If you could be anyone/anything, who/what would you be in your alter-ego life?

[Stacia]

I would be a mountaineer. And, it would be fun & easy for me to be in these photos...

I would love to do serious mountain climbing, be an expert skier, etc....

 

What about you?

[GailV]

A Jedi crew member of the Enterprise.

 

Oh, wait, is it supposed to something relatively plausible? Because in that case I'd want to be a physical therapist or something else to do with bodywork. Maybe a PT masseuse who teaches yoga.

[myfunnybunch]

A Jedi crew member of the Enterprise.

 

Oh, wait, is it supposed to something relatively plausible?

 

Goodness, where's the fun in that?

 

In my alter-ego life, I am independently wealthy.

 

AND still a kind human being, so I travel the globe helping people instead of buying....I dunno, what do super-rich people buy that's completely and totally unnecessary besides outfits for their dogs?

 

Cat

 

[Katy]

A geneticist.  Or a wilderness instructor for NOLS or Outward Bound.

[Miss Peregrine]

Backup singer/ dancer.

[Susan in TN]

I would travel the world procuring interesting books for my used book shop.

[Stacia]

Answers can be realistic or completely fantastic (so being a Jedi member of the Enterprise is entirely acceptable)! :laugh:

 

I would have many alter ego lives, actually....

 

World traveler would be another one for me.

[MiMi 4under3]

Brainy college professor who tells witty jokes at dinner parties with other intellectuals.

 

Yes, I'm boring...

[Ewe Mama]

At this moment, I would love to be a plumber.

 

 

Don't ask.

[gingersmom]

A member of England's royal family

[Amira]

One of those people who can speak a bazillion languages without much effort.

 

Someone who can eat all the food with no ill effects.

 

Someone who likes very long plane flights with children.

[ScoutTN]

So many ideas...

 

Classics or history professor?

Farmer? Maybe a Hobbit.

Dragonrider on Pern?

Owner of used book shop and coffee shop that has a fabulous inventory in an old mansion with no need to actually make money. I would have the best children's section ever. Big comfy chairs.

I'd love to travel, speak lots of languages, be able to carry a tune, be a good athlete or to make something beautiful.

We began the audiobook of The Dawn Treader today.mI would like to be with them on the ship!

[elegantlion]

A moody renaissance woman who paints, writes, travels, takes stunning photographs, and sings lead in a not-so-serious band. I would live with a man with a stunning accent who would read me bedtime stories, and we would give away copious amounts of money anonymously. 

[Onceuponatime]

One of those people who can speak a bazillion languages without much effort.

.

This. I would be a linguist. Besides modern languages, I would be an expert in dead languages and pore over ancient manuscripts. I wouldn't mind being a hobbit either, or Miss Marple, or a librarian in one of those beautiful European libraries, or one of those village wise women who knows all the cures and potions for every ailment.

[Closeacademy]

Well off enough that I could have done the homeschool thing without having to work part-time.  So that we would have been able to afford to do activities and hire tutors as needed without worrying about cost.  I'd want to be a full-time mom who spent her time taking care of her family instead of worrying about making ends meet.

[mommymilkies]

At this moment, I would love to be a plumber.

 

 

Don't ask.

I think I feel your pain at the moment.  :glare:   

 

Let's see, I think I'd be a rich Scottish lady with a castle near the sea.  I would have lots of sheep, lots of healthy kids, no medical problems, no money problems, and I would help out as a doctor in town when needed.  I would study languages and history in my huge library and travel the world regularly.  I would also sometimes help out on archaeological digs and save cats. Does this count?  

[Guest]

I would have a gorgeous singing voice, be able to play the cello, eat anything I wanted, not necessarily at the same time, and I would have the hair I used to have.  :0)

 

Pathetic.

 

If I were paying attention, I would say "a saint."  But I'm not there yet, even enough to really want it as my first answer.  Sigh.

 

 

[aggieamy]

I would be a Duchess in Regency England but I'd want it to AU so there would be modern medicine.  

[Guest]

A cat.

 

Like you, I'm onto the fallacy that "It's a dog's life."  

 

It's a cat's life.  Really.

 

You can start by doing what I do:  curl up on the floor where the sun comes in and take a nap.  :0)

[KrissiK]

A spy. Like Sydney Bristow in "Alias". And I'd have to look like her, too. And kick-box like her. Actually, I just want to be her.

[Audrey]

I would want to be the fashionista-poet-Picasso sitting at cafés in Paris drinking nothing but Château de Gaudou Malbec, reading obscure tomes and paying for my meals and accommodations with serviettes scribbled with ethereal flashes of my poetic genius.

[Vida Winter]

Independently wealthy time-traveler. :lol:

[LibraryLover]

George Clooney.

[Mabeline]

I would love to be a surgeon, if it didn't take 10 billion years of school and left no time for family. I've always been fascinated but anatomy. I used to love watching surgeries on TLC.

 

Or I would love to be a beach bum. I love laying in the sand just watching the waves go in and out. I could just live on the shoreline.

[kewb]

I would love to own a little independent book store. I would spend my days discussing books with my regulars and helping new customers find the right book.

Of course , I would be independently wealthy.

[Dory]

Independently wealthy and preferably someone who lived further south.

[Garga]

Fabulously rich and ridiculously gorgeous.

 

And then I could buy all the expensive camera equipment I want and become a photographer for the fun of it and not worry about making my business a success. I would travel the world taking pictures and wear outlandish and wonderfully fashionable clothing.

[Joker]

The brilliant mind who could find a cure for our worst diseases - cancer, HIV, mental health disorders, etc.

[Slache]

A runner, a guitarist, and a singer. None professionally though. I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom. I wouldn't mind being a stay at home mom with more money though.

[GailV]

A cat.

Everybody wants to be a cat

Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at.

 

So sad we can no longer post gifs, but you can pretend a picture of Scat Cat is here.

[MBM]

A professional surfer. My base would be in Hawaii but I'd travel the world, too.

[rutamattatt]

A playwright.  Whose acting chops are the only ones that can master the beauty of the parts I write.  :)  And I would, of course, need to travel the world to find my inspiration.

 

Or a Broadway performer.
