Nope, you hadn't asked yet :) Thank you for asking. (I'd reciprocate, but... uh... I *think* I can guess.)
I grew up majorly obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. It was the theme of most of my birthdays. My mom spray-painted my white church shoes red and put sequins on them to make me ruby slippers. I had a li'l stuffed Benji dog that I made a new tag for - that said "Toto" - and carried around in a basket. I would get home from school, watch the movie, rewind it and watch it again, while wearing the shoes and a li'l dress and acting it out. Then watch Return To Oz or The Wiz and do the same thing, lol. So, yeah, I wanted to be Dorothy.
But my username is actually from one of my songs...
I'm a would-be Dorothy looking for home Looking to be blown into my destiny Better get a twister of my own
Just the first verse. Song's actually called Under The Rainbow, lol. But nothing recorded, so no new YouSendIt's coming your way.
I love Wicked now, so maybe I should want to be Elphaba/Wicked Witch, but nahh. I'm still a Dorothy.
