- If I were an animal I would be a whale, calm and lonely, floating through years of cold and all consuming water. I would be a whale moving slowly, but yet peacefully.
- If I were a car I would be an old model with shiny new paint. Perhaps deceiving to the eye in brightness and appeal but tired and worn down all the same.
- If I were an item of clothing I would be a hat, an interesting decoration but not essential and only needed or desired periodically.
- If I was a day of the week I would be Wednesday, hanging between the days of the week and never fully deciding one way or another.

- If I was a color I would be gray, hard to distinguish from the various other shades but hopeless and unique all the way.
- If I were a movie I would be a psychological thriller, not particularly eventful but deeply complex.
- If I were a fragrance I would smell of pine trees, overpowering yet natural.

- If I were a musical instrument I would be a piano, keys flying under both hands in a constant state of motion and action.
- If I were a geometric shape I would be a triangle, simple and strong, successful in withstanding time and weather.
- If I were a piece of furniture I would be a bookshelf, entrusted with the secrets of all, but unable to personally disclose such information.

- If I were a season I would be fall, stuck in transition and always hung between two extremes.
- If I were a television character I would be the background character, intensely interesting but forever private and waiting behind the scenes.
- If I were a comic or cartoon character I would be Lisa Simpson, frustrated and alone in beliefs and conviction.
- If I were an appliance or machinery I would be a vacuum, removing mistakes and clutter from everyone’s lives without thanks or appreciation.
- If I were a natural phenomenon I would be a hurricane, powerful and graceful but extremely destructive, sweeping through towns and cities in its path.
