Why not a full-blown Time Lord, Mel?

That's just it. Marry the Doctor, and have tons of kiddos!

But I do have pretty funny story about Griff.

When he was little, he always wanted to be Batman. Not just any superhero... just Batman. My mom asked him why once, and he said, matter-of-factly, "Because Batman didn't have any superpowers. He was just really rich and athletic!"

I didn't have anything I wished to be when I was little.

I just thought I'd grow up and be just like my Mum: married with lots of children.

*points at last post* Seabird, it looks like the Spellchecker found you.

That makes you sound like a very smart and practical child.

Oh, by the way...

There are three things I want to be. If I could be all three, that would be awesome, but I would settle for just one of them.

College English Professor
Bestselling Novelist
Movie Score Composer

I also want to write, compose, and produce my own songs, but I don't want to be a big country music star. I'll find a talented 'pretty-boy' singer if my band gets famous at all. He can be the face of it.

I've also wanted to design and build sports cars.

Getting paid ten cents for every post I leave on a writing forum would be nice as well, considering how much of my writing time I use up doing it. I could be a professional forum-member.

You didn't answer the question.

Come to think of it, I did often dream of being a princess. Also an awesome violinist, but those two things were merely dreams, not anything I actually wanted to be, if that makes sense.

Insane dreams aside, I'll probably end up like my mum - married with kids (hopefully 8) and not enough time to do anything serious art or writing-wise, but not caring a bit, rather, liking it a lot.

XD Just testing your IQ. . . JK. What do you think

smiley was about?

:P I pretty sure Cat knows this, but to make sure you do: I think having crushes on celebrities is some of the worse sort of dribble society has come up with. So, not serious at all. I don't think Ani was either.

I was talking within the goofy context of you growing up to be a Time Lord.

(Well, I have some friends ::cough::Aniese::cough:: who were joking around about which Doctor they'd marry, so I didn't know how seriously to take you.
xD)

Hey, do boys even think about how many kids they'd like when they grow up? *directs question to any man on the thread*

Yeah. I want lots. Boys and girls. Because there are so many cool names to give them so I need a lot of kids to name.

I've always wanted to have five, with a mixture of boys and girls. . . Hey, do boys even think about how many kids they'd like when they grow up? *directs question to any man on the thread*

Crush, what's your idea of "good-sized"?

I know how much fun it is being one of seven, I can't imagine how much fun you would have in a family of eleven.

Grr....

Darn spellcheck... *dies of embarrassment* See? I can't spell to save my life!!! >0<

BE. QUIET. SUIAUTHON. I WILL SEND VAMPIRE KITTIES TO STEAL ALL YOUR SMOOTHIES AND CUPCAKES!!! (don't mind me btw) BWAHAHAHAHA

Dear Seabird,

No reason to be embarrassed. It happens to the best of us. And that's why I'm here...to help everyone when they can't spell.

Sincerely,
Spellchecker

Grr....

Ditto again! The awesome violinist part sounded good, but not exactly the practice.

My friend asked me this question once. I first responded with what my goal is now, and it was relatively normal. But then he's like, "Well, yeah. But what did you want to do?" So, says I, "Well, I always wanted to be a mermaid." As it turns out, he always wanted to go to Mars and meet some aliens. So what do/did you guys want to be when you grow/grew up that was not the average, generic profession, or even a profession at all?

Want to be? Planet-shaker. Wanted to be? I don't know, maybe a LEGO designer or something. Though I still wouldn't mind that, if LEGO made all their stuff in Europe/America instead of having some of it in Mexico/China, etc. In fact, I know I'd have a blast. The little blocks still have a special place in my heart... EDIT: Being an epic hero like in my book ideas and such would be nice, too... God bless, Crushmaster.

Oi. That's a loaded question. I've wanted to be a lot of things and there are still many that I'd like to reach for if I weren't restricted by having to provide for the necessities of life Let's see. I've (realistically) wanted to be a... Chaplain/Marine Chef Fisherman/Sailor Composer/Musician Missionary Writer Basketball Coach Architect/Designer Director I've (slightly/extravagantly unrealistically) wanted to be a... Knight Pirate Superhero Currently, I'm pursuing health and writing though. Nutrition and Dietetics for the paycheck, Creative Writing for the investment. I'd still love to keep composing in my spare time, though, and it'd be amazing if I could eventually spend my life working overseas as a Missionary.

This reminds me of a certain little girl I heard about (from her mom) who can't decide whether she wants to be a missionary or a movie star. I, always the sensible one, have never had any unrealistic ideas about what I would be when I grew up. Boring, isn't it? In fact, I've only wanted to be two things: first, I wanted to be an artist, because that was apparently where my talent lay. I began art lessons when I was 5, and I "knew" from then on that I would be an artist. Then, when I was 9 or so, I realized that not only could I write something without crying, I could enjoy it. Note: Just because one enjoys something does not mean one is good at it. You see, I'm just too sensible and down to Earth. I must take my crazy ideas to the clouds, and keep them there. I always have, as far back as I can remember. There was a sort of understanding in even my most tender and young mind: I'm going to be an artist, so I can't be an Indian, but that's only true in this world. In those imaginary worlds I have been everything from an acrobat to the President, very unaware that I was doomed to become a writer.

Hehe, I always wanted to be an adventurer of some kind. Now that I've seen Doctor Who, I want to be a companion/assistant, and travel space and time, and fight aliens, and do an awful lot of running. XD But I'm planning on going to college for film production. (Which means I could potentially work on DW in the far-away future if I got a film job in Britain. xD) And yes, I'm older than most college students but I'm working first.

I used to want to be an Indian, preferably Crow. A boy Indian though, because who wants to be a squaw? Besides that... I wanted to work in a feedlot. Live in the middle of now where and only just survive. Be a spray pilot (actually that still sounds sort of interesting...) And much more. I remember once when I was supposed to tell what I wanted to be when I grew up so they could put it in the recital program or something, and all the other kids did things like: "swimmer and trainer, and movie star," and things like that, and I put: "Missionary or farmer's wife." Which, I still would really like to do - but it looked pretty stodgy next to theirs!

What I currently want to be is a world famous manga-ka. That's so not happening. XD But I have a back-up plan - I also want to be a dragon rider. Previous things in the past I've wanted to do include being a centaur (centaurs are awesome!), saving the world from evil (such as alien invasions, armies of orcs, or other such things), and being rescued from a dragon (or other similarly dangerous predicament) by a knight in shining armor. Insane dreams aside, I'll probably end up like my mum - married with kids (hopefully 8) and not enough time to do anything serious art or writing-wise, but not caring a bit, rather, liking it a lot.

I think I had always wanted to be a fairy for the longest time (I think until I was eight) and then I wanted to be an artist....And of course a princess seemed like a good idea too. Now I want to be a journalist, and that is what I'm aiming towards. being a nurse, or a veterinarian, or a veterinarian's assistant would be pretty cool as well. And of course, I would love to be a published author.
