Where do you see yourself twenty years from now?
 
Living where?
Family?
Career?
Hobbies?
Accomplishments?

As for me, all I know is I'll be somewhere still trying to talk Stevie out of that same damned dress.

Dare I ask...

...and into??? :laugh:

Well, as Stevie's next backup singer, I'll be living in Los Angeles, telling her to NOT listen to you.

And Stevie's intelligent response will be that she does not need love-life advice from yet another ex-Mrs. Fleetwood.

And if Stevie were smart, she wouldn't be taking fashion advice from someone who wears sunglasses on top of his head at 8 pm, indoors, at a Fleetwood Mac concert :laugh:

She IS smart. She's not the one who had to take classes at a school on 295 just because it was the only building in the tri-state area that was fully equipped with padded walls AND a tomato-free lunch menu.:)

Well, she's been smart thus far...in not answering the constant telephone calls in the middle of the night from a Houston area code...and those occassional knocks on her door on the weekends and days off when you fly out to Phoenix and Los Angeles and pound on her door yelling, "YOUR MAN IN THE DARKLINENSUIT IS HERE!"

Padded walls? Jake, I went to high school, not Ancora (the insane asylum)...lol

Tip:
(And not from MY experience)
When your daily scholastic activities consist of electric shock therapy and sort-the-ink-blots, it ain't no high school. They lied to you's.:nod:

Tell me lies...tell me sweet little lies...

You know, I had always wondered why if they insisted upon my wearing a uniform, I never got to wear one of those cute school girl skirts and instead I was in a white jumpsuit ;)

Were you aware that stalking is against the law in all 50 states? And were you also aware that Arizona and California are part of that 50? :wavey:

Yes, I'm aware that even your state is one of the fifty.:rolleyes:

And weren't you suspicious that your white uniform had your sleeves stiched to your back?

Janet 02-13-2004 01:56 AM

Private thread I see. Well I will answer anyway even though I have no part in this! LOL.

Anyway,

I hopefully will have a steady job, a husband, a child, and some acting and singing somewhere.

I also hope to have all my X Files dvd's and maybe to have had Lindsey's love child!

LOL...no, this is what we call Jake and Marissa being...well...Jake and Marissa. Usually that entails potshots at one another and snark all around. It's a good time...I highly reccomend it :nod:

I'll babysit if I can watch the DVD collection :D

DrummerDeanna 02-13-2004 08:23 AM

Hmm...in twenty years I will hopefully be working on my doctorate!! Then, I would like to teach on the college level...

I hope to have a family..ya know..husband and lots of doggies...as of now I'm in the "NO KIDS" boat lol..but I'm young...so who knows....

GypsySorcerer 02-13-2004 11:46 AM

Maybe by then I will have convinced myself to get a doctorate and will be teaching somewhere.

If not, I hope to be in the public relations or publishing field.

And married hopefully, with 2-3 little urchins. If I'm still with the same guy I am now, and we are still in a "non-committed committed relationship," I will shoot myself.:laugh:

DeeGeMe 02-13-2004 02:06 PM

Re: Where do you see yourself twenty years from now?
 
Living where?
By the ocean.

Family?
I'd like to be with an amazing man who will be okay with my career and it's crazy demands and will accept me for who I am without trying to change everything about me.

Career?
I'd like to be doing exactly what I'm doing know--only making lots more money!

Hobbies?
Movies, music, and books have been my passions for nearly as long as I can remember-I don't see it changing 100 years from now!

Accomplishments?
You mean besides writing that best-selling novel which I personally adapted for the screen and won an Academy Award for?

You can have my part in this thread, and cheap.

I think if Lindsey's wife doesn't end your love child dream, Christy will.

xdreamsunwindx 02-13-2004 03:23 PM

Hmmm...

Living where? ANYWHERE but here. I'm thinking New York or something.
Family? Eh. If I find the right guy, maybe I'll get married, but I do not want kids. I just... don't. Of course, I'll always have a few cats around :).
Career? My dream job is to be a writer for Rolling Stone, or to work for a classic rock radio station. I'd like to do something involving music, like singing, producing, etc... But I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Hobbies? They'll probably the same ones that I have now, like singing, writing, buying too much junk off of ebay (or whatever they'll have 20 years from now), etc.
Accomplishments? Getting one of the jobs that I mentioned would be a major accomplishment for me. And of course, I'd like to have a little more money... lol.

As soon as Debbie is home it will more-than-likely be my turn for a lengthy hospital stay :(

How is she doing? Okay? I really hope so, you guys deserve a good Valentine's Day together.

I hear ya about sore throats. I've had a polyp removed and it was not pleasant in the least. :laugh:

Debbie's doing great...She should be home at the beginning of March (She as been hospitalized since Dec.29th) and I cannot wait...She looks very healthy!!!

I wished it was something as simple as a polyp, But it may be something far worse (It may be esophagal cancer or a esophagal cyst. I choke daily when I eat and I am in physical pain constantly...Now the pain is starting to be rather discomforting in the back of my neck leading to some major headaches...Feel like I have been headbanging too often like in my ol' days :laugh: )

Since Debbie's insurance is through her employer it would cost too much to cover me on her policy (eg-$300-$400 a month...Her current hospital bill is in excess of over $100,000) but my new future employer (It sure as HELL not Wal-#$%^&*-Mart!!!) has a great health insurance policy...And that is all I am looking for.

littlelies7 02-13-2004 10:53 PM

Let's see...
 
Living where?

Either in a beautiful Victorian in San Francisco, or residing in the city of musicians: Austin, Texas

Family?

Of course, a husband! Maybe a child, but I don't think so.

Career?

A bestselling novelist! That, or a studio musician or an animator, or an art historian.

Hobbies

Traveling all over the place, going to the shows at the theatre, going to art exhibits, art collecting, enjoying music, going to charity balls, and reading lots of books!

Accomplishments?

Helped with many charites
Entertained the world with my prose (or songs, or cartoons)
Lived a wonderful life
And still married the same man

~~

I am a hopeless dreamer with all that... but there's still hope for it happening!

God bless! :wavey:

Nothing wrong with dreaming.

I loved living in Austin for 5+ years.

I regret not taking more art history classes back in the day. I might take more still. I think the older you get, the more important adding that kind of beauty to your life becomes.

Living where?

*Either out west somewhere or in New York.

Family?

*Kids are cute....when they're someone elses. As far as a husband? I'd rather live with someone than tie the knot.

Career?

*I'd truly love to sing backup, work in commercials doing jingles, writing lyrics...and If I have to then i'll be a broadcast journalist.

Hobbies

*TRAVEL. A lot. :nod:

Accomplishments?

*lived a full life...did everything I wanted to do as far as my career is concerned...laughed and loved....and whatever else in between.

I think you can add "annoyed people" to "whatever else in between."

Writing jingles? Yeah, I can see you doing the Quiznos songs.

Well, yeah, I guess that could be my problem--I want too much! I'm one of those really annoying people who refuses to settle.

But I've already made some progress on reaching my goals--I'm in the process of buying a vacation place-oceanview condo--it's not oceanfront--but it's close enough for me! I only live 70 miles from the coast anyway--so I think I'll get to spend a good deal of time there eventually so the dream of living by the ocean isn't so far-fetched after all.

And I already get paid to write for a living--and I get paid more than I ever thought possible--it's just not fiction. But hey, that's a dream right there--to get paid and get paid well, for what you love to do.

The toughie is the romance part. I work impossibly long hours, and often 7 days a week. It just does not leave me with enough time or energy to do much of anything else.

Maybe one day I'll finally be able to put it all together. I'll probably be too old then to appreciate it though. . . .
