people I have wanted to be
Apr. 14th, 2010 01:08 pmin roughly chronological order.
I ran across a newer on of the "Damn I want to be him' yesterday in my random mediaing, and then while late night music video surfing, I hit three more in a row. So i decided to make a list of the people I have, for any real period of time, wished i could be, or identified with or self insert as, or whatever. just so i could see how it breaks down. This is mostly in an image/presentation way, rather than admiring their like Moral character or intellectual skills. I'm including a lot of my most original fandom, music, because, well, that's where most of my examples are, especially early on. I'm leaving out people who I thought of myself as for a specific purpose, like mike stipe.

I notice a gender imbalance. to say the least. I didn't expect it to be that long, but otoh, I could have gone on and on. i just need to look at the trends in this for myself, and figured i would share.
