As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.
Now, replace Gregor Samsa with your name. The pronouns with the gender appropriate pronoun and monstrous vermin with the gender opposite of you.
Actually a better way to put it would be something like this.
What would my life have been like if I had been born a girl? Or boy. Applicably.
Am I the only one who has thoughts like this?
Seriously though. What would be different? Who would I be friends with? What would I look like? Who would I like? Who would like me? Would I have joined Cadets? Would I have started going to church? Would I be blogging? Would I still do musical stuff? Would I be a similar person overall? Or a completely different person?
So many questions. I actually spent almost a full hour last night laying on my bed, in the dark thinking about this. So to say that I am genuinely curious would be a bit of an understatement.
I wish I could dream a second life. Have it be just as real as this one. The same in every way, except that I would be a girl. It would be absolutely fascinating. To see the differences.
How about you internet stalker folks? What do you think? Have you thought about this before?
Oh, in a completely different direction. I just recently borrowed three Rise Against cds. Which are, "Siren Song of the Counter Culture" "The Sufferer & The Witness" and the newest cd, "Appeal to Reason". I enjoy them. A lot. In fact, I will give you the names of the songs I like the most. Look up the lyrics to the songs yourselves you lazy heathens.
"Appeal to Reason"
Long Forgotten Sons
Kotov Syndrome
From Heads Unworthy
Savior
"The Sufferer & the Witness"
Ready to Fall
Drones
Prayer of the Refugee
"Siren Song of the Counter Culture"
Give It All
Dancing For Rain
Swing Life Away
These are all very excellent songs. There are others as well, I am just to lazy to write them here.
Bye!

All worthy song choices!
Ah yes, another thinker like myself =) I to think about that a lot. What would be different if I was different. I've actually had these kinds of conversations at camp and I quite like it...
I'm glad you've got the CDs Matt =) And those are very good songs..
The song "Rumors of my demise have greatly been exaggerated?"
Is a great song as well =)
Mmmhmmm, dancing for rain, and drones are really good songs. I like The Approaching Curve too...wait, I pretty much like all of them.
I think it's easier for girls to imagine what it would be like to be a guy a lot easier than vise versa.
...I used to sometimes wish i was a guy....ok, still do sometimes. BUtttttt, I like being a girl too and I think I'll stick with it, for now at least...
haha.
oh, yeah, and I love, love, The Good left undone.
i must say i have most definatly thought like that.. and still do. its something to ponder eh... so much would be differant.. but so much would be the same.. i thinks..
