Your child hood hero?...
2007-06-28, 9:11 PM #1
This is a question that keeps bugging me, since I see it alot in those "in case you forget your password" things for e-mails and accounts and such. Soo, who's yours?

I'll start with mine, and I'm sorry if he's yours too, but he truly is my child hood hero: Kyle Katarn.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who ever worked for NASA. I used to be obsessed with the space program.

Later on I discovered the writings of Isaac Asimov, and I guess you could say he’s been my hero ever since.

Probably Churchill.

(But in the hood it was the granny with the wild staring eyes who hung around outside the corner shop battering children with her walking stick. Man that s*** was dope my homie.)

Or something.

I can't say because I use that question for my accounts. >.>

But second to that hero was Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.

Really? Mine too. My (as of 2 weeks ago) ex-roommates and I went on a cross-country road trip to visit the grave areas of our heroes; we got as close to Jefferson's as we could, and went to Aspen to find the field Thompson's ceremony was held at to spend an afternoon drinking at each site in our heroes' honor.

Hmmm, I think perhaps He-Man. He was cool.

Or perhaps Donatello from the Turtles.

my mother. she left home at 16, worked in not great jobs until her 30s when she used becoming pregnant as an opportunity to go back to university, then spent the next 20 years raising a child alone whilst simultaneously changing the lives of thousands (at least) of women and children who experience domestic violence, sexual abuse and trafficking. she is now a world leader in her field and has been recognised as such in the Queen's honours.

maeve had an awesome one but mine is better.

the terminator. :D

yeah god damned i was five years old when T2 came out and i watched it every day for the majority of my childhood. i enjoyed that film more than i enjoyed friends and family... there was just something about that film that was so much better than real people.
2007-06-29, 4:54 AM #21
I seriously can't say I remember who my childhood hero was. Donatello and/or Leonardo from the Ninja Turtles are probably somewhere on top of the last along with Batman.

But yes, I can understand why you call them all childhood heroes. Because your hero of the day is the mother****ing JEPMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We snuck onto Montalto about an hour after sunset. We didn't figure we could get away with not only entering the estate, but doing so drunk at the time.

Indiana Jones. I had an official Indiana Jones leather jacket, and used to run around all the time with it and a fedora and whip, getting into (imagining) adventures.

As for Jefferson, he was pretty effing awesome. I didn't know much about him until a few months ago when we had a whole lecture devoted to him in a Culture & Ideas class I took. He's now one of my favorite historical figures.

I always watched John Wayne movies with my Dad when I was younger.

John Wayne is the original Alpha Male. He doesn't take **** from anybody.

And quite frankly, I don't care what you think of my sexuality enough to even give your question a fleeting thought.
