I wanted to live the life

[copzgirl1171]

of a freaking rock groupie.

A real one. I wanted to follow bands, dance, get high, free love and all that stuff.

You?

I wanted to be able to someday look in a catalog and actually be able to buy an item from it.

Nothing fun?

I mean you never wished you were a hippie or lived during the Salem witch trials, or crossed the Delaware chewing on your underwear?

I wanted to join the circus. I was going to be one of the girls standing on the back of the horses and travel the world. And then i realized I'm not that talented, so I decided I'd just be one of the animal caretakers. This idea stayed in the back of my head as a possible option for much much longer than I'm willing to admit. And then i found out that circuses are mean to all of their animals, not just the "wild" ones, and being circus folk is a shitty shitty life.

Boo for reality.

Also i want to be a pioneer. I still think that. If NASA started recruiting people to go colonize another planet I'd totally sign up. I think they'd take me too...I'm young, I'm healthy, I'm an engineeer...sounds like a plan.

I was going be a female James Bond. I was going to stay in five star hotels and shoot bad guys and get laid by all the hot guys and have a million cool connections around the world who could get me what I needed when I needed it and kick everyone's ass with my right hand whilst sipping tea with my left.

I was going to be BAD ASS.

Dude, what happens if you become unattached and float away.

I listen to music. It happens. Ground control to Maj. Tom ring a bell?

I wanted to be a pioneer girl. Thank you, Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Post-divorce, I wanted to move to Boston and be a cool Harvard grad student. :::puts L on forehead:::

I wanted to be an architect since I was 5.

It's not actually as amazeballs as my elementary school mind led me to believe. I have not even a cane to whap around on job sites.

[eclaires]

I wanted to be a CIA agent like Jack Ryan and eventually be the President. muahahaha!

I wanted to be one of those emo kids who backpacks across Europe. Which is hilarious since I can't wear my clothes more than one time between washes and I die if I don't shower at least once (maybe twice) a day.

I suggested this as a career path to a friend of mine. She was an art major with a minor in international relations. She went to Costa Rica to teach little kids for a while. And then was kinda just bumming around and told her to start trying to look for international relations type stuff and become a spy. She is borderline sociopathic with her lack of morals - she could totally do it.

Instead she's going to grad school for landscape architecture. (lame)

I wanted to be a ballerina. When I watch ballet in my mind I can still do all that stuff....I feel like I missed my calling there.

You could buy a cane. Dream FUFILLED.

I wanted to go to Africa and be Jane Goodall. I was going to save the big cats.

Then I decided maybe that was a lofty goal for such a homebody, so I wanted to work at a zoo. So my friends said I wanted to be a kangaroo shit picker upper.

I also wanted a PhD and then have PhD tattooed on my ass. Then I found out school isn't as fun as making money, and graduate school is even less fun.

[pescalita]

Ps now I'm an accountant.

It really feels like something like that should be gifted to you with some clever inscription like "May your life be filled with corbel arches and cantilevered dreams, and let nary a vinyl window impede your parti".
