so what do/did you want to be when you grow up?

Some of us haven't grown up, some have. But all of us, whether you're on your way there, or didn't quite make it, have some sort of dream occupation. I feel bad trying to limit answers to only one line, 'cause I can think of maybe five things I want to do with my life. So you can go ahead and tell a few, just pick one you like above the rest. So let's have them, what did you want to be?

In order of goodness:
1. Real live race car driver.
2. Race car mechanic
3. Writer
4. Teacher

1-3 I suck too bad at to do pro, 4 is all I have a chance at.

1. builder/designer of crazy shit.
2. writer
3. soldier

#1 i don't have enough money to pursue, #2 i'm working on, and #3 i can do any time i decide i'm willing to go through fucking boot camp. best part about #3 is that it doesn't preclude the first 2.

Growing up would foil my lifelong plans.
When I was a kid, I wanted to play. When I got bigger, I still wanted to play.
I wanted to be a professional animal hunter, did it.
I wanted to be an artist, did it.
I wanted to be a cowboy, did it.
I wanted to be a pilot, did it.
I play for a living, it's what I wanted to do as a kid and what I want to do now.

You drones can have the real jobs.

At this point in time:

1. General Manager for a major league baseball team
2. Own a record company, started by myself
3. Own some wacky shop from my imagination
4. Teacher

I guess in that order. I want to be a professor eventually, but I have to do something else first. Those two look pretty good to me.

1. Astronomer. Too bad my math wasn't up to snuff.
2. Sci-Fi author.
3. Rich, depraved billionaire.

That was about it.

I'd still like to become #3.

If you'd have married a kamikaze pilot, killed them, stolen their money and lied about it, you could have accomplished all your dreams in record time.

I certainly never planned on being a teacher, although I didn't suck too badly at it. I guess that writer was all I ever saw myself as being. Still time for that, I guess.

You still have time. Give it a few years and top the thread again.

Yeah, if you'd have been her pointer finger, you'd have always been on the sidelines.

Lu's hired.

RiZZ is not.


Edit to stay on topic: All I ever wanted to be is Supreme Omnipotent Ruler of the Multiverse. I was hoping to get there by 30. Time's running out.
