What if.......

[yeishia]

What if you had the opportunity to drop everything and restart fresh somewhere, like a relocation program kind of thing. Would you take it?

Yes

 

[Britwitch]

What if I had a sign-up sheet that contained two lists: People who just want to have sex with me like a one night stand, or People who want to know me as a friend on a longer term basis. Which one would you sign up for, or maybe not for either?

The second. As awesome as I know the first would be would rather know you forever than have you for one night.

What if you could have one (just one) superpower from any comic book superhero. What would it be and why?

Either to be able to fly or become invisible. Tough choice, probably go for flying though.

What if you actually met someone from lit in person?

Depending on the person...lots of hugs probably, lots of laughs hopefully, lots of rude stuffs...possibly...

What if your next door neighbor turned into a zombie?

whispers

I think they already are!

What if a giant asteroid was heading to earth, one big enough to wipe out mankind and send the world into another ice age, and you were one of the few selected to go to a top secret safely bunker for repopulation purposes?

It'd be weird. Very weird. But if I had to...I'd do what was necessary.
Not sure I'd be on such a list though.

Here is a favorite old standby: What if.....you won the lottery. You know, the BIG one! Hundreds of millions of dollars, and you are the only winner! What would you do with the money? Would you quit your job? Would you give some of it to friends or family? What would you buy with it? Would you share it with anyone here on Lit?

Pay off debts and debts of family, invest in the business ideas of friends rather than just give money, would still work but only because I want to.
Lots of holidays.

Maybe buy a resort somewhere lucious and ever so warm, make it private and open it up to the lovely folks of Lit

What if you had the opportunity to drop everything and restart fresh somewhere, like a relocation program kind of thing. Would you take it?

I kind of did. Not exactly a program but I did drop everything and move.

I would not quit my job. First thing I'd do is pay everything off and give it to parts of my family that need it. I'm not really sure what, I'd buy as most thing I get are out of impulse, though it would make shopping for Christmas and birthdays great as there are time I want to give someone something really cool, but just don't have the money. Would I share it with anyone on Lit, it would have to be someone I was close to so.... I don't think so.

 

[Britwitch]

What if they made a movie of your life...who do you think should or would you want/like to play you?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I would give two weeks notice. No one deserve the torture of cleaning up y office and trying to finish the rest of my work. Then I would ask everyone here for their address, and drive around the country meeting all of my lit friends. First stop, the home of Thyri. I would buy you a brand new rifle. I don't know the first thing about guns, but I would hire someone who does so that I could pick out the perfect gift.

*Kisses you gratefully* You're very thoughtful. I'd like to think I have all the firearms I actually want, but just when I think I've fulfilled my wish list, I hear about another that I'd like. Getting to meet you in person would be the best treat though. We could sit out on my courtyard deck by the koi pond and talk about philosophy and life.

I love the what if game...I play it often just by myself. Guess that's just daydreaming isn't it

So first, I'd chose list #2...I'd like to be Thyri's friend, she's one of those people who has that special spark in them.

Then I'd want to have telepathic powers like Professor Xavier

There's one person from Lit I have often thought I would like to meet in person, if only to be able wrap my arms around her and give her a real hug.

If my neighbor was a zombie I am afraid that I would become dinner...sad but true.

Giant asteroid? If I was chosen I'd be sure there was a mistake, but if they want these faded genes they can have them. (Sounds like a good thread idea, has it been done? I love a good post-apocalyptic story.)

And if I won big in the lottery? I'd make sure my parents wanted for nothing the rest of their lives, and I'd help out the rest of the family and my RW friends in smaller ways. There are a few on Lit I would find a way to do something nice for as well...but it would be in secret. With that kind of money I could find them and be able to do one really great thing for them. (that sounded far less creepy stalkerish in my head)

Think that's it....I have no what if to add to the mix at this point. Have to think on that.


Oooh, missed that last one...that's a hard one. I'd want to, but I couldn't. Not as long as my parents are alive.

