Yeah, that's right .. What do you want to be when you grow up? .. Lily Tomlin once said .. "I always wanted to be somebody .. perhaps I should have been more specific"

Me? ... I want to be the rapper .. "Iffy Scent"

I mean .. I want to be a rapper that designs websites .. (*he says, trying to justify having created the thread in the wrong forum*) ... music will just be a part time thing, you know, in between java script


I'd like to give a shout out to mah homies .. an' I wait heyah fo yo raply

chill

Hehehehehe.

I don't think you are stupid either..

Hmmmm... Who gets to wear the shirt?????

You notice he let the hair comment slide by, too.......

I wanna be a Consul when I grow up..... now I just need to grow up.

I also wouldn't mind being a published novelist, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. I have had a few poems and one short story published, though.

that's it Emily, throw in a note of sanity

OMG you mean there IS someone sane here.. lol

Well, apparently, but maybe someone put her up to it....

Who would have done that..

Wasn't me

I love insanity...

I love insanity too, in fact ...

I'm just crazy 'bout that stuff !

You know I had to, it was just laying there, waiting to be picked up

Like walking past a public phone booth & the phone rings,

You gotta answer it !

True.. So true..

What ever woudl we do without public phones..

Cool. Can I be in Iffy Scent's posse?

*goes and dusts his bling off and then takes a seat outside the phone booth, to wait on the call*

hmmm ever seen the movie phone booth... LOL... better be careful when you answer it.. LOL

You just keep on waiting there, Les ....I'm sure Iffy Scent himself'll be calling real soon....
And right after, Ed McMahon with your million dollar sweepstakes winnings...

Lmao!!!!! :D *takes on dramatic tone*.... "I am going to be.... a Librarian!!!!!!" (I love helping people and I love books) ^_^

Sounds good to me ! The last time I saw a cool librarian she met Brendan Fraser so I'm all for it if that's how it works out !

'K, I think I have waited long enough ... changed my mind and I now want to be in Alex's posse of the extra-ordinarily cool Book Gurlz.

*goes off to wait for a reply in the stacks and reread some classics*

Now, where is that copy of Dr.Seus's "Green Eggs and Ham?"

I wanna be President so that I can spend$100,000 on a toilet seat, or maybe the Pope...cuz that pope-mobile kicks ass...or as a favorite bumper sticker once said:
I want to be Barbie, that bitch gets everything!

I dont want to be grown up as I always want to be continually learning. I don't want to ever be sophisticated. I will always have some little girl in me. I like it like that!!

Nice to see I am not the only one who doesn't want to grow up.. I will never let go of the child in me..

I always aspired to be handsome, witty and generous to everyone when I got older. Only problem is that now I have nothing to work towards...

;-)

Oh dear.. How did you get older when I didn't?? There is always something to learn and work towards.

What a coincindence ! I always wanted to handsome witty & generous too !

Instead I got stuck with gorgeous, charming, & extremely witty

You forgot modest...

Yes, sorry about that, thanks Sam for bringing it up. I also escort little old ladies across the street & am always prepared

It's all a very great load but I was given these burdens for a reason, so I bravely & cheerfully soldier on

Do you have brown eyes?

Seriously Kim ? My eyes are so dark a brown you can't see the iris ....on my D.L. it says " brown " cuz black sounds goofy

Why ? Do you ?

Edit - DUH ! ( it's now almost midnight ) I get it ! It took me 12 hours, but I get it now, my husband says the same thing !

Wow!! Eye color.. Mine are Hazel Green

Damn, when youve just woken up, reading through a new thread that keifer's been involved in is so potent you have to wonder that the government hasnt been cracking down on its use and preventing small children from acsessing the site... actually disregard my last. I did mention that I just woke up didnt I?

I think you did. but that's ok.. I'll forgive you this time..

I want to be a glow-worm

What's holding you back?

LOL

I think he already is..

rotflmao

Granted ... except your batteries expired and now your just a worm

WHAT? .. huh? .. (*reads topic title*) ... oh .. wrong thread

N.E.V.A.R.M.Y.N.D.

'K, I think I have waited long enough ... once again ... changed my mind ... once again ... and I now am forming my own posse ... the N.W.A. ... Nerdz With Attitude.

Watch out for me and my crew ... you don't want to cross this bunch. Armed and slightly near-sighted ... passersby could get hurt by a stray protractor.

Ya ... we're crazeeeee ...

Change is good........ maybe........

Crazy is fun........ sometimes.....

Careful..... Every day is Be Nice To Grannies Day..

Put that thing back in your pocket and go do your homework..

Lololol.

Ann, you are my "Gracie." And I certainly mean that in the Tutu-est way :) . Consider it a yin/yang thingy, and you get the choice of either yin or yang.

Ok, back into the pocket it goes ... annndd ...

... somewhat coincidentally (tip of the hat to Kim), I had enjoyed my Psych classes and profs so much in university, that I seriously contemplated pursuing psychiatry.

Ok, go ahead ... I know the inner child in you is just biting it's tongue ...

The truth is out Les, we're all grist for the thesis mill

Well, at least make sure you spell our names right, okey doke ?

