    Exactly as it says on the tin. For me it'd have to be David Attenborough. Would love to know the things he knows and go everywhere he's been, see all the stuff he gets to see.

    I'd love to be a woman.

    Plus I always wanted to be to be someone really smart like Socrates or Einstein.

    EDIT

    I know the above does not correspond.

    If you spend your life wishing you were somebody else its a waste of the person you are.

    Do you have to be human? I'd like to be a tiny tiny tiny microbe. You could literally travel anywhere you wanted - anywhere.

    'Be yourself, everyone else is taken.'( I forget who said it.)
    I know it's a hypothetical question, but i can't think of anyone else i'd rather be, altho' I do admire lots of people. I would not like modern day 'fame'.

    I'd love to be Ishydin, or Gaebril and get to ride that Morgase one. Be bloody brilliant. Or even better, Rand, and always have a bit handy on the side. Ah the nights I have spent dreaming for my dear Ilyena.

    Hmmmm, this is a good question.

    I would not change who I am, but I would retrospectively change one of my parents for somebody extremely wealthy so that I might be able to retire in my 50's.

    Me v2.0

    The fitter, sexier, cleverer and more sociable version of myself. A bit of self-improvement is all that's needed.
