Here's a fun topic for you all:

What did you want to be when you grew up? Think back to when you were 6 or 7.

I couldn't decide between a fighter pilot, because they were really cool and I could be like Amelia Earhart, but even MORE AWESOME, or a lawyer because you got to argue AND make a ton of dough while doing it.

What about you, denizens of the forums?

I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle, because I thought being a mutant turtle was cool...>>

But when I realized I couldn't be that, I wanted to be a dancer.
Which I still kind of do, because dancing has always been something that entertained me.

XD A Sailor Scout.

Seriously though, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However, I back then I thought it was just basically pet babysitting. lol. I didn't know I would have to be slicing animals open and stuff. When I learned that I was WAY too squeamish for that, I instantly changed my mind. X3

soundninja12 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2010, 03:06:59 pm »

I wanted to be a cowboy.
Not a cowgirl, because I hated that term. Still do xP
(I still call 'actresses' 'actors', 'dudedets' 'dudes', and 'cowgirls' 'cowboys')

AND @AMY:
That is so inconceivably win~

I wanted to be a Sailor Scout, and a space pirate, and a ballerina, and a figure skater, and a cook and a fashion designer~

Oddly enough, I'mma go to college for Costume Design, which I have learned is much more rewarding than fashion because that is a horrible, horrible, dog-eat-dog world and I do not wish to be a part of it.

Now I wanna work at WETA Workshops * 3*

makichan · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2010, 04:17:30 pm »

On a serious note, I'm pretty sure that I wanted to be an artist or a veterinarian. Specifically one that works with a lot of cats. x3

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2010, 05:17:20 pm »

Teacher
Singer
Astronomer
Artist

It was always one of those, but I think I was the most serious about becoming an Astronomer. However, then I learned Astronomers need to be good at Math and Physics... which ended my dream there. Then I started thinking about teaching, but also about art... and thought maybe an art teacher... then art and art became bigger in my life, so I will now be trying to major in Art and minor in Writing. Though recently I have been thinking of getting a second minor in some type of theater. What can I say, I love the arts. xD

I was Batman, my mom got me the iron-on for my sweatshirt to prove. WHo I really wanted to be was Roger Ramjet, so I kept eating my neighbors succelents because they looked like his Proton Energy Pills.

And for that reason you probably won't ever see Roger Ramjet. Not good to have your super heroes on speed.

When I was REALLY Little I wanted to be A CareBear!! LOL but when I was in middle school I wanted to be a teacher probably High school or an artist because i started to draw. Now I am studying Business. going into either Advertisement, Business Management or Marketing.

A pokemon trainer.

After that a architect. After that a video game designer. I tried and hated it. I dont got the patience for that crap. ( maybe I just have a cheesy program)

After that a manga-ka.

I wish I'd been delusioned.

Instead, I was sad that I didn't get to be a wizard. Then I went off and played Harry Potter with my other nerdy friends.

Oh, third grade. How I miss thee.

Teasel · « **Reply #33 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:18:12 pm »

Now that I think about it, I wanted to be a Digimon Tamer when I was a kid too.

(As much as I loved Pokemon, you could actually have a conversation with your digimon partner.)

I remember pretending to be a Digidestined (back when it was only the first generation).
And before that, I was an ol' skool Pokemon trainer (I joined a junior league at 9... as the only girl member lol) 9,9

I for one wanted Pumpkinmon to be my partner.

Well when I was 4 I wanted to be a dentist. Don't ask.

Then I wanted to be a bounty hunter. Thank you Cowboy bebop.

I actually have this book I recently found that six year old me wrote, it says:
"When I grow up I want to be either an actress or an artist.
Why I want to be those things:
I would want to be an actor because my mom thinks I'm a good actor. Sometimes I get my mom to believe some things are true but sometimes they're not."

(Awww, even six year old me knows the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.)

Added bonus: (this made me laugh and go 'wtf?' at the same time.)

"My personality:
I am very smart but sometimes I forget to do some things and I get into trouble a lot and sometimes I zoom off into the clouds."
