Off Topic: What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

Very simple question — what did you want to be when you grew up? And did you achieve it? Are you in the process of achieving it, or did you take your life on a completely different tangent?

When I was a kid it changed constantly. For a long time I wanted to be a professional football player — but I was never anywhere close to good enough.

Then I wanted to be a pirate. Mostly because I spent a massive majority of my time playing and replaying Monkey Island.

And finally, by the time I became a weird, moody intense teenager I wanted to be a writer. I feel kinda lucky that I somehow managed to get there in some shape or form.

What about you guys and girls?
