Cool Following in the footsteps of your favorite character

I know a lot of you are going to say cop (I'm keeping a tab! ), but if you did the same thing in life as a favorite TV character of yours, what would you be doing to bring home a paycheck?

I'd either be:
A housewife that's married to a bandleader
In a military prison camp
Cruising the country in a '61 Vette (now that's not half bad)
or, yes, a cop (but not because of The Division; I'm an Adam-12 girl)

-Jinny

Just think of me as a short version of a tall person.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Notice: If you copy me, I will be forced to send you to the outermost reigons of the pig where you will suffer miserably, for I am Jinny: Queen o' the Pigs and Penguins!

Oh please don't. You don't want to end up like Jinny, do you?


If I were to follow in any characters footsteps, it would be Captain Kirks.


Imagine me, Captain of the USS Enterprise, exploring new worlds and beating up the bad guys.

I'd be a cop But even if it wasn't my favorite character, I'd be a cop anyways. I've always wanted to be one.
