As a kid, what did you want to be?

Because all children believe they're gonna take over the world, ya know? So, what did you want to be when you were a kid?

Personally, I wanted to become many things. At five, I wanted to grow up so that I could drink a lot of beer. At 7, I wanted to have a three story house and 100 cats. At 9, I wanted to be a rock star and try a bunch of drugs. At 11, I wanted to become a stripper. My dad was really supporting of all my ideas. I still laugh about that. 

I mean, kudos on me because I did fullfil that first dream of mine, right? Only I can't really drink a lot of beer anymore because my entire body feels like it's burning up from the inside, so I gotta stick with booze or wine these days.

Just about everything at some point or another :lol:  But in the best order i can remember em it goes something like this:

Soldier, boxer, writer, rockstar, guitar player, rapper, gangster...fuckin name it, I probably wanted to it be it, I was a proper little dickhead as a kid :lol:  As opposed to the big dickhead I am today.

Here's me with Jack Horner in the summer of '97 after he did a Q&A at the Natural History Museum (part of promo for The Lost World: Jurassic Park):

I wanted to be a rodeo cowboy.  I also really loved Where The Red Ferns Grow and wanted to get some dogs and hunt racoons like in the book.  So I guess I was picturing being a homesteader who toured Rodeos pat of the year?

When my parents made clear we could not afford a horse, I briefly switched focus to being a rodeo clown :lol:

I remember my first day at the ATC. I got sent on a mission to ask the 'sarge' for a left handed screw driver. Enough said.

I'd've loved to do all that, chocks away ginger!  Fighting the enemy and that!  COME 'EAD YOU FOOKIN' GERMAN SLAGS, I'LL DO THE LOT OF YA!!! :lol:

I remember the salute. You are meant to do it to the eyes, 'longest way up/fastest way down''. I went and did it plonk on my head - that provoked some ribaldry. I remember the chap in charge had a picture of the Queen on his wall.

LOL that's kinda a throw back drink isn't it?? my aunt ( who thinking back was in her cups quite a bit ) drank those for a while. i remember her talking my mom into one telling her they were mixed so well you couldn't even tell there was alcohol in :D

my mom was so not a drinker. maybe wine once in a while.

ok on topic....from the time i can remember i wanted to be QUEEN. not a princess, just straight to QUEEN. maybe channeling my distant relative, my 13th great aunt Queen Anne Boleyn :wub:

You do realise that you will have your own cavalry and foot? I'm sure they will be filled with far more attractive chaps than Rose. In fact this is what I fear: you will end up fancying all your own entourage.
