When You Were Young You Hoped To Be

[_jonas]

What did you want to be when you were young? Like your dream career or life?
What do you still plan on being or hope to achieve with your life?

Right now I've been leaning towards a something in journalism or simply being the greatest author that ever lived. Or maybe a powerful politician. After hitting the Ivy League status of course.

Dreams are fun.

[4N6 science]

I wanted to be a firefighter.

[_jonas]

I wanted to be an actor when I was way younger. Then later a Rivers Cuomo.

[argg_xo]

i wanted to be a pet shop owner. i'm leaning more towards the medical field right now but i will own a pet shop one day!

[percussionguita]

I wanted to work for Pixar but now I'm heading towards music technology. I guess I could always work there in the music dept.

power ranger ftw. that was what I wanted to be.

[tomakebelieve]

Growing up, I wanted to be the first female president. My dreams were shattered when my pastor (I went to a lutheran church school for elementary school) informed me that women weren't allowed to (in god's eyes) be in such a place of power.

[caLLmEnOoNe]

lol who didn't?

[Charles777]

When I was young I wanted to be a comedian.
I still kinda think it would be cool,
And I can sorta picture myself doing it,
:-|
But I don't think it will go anywhere.

Now I just want to make music.
;-)

[Brooklyn2010]

I wanted to be Christie Yamaguchi or Michelle Kwon... I was so obsessed with ice skating.

My childhood dream careers were:
1. Fox (this was when I was really young)
2. Actress
3. Marine Biologist
4. Singer

Now, I kind of want to work in the music business, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

[raychull]

I always wanted to be a doctor. Now I kind of laugh, because blood, or discussing anatomical things, makes me pale.

[PadraicPrincess]

I just wanted to be one because I LOVED seals. But then I realized that I might have to look at dead ones. Eep.

PS: Did you go to Feist last Friday?

[Metfan615]

I wanted to be an Ice Cream man lol

[xAnti-Violentx]

I wanted to be a painter, such as Pablo Picasso. I'm glad I've changed my mind, because I really have no talent for painting.

[SLoT]

I wanted to be a farmer. So I could have horses and other animals, and a house way back off the road. Then I went to visit my grandparents in Texas who owned a farm, and I came face to face with the corn fields. Ended that dream pretty fucking quick. After that I wanted to be a musician. Then I came face to face with a corn field...

[peachycick321]

We did a time capsule at my elementary when I was 8 and we had to draw a picture and write about what we wanted to be. We still haven't opened the time capsules, so i haven't been able to see it since then...

I think I drew the queen of the universe.

[xriotx]

I wanted to be a veterinarian.

No man, devastating story. My parents got me tickets, but then I had too much work to go, so we gave them to some family friends. Plus I had already been to a concert of hers when she was here last, and it fucking rocked because we were at the very front and she acknowledged us (probably because we were being really loud and or annoying, but still). I heard from a couple friends who went that it was kinda lame because it was assigned seating...

Did you go?

Unfortunately, no. I did go to last year's though. (which was FAAAAABULOUS!)
But it sucks because Hayden was opening, and I love him.

Hahaha I wouldn't be surprised. I wasn't that far from the front either.

[immorehxcthanu]

I wanted to be an archeologist, I loved dinosaurs as a kid. Then I had a phase where I wanted to be a marine biologist. It wasn't until high school I decided I would go into psychology.

[Machu505]

Well, in kindergarten they made it seem like the only possible career choices were firefighter, police officer, and doctor. Naturally, I chose firefighter.

[Machu505]

I also would have loved to be a digimon.

[MarsEatWorld]

I wanted to be an architect for most of my childhood
Then, my parents kind of brainwashed me to "want to become a dentist"
Then, I wanted to be a CEO when I learned what that was in Stock Market class in 8th grade
Then, when my cousin was diagnosed with cancer in his stomach, I became interested in medicine. Oddly enough the doctor was my other cousins father in law so he totally drew out the surgery and stuff, explained to me the process etc. and I fell in love with the human body and stuff like that...
sooo now I want to be a cardiologist? maybe. yeah

I wanted to be a teacher, but now I hate kids. My best friend wanted to be a stripper, but now she just takes her clothes off for free. Some things never change.


I also wanted to be a vampire, a witch, a dolphin and then a scientist then a sign language teacher. Then my mother forced me into law where I then chose to major in business with a minor in communications/creative writing

"i wanna be" by bryan adams

I wanna be your t-shirt when it's wet - I wanna be the shower when you sweat
I gotta be the tattoo on your skin - yeah lemme be your bed baby - when you climb in
I wanna be the sheets when you sleep - let me be the secrets that you keep
I gotta be the spoon - ta stir your cream
I wanna be the one that really makes you scream

I wanna be - your lipstick when ya lick it
I wanna be - your high heels when ya kick it
I wanna be - your sweet love babe - ya when you make it
from your feet up to your hair - more than anything I swear
I wanna be - your underwear

I wanna be the itch that you scratch - wanna be the chair when you relax
I gotta be your razor when you shave
I wanna be the habit that really makes you crave

I wanna be - your hot tub - when you're dippin'
I wanna be - your bathrobe - when you're drippin'
I wanna be - your cocktail baby - when you're sippin'
I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear
I wanna be - your underwear

I wanna be your sleeping bag - baby slip inside
Let me be your motorcycle n' take you for a ride - alright

I wanna be - your hot sauce - ya when you're cookin'
I wanna be - your sunglasses - hey good lookin'
I wanna be - wanna be the one - you're stick your hook in
I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear
Oh ya I wanna be - your underwear

I could have been a sailor, could have been
a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book
I could have been a signpost, could have been
a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be
Here and now
I would be. I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have been your pillar, could have been
your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed
for more
I could have been your statue
Could have been your friend
A whole long lilfetime could have been the end
I could be yours so true
I would be. I should be through and through.
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have beena whistle, could have been
a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost, could have been
a clock
As simple as a kettle steady as a rock
I could even be here
I would be. I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
