Interestingly enough, the first thing I can remember I wanted to be was an artist. Then there were a few changes of mind, astronaut (every little boy's dream), actor, the usual. Now, I'm nearly terrified with the idea of actually visiting space, and I don't want the publicity of an actor... Plus I don't think I can act. So, well, that leaves an artist. And I would really like to be a 3d artist! So as weird as it is, the first thing I chose I wanted to be when I was like 4, is the thing I very well may end up being.
At one point in life I wanted to be a lego designer too! I'd still enjoy doing that, but Lego has taken a turn for the worse, and is too much like Mega Blocks and all the lame ripoff companies nowadays. Too many of their sets seem very generic and alot less intuitive and fun than they used to be. Too many smooth and shiny pieces for me. Gimme the classic little squares and rectangles and let me figure out how to make it smooth.
