Saturday Slant Week 15 Year 2

This weeks Saturday Slant is a fun one... Who would you want to be??? Check out this and other questions at Pariah Burke's Blog

Your Life As A Cartoon
A freak electrical storm sucks you into your television--into a cartoon. Which cartoon character are you? How would you meet the cartoon character's daily challenges? In what way would you bring your own personality to the persona of the cartoon character?

Well, I am Lucy from Peanuts. In the flesh. Not too much tweaking here needed. Bold, assertive, always has the right answer yet you wonder how much of that is pure show. She does try to get some answers to her life's difficulties from Snoopy, who fills in for her at her little psychiatric booth but it hardly helps and there is always the 5 cents to pay. I paid for a friend in the form of therapy once. It helps for a while.... She plays baseball with the boys, and torments her little brother.(Yes, my brother cried like a girl and since I was going to get hit for it anyway I was merciless), and of course falls hopelessly in love with the wrong man...Schroder never cares for her as much as she cared for him...funny I had a man named Schroder in my life once, same thing...
I dont know that I would change Lucy. I think I would be a great fit. I feel for her and wish that she would find some tenderness and self acceptance in the midst of all that bravado...I sometimes wish that I could find it for myself as well...
