I always wanted to do number 1, and am now considering number 9.

You could do a combination of 2, 6 and 7?

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

I think that is probably where I am headed, most realistically. Academia is total craziness though.

10. Start band and take over world with fabulous costumes!

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

I always thought 9 was a great idea. But not sure about the ending up a dumb blonde minger though (I am not sure blondes for everyone) Finding someone is the problem!

yep! so far i've found that finding someone

1. rich enough
2. bearable
3. who likes me

has been a bit of a no-goer though =(
(and I don't quite have the chassis to be upholstered like Anna Nicole ^_^)

love to uncle rob by the way! hope your bunnies get well too

Yes and the problem with being depenant on someone for money always seems a hassle unlee you get them to give some money of your own or bumb them off. If not all your hard work (grooming) can be lost in a single tiff.

Ta about the bunnies. Will send Rob your regards, hes in a good mood as mechanic has declared his latest car purchase 'not a death trap'
