If you could be anybody else, who would you be? They can be living or dead.

Please don't rush right in with a response; give this some thought. I've thought about it a lot and, if I could be anybody else in the world, I would be...John Travolta! Go ahead and laugh, but he's lived the most amazing life of anyone I can think of. He's married to a very beautiful woman, he flies jets to and from his home in florida (a vacation for him does not involve long lines at the airport. He simply packs the family up, walks from his home to his private jet...a HUGE jet at that, and flies anywhere in the world he wishes to go). He has achieved fame and fortune, establised immortality on film, made out with Olivia Newton John, and...well, what else needs to be said? He's the man! Now, your turn: be honest.

Mother Angelica - nun who has many witty explanations of our relationship with God.  Comfortable in front of the television and met Mother Theresa
I think I would love to be Mother Angelica. She is sprite, witty, in touch with God, has a steady wardrobe and her own tv show ( that is not exactly what I wish for though), has learning and has traveled quite abit. Lived a long life, met Mother Theresa. Seems like that would be appealing to me.

thinking - the choices we make and the results, alterable, probably not, some think that we chose the life we currently live before we are born
Sure thing! Was nice to be able to think about how life could be different if we had an active hand in being who we are!

Steve Irwin - my hero for wildlife, big and small.
Even though I'm not a man, I would like to be Steve Irwin. I have always been very passionate about animals, and I just loved to watch Steve get so excited and be so enthusiastic over finding everything from crocs to the smallest spider or frog. He truly loved life and lived it to the fullest doing something he was extremely passionate about, conservation of wildlife. I would absolutely love to be have the opportunity to live the kind of life he lived, living with all kinds of animals, traveling the world to find every single bit of life that he could. I would have loved being Steve.

Im not sure if I would want to be anyone else, but I would like to be more like my grandmother, she is the sweetest woman with the patience of Job, She raised me the majority of my life, after she had raised her own 4 children, and with no remorse, She taught me some of the most valuable things in life, and has lived a great life full of reward, money is not important to her, it is and has always been about family for her, She was always a good wife and mother, she has always been a home maker and when my grandfather worked she got up at 5 am every morning to make his lunch and cook her family a good homemade breakfast (biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, ect.) My mom always told me there was not a single morning that she can remember growing up not having a table full of food to eat before she went to school. And my grandmother was always an awesome cook, now She will be 80 in March and other than slight alzhiemers she is in excellent health, her cooking has slipped a little because of her memory loss, but she is still the sweetest person I know. I wish that I could be more like her, her children were all raised in Church since birth, and I deeply regret that I have not had my kids in Church we have just recently started to attend regularly. I also wish I could cook like her, and be able to get up everymorning and make a good breakfast for my family, but for me it is a struggle to get up everymorning at 8 much less 5 or 6.

I'd like to be Anne of Austria but only for a single day. I'd like very much to understand, what made her to reject one of the greatest politicians of all times (Richelieu) and to fall in love with an vain, trifling looser like Buckingham. Was Buckingham's good looks the reason? As for myself, I prefer brains, any time...

Oh,well, i still want it to be myself. Only one wish i'd want to be granted and this is money.I am a simple woman with a simple life,I want money because I want to help the needy.Trully if I see beggars on the street,and the invalid and sick persons, I am crying inside,my heart breaks, and I thought to myself if only I am rich I could give at least a help.

Oh gee that's a tough one. I don't think I'd really want to be anyone else. But for fun lets say I'd like to sing like Whitney Houston, dance like Paula Abdul, look like Charlize Theron, be as smart as Condi Rice, talented and rich as Oprah.

I am actually very happy with myself. I love my fmaily, friends, kids. There are people I would like to meet, but not be. I also believe that no matter who you would choose everyone has their problems. I could almost guarentee their life is not as perfect as it may seem.

I think it is funny that people say they don't want to be anyone but themselves. This is just for fun people, come on join in. It won't hurt you to have some fun and use some imagination. I think I would want to be angelina jolie. First off, she is beautiful! Even after having a child, she has managed to stay in good shape. Second off, she is with Brad Pitt. That would definately not be a problem for me. Third, she is so kind and giving. Look at all the help she is giving to the children, etc. that are less fortunate then her. I would love to have that kind of money to not only help my family, but to help others who need it as well. Fourth, I think any person who adopts children deserves a pat on the back. That is such a wonderful blessing for those children! Plus, she is wonderful at her job! I've always wanted to get into the film industry. But, I couldn't afford the agent and all that when I was trying. Fun topic!
