I used to want to be the princess girl from Never Ending Story, you know the one who is in the white room, when the world gets destroyed by the nothing. And Sebastian has to give her a new name, and he chooses his dead mothers name. I don't think I still understand that movie. Maybe i need to watch it now, as my mind is fully developed. I know it is very philosophical and if anyone wants to discuss what the nothing is, with me, we could do that.
I also wanted to be Rainbow Bright, Punky Brewster, Pippi Long Stalkings, the girl on Saturdays Warrior has to choose between Todd and Elder Kesler and sings "he's just a friend like those I count in dozens, a kind unselfish boy who understands my pain". Funny I never met a kind, unselfish boy who understands my pain. Well I take that back, i have met dozens of them, they just ended up adding to the forementioned pain.
Let's see I also wanted to be Shee-ra Warrior Princess, I wanted to be a Barbie, but my mom was very careful to only buy me brunette barbies thanks Mom. I also wanted to be the girl named Andy on Goonies who makes out with the older brother, and Mikey (always a greedy one). I also wanted to be the robot girl 'Vicky' on small wonder, I always had a thing for that Jamie. And I wanted to be GEM. I wonder if all the other little girls ages 27-32 are like me, and went though a "wishing I was a princess/mormon musical girl/orphan red haired/animated rock star" phase like I did. I wonder if that makes us more alike. We all had the same Icons/heros/ideals. Who did you want to be like or just be? Dig into the archives.

The kid in that baseball movie who broke his arm and then could pitch really fast...I didn't want to be him but I sure dreamed of the day I too would break my arm and make it to the Majors.
WHOA....you totally just took me back to my childhood. Ahhh, the good old days.
By the way, your right that NEver ending story movie never made any sense to me when I was a kid. My brothers would watch it over and over. And I never did figure out what the heck was going on in it. Maybe I should watch it now too and maybe between the two of us it would make sense.
This is brad...in the Never Ending Story the girl was the Child like Empress and i never knew the dead mom's name?...other movies The Dark Crystal,Labyrinth,The Goonies,E.T. just to name a few.
I haven't seen Never Ending Story since I was a kid either and I wouldn't mind watching it now as an adult. Maybe one of these Thursdays when you come over. I'll put it on my netflix.
I always wanted to be Alice in Alice in Wonderland and get to eat those little cakes and either shrink really small or grow really big. I also always wanted to be a Thundercat!
we tried to watch the never ending story the other week. Kassidy was too scared so we had to turn it off! i thought for sure we could bond with that movie! maybe another year. SOOOO if you and Mary want to borrow I am willing to lend for the sake of movie awesomeness!!!!
