When I was a wee'un, artist.  Then, writer.  Then, clinical psychologist (I got that idea into my head at 13).  Now, at 21, I'm hoping to be an LMHC (similar to clinical psychologist, but less glorious) who eventually publishes some stuff on the side.

when i was very young, i had a tough time choosing between being a missionary nun or a stripper.  don't ask me where the fuck i got the second idea from, cos i had a very sheltered upbringing (made up for it since, though.   :eyebrows: )

as you can imagine, the latter option went down very indeed at my catholic school.

No no, i want to be one of those aspies who is the guy who actually runs the show behind closed doors, i.e the person who holds all the real power. The only probable Aspie that is head of state that I know of is President Kim of North Korea, and I dont particuarly want to run a nation his way.

Amen to that.  I have a fairly political job now (I work in government), and you really can't do anything productive without compromising your moral principals.  Pretty much everyone in my workgroup feels the same way, so we live on the edge of burnout.  It sucks.  I'm hoping that with in a year or two my husband's company grows enough that I can quit and pursue music as a career.

You know I just wanted to be Me in the end.

Same, I fucking change my mind too much.   I never know what I really want to do in life, because it could always change.   

I don't even know what it means to grow up anymore.

lol at being a prostitute and married Janicka, sure that would work out well for you.

I would be too good at being a hermit.  Being alone forever would mean I would pretty much be in a dreamland 24/7 anyways, with nothing else to entertain me but my own mind.   Good way to go totally insane.

My brother wants to be a politician or a lobbyist (pre-law graduating this semester at FSU).   He is very social and great at lying and manipulating.

Sounds ok to me then.   I was referring to be totally out of touch with the world, no way of getting news via the internet.   No socializing over the net either, total and complete hermit.   The way you explain it sounds more like a shut in but on a different planet to me (can't blame you there I guess).     Getting to Mars takes will take way too long sadly (better not plan on it this lifetime).  Just need to find someplace where you can do drugs all the damn time imo.   Easy enough to stay away from people, well not for me recently.   I would sleep a crapload if I was a hermit, fucking hibernate even if I had some entertainment and drugs to enjoy.
