Okay, dreams. Mine. Dreams, as in, goals, aspirations, ambitions, whatever you want to call them. Things/events/feelings that I have at one time wanted so badly I thought it was my destiny. Or Future. Or hazy vision in the never-happening picture. You get the idea. Obviously I would have way to many of these to remember or recount here on this blog, so we'll stick with the top...10? We'll see how many I can think of that are worth mentioning...if any are :D
1. Secretary. This is what I wanted to be for the longest time! (I was like...8 or 9) I had no clue what secretary's actually had to do, of course, but I had the most fun sitting at my tiny desk, with my broken phone, snatching it up on the first 'ring' (there was no sound) and using my business-like voice to announce the Godiva agency...whatever that was. I think I knew it was a chocolate brand...*shrug*. Many happy days/hours were spent in this endless activity.
2. Detective. I think I still secretly have a dream to be a detective. I love mysteries, I love being the one who finds the answer, and, honestly? I love the trench coat with hat and sunglasses. Not that that's what detectives wear...
Yes, I studied in the detective book. I had my bag of tools, complete with magnifying glass and map..rope (sadly no handcuffs) and a newspaper. (to hide behind while stalking a suspect, of course!) I read all the Trixie Belden books. I was so jealous of her! She had a best friend who lived next door, who was also a millionaire (so convenient), a secret club, Jim, (I was SO in love with him...lol) and she had all these exciting adventures!!! I tell ya, it was the life any 13-year-old could wish for. ;)
3. Dancer. I worked very hard at dance for a few years. I didn't actually start taking classes until 4th grade, but I always felt like I was good at it. I thought I would go to college, major in dance, get into a big company, be cool like that. I've rather given up on this dream. It makes me really sad, sometimes, but I just don't think I want to do it. Not that I couldn't. It would just be a LOT of work, since I haven't worked that hard at it the past couple of years...I still love dance a lot! But the need to dance just isn't there anymore...:'(
4. Actor. Still dreaming about this one. Sometimes I do get the chance to act, but it isn't very often. Right now I'm mostly thinking about theater as a career, but I haven't decided. I guess the ability to make people believe you are something that you are not, to make the character come to life in a new way for people, is just SO thrilling, and nothing can beat it. I haven't exactly accomplished this thrilling thing yet, but I want to. Really bad. I just..haven't had the role yet. I mean, the biggest role I've had was Juliet,(which was huge, really) and I was 14. I didn't have a clue how to act!
5. Singer. I've always wondered how much better of a singer I would be with voice lessons. As a child I didn't have them, because I was told it was bad to start training so young. I do not believe this. Maybe it isn't the best sound when you are a child, but when ya get older, boy, does the sound come out nice! Okay, so I can sing, right? But I never feel like I'm doing it right. Maybe everyone feels that way.
6. To be able to do the splits...still haven't gotten this one..not the splay kind, anyway. I can do front splits easy-peasy. But splay? Nope. That one hurts. :( I made a new years resolution to stretch every day for 15 minutes for the splits...that lasted 3 days. Oh well. There's still 11 months in the year. I've got time. I think.
7. Hmm..I'm running out of dreams...lets go back to childhood...what did I want to be..? An artist! aHA! Bob Ross. He was one cool dude. I watched his show, then tried to imitate. With interesting results. I soon discovered that painting was not my calling. (Did I ever mention that I was/am not the most patient person when it comes to self improvement? Yeah. That's me.) I still like painting sometimes, but I'm no way going to make a career out of it or anything. No genius potential here.
8. Forensic Pathologist. Ew, gross, why? Yes I know those are most peoples reactions, but, believe it or not, I think this career is really cool! It sortof goes with the whole detective thing, and I loved biology. However...it takes like...13 years of college and school and internships before you can actually start working! And it expensive! And I do NOT like chemistry...and I don't think I could be a doctor...this dream is most likely on the no-can-do list. Oh well. :) I still think it's interesting!
9. Writer. I've never really written a story. I've had some ideas, but I've never took the initiative to actually sit and write them. I usually get one page done, and don't move on. What do they call that? Writers Block? Not sure that's what I have..maybe I just lack ambition or talent or time...probably a combination. :)
10. Last dream...Go to college! Yes. I am working on this one very hard. I'm not worried about getting into college at all, but I do worry about going to the RIGHT college. Still trying to figure that out. I just don't know what I want to DO yet!!!
Well...I've had lots of other random dreams. Wish I could think of them, because some of these aren't that great, but..well, it's a piece of me. :) They are not in order at all... oh well. You get the idea of how diverse my interests are!
