and i don't mean that in a good way.

i mean that you'd be find suspicious anything being done by a group of foreigners and take great pleasure in bothering them.

knox 01.21.2010 02:24 PM

also, you'd probably have a good time hassling stoners too.

EVOLghost 01.21.2010 02:25 PM

In elementary school, I quite honestly wanted to be an enlightened despot.

Derek 01.21.2010 05:23 PM

The only thing I wanted to be when I was younger was an animator. Then I got into music and wanted to be a musician... but my ideal realistic job now would be a teacher.

so pretentious.


at the age of 13, i did want to be a hermit crab and make alicia silverstone's vagina my home

chrome noise tape 01.21.2010 06:59 PM

i wanted to be a statue
now i want to be a sound

amerikangod 01.21.2010 08:12 PM

When I was really young I wanted to be a garbageman. Broke my mother's heart. Then for a day I wanted to be a toll booth operator because I thought they got to keep the money.

I grew up in Brooklyn. What the fuck do you want from me.

As of 30 seconds ago I want to be a hermit crab that lives in various attractive celebrity vaginas.

A sound that kills? Or just a regular one?

automatic bzooty 01.21.2010 08:27 PM

writer (many weird stages of this)

rock star

pilot (... for about two days, when i was twelve. after i got to fly a tiny plane for a few minutes.)

rock journalist (i'd seen almost famous too many times)

reclusive author

kerouac-like figure, roaming and pontificating 'n' shit

elementary school teacher

now, nothing really. the other day i told my mom i wanted to be "sauce boss." wha?

alteredcourse 01.21.2010 10:45 PM

before junior high, I made a pro/con list for marine biologist, novelist, and surgeon.

To tell you the truth...for the past few years at the back of my head I've always kept an interest in psych nursing. Not to take care of people one on one so much as being involved with mental trauma.

Lux Interior. I saw the Cramps in my 30s and was blown away to see a geezer who could climb around on shit and rock the chaos like that. I said outloud, "That's what I want to be when I grow up!"

I wanted to be a mutant that could look like any person, not real people, but invented people.

I wanted to be a school teacher and work with children at some point.

I wanted to be that person that squeezes blackheads for a living.
