switching lives
This is quite random but the idea came up when my friend and I were talking about it on the dinner table but:

If you ever switch lives with someone (dead or alive, an animal, a relative, a cartoon or whoever), who would it be and why?

I'll start: I would switch lives with Conan Edogawa from Case Closed. Mainly because it would be cool to solve crimes the way he does... very quickly LOL

If you switched lives with someone dead, wouldn't you just be killing yourself?

There's no one whose life I'd want to have permanently, but I think it'd be nice to be Miroslav Lovric for a week. You either know why or you don't, so I won't elaborate.

Other than that, probably any generic action/super hero because superpowers and not fearing death would be a ****load of fun.

Got a point there but what I meant was a person that lived a long time ago and now the person's dead. I guess someone famous... I don't know

Honestly.... Tony Stark (Iron Man). he has EVERYTHING.

OH! Or that blue chick from XMen... Then couldn't I just transform into anyone I want? Then I could be anyone INCLUDING IRON MAN!

...Of course I'd have to dispose of the real people.

Prince William

I mean, who wouldn't want to nail Kate Middleton and be the future King of England?

Mystique.


As for who I would want to switch lives with, I would say Yvonne Strahovski, travel back in time to last year so I could be with Zach Levi on-screen.

Rory Gilmore from "The Gilmore Girls" in the 7th season, episode called "You Jump, I Jump, Jack." Yes... I know the names of all the episodes and can quote them off the top of my head. I also watch the episodes and mouth the words... nbd or anything.

This begs the question, why arn't you happy with YOUR life and what are you doing to fix what you don't like?

there are millions of people I would consider switching lives with, pro athletes, billionaires etc. some have it really good, and barely have to put forth an effort.

Of course the logical part of me knows this will never happen so I rarely think about it, same goes for rewinding time.