Done.

You are all under the postulate that good people come to those that search out wallpapers on the net. 'Cept, maybe that guy with the spinning/tilted rainbow thingy ... he looks like trouble.

I agree, gotta watch that dude

I think he's got that twirley thing-y there because he was thwarted as a child from achieving his true dream ....

Of becoming a World Class Baton Twirler in the Super Bowl Half Time Show

you know Les, there's still time for next year

Uhhh ... oh goody??

Hehehehe..

Dreams can come true !

Lololol ... ahh, you loveable little word imp.

And of course, I mean that in the 'let's go purchase some firearms and shoot up some tree stumps, kind of way.'

Soooo ... Andrew, save me the trouble if you already have posted the answer and share with us how your keen intent and focus on tasks has aided you in narrowing your life career choices that will last many, many thousands and thousands of laborious hours and draining you mentally, emotionally, and psychically ... until you are but a skeleton of your former self, exhausted and constantly despondent over the turn your life took that one fateful day ... care to repeat?

Did you want to be a clown, hiding behind the tears and facade of pain? Maybe? Perhaps?

Me, I wanted to be a garbage man, oops, person ... just imagine, outside work and lots of free stuff for the taking.

No, he wanted to be a woman of power, ( G.M. ) but was born the wrong sex, that or he wanted to work with clowns, eh, Andrew ? ( ARF ! )

And as for you Les, didja ever see the movie starring CharlieSheen & Emilio Estevez where they played garbage - persons ? I believe they found a dead body for free

That kind of stuff ?

( P.S. You know I'm teasing you Andrew, )

Someone has to clean up. The pay is good..

*continues from before*

A glow-worm's never glum

Do glow-worms gleam in gloomy gullets ?

LOL First off..don't get me started again on the "Women Problems" secondly...I hate clowns! LOL

This question implies that there is a point in adulthood when one is grown up. Then they would know all of the important things. It is like asking isnt' therea point when one knows the right road to choose? There will always be forks in the road. We should never grow up as life is a continious series of questions to be answered. I am not at the end of my growth. I dont think I will ever be grown Up until I die. If you are not growing, you are dying. Yet we label the stages of life and use language that implies that at adulthood there is no more growth. We have child hood and adolescence that covers about 25 years. We have adulthood with covers about 85 years. That doesnt make sense. I have been single, married, divorced, single and then re-married. I have been non risk taking and very risk taking. I have valued status, power and recognition and then my heroes became ordinary people who survived extraordinary things and not stars. I have then devalaued stateus, power and recognition. I drive a used Honda, I used to drive a BMW.. All these phrases and stages have been part of growing up.I fear ever thinking I am grown up as it might reflect stagnation or lack of growth. I have the simple need and desire to recapture the simple joys of childhood. Perhaps its all that work with children I have done. I retain an appreciation of a sunset and pine trees..Does that make me retro grown up? Or is it cool and called voluntary simplicity? I fear that being mature and grown up means staying in a destructive environment for the benefits or material gains rather than using my talents fully. I have a friend who has always worked the same job. She says it is a sign of maturity. Boring! I want to stretch myself and meet new challenges. I want to create and not regurgitate. I dont want to have all the answers. I want to re-evaluate and re-organize myself as I continue this journey. I want to know that ther could be a new vocation when I get older or I could take Tae Kwon Do at 60. Or study monkeys or learn the hottest dance step, or have wild passionate sex in an elevator at 70. I dont want to ever stop growing because that would be the day I die!!

I always wanted to be a lawyer to see what it was like to be hated by absolutely everyone.

no, to be hated by absolutely everyone, you want to be a traffic warden.

Or a bill collector for the I.R.S.

I would like to be a politician and do it for free and try to convince the people I am really trying to help them. Problem is the government won't let you do it for free for fear it would make you honest.

Add dentist to that list.

If it wasn't for the fact that I get to pick my own lollipop (grape flavour, rocks n rulez!), I probably would not be able to get over the feelings of guilt from my apparent 'lack of a proper oral hygiene regimen' and the accompanying pain after each visit.

Me? ... Formula 1 driver. Vroooom vrooooom.

I wanna be that kooky old woman down the street who's lots of fun and makes great cookies 8•P

Oh, when you moving into the hood Cat?

Just watch out for the neighbour that lives across from me. Get this ... he actually goes to bed at a decent hour so he's fully rested for the next day's work. He's whacko, I tell ya.

I think I have @ least another 40 yrs before I qualify as "old". 8•P

I came home and took a 4 hour nap. that makes MUCH more sense to me than goin to bed @ 9 or 10 pm!

Naps? ... and how long did you say till you're old ...

betcha you're not as flexible as you once were .. oh yeah? .. prove it!

Camera at the ready ... ;)

prove it? ok… c'mere 8•P

To be admired from afar.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get back into my hazardous protective gear. If only, if only ... they could make these things ... fingernail tear resistant. Makes it diificult when I am typing away on my new Spruce Goose keyboard.

I see yer new keyboard has two i's. Can it c?

I want to be a manicurist and I would also sell hazardous protective gear in my shop.
