I stole this from Yellowdog Granny, but I’ve been sitting on it for about a week so I could think about it. It’s always interesting to look at yourself in different ways and define yourself with new words.
If I were…
…a month, I would be February. Yeah, the cold can be terrible, but if you can get past that, the brisk wind will bring color to your cheeks, playing in the snow will bring laughter to your lips, and the glory of the sunset will bring joy to your heart.
…a day of the week, I would be Friday….the day you are finally sure you’re going to make it through the week to the weekend.
…a time of day, I would be that warm comfortable time when you are just falling asleep and you know everything will be alright…unless I hate you, then I’m the nightmare that keeps you up *laughs*.
…a sea animal, I would be one that is ugly as hell to look at, but is dreadfully useful in all kinds of ways.
…a direction, I would be circular….always moving forward, but not forgetting to look back.
…if I was a sin, I would be pride…because pride is necessary to drone out that voice in the back of our minds telling us that we aren’t good enough.
…a historical figure, I would be Helen Keller….or maybe her teacher, Annie Sullivan…both women who overcame huge obstacles in their lives and used the lessons learned to reach out to others.
…a planet, I would be Mars…big …fat…and red…. (*laughs* This was yellowdog granny’s response, and sadly enough, it fits me quite well)
…if I were a liquid, I would be an ice cold coke on a blisteringly hot Texas day….refreshing once you get past the bite and the cold headache *laughs*
…a stone, I would be sandstone…I look hard, but crubles easily if you hit it just right.
…if I was a tree, I’d be the one you’d cut down to build your barn.
….if I was a bird, *laughs* I’d be one of those annoying blue jays, always squaking about things.
…a flower/plant…hmmmm…that’s a hard one…I’m not exactly decorative, nor am I necessarily sweet smelling….I’d say I’m a blossom that becomes a nice juicy fruit to pick you up when you’re hot and tired.
kind of weather…I would be a Texas summer thunderstorm with lots of wind and lightning.
…mythical creature, I’d be a zombie….I certainly feel like the walking dead often enough *laughs*.
….musical instrument, I’d be a banjo…decidedly country and hard to play, but with practice, I’ll make beautiful music for you.
…if I was an animal, I would be a cat…kind of stand offish and demanding…but loves to be petted when I get to know you.
…if I was a color, I’d be a calm blue sky, but with streaks of red when a storm’s brewing.
…if I was an emotion, I’d be the feeling you get when you realize someone really understands you.
…..if I was an element, I would definitely be earth. If I was a Hogwart’s school, I’d be Hufflepuff…I’m the one who gets things done, moves things forward…I’m not brilliant or beautiful or energetic…but I’m always there when you need something.
…a song, I would be “That’s My Job” by Conway Twitty. I’m not the kind of person who does big things. I’m the kind of person who is in the background helping others do big things.
…a movie, I’d be a simple character film…no action, just wonderful characters interacting.
…a book, I’d be a Louisa May Alcott novel…simple but enduring.
…a food, well, I’d be a casserole, something comforting but with a bit of spice.
…a place, I’d be a dusty country road. The kind of place you drive down on your way home.
…taste, I’d be white rice…because I go well with almost anything.
…a scent, I’d be KL (it’s the only perfume I wear).
…a religion, I’d have to be the do it yourself kind. No doctrines, just a personal path.
…a word…*laughs* probably dammit…my favorite curse word, I use it alot.
…if I were a body part, I’d be a foot, kicking someone in the ass.
…a facial expression, I’d be an intent scowl maintained to keep from laughing.
…subject in school, I’d be biology….I love all things biological…I should have been a doctor.
…cartoon character, I’d be Thelma…you know…the nerdy girl on Scooby Doo.
….shape? *laughs* round….very, very round.
…a number, I’d be 2…I do really well at one on one relationships, but I suck at groups.
…a peice of jewelry, I’d be a funky brooch you’re grandmother gave you. It doesn’t fit in everywhere, but still, it’s nice to have.
…a piece of furniture, I’d be a big, overstuffed rocker that you retreat to when the world is mean to you.
…and last but not least, if I was a piece of clothing, I’d be your ratty old comfy sweater that you wear around the house. It’s old and worn out, but you couldn’t possibly part with it.

I was an army brat. Most of the time after I was born, we were in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, although we spent a couple of years in Germany.
The older base housing was WPA built row houses, which were actually quite nice and roomy. Big living/dining area, decent sized kitchen, 3 bedrooms upstairs, and a huge basement, not to mention nice hardwood floors. The newer single family housing they built later, while they had nice yards, were actually smaller, at least in the enlisted housing. I was never inside the officers housing, although one could tell from the outside that they were bigger.
And….yeah…I miss it too. My brother and sister hated army life, but I really loved it…so did my mom.
