Oh yes. I onced wished I was playing Romeo in Baz Luhrmann's film because I had a huge crush on Claire Danes playing Juliet 8)



Also, in primary school I often wished to be a guy in the year above me called Lee because he was the most popular guy in school. Now he's just an agressive chav with very few teeth who drinks all the time and is proud about beating people up. I doubt he has any life prospects.

How times change.... yay for times changing!!! ;D

This is an interesting question. I would *love* to have the ability to be someone else for a few moments or minutes. I mean this in the sense of a complete understanding of the other person, see with their eys, listen with their ears and thinking their thoughts. I think that this is even learnable in a certain sense. We are not limited. And there would be more understanding for each other among humans if we would develop this ability. But I don't have ever the wish to really BE someone else, whoever it may be, in the sense of changing personalities. I am sure I would regret it already after a day or so lol ;D

The question is really interesting.

If I would be someone else - who would be me then  ???

And would I ever be able to understand this strange person that I was before?  ;D
If it doesn't work - try something different!
