I'd like to thank all of the little people...

Have you ever wondered what it would like to be famous? I have.

When I was little, I would pretend that I was a star. One of my favorite places to imagine was in the shower. I would pile my wet hair on top of my head as if it were in a fabulous up-do and then proceed to act like I was being interviewed by Oprah.

Sometimes, I would pretend I was a guest star on my favorite tv show at the time, Home Improvement. I had a huge crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas so I would pretend I was his girlfriend. I would act very dramatic and make sure there were plenty of kissing scenes. Yes, not only did I talk to myself in the shower, I would kiss the walls!

Now that I am older and much wiser, I no longer dream of being famous. I realize that a movie star's lifestyle is not as appealing as I once thought it to be.

I know I'm not the only one with embarrassing childhood fantasies. What are some of yours?

Lexi and I used to prepare Oscar thank-you speeches, too. I still sometimes think about what I would say if I won one, and I decided I would just say, "Thank you." Then everyone could just get on with the show -- I'd do my real thanking later by sending people cards and stuff.

Hm. I STILL talk to myself, but I don't know if I ever kissed my shower wall -- maybe I would've if I wasn't such a clean freak! :)

I too had a HUGE crush on JTT! My brother was doing really bad in school so my mom canceled cable. I cried so hard because I couldn't see him every week. My claim to fame though is that he did come from my home town... well the one next to it.
