1. What college do you want to go to? Eh. . . considering that I don't yet know what I want to do, I really can't say. My parents and two of my grandparents went to Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, so I'm prejudiced toward that, but that college is rather infamous, and a degree from it would not especially help a professional carreer.

2. What would be your ideal job? I still don't know what I want to do. A pediatrician, surgeon, writer, poet, mom, librarian, worker at an assisted living home, teacher, work in childcare. . . . ah, too many things.

3. Do you want to get married someday? Preferably.

4. Do you ever want to have kids? If/when I'm married. And lots. Lots and lots. :D

5. What kinds of pets do you want when you are older? My ideal life would be on a ranch. Horses, a goat, dogs, a few cats, miniature donkeys, chickens, ducks, small children. :)

6. Do you hope to still be friends with the friends you have now when you're older? I deliberately maintain contact with several of my close friends who have moved for that purpose. 

7. Is there anything special you want to do when you're an adult? Be a mother, a godly mother. Be a person who changes a world for God, even if it's only her own world, her sphere of influence. Expand that sphere, perhaps by literature, to show the earth the only Story that really matters.

8. What kinds of things do you wish will exist/could exist in the future? I would love to see space become inhabitable, and at a reasonable price. Aside from that, private, extremely efficient jetpacks would be nice. :D

 

Cheers,

1. I really want to go to a Catholic college, but I don't know which one.  

2. An author, preschool teacher, or marine biologist.  I have had those three ideas in my head since I was six.  

3. Yes!

4. Only IF/WHEN I'm married.  But, yes, I do!!!

5. Just cats.  That's it.  I have a dog, and I really can't stand dogs!  If I do get a dog, I would want a little cute one.  

6. I don't really care.  Not sure.  Not in the best friend situation right now.

7. Just be a Mom.  And I want to right a life-changing story!!  Maybe to help people through tough times.  Maybe to be a journalist and tell the TRUTH about things!  

8. Hmm, no idea!!!  Maybe for things to be cheaper.  Everything is so expensive now.

What college do you want to go to? I'd like to go to Dordt College in northwestern Iowa. Of course, first I have to figure out what I actually want to study there...

 

What would be your ideal job? Something to do with theater, maybe a children's theater director. Or a college theater director. And I'd like to be a homeschooling Christian mom. Oh, and have an in-home business of restoring doll hair (I'm already pretty good at it, but I'm bad about getting people to remember to pay me for it.) And I could do the weave/net/web thing on hair that no one seems to know how to do, but I do and it's really not that hard. I could do it on little girls for special occasions...*talks too much again

 

Do you want to get married someday? Obviously, if I'd like to be a mom.

 

Do you ever want to have kids? Yes. That would be wonderful. About five?

 

What kinds of pets do you want when you get older? Cats. I would love to have two cats (preferably who get along). And a reasonably-sized aquarium would be cool, but I want someone else to clean it. 

 

Do you hope to still be friends with the friends you have now when you're older? I'd like to remain in contact with my friends T and M, yes.

 

Is there anything special you want to do when you're an adult? Hmm, get over my fear of driving? Actually, I might have to get over it sooner than that... And improve my telekinetic powers, of course.

 

What kinds of things do you wish will exist/could exist in the future? In would be interesting if someone actually did invent something that could travel faster than the speed of light. ...I'm blanking all of a sudden...

 

Has anyone read Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix? It's one of those cool books about time travel and things that go faster than the speed of light.

Oh my gosh! I LOVED Found! I tried to pace myself, but I ended up finishing it in like 3 days. It gets sort of obvious towards the end, what is going to happen I mean, but it is really good at the other parts. In the beginning, I thought they were going to go into an alternate dimension, instead of time travel, but it was still good. I guess an alternate dimension would be sort of hard to write about... :).

 Of course. :)

8. What kind of things do you wish could exist / will exist in the future?

 Oh, gosh, I really don't know. If you mean technology, I really don't have any idea.

Foof, this is a tough one.  Good, but tough.

 

1. What college do you want to go to?

I'm... not really sure yet. 

2. What would be your ideal job? 

Well, I have several.  I want to write, and in fact, I do now, quite often.  I want to design wedding gowns, and clothes for girls in between teen and kid, because as everyone knows, it's very hard being stuck in between.  I want to do art, though I'm really not that great at it...  I want to arrange flowers as a VERY part time job.  Really, I could go on for a while. 

3. Do you want to get married some day?

I think so, but I'm not really sure, since I've never even had a real crush yet. 

4. Do you ever want to have kids?

If I get married, I'm almost sure I would like to have kids.  Hey, maybe even if I don't get married I'll adopt.  (you can do that single, right?)  :P 

5. What kind of pets do you want when you are older?

I don't know.  Cats, most likely, but you never know, my opinion might change completely and I might become a dog person.  (bleh)  *gags at thought*  absolutely no offense to dog people, I have nothing against you, just your dogs.  Although, some dogs are really nice, and once in a VERY long while, are actually kinda cute.... 

Oh, and I like birds and fish too. 

6. Do you hope to still be friends with the friends you have now when you're older?

Of course.  That's like in movies when someone says, I like you, but I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with you.  Weird.  Why bother hanging out at all, if you don't want to be friends in the future!!!!  I mean, sure, we all lose some of our friends eventually, but planning ahead to is a little odd.

7. Is there anything special you want to do when you're an adult?

 I want to help the world. 

8. What kind of things do you wish could exist / will exist in the future? 

I like your idea for hover boards, though I don't get your reference, I was picturing Back to the Future II.  (I love those movies!!!  Although Biff creeps me out.  Especially in that one, in the alternate future... *shudder*)  (I made a reference to them just today, actually!!  We were listening to the radio, and someone mentioned a movie with Clint Eastwood in it, and I said to my brother, I don't really know what he actually looks like, I always picture Michael J Fox, because of the third movie!!!  *laughs*  This will make no sense what-so-ever to those of you who haven't seen these) *sorry for getting off on random stuffs*

World Peace.

About a million other things I can't even begin to name, because my mind is a huge blank. 

Thanks for the awesomeness.  Wish I was as sure of myself as you are.  :)

Ooh, I like this kind of thing!

 

What college do you want to go to?  I have no clue whatsoever.  Give me a couple more years on that one.

 

What would be your ideal job?  I have a couple ideas, like librarian, dolphin trainer, actress, et cetera.  What I'd really like to be, though, is a middle or high school chorus teacher.  Or, if not a chorus teacher, a language arts teacher.

 

Do you want to get married some day?  Yes.

 

Do you ever want to have kids?  Yes, at least two, maybe more.  I might adopt - or not.  Who knows.

 

What kind of pets do you want when you are older?  Well, lots, first of all. Let's see...definitely cats and a bird...I also foster the notion of living on a ranch or farm, with all sorts of animals. A cow, donkey, chickens, goats, plus my cats and bird.

 

Do you hope to still be friends with the friends you have now when you're older?  Maybe not all of them, but certainly my special, close friends.

 

Is there anything special you want to do when you're an adult?  I also want to foster kittens and cats, because I can't do it now.  I would like to have some of my writing published, and go on several mission trips to Africa and South America.  I want to travel Europe and make a difference in people's lives, and I also want to act in at least one play.

 

What kind of things do you wish could exist / will exist in the future?  Hmm...a way for humans to fly without a lot of aide.
