    When I've drank too much, I act out the then.

    Nice. I wanted to be your baby-daddy. And I still do.

    I wanted to be a comedian. So I became one. But eventually I realized I couldn't do it professionally and live where I live, so I hung it up and got a real (office) job. Good times though.

    I wanted to work in an office. God I was a boring kid.

    When I was little I wanted to be an Accountant (super boring too)...then a Criminologist.

    Now I'm a Property Manager.

    An Accountant?! Did you enjoy numbers?

    I wanted to be a psychologist, hairstylist, and a flight attendant. Didn't have the grades for a psychologist, the height for a flight attendant, but I did become a hairstylist. Now I am a stay at home mommy and I do hair for friends and family.

    When I was very young, I wanted to be a vet. Then, I developed an allergy to cats.

    Writing has always been my thing, but I never saw it as a career so I grew up not really having a plan, and just working on developing the skills that interested me, such as web design and media alongside my writing.

    I did a media-related degree, specialising in research, thinking that would be my career. I planned to keep web design and writing as my hobbies. Three years on, I'm a writer. My web design skills are helping my career, and the thing I did a degree in is now my hobby! It's perfect this way, so I'm glad it worked out as it did.

    That was a damned lie. That baby WAS mine.

    I wanted to be an astronaut (for me) or maybe an artist (to make my mom proud).

    Now I'm a database manager who still reads a lot of science fiction. Mostly I've given up painting, though.
