Supposing there was reincarnation, what were you in a past life?

[m-jean03]

I'm almost certain I was a hoofer on stage and screen. (Note that "f", folks. That's "hoofer", as in a dancer, particularly tap.) I love musicals, I love the energy and the movement of the dancers -- I find it totally mesmerizing.

1. That is a good question

Probaly an 1800's South Western Cowboy, maybe a Marshall or an Outlaw. I'm not sure I could've been anything :hi:

3. That's funny, Champ!

Why do you say that? I do love the Wild West in many ways, ( even though in many ways and for many people, it was terribly cruel).

Have you seen "Shanghai Noon"?

[Champ]

5. So do I

I love reading up on history about it. Something I forgot to mention is there are places even in my own state I would love to visit. Alot of crazy things went down and in many ways it was cruel. Reason why I said that was since I never been outside the southwest I was probaly someone who lived in the southwest, just at an earlier time.

Yes I love that movie! It was hilarious :D

Actually after you told me you seen "The Hot Chick" I knew you'd be fun to watch movies with! :D

11. Probably a peasant

Lived a short life, mostly poor - some joys, much suffering. Not much worldly knowledge, but I probably got pretty good at a broad set of agricultural tasks. That is, if I didn't die too early in childhood or infancy from some disease. I lived to be 47.

I love the folks who think they were Cleopatra or Louis XIV's mistress. The vast, vast, vast majority of humanity throughout its history were simple workers with extremely local outlooks and customs. How is that so many people with past lives were these interesting eccentrics. I have a theory: most of these folks are simple workers today, so they live in a history book or a novel. Now, even if you were part of the nobility in, say, the European Middle Ages (these past-lives crew are disproportionately drawn to the Middle Ages, probably because of fantasy role play, etc.), you lived a fairly filthy existence, and were subject to no end of diseases and other threats. It was hardly a glamorous existence.

Sorry, I just don't get the past lives obsession. Too much a student of history, I guess.

Bonnie Parker...I'm sure who/whatever I was I was up to no good. :P
