If I was a toy, I would be a stuffed animal because I could put a smile on a child’s face. If I was a natural phenomenon, I would be an aurora because I would be beautiful in the eyes of many. If I was an emotion, I would be happiness because that is what I wish to give to everyone. If I was a movement, I would be a step because all it takes is one step to make a difference. If I was a sensation, I would be a warm embrace because I like to comfort others. If I was an article of clothing, I would be a party dress because I like to go out and have fun. If I was a color, I would be red because I love to love. If I was a food, I would be kettle corn because I’m something you wouldn’t expect just by looking at me. If I was a tree, I would be a redwood because then finally, for once, I could be tall. If I was an animal, I would be a chameleon because at this point in my life, I’m still changing and trying to figure out who I am.

ok so I'm going to start backwards because I already know my answer for 10.
ReplyDelete10) A sea turtle, this comes from an interesting story, i was asked what animal i would be, and replied "something that could fly, no something in the water, no a sea turtle." My friend was so confused by this logic, but it made total sense in my head, I had seen sea turtles while snorkeling in Hawaii, and the way they moves looks like slow motion flying, but underwater.
9) A cherry tree, well a cherry blossom actually, this one oddly enough has a dance inspiration. My ballet teacher used to describe grande battements as "up like a lightning bolt, down like a cherry blossom." I feel like the ability to be slightly moved by gravity, but blown about by the slightest bit of wind would be fantastic.
8) I would be a banana, because it is similar to my last name and one of my good friends often calls me banana.
7) I would be pine green. It is a crayola crayon color which is green, but with a blue tint to it. It allows the fun of green, rolling hills and trees, along with more emotional blue tone.
6) I would be a sock. I am very lazy when it comes to doing laundry, meaning, I don't sort my socks into pairs when folding cloths, but I think this makes it more interesting because it becomes a game of chance what colors or patterns my socks may be that day.
5) This is oddly detailed, but that moment when you are having something massaged and it goes from being tight and sore to all of a sudden release. It would be a constant feeling of the world being lifted off your shoulders.
4) I would be the pointing of a foot. You need the movement of the foot to jump, turn, complete a line, the versatility is amazing.
3) If I were an emotion I would be confused. confusion inspires investigation and curiosity.
2) I would be a tsunami. Waves rolling across sanding beaches with so much power.
1) I would be a yoyo, it seems like it would be fun to bounce up and down all day, but it also has the comfort of a hand to hold you up and a string to support you all along the way.

If I were a toy I would be a teddy bear because I am really sweet and cuddly ;) If I were a natural phenomenon I would be a a lightning bolt because I am very loud and have an electric personality. If I were an emotion I would be joy because I am usually a really happy person. If I were a movement I would skip because I am very dainty and happy and light on my feet. If I were an sensation I would be warmth because I am a warm and fuzzy person. If I were an article of clothing I would be sweatpants because I love being comfy. If I were a food I would be a cake because I am sweet and everyone loves me! If I were a plant I would be a flower because I love spring and flowers bloom in Spring and if I were an animal I would be a puppy because I think they are the cutest thing in the world!
ReplyDeleteThe last post was from Nicole sorry!
ReplyDelete1) If I was toy, I would be a rocking horse because I had one when I was little and I loved it... plus I have a real horse now.
ReplyDelete2) If I was natural phenomenon, I would be rain because it is refreshing; It is a wonderful experience to walk and even dance in the rain.
3) If I was an emotion, I would be Passion. Passion for life and love!
4) If I was a movement, I would be a fall because it gives you a reason to get back up again.
5) If I was a sensation, I would be a shiver; somehow it is a release of tension in my body.
6) If I was an article of clothing, I would be a 50’s style dress with a small waist and a tea length flowing skirt.
7) If I was a color, I would be a deep purple because it is elegant.
8) If I was a food, I would be pasta because it is wiggly and really fun to eat.
9) If I was a plant or tree, I would be a daisy because they are bright and cheerful!
If I was an animal, I would be a dolphin. I love the water and dolphins are extraordinary creatures.

