What did you used to pretend to be as a kid?

I always pretended to be a teacher. I would play school with my friends and always wanted to be the teacher so I could write on the chalkboard. Now, here I am 15 years later..I am a teacher. Except I don't write on a chalkboard, we have smart boards and computers and projectors and all kinds of high tech stuff. And, honestly, I couldn't imagine having to write on a chalkboard! haha

As a kid growing up in the '60s, I followed the space program pretty closely. I had models of all the rockets and capsules, so I guess I admired them. And the first man to walk on the moon was from my home state, so that helped. I guess I pretended to be an athlete as well, something easier to relate to than being an astronaut sitting in a cramped capsule.

when i was a lil kid, i tagged along with my dad to watch kungfu movies. it was still the era of the flying fights with fighters (both men and women) having long braided hair, different kungfu styles like snake, dragon, tiger, etc. and i really like those chinese women who are so skilled, heroines defending the weak, very strong yet very beautiful! i guess that's the reason why i joined wonwoh do in college and continued with taekwondo. on your Q about wishing i were someone else, nope. i'm happy being myself, thank you :)

I used to pretend to be indiana jones--I know its funny. but I did. i loved those movies. i probably was a little strange as a young kid.

I pretended to be a lot of things as a kid. I made up this whole story about a world inside of our moon... and the queen there and her daughters and a blood prince (wolf) who was trying to destroy their world. The daughters came to earth and were inside my body and my friends bodies. There was something with different colored roses and gemstones too. I had all my friends playing it too. Oh yeah, and the queen - Genevieve - communicated through the mirror. When I was with my cousin Val we always pretended to be runaway pioneer children, Southern Belles, or witches (not like the Wizard of us - more like the herb growing women in the midieval times). When I was with my cousin Andrew we were always Ninjas or wrestlers. I also pretended to be Baby from Dirty Dancing and Jem from Jem and the Holograms. I am pretty happy in my own skin but I do from time to time wish I was someone else. No one in particular - just someone else.

I really do not remember. My childhood was terrible. I would like to forget it. I may never behave as a child. But I like your discussion. It is cute.

As a kid i always wanted to be a cricket player, ann odd choice i know, most people wanted to be football (Soccer) players but i wouldn't want to be really famous, im too shy for that. Anyway i wanted to be a cricket player until i realized that i'm actually shi* at cricket. I still wish i could be a cricket player today, seems a much easier lofe than all this university stuff

At primary school I used to pretend to be a robot, which could be controlled by voice, my girlfriends used to give me commands which I did. They even called me metal mickey, it was an old tv show which I used to watch and imitate. I loved being a robot, they would direct me into a wall or would make me bump into things. I would then pretend to lose control then I would run after them and the game would turn into kiss chase.

i've always been a reader, so i guess you could say that i've pretended to be hundreds of people and things in my time. as far as being comfortable in my own skin...well...i have to say that there are times i would change things ABOUT myself, but for the most part i've been pretty comfortable with myself...tho i do wish i was more...uummmm...likable.

I used to want to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle lol, i was a tom boy. Now i definetly feel comfortable in my skin.
