whew.....when i first started this thread and no one responded...or responded they were happy being themselves, etc....or the usual 'other stuff' .....i just thought, wtf? no one 'gets' what i am thinking? it's not about not enjoying who you are...it's about the opportunity to experience the world from someone else's mind and eyes. how cool is that? :P


i definitely think people like thompson....picasso.....einstein....etc.....would be the obvious, fascinating choices. but i also think, even the 'average' person...i think of all the shit *I* think about and think up....and i am definitely your 'average person'...so yea....i think many, many people could be VERY interesting, and surprsingly so! :shock: :P

my posts must be a laugh riot for you then, chock FULL of numerous typos, always! :P


of course, i'd actually be interested in if you would truly ever wish to be someone else, just to see what it's like? in a serious way. ya know, the thread topic.

you asked a question and I said 'no'. Really I'd rather leave other peoples minds to themselves... I get confused enough in my own... I'd be in there wondering what the fuck's going on. So it's still no... it's not something i'd ever wish for.

and i've tried thinking 'if I HAVE to name somebody' and there's still nobody whose head i'd wanna be in.

fair enough...who questioned otherwise? :?



saying "I'm pretty comfortable being me" to me, after saying no, kinda seemed like you didn't get it fully what i was asking is all. b/c it wasn't about not being comfortable in yourself, but the thought of having someone else's thoughts to try out rather than your own. my inference, of course. anyhoo.....you don't want the experience, cool! a lot of people had a lot of fascinating ideas, so it's all good sharing! personally, i don't need to think of any one particular person to imagine it would be a pretty trippy, and worthwhile experience. even the most mundane of thoughts, to experience in someone else's mind, to me...would be fascinating. to you, not. gotcha.

i always off the top of my head say picasso or einstein. picasso for the art, and sure..larger than life personality and ego ....and einstein for that sheer brain power, most especially b/c it is SO outside my own real abilities. but you GOT it chica....that's what i was thinking, and still think, on the topic. but even looking small-scale...it'd be a helluva trip evn with the average joe...a whole new mind! :shock:




norm.......that could be VERY trippy!

oh for sure, doesn't have to be someone famous. even an average person, just to really see things through their eyes, colored with their own experiences, to feel passionate about the things they love. it's one thing to try to empathize with someone but to actually experience it would be neat. the brain is a fascinating organ, if i ever had the stomach for medicine, that'd be the field i'd want to delve into. the universe between our ears

I think that's partially what great novels do for the reader.

They allow you to hear the thoughts and feelings of the characters. We get to live inside the minds of the fictional people. They may be like us or nothing at all like us and we enjoy knowing what's inside.

LOL. I was gonna say I'd like to be a man for a day just to see what having a penis is like.

VERY true!
tho i stil think it would be damn cool to be able to do 'live'...! :P


and i was thinking, it's actualy kinda sorta like the flick being john malcovich. similar in a sense anyway.....tho not exactly, as john knew someone was in his head :P...and those IN his head knew it at the time too, so not quite the *total experience* of BEING someone, even for a few hours...

Paris Hilton.

I'd get an IQ test and release the results. Then commit some crime that is likely to result in a sentence inside a maximum security prison- like head round to Lionel Richie's place to smack that guy upside down. Or rape him. Whatever works.

He's making fun of your typo since you wanted to be Einstein, the smartest man on the planet.

I thought it was funny myself. Although sometimes I think I'm one of the few that gets his jokes. :shock:


I'd like to be Bill Gates for a day. That could be fun.

what are you gonna make a cucumber salad or something? thats weird.

as my last response didnt meet the criteria for an all ages forum and so therefore *somebody* with a grudge reported it... probably some Einstein... then lets just imagine i wish to be a hot lady... i would still buy a cucumber... and i wouldnt make salad...


let your imaginiations run wild


p.s. if you are under 16... yes i would make a cucumber salad.

thank you...

it was the irony of wanting to be Einstein and then not being able to type out the words "having the thought process' ... which i thought was ironic... considering the guy 'thought' a lot.

ach it was funny... but she had to spoil it...

i wish I could be someone who is unable to step back and have a little laugh at themselves instead of being uber-uptight about tiny things.
