We All Just Want to be Big Rock Stars

Recently I made the comment that I haven't given up on my dream of being a rock star.

I was having a silly moment and I laughed about it but part of me knew it was true. I do still want to be a rock star. Despite not being able to carry a tune and not being able to play an instrument and not being able to read music I still carry the hope that I will be a rock star.

This is something I have dreamed about since high school when I discovered girls can rock just as well as boys. In fact I wanted to be Lita Ford or Pat Benatar. Do you remember them? I do!!! They were just two of my inspirations. No bubble gum pop for me.

I didn't want to be a teacher or astronaut or lawyer. I wasn't (and I am still not) sure what I wanted to do but I was sure (and still am) I would make a kick ass rock star.

I was never sure how I was going to accomplish this dream and I never had a plan, it was just one of those day dreams I had.

And after I made that comment it was pointed out to me that there is a hint of that dream in my every day life.

• Trendy asymmetrical messy hair cut.
• Leather cuff bracelet I wear often and usually with my most conservative outfit.
• Skull scarf, earrings, necklace, shirt, bracelet that are not always noticeable but often there.
• Leather buckle "biker" boots that are my idea of snow boots.
• Tattoos and piercing that only the lucky few get to see.

I am not sure what this all says about me. Or if it says anything at all. I don't think I will become a rock star and I am not wishing away my life for it to happen. I like to pretend that all this makes me a little edgy but I am sure it really doesn't. Maybe I am just A Girl Named Michael that loves music and wants to be part of it beyond singing really loud in my car.

What did you want to be when you were younger?
