So...Tell me....
 

What are your dreams? And not just personally, where do you want to go in the world and why? What do you feel makes you...YOU?!
Sure we have typical introductions, but this is a topic where you can prove everything that makes you who you are is unique! Open up and tell us something funny, cooky, odd, scary, interesting, or just flat out adoreable about yourself!

When i was 6 i saw a commerical about the wonders of italy. at the time my mother was busy with my brother and my father worked too much to pay attention to me. So! Determined as i was i went online and using my mother's credit card booked myself tickets to Avaino. the following week I conned my father's business associate who also lived in the house with us into taking me to the park infront of the airport. When he wasn't looking I TOOK A DASH FOR IT!
^_^ I managed to fly myself to Italy for a week before my MOTHER flew all the way out to get me. I thought she'd be FURIOUS leaving my baby brother home like that...but...when she found me (I'd been staying at the airport because I hadn't planned ahead to actual hotel booking) she laughed and took me out to tour the city.

We stayed for two more weeks.

Wow Nih... only you XD I could have never done that at 6 years old... that's amazingly clever XD

I basically have two dreams. My biggest dream is to become a doctor that people can depend on. I have my own health problems and have met my fair share of LESS than satisfactory health care professionals. It's ridiculous how many horrible doctors there are out there. I didn't know how sick I was until I was 16, but I've wanted to be a doctor since I was four years old. I wanted to be a surgeon... but because my hands shake and I can't stand for more than 5-10 minute, I had to realize that it just won't happen, so I have decided to go into endocrinology.

My next dream is to become fluent in Japanese. I am VERY passionate about Japan. I will be minoring in Japanese and going to Japan some time in 2009. I'm really excited but I'm afraid I'll be called a "gaijin," which is a lot like a derogatory term for "tourist." I know it'll happen though... haha. TT_TT I know enough Japanese to survive in Japan... just not well XD

Dreams... wow. Lots. I think first and foremost, I want to be able to make a living from something I love.... and if I can be widely recognised for that work, all the better I think.

I really want to visit NYC... the look and feel of the place just really appeals to me and it just seems to be my kind of place. <3

Another dream is just happiness. I don't want to be alone my whole life... I want to find someone who I just fit so perfectly with that it can't be put to words. Hehe.

*shrug*

Hehe. Yeah... I'm not pursuing love or happiness actively. I'm just doing things I enjoy and waiting for good things to happen. ^_^

Wow, Nih. Just...wow....

As most of you know, I aspire to be a doctor, one day. It's always something I've wanted to be, ever since I was...gee....7 years old. Saving people's lives and all that, though I do realize it's only a stall.

Another dream....IS TO ONE DAY RULE THE WORLD!!! Actually, I can settle with just ruling over a household. ^_^

uhm... something interesting.... *ponder*

oh! I've dyed my hair just about every color there is... annnd... I make cute buttons into hairclips? ^^;;; I cant go on a vacation without coming back with a scar ^___^ thats interesting.

aaand I aspire to be a pastry chef :D
love? Id rather not for a little while...

Favourite get away for me would have to be imagined as I've never had a proper vacation. XD
As stated above, I'd love to head off to NYC for dinner and a show. Best day ever.

My favorite getaway...is my imagination. ^^; I'm the guy who always daydreams in class, yet allowed to because I pass with flying colors.

I know EXACTLY what you mean when you say characters take on a personality all their own. It's actually quite amusing, since none of mine seem to get the personalities I originally wanted and intended for them to have, but that's the way it happens, I guess.

my favorite real life getaway was disneyland. I love just being a kid there and running around exited! But if I could have my pick, Id go to Japan and see the sights <3

Oh... before I wrote the whole New York thing. I was gonna write an empty room, where I can sing undisturbed. That seems more like what you two are talking about. ^^

You know one of these days you're going to have to send me an MP3 of your lovely voice Hefin! I've been wanting to hear you sing for a while.

._. I Can't remember the last time i went to a theme park. Wow...i really want to ride a roller coaster now.

