Tagged by "The BvO"

Well it looks like I have been tagged by Brian vanOosten to answer 5 "If I Could Be" questions. OOh fun games. First though, I must say I just met BvO and he is nice - his girlfriend is my roommate for the summer and her name is Jenn van Breda. So, because there are two Jenn's he has nicknamed me "Klassen". Very original, I must say. He fixed my bed for me after knowing me for only 5 minutes. That, to me, signals the beginning of a happy summer!

Here are the rules: I pick 5 occupations out of the list below and post my answers. Then I tag 3 other people to post their answers on their blog.

The list: 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 inn-keeper...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 an astronaut...If I could be a world famous blogger...If I could be a justice on any one court in the world...If I could be married to any current famous political figure...

Here are my answers:

If I could be a bonnie pirate I would be VERY attractive and VERY grumpy all the time and I would, for purely the sake of my own sick enjoyment, make whomever I was most annoyed or frustrated with at the moment walk the plank whenever I needed a pick me up.

If I could be an inn-keeper I would make sure there was ALWAYS room in the inn!

If I could be an athlete I would be the farthest removed from who I am at this very moment that I could possibly be and I would love sports and I would win and I would have realistic dreams of winning an Olympic gold medal for both diving and figure skating! (I would need a possibilty for both the Summer and Winter Olympics so that I had a chance every 2 years and not just every 4!)

If I could be a missionary my life would be an incredible adventure of joy and pain. I would go to a place in Africa that has been ravaged by AIDS and run an orphanage for street children - being both their mother and friend in the name of Jesus Christ.

If I could be a linguist I would keep on learning more and more languages because they say that the more languages you learn, the easier it is to learn new ones! Then I would translate the Bible into languages it has never been translated into before. And I would talk to interesting people in interesting languages all day every - travelling to random places and having random conversations.

Mkay, well those are my answers and the taggees are Adam Harris, Joel Haas and Josiah Bokma.