ReplyDeleteIf I were a toy, I would be a stuffed animal because they get to cuddle with a sleeping child every night ☺ (or if you’re me and still sleep with a stuffed animal near, then you get to cuddle with a 19 year old every night haha).
If I were a natural phenomenon, I would be snow. I love snow, it muffles sound, makes every thing still and peaceful, and changes the color of the world to pure white!
If I were an emotion, I would be love or fulfillment (which are kind of the same for me), because in my opinion that is what life is for.
If I were a movement, I would be “twirl” because it evokes ease and play and fun.
If I were a sensation I would be Goosebumps. You can get them when you are inspired, in love, sad, scared… any time you are extremely moved and I love those moments in life. (Well aside from scared, I hate being scared and I’m easily spooked!)
If I were an article of clothing, I would be sweat pants. I LOVE sweat pants, especially ones that are WAY too big for me, they are ridiculously comforting and cozy.
If I were a color, I would be sage green because it is peaceful and calming and beautiful.
If I were a food, I would be an apple, because it’s my FAVORITE food on the planet!
If I were a plant or a tree, I would be a weeping willow (because they are haunting and serene all at the same time), or a Gerber daisy (because they are bright, fun, and fully open).
If I were an animal, I would be a pelican. I could survive at the ocean, or a river, or a lake and would be able to fly with my HUGE wingspan. I have always wanted to fly and I LOVE rivers, lakes, and the ocean, best of both worlds! But I would be the world’s only vegetarian pelican, I’m not changing my diet just to become a bird ☺.
1)
ReplyDeleteIf I were a toy, I would be a hoola hoop because I would always be in motion, spinning and flipping, and I would be using someone’s body to help me.
2) If I were a natural phenomenon, I would be the aurora borealis, or northern lights, because of the beautiful colors produced, and because of the different forms and patterns they can take in the sky.
3) If I were an emotion, I would be content, because in this state, everything seems ok, with no worries.
4) If I were a movement, I would be an aerial, because of the star-like shape it makes, and because of the feeling of balanced rotation around a single point.
5) If I were a sensation, I would be the sensation you get when you slowly bring your hand through water, because it feels so refreshing.
6) If I were an article of clothing, I would be a worn-out, soft-as-can-be cotton sweatshirt, because it would feel soft against my skin and keep me warm.
7) If I were a color, I would be dark green, because it is the color of nature, most trees and plants, and without those we would not have life.
8) If I were a food, I would be an artichoke, because it is green and it has many layers to enjoy before reaching the heart which is my favorite!
9) If I were a plant or tree I would be a Madrona tree, because the bark is colorful and full of patterns, and the leaves are leathery looking.
10) If I were an animal, I would be a tree frog so I could leap through trees and hide camouflaged behind leaves.
1) If I were a toy I would be a stuffed animal- probably a horse, because it reminds me of my childhood and all the times my sister and I spent dreaming up ways to convince our parents to let us take riding lessons.
ReplyDelete2) If I were a natural phenomenon I would be one of those starry nights where you could watch the clouds race across the sky in front of a full moon.
3) If I were an emotion, I would be curiosity, because I am constantly pondering things, especially in the situations where I don’t especially want to be contemplating the questions of life, namely right when I want to fall asleep at night or during a review for an exam.
4) If I were a movement, I would be an eye blink because I always wonder what part of life I miss seeing when I blink, even if it is only a split second. For example, if one could add all their eye blinks together, how much time would one spend with their eyes closed?
5) If I were a sensation I would be the feeling one has when they are standing on the top of a mountain after a long hike and they have the satisfaction of seeing not only how far they climbed, but the panoramic view surrounding them. I don’t think I embody this sensation so much as it is one of my favorite sensations.
6) If I were an article of clothing I would be a cloak because I like the way they sway and flow when you walk, and you could treat it like your own secret get-away because they have such big hoods- kind of like your own version of the wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia. ;-)
7) If I were a color, I would be either midnight blue or olive green because to me they seem to be two of the most natural colors. When I paint or draw, all my pictures have to have blue and green in them.
8) If I were a food I would be a cereal like Honey Bunches of Oates or Oatmeal Squares because I’m a terrible cook and eat cereal ALL the time.
9) If I were a plant or a tree I would want to be a silver birch because they have these amazing delicate leaves and graceful limbs, but their bark peels off in long strips leaving behind new wood that turns papery and white after a while.
10) If I were an animal I would be a unicorn because they are majestic, gentle, fictional (or are they? ;-) ) and they have many amazing powers.

1) I’d be a Transformer Rabbit: a destroyer robot with laser vision who by transforming like a transformer (with the transformers soundtrack playing in the background) transforms into a fluffy cute white bunny with big black shiny round eyes. In order to be both strong and lovable.
ReplyDelete2) Aurora Borealis. Because it is mysterious, looks pretty against the dark sky, can only be observed in the Polar Regions and can be different colors.
3) Calm. Because while feeling calm one can be reasonable.
4) A movement of a cat jumping from roof to roof. Graceful and powerful.
5) The smell of a winter morning. Because it smells of freshness and stillness.
6) A comfortable pair of shoes. Because a comfortable pair of shoes would accomplish much good to the owner.
7) Gray. Because most people won’t pick gray. Poor gray! It's a humble color and doesn't stick itself out there like the other colors.
8) Linguini with mushrooms and artichoke hearts and feta cheese and grilled salmon with some bread dipped in seasoned olive oil and and and…. It's complex. And it makes me drool.
9) A baobab. Because it’s exotic, and according to Wikipedia “does not produce annual growth rings” like other trees!
10) An albino crow. Because it’s smart and ….not a conventional crow.

