I actually wanted to be an advertising copywriter, from the age of about 10.

Luckily, I ended up a journalist instead.

Anna, I want to make you a millionaire. You deserve it.

I wanted to be a burglar or a sociopath.

But, if you're an astronaut, you're looking at the Earth from the Moon asnd it's fabulous. Then your fucked up bowels rebel and you live with it in your suit for the next week... You eat a packet of space chicken and then you fart and it's there with you all the way to Venus, recirculating like you're a colonic lavage therapist in the first week of January... Oh no no no no.

Give me a neat twin set and hot towels to distribute. Sweet little hat. Can spill booze all over the disrepectful passengers. I'm Xoc, fly me.

You lot are rubbish.

I wanted to be...

b: A superhero. According to ME, my Grandfather was going to build a machine that would change us (Runce and I) into superheroes. Trustworthy friends were also invited

Yeah, me too!...saying I wanted to be a Particle Physicist/ Monk/Self-employed inventor is actually just a long way of saying I wanted to be Dr. Manhattan.

...and as soon as I finish this new coil assembly, I will be, damn it...

I wanted to be Merlyn from The Sword in the Stone. I subsequently went through wanting to be a novelist, academic, poet, academic again. However, I have recently realised that my original idea was the right one all along and I am therefore doing my best to attain this ideal. If anyone can tell me where I can buy an owl I shall be mightily obliged.

I'm feeling very drunk and fragile right now... so I fall back on my fantasy that if I go to sleep, I'll wake up as a little dog. It would be ace.

Why a little dog? Why not a big one?

I dunno. Little dogs are just nicer, somehow.

If I was gonna be a big anything, it'd be like a giant lizard or something, so I could smash buildings and all that.

But right now, I wanna be a little dog.

One thing I can really clearly remember wanting to be was a marine biologist...it was my stock response to 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' from the ages of five to twelve. I think I was a fan of the idea of doing lots of scuba diving, because I have never been particularly interested in marine life.

I wanted to be a milliner, until I realised how pish poor my sewing is. Certainly not good enough to make up a pattern to fit something vaguely round.

The other two were a gymnast and a hippy.
Hopefully Im hitting straight down the middle of the two.
