Who I want to be when I grow up...

When I was very young, not much younger actually, still applies today - from a long time ago, I like most people had idols, people I wanted to grow up to be like.

However, not being an entirely standard person, my idols were likewise unusual.

Yoda

Ludo

Wisest of the Mystics

Snuffleupagus

Beaker

Treebeard

Junior Gorg


Yes, I appreciate I was odd.

Over the years, I think I've become most like Junior Gorg, physically there is little to seperate us - though he is far cuter, but the general disposition is much the same as me - my likeness in felt. :)

I'd like to think I retained some of Ludo's playfulness and friendliness, at least in that I still approach these areas much as a child would. From the Mystics and Yoda I have inherited the knack of talking in riddles, usually I either manage to confuse people or bore them to death. From Beaker I received his fear, and nervousness, qualities I quite like in others but am not much keen on in myself - but Beaker was always special.

From Treebeard, the most important things, slowness - "anything worth saying, is worth taking a long time over", knowing what side I'm on, and above all a love of trees.

Yes, it's good to have something to grow up to be - once I have done so, I'll let you know if I'm worth taking any time over.
