Friday Five

If you...

1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Italian/lots of pasta, probably. That, or a French Fry stand. Those are the only two genres of food that I never seem to be out of the mood for.

2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Oh my gosh, I have so many different ideas here. I'd love to own any of the following: a running store (shoes, clothes, etc), a coffee shop, a book store, a restaurant, a shoe store for women with big feet, IKEA, an art supply store, a small design firm... the list goes on. I think it would be incredibly rewarding to be a successful small-business owner, and one day if I get up the guts, hopefully I will be.

3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be?
A collection of short non-fiction stories or essays. I write better in blog/email-friendly blurbs than I do in long passages.

4. ...ran a school, what would you teach?
Art/design. Realistically I'm probably not qualified, but that's what I'd love to teach. I did crafts one summer for the church bible camp, and it was tons of fun.

5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
A totally eclectic mix of everything from rock to pop to jazz to classical/instrumental. I'm not much of a songwriter, really; I'd get more enjoyment and less stress out of compiling an album of my favorite 12 or 15 songs of all time (which, for the record, would still be a really strange mix of stuff).
