I just like real qualities that I've seen real people do in real life.  But I'm a bear of very little brain.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

I want to be William Wallace. Does that count?

Only if your looking at the real William Wallace, and not Mel Gibson's version of him.

Sadly, I've not seen many qualities in people I've met that I'd actually want...*sigh*  (I like you guys, though :D)
If curiosity really killed the cat, I'd already be dead. :laugh:

At least Nichole is a real person, not a media persona.  I find it somehow out of sorts that so many people ID with non-real persons, or outright fictional characters. 

To hell with media personas. But isn't the whole point of fictional characters to be people we can identify with?
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Most of my heroes are people who I've met. Some are musicians, some are in the LGBTQA community, some are even family members  ;) They're all just really cool people who I admire and learn from.

I don't relate to any famous people but there are bits about a lot of fictional characters I relate to of course they have been created to be relate able. I don't relate to anybody thats "normal"
I don't want to be a man there from Mars
I'd Like to be a woman Venus looks beautiful
I'm enjoying living on Pluto, but it is a bit lonely

I have to say, in terms of role models (and not people I necessarily personally relate to), I love Sir David Attenborough and Howard Goodall. I think they're brilliant.

There are others, both living and dead, but Attenborough and Goodall are possibly the most influential.
