#7- Which would you choose: immense wealth in obscurity or poverty and fame (think "starving artist")?

General Thoughts

1) The question begs to differ..How obscure is obscure? I mean if I am allowed to have my few awkward friends then I pick that. We alway end up talking about some obscure topic like books and characters in books. Some of them are so odd and out there that if a bystander where to casually drop by they would want to have us committed.

2) Then on the other hand I've always wanted to be famous for something. Every little girl's dream to become known for something awesome. I've lived on little and survived; plus I've got mean persuasive skills.

3) I could take the cop out way and say that I'm not sure; which is true. Maybe I'm thinking about this to much. It is said that money can't buy you love; or that fame won't buy you friends. So I chose a happy medium. Currently I am in the position of poverty and obscurity. (Recent college grad who has decided to go home for the summer).

Since this is my blog and I've broken rules before...I choose a happy medium between the two. I'm also indecisive so it makes things a bit more exciting.

What would you pick and why? Could you decide?

#6-You have to invite 5 people to dinner, dead or alive. Who do you invite and why?

A few things that have happened since my last blog post: I got a new student teaching placement, moved from one dorm to another and walked across a stage and got a diploma cover (graduation...semi). I have been feeling like this again, which stinks; because I am at that point in my life where I am moving into the real world which seems fairly scary and going to be living on my own with housing not supplied my college. I'll have to start paying back the thousands of dollars that I owe this school for my education. So, I'm at crossroad central basically; and like most; I dislike it. 

Since this is my blog I create my own way of doing things including answering challenge posts in whatever way I desire. The people/groups of people I would invite to dinner.


  1. Jesus 
    1. He's awesome; without Him I'd be nothing.
  2. My family
    1. They are awesome. They shaped me to be the person I am today and have been constantly encouraging and always there for me.
  3. My friends
    1. They are the family that you chose. My friends are absolutely amazing; they allow me to be me and all my creepy awkwardness. They are also super supportive. We share a brain and have similar odd tastes.
  4. The cast of Grey's Anatomy (first 5 seasons)
    1. Best TV show. Non-debatable. Great cast. McDreamy!
  5. A few historical figures (Anne Frank, Abe Lincoln, other cool people)
    1. I would like to pick their brains to just ask them what they wanted to be when they grew up and let them know what legacy they left on the world.

#5-Where would you want to live if Earth was uninhabitable?

Where would I want to live if Earth was uninhabitable?
     There are a few interesting places. The perfect post for a list!

  1. Second star to the right and straight on until Morning-NOT Michael Jackson's place, the cooler much awesome place! Peter Pan's joint! Never Never Land! Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, the Lost Boys! I could teach the Lost Boys; so they wouldn't be lost anymore.
  2. Outer Space- Spaceship. How cool would that be? I think I'd like to see the "supposed" not-a-planet anymore; Pluto the forgotten planet. I could totally kick it on a spaceship.I'm not really into SciFi shows or movies so I can't post anythings along that line.
  3. Mars-Martians! Little green people running around screaming things in Martian at you.
  4. Kickin' it with Wall-E and Eva.
Shortest post yet! 

Where would you live?

#4- What would you write in a letter you could send forward in time to yourself in 10 years?

Post #4 from the Challenge List

Dear 33 year old self, (AHH! So old)!
       I hope life is treating you well. At this time 10 years ago you were having many silent freak outs; due to college graduation around the corner. After graduation plans include working at home for the summer and then moving back up to the Cities to get a job. I hope you know how that went because I'm still not sure. Are you still rabidly cool or do people find you more on the I-have-to-get-away-from-this-chick-mode?
    I have a few questions that I want to ask you; not like you are going to be able to successfully answer them now.

  1. Is there anything that is going to be bigger than Facebook?
  2. Will you still incessantly check Facebook?
  3. Do flying cars exist? Are you cool enough to own one?
  4. Where do you live? Is it someplace cool or do you live in a shady neighborhood? 
  5. Who do you live with? Did you become a workaholic?
  6. Are you still paying off student loans?
  7. Mac or PC? Or is there something out there that is better?
  8. Is Ke$ha, Lady Gaga or any other ridiculous artist still alive?  
  9. How many visits to a place with padded walls have you been to? (I'm just preparing for when I go insane.)
  10. How many instruments do you play now? Would you consider yourself a beast at any of them?
  11. How large is your gray patch of hair now? (At 22 I discovered it; the hidden sucker.)
  12. Do you still keep in touch with your college friends and their crazy selves?
  13. Have you left the country again? (Please say yes!)
  14. Are you still a klutz?
  15. Do you still like to eat dill pickles?
  16. Do your friends still refer to you as "the midget"?
  17. Do you still creep people out and are awkward in random situations?
  18. What is your Myers-Briggs? Still; INTJ? Cools.
  19. Do you still make lists?
  20. Do you randomly dance to your music even though no one can hear it? Or dance to the music in the store?
Please write back soon. I am patiently waiting. I have more questions, but I don't feel like overwhelming you. 

Thanks!
You're awesome.
Loves!
    23 yr. old self

#3-Which superpower would you choose to have if you had the option and why? Conversely, which superpower do you find to be the most overrated and why?

Challenge Posting #3-

At one point or another we wish we could do something that isn't possible to do in the current state we are in. Thus comes the wishing for superpowers. I think we should all have some superpower; the world would go up in cool points (not that it isn't cool enough).

Cool Superpowers To Have:

  1. Flight- Duh! No more paying for expensive airplane tickets anymore, or gas prices, car insurance, etc. Down side: Bugs, weather.
  2. Invisibility-This would just be awesome. 
  3. Teleportation- Instant travel. Hmm..Let's see; today I want to go to Siberia. BOOM! You're there. Freezing cold? Go somewhere else. How could this not be great?
  4. Telekinesis- Geesh this tree is obstructing my view of the neighbors house. Well; guess I'll just move it.
  5. Telepathic-Mind Reading. Especially on animals. So dog, that's what you meant when you looked at me that way...huh. RUN! Potential to be bad
  6. Shape Shift- Similar to the Animorph series that was somehow popular. You're calling me a square, well look here because I happen to be an actual square.
  7. Magical Powers- Harry Potter. Enough said.
  8. Stealing other powers temporarily- Excuse me, sir. I need to get to New York on a business trip. Can I borrow some of your teleporting skillz? 
  9. Duplication- Hello, multi-tasking!
  10. Manipulating Weather- Rain, Rain. Go Away!
  11. Strength- Let me just put this semi over here.
  12. Time Warp/Travel- The ability to mess with time. Come on! Boring meetings are no more!

Sucky Superpowers:
  1. Everything you touch turns to something else that is utterly useless aka pencil sharpeners- King Midas..one greedy little sucker
  2. Stretchy skin..Doesn't that just sound appealing?
  3. The ability to bounce because your skin is made of rubber
  4. Forgetfulness....what was I just doing?
  5. The ability to know when the circus is in town before it gets there.
  6. Grow your feet or hands.

What do you think would be a sucky superpower? Leave a comment!
