I wonder if anyone on AN ever thought of creating a Facemash, gain notoriety for it, then go on to create a network for people to socialise, upload photos and play games.  Then expand to the whole country and eventually to the whole world.  And then become the world's youngest billionaire.

I think it would be a pretty thing to do as a living.

I thought becoming a priest was a good idea back then.
It still is, since they're (in a sense), financially secure.
Plus, the robes did look awesome.  :D

When i was young I thought the only kind of jobs possible were
Firefighter
nurse/doc
police officer
teacher

So I was very dissatisfied with my options. Actually very mad. Also, my house colour at school was topaz...similar to yellow, someone also got me believing that my car had to be yellow.AGAIN i was so mad b/c the only yellow cars are taxis and they are ugly as heck! So you see, it was very difficult for me to be happy with the options life gave me, so I never wanted to do anything.

But then when I was ten, I used to read horse novels so I wanted to become a jockey..get my licence at 16 or something and win Melbourne cup sometime when I was still young.

yeah.
