get through college, but use it wisely and donate it to very good causes. I honestly wouldn't know what to do with all that money other than give it to someone who needs it. And travel. And maybe buy a pool or a dance hall or something (ha, ha).

What if you could travel in time?


message 85: by Meagan (new)

Meagan | 280 comments I would go back and witness every event I wish I could have seen
What if you could see the future?


message 86: by -RininTa- (new)

-RininTa- (rinz) | 159 comments Oh wow! I really want to have that power like Alice Cullen. I could use that power to see my future and prevented the mistakes. But I'm a little bit scared because I'm not ready if I saw something very terrible in my or everybody life.

What if you found a map about mysterious treasures?


message 87: by Melody (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) It would give me something to do over the weekend. Hunting for buried treasure - fun.

What if your dog started talking to you?


message 88: by [deleted user] (new)

i don't have a dog but i have cat and i am thinking that they'd have lot to say seeing as i have one cat who meows incessantly!

What if you were the last person on earth?


message 89: by Whitney Greene (new)

Whitney Greene | 15 comments Well that would suck. I don't know what I would do. I guess hang onto life and keep hoping that I find someone else. It would be very sad knowing that when I died, that was it, no more humans :(

What if you woke up with amazing super powers?


message 90: by Melody (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) I'd hope it was flight or speed so I'd wouldn't have to drive my vehicle any longer. Gas prices are simply too ridiculously high.

What if the sun never rose again?


message 91: by Meagan (new)

Meagan | 280 comments I would miss the feel if the sun on my face
What if you we're Lois Lane from superman?

What if you went into your bedroom and there was a gian frog sitting on your bed? lol my sister gave me that


message 94: by Brandy (new)

Brandy Nacole (brandynacole) | 173 comments I would probably freak them depending on the frogs response to my girly screams, I would ask why it was on my bed and where it came from.

What if a mermaid came to you while visiting the beach one day and gave you the option to join the mere-folk, would you turn them away or get your fins?


message 95: by Melody (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) Turn them away, I like legs.

What if your dog started talking to you, would they say something nice?

Duks (cnduks_) | 1836 comments I would hope so. The last 16 yrs were the best years that I had... Still miss him

What if "Freaky Friday" happened to you?

*You & your mother switch bodies.


message 97: by Melody (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) I think my mother would be happy to be younger.

What if you could speak any and every language with ease?


message 98: by Mildred (new)

Mildred (mildredchristi) I would be able to help so many people that way and make it so there were fewer misunderstanding in the world.

What if your family did not want you?


message 99: by Melody (new)

Melody (scarlettoad) I can't even imagine, I don't want to imagine. I love my family too much.

What if you woke up one morning in a different life?

Mildred (mildredchristi) Avoid falling asleep again until I had thoroughly enjoyed the different life.
