[Perndog]

Well done, kahl. You've succeeded impressively. Unless you planned on getting paid to write, of course. *shrug*

I wanted to be a musician. :)

[Sam]

I always wanted to be a sniper too. :/

And when I was younger I wanted to be a pirate so I'd have an excuse to wear an eyepatch and say "argh".

[kahljorn]

Someday I want to get paid, I'm going to put a book togeter soon, but I'm not sure which of my ideas I want to start with.

And alot of my theories are still undeveloped and need some fillers, course i could just slam pam it.

It will be funny to see people take your occultology seriously.

I wanted to be an eletronic repair man. Once fixed our heater back when I was 5 and I seemed to be mightily impressed by him.

I would do well in any job with limited responsibilites. Which doesn't say much.

[Hobo Renee]

I wanted to be a switchboard telephone operator, and then of course someone ruined my dream and let me know that they no longer exist. Damn 2nd graders stomping all over my 1st grade world. Now I would like to be writer, prehaps an English teacher or Librarian on the side until I make it BIG.

[kahljorn]

People have found Philosophy in it, before. It's not very difficult in some of them.... you just have to be in the right state of mind. Kind of like.. how i write loosely, my mind is loose, my fingers are loose, and it just comes out. Like I'm channeling it, you have to be in the same state when you're reading it.

[glowbelly]

my fren verlie wanted to be a garbage man when he was little because he thought that they worked only one day a week :lol

i wanted to be a doctor when i was little. this stemmed from when i was graduating from pre-school and we had a little ceremony with hats and stuff. on our hats we were supposed to write what it was we wanted to be when we grew up. i told the lady that i wanted to be a doctor and she laughed and said to me, "oh honey! how about we make you a nurse instead?"

>:

people have told me that i should be a shrink, but no thank you.

i just wanna take pics and be a mother.

[Matt Harty]

"oh honey! how about we make you a nurse instead?"

people have told me that i should be a shrink, but no thank you.

It's a very good profession! :)

[glowbelly]

i've gone to them for half of my life. i don't wanna be one...although it might have saved me a buttload of cash.

[mesobe]

I wanted to be a pilot and became one... but never really persued it as a career.

But I thought that becoming a strange mountain hippie and just grow pot in the mountains would be pretty cool.

The one thing that I hear time after time is that I would make a good psychologist, because I love disecting people's minds and I've become rather good at it. The problem is that I don't really take the field seriously as much as I should, and it often seems like I'm doomed to marry one anyways. Sometimes I think I'd like to be a father, but I keep reverting to the desire to raise my children the way that J.S. Mill's father did. True, the guy developed an IQ around 200, but he absolutely loathed his parents and made this fact well known.[/u]

[SMN]

I really want to get into the cinematography business. Cuz I want to be the next Sam Rami, or James cameron, then be a starving artist living in his paents basement again..

[Krythor]

I remember clearly that the first thing I wanted to be was a cartoon character after I'd finished watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Then I wanted to be a chef, open a chain of arcades and be a cable TV executive. :(

[Matt Harty]

yeah I remember my chef dream. watched the food network a little too much. :/

[sadie]

i don't wanna be one...although it might have saved me a buttload of cash.
probably not, as it seems they all have their own anyways.
