I've never had role models. I didnt have a vision of me as an adult either. I still dont.

Yes! There was this guy in college who was a year ahead of me. He was quite a character, intelligent and openly eccentric--he would bake cookies with insects in them, and sleep in a coffin that he built himself, etc. I'm quite sure he was NT, too.
Anyway, I barely knew the guy, but his coolness just really impressed me, how he was so proud of being weird, and his happy-go-lucky jack-of-all-trades attitude.
I think of him every now and then, sometimes I think 'what would M--- do in this situation'?

For some reason, recently Jeff Hardy from WWE inspired me to be a bit like him lol. Of course not in the wrestling sense - my talents don't lie in wrestling lol. :lol:

I used to want to be like my sister because of how outgoing she is and how it seemed she could just meet people so easily everywhere she went; especially guys.

Just a simple homicidal maniac, nothing special.

O and the literary version of Boba Fett; man, the dude forgot what his voice sounded like, he bows to no one, and he doesn't care if he dies or not.

Yes.
My ex neighbour.

I liked the type clothing that she wore. It was "out-doorsey" and relaxed, but looked great. She always wore T-shirts with writing on them...one of them said "Hello, My name is B**ch." I went out and bought the same T-shirt. She rode a motorbike and guess what...I took up lessons! I even somewhat adopted her attitude and mannerisms which she told me was annoying at times. :roll: I guess I just admired her. She had lots of friends, was very accepting and assertive.
I only stopped trying to be like her when she became severely mentally ill. Soon after, she moved out of the apartment.

When I was a little kid, I wanted to be just like Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong Country TV show.