I think my favorite trip was when I went to Los Angeles for AX (anime expo.) It was my first big trip completely by myself. I went there all the way from Michigan.

I will send you a clip just as soon as I get a good quality mic. :D Then you'll be top of my mailing list. Hell, I may even take a request. :P

^_~ K. don't forget now! I hear a lot about conventions but rarely attend them. Too many people. Do you have any pictures from Anime Expo? I'd love to see them. I know the last convention I bothered to look into was the Yaoi fest.
<_< I had to promise never to make my escort suffer like that again though. You should've seen him squirm!
Do you dress up for the conventions you go to?

My dreams are to get my stories published, move back to Germany (and stay there), and also.. I want to have a job as a surgeon. Kind of creepy, I know, I changed my mind over the past few weeks. Or maybe I'll be an author. Or an artist of Japanese manga. XD I dunno.
I've always wanted to travel Europe, too. :)

One of my dreams is to fly to japan someday, go to college for human anatomy, and die with a hot wife. :D But thats why dreams are dreams.. ^_^

my dreams...hmm..i got plenty but the first few that I really want to see happen is -- to get published. I mainly write fiction and poetry. I also write songs - i love singing but I don't know how to play any music so it's hard to actually get the beat that's in my head out into reality.

another is on a more emotional scale. it's to get over my fear of rejection. I'm a really hyperactive and friendly person. Easily makes friends and totally random but when it comes to romantic relationships i tend to have this fear of rejection which leads me not to tell the people i like that i like them. i know living like this isn't really living freely but i'm trying to get over it. I think this mainly happen due to being bullied by all the guys (except maybe 2 of them) in my class from 7th-8th grade. my cousin says i shouldn't let them affect me like that since it was a long time ago...but forgetting those 2 school years is even harder than spoken.

and onto a lighter note - my other dream is to go to scotland, ireland, venice, england, japan, cambodia, alaska, and australia. and lots of other places too ^-^.

PFFT. His voice? Why hear HIS voice, when you can hear....mine? ^____^ *grins proudly*

I would guess its our smexy british accents Fusu ;) perhaps I should create an mp3 of my voice sometime too ^__^

It's less the voice... more the singing. Pfft. Theatre noobs ftl.

I think not. >_>

My strongest suit as a person is that I am a powerful person of mind and of dreams. Anyone who is close to me knows that I am someone who can really change this world around us... for the better. My biggest dream is quite simply to be able to heard amongst the crowd because it seems like in our world today that we lack the idea of "common sense;" common sense isn't all that common. I see the injustices of this world and how so many suffer at another's expense that... I simply cannot take it sitting down.
Not that I look to the zodiac all that much, but I am probably what you would call a textbook aries; I am EXTREMELY passionate and emotional about everything and everyone that is in my life. Sometimes I feel like my emotions are a hinderence yet they one of the biggest things that makes me, me. My other biggest dream is about the girl of my dreams: Yuna. You saw that she posted earlier, that's her! ^^ She is one of my biggest heroes in my life and just by thinking of her I feel like I can reach out and become anything or even everything that I want to be. Her internal strength is such an inspiration to me that it's my dream to make her life as well our children's life the best it could possibly be; that people will not hear the words, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and ask, "What type of disease is that?" That a doctor won't look that patient in the eye and tell them that it's just all in their head. That when someone with the condition tries to reach for their child, they don't have to worry about their back as they try to lift them up to hold them. This is one of the biggest reasons I feel so strongly about medicine; I feel like it's one of the few ways I can help the person that I love and care about most.
I am interested in so many fields of knowledge that even with me being in college today, I still do not have the slightest idea of which way I want to take my future as a career. All I know is that I want to make a difference on this Earth so not only that patients won't suffer because of lack of empathy, but those who have no empathy from the injustice that they face in their life. That we can return to an age where politicians aren't seen as liars and scandalous individuals; that they are seen as visionaries and leaders which will guide us to become a greater civilization and better for mankind. This is what I am about, and that... is my dream.