Special spark, eh? That is probably just the gleam in my eye when I meet a beautiful woman or a handsome man. Either that or the glimmer of orneriness. But thank you for the sentiment.

Telepathic powers would probably round out my top three choices for a superpower, but it sure would be hard to choose. Then again, adamantium razor sharp claws that I could have 'at hand' at any moment would be interesting, as would the ability to turn into something immensely powerful whenever I got angry. But I'd probably abuse those powers too much.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

What if you had the opportunity to drop everything and restart fresh somewhere, like a relocation program kind of thing. Would you take it?

I have sort of done this. When my husband died I moved up to Ohio for several years to be with my parents and family. That's not exactly starting with nothing since I knew they'd help and support me if I needed help, but it was definitely starting over. I had to figure out what I was going to do with my life after realizing that being a wife and mother were not going to be my future anymore.

What if they made a movie of your life...who do you think should or would you want/like to play you?

Hmm, I'm not sure it would be much of a movie. Maybe more like a soap opera. In any case, I haven't been keeping up with celebrities much because I find them boring and shallow. But who would I like to play me if I could have anyone? I'd be flattered if Katherine Hepburn could play me. I know she's waaaayyyy older, and deceased now besides. But wouldn't that be a performance! Paula Dean probably has the more realistic accent though. Then again, from the middle of the movie onwards, it wouldn't matter much.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

I saw a .380 snubnose revolver in a gunshop in the city where I work. I didn't even know they made such a thing, but it was pretty cool. It used moon clips to hold the rounds in the chambers. After doing some research I found out that Charter Arms makes a revolver snubbie that will shoot 9mm, without using a moon clip. I'd love to get one as my carry gun, but no one seems to be able to stock them so far. Well, there is a gun show in my town this weekend, so maybe I'll get lucky!

*hopes Blessing gets lucky*

Would you quit your job? Would you give some of it to friends or family? What would you buy with it? Would you share it with anyone here on Lit?

If I won the money? I would go back to school. My kidlets would go to whatever school they chose. I would find a decent banker to help with making decisions about investments and the like. I WOULD NOT quit my job. I love my job, am damned good at it and if I had to sit on my ass all day, I'd go nuts.

There are certain people from LIT that would get cash from me~baby mama tops that list. Certain other litizens could defintely count on a visit. And what would i buy? Not much of anything, to be honest...outside of a house...built to my specifications and at least 20 acres of land, on a mountain...

What if you had the opportunity to drop everything and restart fresh somewhere, like a relocation program kind of thing. Would you take it?

YES. Nuff said.

What if they made a movie of your life...who do you think should or would you want/like to play you?

If I had a choice~Halle Berry.
We look enough alike that she could pull it off...and my life has been dramatic enough at certain points that I am sure she'd win an Oscar for it.

Of course it's the second one. You're an amazing person.

What if.....

What if you could have one (just one) superpower from any comic book superhero. What would it be and why?

Hmm.....comic book?

Uh. probably the telepathic aspect- ESP/ Mental Domination.

What if you actually met someone from lit in person?

I would like that very much. And probably pounce them.

What if your next door neighbor turned into a zombie?

I don't really have an neighbors...

What if a giant asteroid was heading to earth, one big enough to wipe out mankind and send the world into another ice age, and you were one of the few selected to go to a top secret safely bunker for repopulation purposes?

Ha...like they would pick me.

I would help my Dad with the bills.

I would both move us away from our place and go to Cali or NY..or somewhere near.

I would help my sisters.

I would go after my dreams.

What if you had the opportunity to drop everything and restart fresh somewhere, like a relocation program kind of thing. Would you take it?

Mhmm...if I could take my Dad with me.

What if they made a movie of your life...who do you think should or would you want/like to play you?

Um Keisha Knight Pulliam(Rudy from the CosbyShow) Or Megan Good.

 

[BeautifulDream]

If I won the lottery? Hmm... I would build myself a house with a huge kitchen. Buy myself my dream cars, set up a trust for my nephew and god daughter. Then I wouldn't know what do with the rest... probably give some to charities, and yes help out people who could use it even if they are on here. I don't need a lot of money to be happy but I'll probably stash some away for whatever. And no I wouldn't quit my job, I love working.

Relocate? I don't think I would... I like where I am.

Movie of my life? Well I'd hope for Natalie Portman because she's so damn beautiful! But she's too short to play me.

 

[Daddi_DJ]

What if you realized who you thought you were was not really who you were??

 

[Annisthyrienne]

If I won the lottery, I'd help out my family and friends, but not without strings attached. One of those strings would be that they must take a debt free money management course from Dave Ramsey, which I would pay for, but they must do that before they got the money. The reason for this is because I think a large gift of money to someone who really doesn't know how to handle it would only be detrimental.

Besides that, I would give some to a charity, perhaps Ronald McDonald House. They provide a place to stay for parents whose children are undergoing long term care at Children's Hospitals.

For myself, I would buy a farm in Belize to retire to. I might continue working as an outsource for the company I now work for, but I would pick and choose the jobs I worked on. On my farm, I'd raise cocao, and various kinds of tropical fruit as well as vegetables for myself. I'd have chickens to get fresh eggs from each day, and my own source of water with a deep drilled well. I'd have my home powered via wind or solar or both in addition to being on the grid. Essentially, my goal would be to become completely self sufficient, or as close as possible. And I'd have one of those big double wide net hammocks to lounge around in.

 

[palemoon2035]

What if you realized who you thought you were was not really who you were??

I don't think we ever are who we think we are. I am always changing, always growing. Perhaps, at the core I remain constant, but I am a new person everyday. One day I realized I knew nothing, and that opened up the opportunity to learn everything.

I agree. Everyday I am learning something new about myself and others around me and in my life. Because of that I realize that I know nothing about myself or them. The one thing I am scared of is not being "who I have claimed to be" for years *sigh*

Yes they do. They looked after us when Mini Brit was having her heart surgeries.



hugs for the thoughtful, beautiful elf

 

[BeautifulDream]

My friendhad a brain tumor and was staying there before her surgery and they let me and a few other friends come stay with her for her birthday. The staff there even planned a little surprise birthday party for her. We had so much fun! I was ten when we went. Ronald McDonald house is so wonderful!

I'm glad they helped you out Brit

Ronald McDonald and Make a Wish would be two of the main charities I would donate money too if I won the lottery.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I believe in donating to charities that I can see actually help people. Too many of the big organizations end up spending the majority of their donations on lawyers and administrative fees. For example, did you know the Susan G. Komen Breast cancer charity spends much of the money it collects paying lawyers to prevent other breast cancer charities from using the phrase 'For a Cure' which they have trademarked? As a matter of principle, I will donate my money to any breast cancer organization but them now.

What if.....you went to bed one night feeling a little strange, but thinking it was just something you shouldn't have ate. But when you wake up in the morning, you find yourself in a different body of the opposite gender! What is the first thing you'd do? What would you put on when you got dressed? Who is the first person you'd tell or try to convince that you were really you?

As cliche as it sounds, I would probably grope myself...check all the parts and such. Just to, y'know, make sure I wasn't caught in some weird dream. I suppose my wardrobe isn't very female-friendly unless you go for that sporty look, so probably a pair of gym shorts and a tee shirt. No luck for support there, but oh well. Who would I tell? Probably no one. My friends would make it very awkward. I suppose I'd inform my parents so they wouldn't think I was dead or missing...

Who is the first person you'd tell or try to convince that you were really you?

I think I would stand in the full length mirror, naked, and just look at myself. I would stare in shock and try to wrap my head around the idea that I had this thing between my legs. I would dare to say I would probably play with it, but I think I would be in such shock I doubt I could be aroused.

I would wear...well..let's just say I have some clothes that would suit, as long as they would still fit. I think I would tell one certain friend first who I could tell something very unique that would prove it was me. Then, when all is said and done, I would be dying to try out my new pieces and parts. Of course, really, I don't think I would enjoy it.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

The first thing I would have to do is go to the bathroom, like I do every morning. Now, you'd think I'd be eager to try out that whole 'standing up to pee' thing, but no. Only because I always have to do more than pee, I'd sit down. I don't know exactly how I'd manage that, I guess I'd have to tuck it in, 'down there'. Not really sure how guys manage it when they sit down, but whatever.

Of course I'd also be wondering where in the hell my boobs went. Even though they aren't all that much, I think I'd miss their comforting presence.

If it were on a weekend, I tend to wear jeans and a Tshirt or blouse anyhow, so that really wouldn't be so different. Of course, that's assuming that my jeans would fit over my new body, which would probably be larger, but not necessarily. If it was a weekday, I certainly couldn't go to work like that. So again, I could wear jeans and a Tshirt, maybe a button up flannel shirt or something.

I don't know how I could tell anyone, especially with my voice. Oh! Maybe with a new body, I'd have a new voice! In that case, it would be even harder for anyone to believe it was really me.

And of course, I'd have to play with it a little, just to see what it felt like. But it seems like it wouldn't be as much fun, you know? They would feel best when they could be stuck into something warm and wet, and I'd no longer have one handy. Playing with it with just my hand doesn't seem like it would be as good. I might have to see how flexible I could be and try to give myself oral, because I figure that feels pretty good for guys, right? If I couldn't manage that, I'd be looking to find someone to let me fuck them. So I guess in that respect, I'd be a true guy for sure!

 

[palemoon2035]

What if the person you have been talking to online for months, if not years, who you see as a friend, who you have shared a lot of yourself with, who you wrote many stories with or shared many sexual roleplays with... What if you thought he/she was one gender, but in truth that person is actually the "opposite" gender?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

What if the person you have been talking to online for months, if not years, who you see as a friend, who you have shared a lot of yourself with, who you wrote many stories with or shared many sexual roleplays with... What if you thought he/she was one gender, but in truth that person is actually the "opposite" gender?

Somehow I missed this post yesterday.

I don't think I would mind one way or the other, to be honest. With the way you described the online relationship, I don't see how it would matter much. I think a person with sufficient imagination can role play either gender effectively, so if our online relationship basis is simply one of role playing then how would things change? If it was more of a friendship, I believe that the personality you became friends with through text based interactions could just as easily be either gender; your interactions with them have not been with their private parts, but with their personality or spirit. The only real way it would make any difference is if you had plans to hook up with them in real life for sex, and suddenly found that you were not physically compatible.

In fact, something like this has happened to me shortly after I came to Lit. Not hooking up for sex in real life, but finding out someone was not the gender I thought them to be. To protect their privacy I won't mention any usernames or the details of the situation. Let's just say that I realize that gender identity and gender preference are two areas where it is not one thing or the other, but rather a continuum with remarkable people worth knowing all along the scale. I still consider this person my friend and wouldn't hesitate to play a scene or have a story with them if I were taking on new stories right now.

And one more thing. I think it would be scurrilous to accuse someone of misrepresenting their gender or other aspects of their identity if you didn't really know anything about their inner conception of themselves. To spread a rumor that someone was really something else than what they claimed, just to hurt them or damage their online reputation would just be a mean thing to do, especially in this kind of setting where there are all sorts of sexual orientations hoping for acceptance and friends. I'm speaking of a certain troll who recently posted to advertise their sex-cam site, and started out with the claim of 'Unlike most of the women here, I'm real.' To make the assumption that just because other women don't prostitute themselves online through pictures and videos then they must not be real is just wrong. I don't care how big your tits are.

I'd ask them to double check the list to make sure that it really was me that they wanted.

So would I Not only am I childfree but it would suck balls to live in such a world.

If I could chose the location and stay in touch with my family and friends, then yes!
