For some reason, my head wasn't screwed on right for a good many years. So you imply that your head is screwed on right now, in the present?

Oh I just remembered something. When I was a child, I also wanted to ... you know, learn how to stuff animals(not the "toys" but real animals). ;D I was kinda really obsessed with them as a kid and practically wanted to decorate my walls with them. Oh right... it's called a "taxidermist" and oh yes, there was the time when I wanted to become a mortician or what do you call... the kinda people who cut up dead bodies? Oh yes, coroner! ;D Basically, I wanted to become someone who got to cut up human bodies. Whether by legal or illegal means. ;D For some reason, my head wasn't screwed on right for a good many years. My mom and dad had a taxidermy business when I was a baby. And my first girlfriend went on to become a mortician. She worked at my grandfather's funeral.

Beyond the usual childish stuff, writer has been pretty much it. Well, unless you count philosopher, I guess. That's not exactly a profession though. (I know this post is kinda old, sorry) Well ACTUALLY, being a philosopher is a profession. It's not man-in-barrell or bedsheet-dressed-stair-sitter anymore but philosophers get still employed as such in certain fields. That it is called "Business Philosphy" is not an accident for example. Some big companies (usually very big) employ philosophy students to review the personal value of their advertisement etc. Philosophers also get employed at big publishers for schoolbooks - to check if the language is accessable and can't be misinterpreted by the students. But most philosophystudents end up in journalism or become authors, which is the reason why I want to study it

Thanks for bringing this back kitty, I see I never answered. I used to want to be a singer and have my own band. I remember as a child always pretending I had my own band and I would have my cousin and friends be in my band. I also for a short time wanted to be a police officer but I got over wanting to be that kind of quick because even though I was young I realized how dangerous it could be.

I thought you were born one..........or not.

^ Pretty much. 'Philosopher' is not the same thing as having a degree in philosophy.

When I was a pup: A police officer. When I was a teen: A shoot wrestler.
I have now accomplished both.
