TM #261 - Which fictional character would you like to be?

So back about 19 years ago, I met Morgan. He had one of those plastic Kenner light sabers which, well, were not much more than a flashlight with a colored tube at the end.

But when you're 9, and a total Star Wars geek, they are the coolest toys...ever.

I had one too and Morgan and I would sometimes reenact scenes from the movies. But all too often, we would roam the neighborhood with our light sabers, pretending we were two Jedis.

The neighborhood was filled with many imaginary enemies that we would have to duel to complete...well, whatever mission we dreamed up for that particular day. Rescue missions were pretty popular ideas for us.

Some kids would look at us like we were totally crazy or losers or whatever. But we didn't care all that much. We just thought it would be a lot of fun to live the life of a Jedi...even if it was just the stuff of overactive fan boy imaginations.

So yeah, if anyone asked if I wanted to live the life of a fictional character, I didn't always choose a particular one. But I often pretended to live in a world that was completely fictional when I was younger.

That counts, right?
