“If I Were”

Here’s a game that Lola got out of her self harm workbook! You just answer the questions, “If I Were….” Play along if you want!

RIP Jack Layton, NDP

If I were a politician I would be

An NDP! They are Canada’s socialist party!

If I were a pop star I would be

I would be the lead vocals of a gothy dance band! I don’t know what we’d be called.

If I were a film star I would be

I don’t want to be someone who already exists. I would like to a versatile actress though but I would prefer musicals. If I could be in something like Les Mis I would be set!

If I were in a soap opera I would be

I hate soap operas. They stress me out and I think they’re silly so I do n’t want to  be one.

If I were a writer I would be

I’ve always wanted to write my memoir. I’ve thought about typing up my journals but then while I’m doing that I think, “This is dumb” and I stop. I also have science fiction ideas or just general fiction ideas!

Lady Rainicorn from Adventure Time

A wicked book.

If I were a TV show host I would be

I would love to have my own talk show!

If I were a criminal I would be

I think I’d be a crime of passion type gal. Passion meaning pissed off and wanting people to feel like shit for being mean to me.

THE KIND THAT DOESN’T HATE!

If I were a mythical beast I would be

A UNICORN!!!! More specifically a rainbow unicorn!

If I were a Disney character I would be

Merida from Brave!

If I were a drug I would be

MDMA

If I were an animal I would be

I find I often wish I was my cat so I’ll go with a cat.

If I were a piece of food I would be

A pickle

If I were an illness I would be

Constipation. Can’t tell you why, just mostly wanted to type that word.

If I were a mood I would be

Fuck….

If I were a holiday resort I would be

A big dance resort!

If I were a pattern I would be

Skulls and awesome

If I were a tree I would be

There is a wicked tree up the street from me that I call the Tim Burton tree so I want to be that tree! It’s bare and has twisty, jagged branches!

About prideinmadness

I'm 24 years old and live in Toronto, Ontario. I refuse to see myself as "sick" and instead focus on how my experience have led me to where I am. I do work and advocacy within mental health, have severe Mad Pride and know that psychiatry needs to change.

  1. Love your answers!
    Skulls and awesome, what a great pattern! :D

  2. Those are hard questions for me to answer – but I’ll try.
    If I were a politician, I would be unsuccessful because I don’t want to be swayed by parties and institutions more focused on money than doing the right thing.

    If I were a pop star, I would actually be able to sing – and that would be great! I can’t sing, and my son has continually informed me of that since he was able to speak. So much for every child loving the sound of their mother’s voice! LOL

    If I were a film star, I would be Katherine Hepburn or Audry Hepburn. (same last name, but I don’t think they’re related. ) I just like their style and I’d have loved to be wispy like Audry!

    If I were a in a soap opera, well let’s just skip that one. I hate them. Dumb and silly.

    If I were a writer, I would write adventurous fantasy books like The Hobbit. Books that can take you away and let you forget about your life for awhile.

    If I were a tv host, I would be witty, down to earth good looking, honest, sincere … are there any hosts like that out there to compare with?

    If I were a criminal, I would be Robin Hood. You know the story!

    If I were a mythical beast, I would be a forest elf. Still going with the wispy look of Audry Hepburn.

    If I were a Disney character, I would be the main character in Brave. Although I haven’t seen the movie – I’m going off of the commercials.

    If I were a drug, I would be – WOW, that one’s REALLY tough! Do I want to repair something, create a feeling, or what? I really don’t know.

    If I were an animal, I would probably be a dog. Wanting and giving lots of love, likes to learn things, can chill or go on an adventure with you. Strong bonds, yet still maintaining their own personality.

    If I were a piece of food, I would be lasagna – complex and simple (depending on how you make it), enjoyed by most people, comforting to eat, warm, good food. Haven’t made it in years though.

    If I were an illness, I would be – why would anyone want to be an illness? As it is, I already feel like I am an illness that plagues my world. Skip.

    If I were a mood, I would be sunny, positive and loving. Also passionate.

    If I were a holiday resort, I would be Hedonism II. A fun place to be.

    If I were a pattern, I would be paisley. Don’t know exactly why, just like the swirls and curves. Remind me of the yin yang.

    If I were a tree, I would be an old, strong oak tree. Great for climbing, been around to see A LOT, provide shelter to what is in the branches and what rests below. But a maple would be cool too, with great color in the fall. No, an oak.

    • I’ve always wanted to be an elf too! Like a Legolas elf :p with a bow and arrow!

      Good point about the drug and illness question! I’m going to think about why I picked what I did.

      Thanks for sharing your answers :)

  3. Fun!

    If I were a politician I would be

    Radical and likely assassinated

    If I were a pop star I would be

    Subverting the crap out of everything, sidestepping industry middlemen left and right, and recording lengthy homage albums to Klaus Nomi.

    If I were a film star I would be

    Starring in some underground impossible-to find-thing. Like the couple I have been in, but if I were the star I’d have more lines or actions or something.

    If I were in a soap opera I would be

    I’m not sure because I could never sit through a soap opera. Pass?

    If I were a writer I would be

    I guess since I make comics and lyrics I sort of am a writer…but if I were a writer-writer I’d want to be a cross between Antonin Artaud and Kathy Acker.

    If I were a TV show host I would be

    I’m more interested in being a disruptive guest a la Crispin Glover on Letterman :)

    If I were a criminal I would be

    I’m probably already a thought criminal, as artists must sooner or later one day be…

    If I were a mythical beast I would be

    A Blengin! They were made up by the artist Henry Darger (who, if he isn’t a Mad Saint, should be!). They have big horns, butterfly wings, and are pangendered.

    If I were a Disney character I would be

    Stitch! But as a kid I felt more like Lilo.

    If I were a drug I would be

    Amanita Muscaria mushrooms

    If I were an animal I would be

    A RATTY-RAT!!!!!!!!!

    If I were a piece of food I would be

    Cacao

    If I were an illness I would be

    A societal malaise

    If I were a mood I would be

    Swinging?

    If I were a holiday resort I would be

    The Titanic

    If I were a pattern I would be

    concentric

    If I were a tree I would be

    A Halloween looking tree with an owl living in it!

  4. Love the questions. I have Copied and Pasted them into Word and I’ll answer them when I have more time (I am at work and sneaking the odd few minutes to answer masses of stuff.)
