Tonight, after watching Glee, I sat down to write a post completely unrelated to this topic and “The Professional” came on one of the movie channels. It got me thinking about all of the people I want to be. Now, these aren’t people I aspire to be like – just someone I’d like to be for a day.
- Leon
- Jason Statham
- Justin Timberlake
- Spike
- Buffy
- A Ninja!
- Corbin Dallas
- Billy Madison
- Keith Mars
- Tina Fey
- Marty McFly
Who do you want to be?

@B.E. Earl, OH YEAH…? Well, Team Angel is flying to New York this August and is going to kick your Spike loving ass. You actually thought you got away with trash talking, didn’t you? I am EVER VIGILANT, Earl!!

@B.E. Earl, I’m with you on Angel being whiny. Dave Grohl is my new nemesis, though.

You’d make a great Buffy.
I want to be me with more money. Or Eliza Dushku.

Marty McFly and Billy Madison for sure!
Also, Indiana Jones would be fun for a spell, as would Lt John Dunbar and Han Solo.
And, Atticus Finch during his closing argument at Tom Robinson’s trial.
If it were for just a few seconds, Todd Anderson when he first stood on his desk and said, “O Captain, My Captain!”

If I was Buffy, I’d make out with Willow. Otherwise I’d like to be the Hulk. Or just somebody healthy.

@hello haha narf, nope, I meant you. I think it would be cool to be you for a day – not necessarily because your LIFE is so much better than mine, but I’d just like a chance to see the world the way you do, feel your heart the way you do, etc.
Although I might update *my* closet that day if there was time.
