Design your dream life...
 

This is a meme going around a bit on facebook, and I thought we could have some fun with it here. Design your own future including...

1. Job
2. City
3. Car
4. Husband/Wife
5. Pet

(and of course, include pictures!)

Husband/Wife (we crazy bisexuals can never quite make up our mind, so I'm going with both)-

hmmm.. interesting..lets see....
1. Job- something useful, that pays enough for the bills etc.I don't need millions.
2. City- preferably a small one, a few 1000 or maybe not at all. A desert island..Yes
3. Car- unessesary on an island, but a 1940's american Ford pickup would be my ideal.Green.
4. Husband/Wife- do I need one of them? Just a boyfriend then.I'm not sure I really want one of them either....ask me in another couple of years.( I could however get used to looking at Adam Lambert every day)
Why am I still on the Ledge, when my musical interests have shifted slightly?????? Haha.
5. Pet- now this, I know! A dog. Blue merle Australian sheepdog.

1. Job: critically acclaimed novelist, poet and prose writer who somehow manages to publish works that are both artistically credible and universally appreciated.


2. City: Paris. I used to live there every summer and I'd do anything to go back. Or maybe London... or San Francisco. Or LA. But probably Paris.

3. Car:

Possibly a new Aston Martin. Tough question.

4. Husband/Wife

My English teacher from last year. Or Lindsey if anger management was in check. Mmmmmm. I have a slightly unhealthy obsession for only men 20+ years older than me...

5. Pet: This horse. He's in the $200,000+ range and I used to work for his old trainer so I got paid to ride him until he was sold. That's the one bad thing about working in the horse industry as an amateur-- you get to ride and show the nicest horses EVER but you don't get association credit (which is important) and they all leave sometime :(

1. Job- I'll be getting into education. Realistically, I think I'd like to eventually get into administration, and maybe even be a university president. They do verrrry well! In a dream world, it might be cool to be a rock star- record albums and tour!
2. City- possible in a beachy community in Florida.
3. Car- We had a Porsche Boxster before it got totaled (not by me). It was a gorgeous car- but honestly, I will never buy a new car because of the depreciation factor and how for the same price as a new Honda Accord, you could be rolling around in a 3 or 4 year old BMW 525
4. Husband/Wife-I want my wife to be someone who I greatly respect as a person and who makes me feel completely at ease- that I can be entirely myself is important to me. Someone who I am just very very much attracted to all the way around.
5. Pet- Probably a dog or so, and definitely an absolutely perfect cat like our new Greta!

1. Job I'm working my dream job but to make things *really* dreamy, I would be in private practice and seeing private pay clients only.

2. City Any New England area or coastal city, for that matter. This is a picture of the area on Long island where I grew up.

3. Car Eh, not really concerned about that. I have a Jeep and I like it. I bought it almost brand new, straight out of graduate school. But really, as long as it runs well, has a/c and gets decent gas mileage I am happy.
4. Husband/Wife Got it- second time is a charm!

5. Pet I've always had big dogs and I've secretly kind of yearned for a little dog I could carry around in my purse and name "Chloe" or something similar. I've also thought it would be cool to have a goat.

I think your dream life is the best so far, Jannie. Just far away enough that you have to imagine it, but sweet and attainable at the same time. I love it :woohoo:

Oh, I love this- thank you. As an aside, it took me forEVER to get where I am and I never stop appreciating that it all came together.

oh...was this meant to be a serious question??? On reflection, I can theoretically see that a gay guy, stranded on an island with a mad woman, her hairy dog and a Ford pickup ( which is useless because there wouldn't be any roads to drive on) might not actually work....hmmm. I mean, what would he do all day, while I was out beach combing...???? In which case I can only base my future, ( which starts any moment now) on what I have at present. So..

1. got a job ( it's useful)
2 live in a town ( too small for being a city)
3 car...yep (but not green)
4 husband..yep,( but only on paper) do I want another one? thats debatable
5 pet? do 3 fox cubs at the bottom of the garden count??

the only question that might actually come true is no.5, thats obtainable one day(and probably from an animal shelter, rather than a pedigreed one)
