The fantasy job at Rick's Caf� Am�ricain made me wonder what character from fiction (movie, book, play, etc.) had a life you envied.

When I was a kid I thought the White Rabbit was totally odd and awesome, but who I really wanted to be was Kimball O'Hara from Kipling's Kim. Now there was a boy making his own brave way in the world!

Maybe not surprisingly, as an adult it was Indiana Jones.

Sherlock Holmes

Because of the excitement and intellect and puzzles, dbussone? But he always struck me as kind of sad and lost as a person.

I would like to be Katniss Everdean the protagonist in Divergent. She is a strong, brave, competent female who had to win her way to the chance to do good for the world.

Just an interesting side note . Back in the day when this tale was written " Hatters" often did go " Mad ". They worked with strong chemicals one of them being as I understood it " Mercury " which became absorbed into their bodies and built up to such toxic levels that often professional " Hatters " became very peculiar / odd personalities and often became referred to as " Mad ".
