I wanna be...
when kids are asked what they want to be when they grow up, the most common answers are:
pilot, astronaut, doctor, architect, vet, ballerina...
i remember these answers vividly from the kids in my class. of course, i had the most horrid answers of all: "i don't know" but that's beside the point.
how come no kids ever say they want to become consultants, teachers, engineers, project managers, programmers, housewives ?
which is what most of us turn out to be anyway...
what did u originally want to become when u grew up ?

In elementary school we had to dress up as what we want to be when we grow up and explain what we'd be doing and why we wanted to be that. I dressed up as an engineer/architect
Growing up I also wanted to be a teacher, working for NASA, explorer/geologist (the guys who dig up ruins and try to get facts, like the titanic and stuff :P) and whatever I was dreaming of becoming I was also an exceptional writer and an amazing artist :P
I'm 22 studying engineering, hoping to achieve all of the mentioned above and I'm still adding to the "I wanna be" list. I still want all the things I wanted when I was younger, but the major thing I added is being a rock star :P
wow dishevelled u take ambition to a whole new level - good luck :)
i think i wanted to be a supermodel! And then my parents said "No!" So i decided to become a writer. Or a magazine editor.
I turned out a blogger. Close enough, no?
I always wanted to train as a neurosurgeon from the time I was toilet trained.
And boy, did I get a realty check when it finally sunk in, my manual dexterity was nowhere up to scratch. Some reality check that was - felt more like high voltage shock therapy !!
The only upside to this handicap of mine is I can have some time to call my own to blog.
I will let you in on another secret - at 35, I am still not sure I am fully grown. I continue to grow giving wings to my flights of comic fancy.
this lady: blogging is more of a hobby than a profession isnt it - that's why it's so enjoyable
me talk dirty one day: i know a lot of 35 year-olds and over that are not fully grown so nothing unusual there :)
I wanted to be a movie star in hollywood and I wanted to live in a trailer ... :)
chirp: a trailer - u mean when u're filming on the set, before u go back to your fancy crib right ;)
I always thought that I would end up a model (I used to pose in front of cameras and mirrors) :p ! For a chubby kid I used to have high self-esteem!
adie: that's kinda adorable :) so what did u eventually become ?
