Future jobs.

What do you guys want to be when  you grow up?? I want to work for NASA in the area of Astro-physics, or be a scientist for the human-genome project. And, of course, and author, but who doesn't?? I also sometimes fantasize about working for the circus :D:D:D as a clown or trapeze artist, or one of those ladies that dances on the backs of running horses :D:D:D Anyhoo, I was wondering what you guys want to do when you grow up.

Anyway, I think I want to be an editor (like for books).  Like you've probably noticed, I'm pretty terrible at doing good grammar/sentence structure/etc. while I'm writing, but I have the most wonderful (and simple) time picking out other people's mistakes! :):) I always seem to find at least four or five grammarical errors in books I read (even ones for school!). :):) Quite fun!!  And, if I'm not an editor, I'll be an author, but I'd probably do that either way! :D

Forgive me, but that's hillarious cause it's spelled chock full, not chalk full.... Misspelling in a rant against misspelling.... Ok, I'm sorry. I'll quit now. :D

Haha, don't feel bad, Laura!! :) One time, Emily (L.) pointed out that, when I was saying how easy it was to make the stupidest spelling mistake, I spelled 'stupidest' wrong!!! :):):):):)

Lol. Oh dear. No, Emily, I wasn't ranting, just pointing. :) You wouldn't believe how much I misspell. Of course, since coming on here, I've been getting WAY better... but still. I would be a mess without spellcheck!!!! I just misspelled misspell!!!! ARG!!!

Oh, and with 'chock full' I've only ever heard it, so I didn't know how to spell it, and spelled it the obvious way anyone who's never seen or heard it spelled would spell it, and even then I figured it was wrong, but didn't have the faintest clue what was right. :)

If any of that makes any sense what-so-ever! :)

:):):) I'm a really bad speller when I write by hand, but I'm fine when I'm on the computer (unless I'm typing quickly, because then I don't notice my mistakes). :)

Heh, yah. I'm much worse by hand... if that's possible. :)

Oooh, I'd edit it!! :):) But you'd somehow have to get it to me, and since you don't know my address, that would be an issue... Hmmm...

I definitely want to be a bestselling author. :)

Tee hee. :D Well, I think I might want to be an author. And maybe an artist, too, because I like to draw and paint. I used to want to be a singer or an actress or something "famous" like that. XD But I quickly decided that I'm too stage-shy for that. I don't know *shrugs*. My current options are author, artist, (or, if I get over stage-shyness *doubts*) singer, or actress. XD Time will tell...

Yikes. I have like 10 different things I want to be. Author. Artist. Actress. Paleontologist. Creationist Debater. Cryptozoologist. Inventor. Food taste tester(just kidding!). I can't decide!!!!!!

When I was really little I wanted to be a mommy, but also an artist and paleontologist. At one point I wanted to run something like a Children's Museum. As you can see, I have a lot of interests. =D
