Old question, new answer?

When I graduated, we were asked to write for the yearbook where we thought we'd be in 10 years. I wrote that I'd either be in rehab or dead. I have high hopes.  They didn't put my answer in the yearbook.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I still don't have any idea.

Yet another 10 years hence? One of my sisters reminded me of the time I exclaimed that life after 25 is not worth persuing. Mh, can't remember saying *that.* According to my memory I stipulated 30. Nevermind, in another 10 years' time I'll probably have been the corpse with many many interesting diseases to first year medical students at their first real autopsy. Or shark bait.

Hmmm... do you want the good-days answer, or the bad-days answer?  I'll give you both, because I'm sleepy.  So ha.

On good days, I figure that in 10 years I'll have somehow pulled enough luck to be making something close to a living out of writing, supplimenting with a bit of odd work if-and-when I need to.

On bad days, I figure that in 10 years I'll be a pathetic shell of a no-one working a deadend job, and unhappily going nowhere in particular.  Oh, and probably an alcoholic, since that's an almost-common problem in my family, and by then I'll have given up hope anyway, so why not be a boozer to kill time?

On average days (those rare creatures)?  I figure that in 10 years I'll have worked my way up to being a crew foreman at the company where I'm currently employed.  And from time to time I'll be pulling in a bit of extra cash from having some small somethingorothers published.

And.  Uhm.  Sleep now.

You must have a small school because our yearbook didn't even ask that question to every student.

Only about 5 students out of 141 were asked.

The most we got to do is put our favorite quote (limited characters) into the yearbook.

since i just woke up so my day hasn't had time to suck yet, i'm being optimistic in my answer--

in 10 years, i'll be 30, closing in on 31, and hopefully i'll be A) married, B) a mother, and C)employed as a producer. now whether i'm a radio production guru or a budding record producer remains to be seen. both paths seem fascinating and fulfilling. i'm already doing the radio production thing, and i have my eye one a sound engineering training program for this summer. anyone have any other tips on how to get into that kinda stuff?

oO Soon I'll be thirty... I don't wanna be thirty.. Oo

I'll be in my 30s in 10 years

*sigh* I've got 8.. or I will have 8 years soon. What sucks about being 30 is then you're a 'real' adult, where as at 20 you aren't.. well, you are, but not as much as 30.

I felt old when I was walking somewhere with my little 2nd cousin (she was like 2 at the time) and someone said how adorable my daughter was. But what is kinda funny is someone said to her mother, my cousin, once "oh. I didn't know you were Sarah's mother." My cousin's only about 10 years older than me. Sarah

Either lonely and bitter with a lot of cats, or happy and fulfilled with a lot of cats.  Meow.

...let alone ten.

I'd like to do all the standard things. Find love, maybe have a kid (31 is young enough though that that's up in the air) enjoy whatever the hell I'm doing for work.

I wouldn't mind having something or other published. A book would be great, just getting a litmag to take something of mine is more realistic though ;)

I'd like some contentment, but I don't want to have my life planned out at that point.

Oh, and if we're throwing reality to the wind. I'd also like to learn something of music and have a CD/tour or two under my belt.

All that and a robot army.

Actually, I think I'd trade most of that for a robot army.

Talcott's Killbot factory.

You almost have to make killer robots now... just for the *sound* of Talcott's Killbot Factory.

Actually, I think that's a REALLY good band name!!!!

I'd love to have a life where I can travel. One thing I would hate to see myself doing in 10 years is being in a job that allows no freedom and is the same thing every day. I'd love to have kids. I'd love to be able to work from home so I can stay at home with my (future) kids. My mom was a stay-at-home mom and I feel like I got so much out of that. I'd love to be able to give my children the same benefits I had growing up. But no matter what, music has to be a big part of my life. Sarah
