what did you want to be when you were a kid

[jerome]

i guess iwanted to be stereotpyicapl stuff when i was kid. doctor, vet, actually to be honest i never really had a thought about it when iwas a kid. i just wanted to have good grades, close friends, and play for fun hella well. i never really thought about it that much as a kid. you guys?

I thought everything would work out. I'd still have good grades, I'd go to school, do all the stereotypical high school shit, get a good job. I really thought everything would just be okay. But then I hit 13 and it pretty much went downhill from there. I wish I was 8 again. Actually, ever since my surgery I kinda changed, when I was 10. Mannnnnnnnnn

[jerome]

what surgery did you get?
n' yeah isn't it funny when we were kids we thought everythign would happen in a methodological order.

Heart surgery, I forget what was fixed but I'm left with a bicuspid aortic valve and pectus excavatum so I have TITS OF STEEL

[jerome]

omg no way golluml that's pretty intense dude!

[Gollumkip]

I have an intense scar to prove it across my back. (Pectus excavatum caused problems in cutting there I guess). Hydro saw it when I was with her. It's like across my entire left shoulder blade.

I actually wanted to be a DEA agent for a while. Hey, I grew up in a super drugs-are-bad environment. Then I discovered Totse, and erowid, and got educated.

I wanted to be a professional skateboarder

A Mech-Suit Pilot.... And honestly, that's never really changed. If I have my way and become the ultra rich tycoon I know I can be, you'll be seeing giant mechanized robots in the near future, compliments of yours truly.

I wanted to be a marine biologist for ages, I think it was because I had this stuffed animal dolphin as a kid that I took everywhere. Then I wanted to be an architect, but after actually doing that for a bit (well, being a draftsman for an architectural firm) I realized I didn't like it much and that we represent architects in some pretty weird/unrealistic ways in books and movies and stuff.

would you fuck a dolphin?

[Lanny]

No. I would post dolphin porn on a mormon discussion board though.

Honestly, I didn't want to be anything. So far, so good.

In second grade we did this sort of project thing where we colored on notecards and answered some question about ourselves on each one.  One says that when I grow up I want to be a scientist, and has a picture of me smiling in a lab coat next to a table full of test tubes and vaguely science-y objects.  Pretty sure I just picked that because we had to pick something though.  As a kid I was more interested in playing than thinking about the future.
