Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

I don't mean that you're not happy about who you are now, but have you ever wished you were somebody else if only temporarily? For example, watching a sporting event and wish you could be the best player on the winning team, or watch a beautiful performance and wish you could be up there singing? If you could magically be somebody else,just for a moment, just to see what it feels like, who would you pick and why?

Besides being taller, I always wanted to stufy physics and understand more about it...I guess after saying it out loud, there is no reason that I can not study it now...course high heels help too...

High heels hahaha - bad for your feet and your back. I'd give you an inch or two if I could. Good luck with the physics. I'd love to understand that better but math and I are not friends!

Facts about physics are interesting but I suspect you can't really truly understand it unless you're good at math! I almost never wear heels any more but I remember my heel wearing days fondly. lol

I could be friends with math, but it takes too much of my mind to get there...so now I just read books about physics, but never actually sign up for a class... and heels, yeah I a comfy shoe girl, but I dream...

Strangely that thought has never crossed my mind.I like and adore so many people but I like myself better than them.I want to be myself and marvel at those people I admire.

Oh definitely! I've done that a lot of times but like you said that doesn't mean I'm not happy with who I am. I would really love to have at least the voice of Mariah Carey or the face of Charlize Theron because she is absolutely gorgeous. I also would like to be a movie action star like Angelina Jolie. There are really a lot of people I could probably think of! I can't name all of them.

Hm, I'd like to look like Rita Hayworth (when she was about 30) and be talented like Judy Garland. But that's another story...

I do that all the time, I wish I could be someone else. Someone who knows how to talk to people, someone who really just gets it and has it all, yet most people like that really lack in other areas, like brains or personality. So I guess I have something. I hope someone wants to be me!

I'd like to be you Dawn and see where you dream up all these discussion ideas from! I could cross dress too and keep all those people that think that's what I want to do happy!

That's true. You never know what somebody's life is like unless you're inside it!
