You're far too smart to be Juliet. You'd make a great Mercutio, though, with all the bawdy double-entendres.
Of all the women we've spent time with in Shakespeare so far, Eleanor of Aquitaine is the only one who is consistently bright and assertive (and a tad underhanded, but so much the better). This will change, of course, but it's a little depressing nonetheless.
Hmm... maybe you'd enjoy being a girl dressed as a boy getting the man who loves her but does not recognise her when she is dressed as a boy to court her male persona in order to practice courting a woman, the better to win her when she is a girl? I can sort of see you as Rosalind, but I haven't read As You Like It for years, so I can't be sure...
Catherine, who is very much looking forward to Rosalind herself