LOL. You wouldn't be the first to give me a response like that. I believe that the common is boring but I never try overly hard to change the entire world. That just...isn't necessary. While i adore people with that sort of ambition i realize that my influence has the power to touch only those who desire it and focuse on changing the reality and perspectives i can find in my reach. The beauty of a creative and driven mind is flexibility while you cannot always depend on the masses to agree with or even be as capable of it. In the sort time that I've known you all i've come to love and respect each and every one of you as a piece of rare image of diversity. To draw inspiration from any one of you in turn is a huge honor and probably why i consider you all family in addition to my own. Hearing your dreams makes me appreciate how fragile but resilient your company tends to be. While i don't believe there is anything wrong with the world merely the ideas being presented and embraced by it, I understand that the theme of injustice and a thirst for empathy and knowledge is just another reason to see the beauty of the lives and personal views granted to us that help to enrich the lives we have. I encourage you all to strive for the dreams you've shared with us and continue to push to be that oustanding voice that the world hasn't heard in a long time.

Tell me about your funniest moment or memory! ^_^

Oh my. Funniest moment or memory. I have to say this one.

A long time ago, at a school knowledge bowl meet, a friend convinced me and my best friend to go hit on random guys. ^_^

So, all day long we were just flirting with guys and we were getting the funniest looks. This one guy even sensed that we were just messing with them and he started playing along with us. The whole thing was just HILARIOUS.

My dream is too Control my dreams! i know it sounds wierd but Lucid dreaming is cool :3

>_< My goodness! Ok well atleast I can now give you points for uniqueness...

My dreams eh? Well, I suppose it would to contribute something lasting to the world. Something that will endure past the end of my life, something that leaves the world a little different than when I came in. And there are so many ways to do this, create a great masterpiece of music, lead a great revolution, start a family, invent something, the list goes on and on.

Granted I'm not entirely capable of these things, although I have a few goals I'm shooting for. As an Anthropology student the holy grail of my field is uncovering a lost city (or the actual Holy Grail of course) and I happen to be aware that there are a few Mayan urban centers that are still unaccounted for in the Yucatan. Still, this is quite a fanciful notion and a long shot, but aim high, ne?

My slightly more realistic notion is to become a novelist and add some great work of literature to the world, something would endure past it's initial popularity and become a classic. Perhaps even reaching the highest literary level a novel can achieve, a book a generation or two of high-schoolers bitch and moan about having to read for English class ^^.

To boil it all down, I want to add something to the world that wasn't there before, whether it be a book, some new knowledge, or discovering some old knowledge that's been forgotten over the years. Maybe even throw another kid onto the planet while i'm at it, or at least raise one.

As said, aim high.

It may sound strange, but I want to be a Manga Artist. Theres a Major Roadblock though, I can't draw worth a Shitaken

Being a manga artist is hard work! Lol but well worth it. A friend of mine publishes manga and manwha as well and even though he complains a lot...^^ Secretly i know he loves his job. So I encourage you to go! go! go! You'll have a blast!

Lakot I have yet to get sneak peeks of your work. We're going to have to change that don't you think? :P

^_~ And thanks for the compliment, hood! And going green is a huge trend nowadays so I'm sure your dreams are a lot closer than you'd think.

Dreams, eh?
I would like to eventually travel the world. I think I've gotten onto a good start, but I want to get to the more exotic of places... including Antarctica and places like that.
I'd also like to do it with money from doing something I love and not be stuck in a crap job... I just have to figure out what job that might be, since I can't ever seem settle on anything.

To be honest I don't have a big dream. However I do want to visit Ireland. And I'd love to go to Europe and visit some museums. I used to want to be a photographer for National Geographic or a truck driver for similar travel reasons. But I love being at home and it would probably drive me crazy to be constantly on the move like that.

I am the smartest of three children and the oldest I work to make others happy and I will work to enjoy the things I love. (I also love my iPhone, but my grammer she suffers)

Ughhh now I have to start singing lucid dreams bugger...:pnkykulo:
