maevelein 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.
Joan Jett. To this very day
Adam Ant. I wanted to be both of them since I was 8-10, for real. I couldn't yet tell a crush from wanting to be someone, and in their cases, I still can't.
Nancy McKeon. Jo from facts of life
Jodie Foster.
David Bowie
Cyndi Lauper
Drew Barrymore
BIllie jean in "Legend of billie jean' not the micheal jackson song.

Sally Bowles, or the Emcee from Cabaret
Trent reznor. SHUT UP

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.
