I'm watching 'Runaway Bride' (again) and Richard Gere drives a silver Chevrolet Camaro in it....earlier i caught an episode of 'Friends' which had each of them wondering what might've been had things been different....if Joey was still in 'Days of our lives' or if Monica was fat (she seems to have a lot more energy in that chubby getup)....or if Ross's wife wasn't a lesbian...
All this got me thinking (the Camaro kicked it off) about the time that my dad was in the U.S., working as a consultant to buy a hotel property there...he had it all worked out :)...he was gonna get himself a BMW 740iL and was gonna get me a Chevrolet Camaro :) ...that was if the deal went through and we shifted to the States...which we never did...
...but it does make me wonder....i was 18 then....would've got into high school maybe? ...joined a college...what would i have studied?....mmm...realizing (hopefully) that math and physics might be best friends but are no good friends of mine...would've taken up philosophy, psychology, literature, sociology...gone on roadtrips to all the big museums across the country...gone fishing on weekends (assuming there was a lake neaarby)...would've dated a little...or a lot! :) ....would my accent be 'americanized'?....probably...it's only recently that i've realized i prefer speaking 'correctly' than adapting my manner of speech to the country i might inhabit - not being a native of that country...
...would've lived in the library (having made sure the college/university i went to had a really good library)...would've discovered Ray Charles, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald...secret poetry reading societies....or readings at the old gym behind the pool hehe....seen the history behind America...gone on roadtrips....fallen in love on one've those trips lol...as you can see, i'm quite a romantic...;)
Actually, i think i would've liked living in the 50's or the 70's...if nothing else, then just for the music...don't know what kinda hippie i would've made had i lived through the 'flower years' in the late 60's and early 70's...
Some 'fantasizing' before the year ends :) ...lets see what 'realities' the new one has in store!
