Some friends and I were having a conversation the other day about what each of us would be if we could be extremely good at something for an entire year.

Some of our answers were:
Broadway singers,
Porn Star
Supermodel (to get all the designer clothes)
Artist

What would you be?

I would be a an artist, I would love to know how to paint or be able to translate everyday items into something deep and abstract. I love art so I would want to BEEEE an artist. "The world would be my canvas"...

If it is only going to last a year I would want to spend it on something really exciting...

Like flying..

Oh.. in this fantasy question are we supposed to pick only realistic wishes? .. IF that's the case then probably running.

I would be devistated if I picked a skill like art, foreign language, or playing the piano and the skill were taken away from me.

Still, I'd like to fly.

Professional dancer
Like a professional ballroom dancer... I love to dance and have done my fair share, I pick it up quite easily, but have no where to dance anymore (I can't find a hardwood floor and a good two-step rhythm to save my life anymore )
Someday.... I will continue, but yes a ballroom dancer

I'd like to have the intelligence, time, and resources to be able to develop a viable, renewable, and highly accessible source of alternate fuel. Or to develop the ones we already have (fuel-cell technology, for instance).

I'd be an author. I've always admired people who write. I must not have enough of an imigination because I can never think of anything to write! I'd love to write a book, though!

Definitely a musician--either piano or guitar! I wouldn't mind being able to sing either (I couldn't carry a tune if it had handles on it).

- Barbara

A medical researcher, able to find cures for cancer, heart disease, AIDS, etc... Oh, and a CURE FOR OBESITY.....

I would want to be an artist/musician.

Thin!

Oh mee tooo!

Actually I have no idea what else. Maybe sing, that would be fun.

What the HECK!

You must have some crazy friends. I wonder what it takes to be a really great porn star

I was a stripper for 3 years-I was great at that - but I was thin then

Blueyedblond - I'm thinking he was kidding. Or at least I am hoping that he was about wanting to be a porn star.

Willmakeit - You only want to be thin for a year? I want to be thin forever...

a year would be good to begin with!!!

But also I'd like to be a singer/star etc forever!!!

I've always thought about bartending and owning some great nightclub at the same time.