If I were a toy I would be a teddy bear because everyone would want to cuddle with me and I would always be loved!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a natural phenomenon I would be a gentle snow storm, because it is so beautiful that it would cause everyone to come out and play.
If I were an emotion I would be passion because there is nothing more exciting and invigorating.
If I were a movement I would be battement because it is sexy and powerful.
If I were a sensation I would be a firm grip because I would always feel safe and secure.
If I were an article of clothing I would be a flowing colorful dress because it is bright and exciting and the slightest breeze picks it up and gracefully carries it away.
If I were I color I would be purple because it is rich, regal and magnificent.
If I were a food I would be something spicy because there’s always a kick!
If I were a plant or a tree I would be a redwood tree because I would stand tall, mighty. Also I would always smell fresh!
If I were an animal I would be a panther because I would be vicious, feisty, beautiful and sleek.
-Jessica
Thanks for the extension!
ReplyDelete1) If I were a toy, I would be a top - When I'm excited/upset, I tend to get a little dizzy/frantic, and when this happens, I am very easily derailed.
2) Were I a natural phenomenon, I would be an earthquake - my greatest turmoils comes from parts of my internal identity/beliefs/ideas coming into contact/conflict with one another, like tectonic plates.
3) An emotion I hope I could embody would be wonder, both because of the sense of awe with which I experience the world and with the eternal curiosity that pushes me to explore it.
4) I would be a swing if I were a movement. I often feel like I get started on something and get swept up in the momentum. I love the feeling and idea of flying along a trajectory - my destination is chosen, but my journey is affected by outside forces.
5) If I were a sensation, I would be a neck or back crack. I can be terribly abrupt, but ultimately seek to soothe.
6) If I were an article of clothing, I would be a scarf. I would wrap around and around the places that connect our 'head-space' with our 'body-space'
7) If I were a color, I would hope to be a purple of sorts, a blend of warm and cool colors. I love most naturally occurring instances of purple, too - darkish skies, flowers, tropical fish...
8) If I were a food, I would be peanut butter. Plain, but versatile and just the right mix of "good for you" stuff and "bad for you" stuff. I hope I would not be on recall right now...
9) If I were a plant I would be ivy. I would be steadfast and far-reaching, stubborn. Some view me as a pest and some bring me into their homes willingly.
10) If I were an animal, I would be a mockingbird. i've always had an affinity for flying things, but I like their tendency to learn from those around them and make a skill out of emulating others.
Cheers,
Kristi
1) If I were a toy, I would be a blankie. Or at least that toy that babies adore before they even know anything about adoration. I would be that thing that gives them comfort simply by being their toy and being within reach.
ReplyDelete2) If I were a natural phenomenon, I’d be the Northern Lights (aurora). I’ve always been fascinated by space and astronomy, although I’ve never formally studied anything about it. I just think the aurorae are gorgeous and would love to float in the sky as a naturally created neon color. =]
3) If I were an emotion, I’d be passion. Hands down. I’m convinced you can’t truly accomplish what you want to unless there’s passion behind it. I believe it’s the emotional catalyst to fulfilling your life experience.
4) If I were a movement, I’d be a stretch. If that counts. Stretching helps your muscles increase your range of motion and doing so helps prevent injury, and that’s a good thing. So I’d be that.
5) If I were a sensation, I’d be pressure. Feeling a sense of pressure has the ability to bring out the best and/or worst in people. Pressure on your back can provide relief during a massage. Pressure on lips during a kiss says a lot about how that person is feeling and how they feel about you. I’ve broadened the definition a bit, but the sensation of pressure encompasses so much in my opinion.
6) If I were an article of clothing, I would be board shorts. Surfing’s something I’ve always wanted to do, never have, but will definitely attempt someday. I like that board shorts are typically worn in more tropical climates. Or at least on nice, sunny days.
7) If I were a color, I would be red. I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid. Any bright shade of red will do. RED strikes me as an intense color and if I were a color, I’d rather be one of the intense ones.
8) If I were a food, I would be ice cream. I’m pretty sure my body has actually adapted to my love for it and that I’ve developed a second stomach reserved solely for ice cream consumption. Seriously.
9) If I were a plant, I would want to be a type of lily. I like flowers and I think lilies are particularly beautiful. If I were a tree, I’d be a redwood. Their sheer size is so majestic.
10) If I were an animal, I’d be a bird. A Peregrine falcon. I would love to be able to fly. Being the fastest animal on the planet wouldn’t be such a bad title, either =]

9) If I was a plant I would be algae (macrosistist, giant kelp) because it’s essential part of the ecosystem providing protection, food and oxygen.
10) If I was an animal I would be an otter with condor wings because I could play in the kelp forests, eat shellfish and crab all day then fly away when there’s an orca threat.
Well this is rather late in the game... But maybe it'll inspire you for anything you're working on now :)
ReplyDeleteI would be a rainbow. They make everyone happy. They're universal. Everyone's always trying to find the gold at the end of the rainbow. Rainbows fleeting, they'll disappear, and everyone wants to keep them around, but they mysteriously come back on their own terms. They always leave you wanting more, except they're so refreshing at the time.
~Rashelllllllllllllllllllle the Raindbow
I want to be more like a rainbow.
P.S. I love that picture.
