I’ve been tagged.

(The following is a C&P from the Songstress) Ogre here has created a new meme (not that I needed another one) and has been tracking its progress throughout the blogosphere as sort of an unassigned research project… Fascinating stuff, really.
How this works: Immediately following there is a list of a bunch of different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with “If I could be...” Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.

Once you’re done you get to tag three people you think will actually respond - and would have a good answer. Oh, and by all means, don’t forget to trackback to this post… and to Ogre’s original post so he can keep tracking the progress of his little creation.

If I could be a scientist…
If I could be a farmer…
If I could be a musician…
If I could be a doctor…
If I could be a painter…
If I could be a gardener…
If I could be a missionary…
If I could be a chef…
If I could be an architect…
If I could be a linguist…
If I could be a psychologist…
If I could be a librarian…
If I could be an athlete…
If I could be a lawyer…
If I could be an innkeeper…
If I could be a professor…
If I could be a writer…
If I could be a llama-rider…
If I could be a bonnie pirate…
If I could be a servicemember…
If I could be a photographer…
If I could be a philanthropist…
If I could be a rap artist…
If I could be a child actor…

OK, I have to choose five.

1. If I could be a musician...I would be a torch singer. You know, singing those old standards like Rosemary Clooney in smokey bars or clubs. And my mother is horrified that I didn’t say gospel singer - I already do that, Mom.

2. If I could be a chef...I would have a Mom & Pop homestyle restaurant, where the locals are all regulars and known by name, but where the food is first class, plentiful, and affordable.

3. If I could be a psychologist...I would tell everyone that comes to see me to snap out of it, get over it, and move on. Dwelling on the past is unproductive - look to the future and take it one day, one step at a time.

4. If I could be a writer...I would write the Great American Novel, of course.

5. If I could be a servicemember...I would choose the US Navy, which goes without saying since my father was a career Naval officer/aviator. I often considered joining the Navy while I was in college, but the boot camp put me off. Me no likey exercise.

Now, to the three whom I choose to pass this little game on to…
