Childhood Fantasy

[0scar Wilde/ATT]

We're doing a pretty good job taking over Eliminate a Country. And ruler of the World.

I wanted to own a really great library. Redwood, gold, gilt, moulding, big leather reading chairs. A library I could, and would live in.

[Bletheropolis: the cat sleeps]

methinks a library is less about the furniture and more about the books in said library

[0scar Wilde/ATT]

I wanted to read Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' in one sitting to a paying audience, while riding a unicycle, on a highwire, while drunk.

[Bletheropolis: the cat sleeps]

cool!

[0scar Wilde/ATT]

I also wanted to read the dictionary cover to cover, and tell everybody, just so I could make up words and people would assume that they were real words.

[Bletheropolis: the cat sleeps]

okay now I have to kill you.
I always wanted to kill an arrogant smart-ass showoff.

[MinnaCaroline]

I wanted to be used book store owner that had a little cafe upstairs and live in Washington State.

[Bletheropolis: the cat sleeps]

I wanted to roam the world a la Indiana Jones and bring back ancient books, instead of treasure.

[0scar Wilde/ATT]

I collect old books. I don't know if it was a dream or not, but I like it.

[Three Prongs]

I wanted to be a super hero, but that dream faded as I steped into puberty

[Echolilia]

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone - I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone.

[Woonsocket]

I always wanted to move to Australia and be a farmer

[Echolilia]

I wanted to be a computer programmer.

[Anartonia]

I wanted to be an astronaut. I still want to be an astronaut, but realistically I know I won't.
