What is you want to be when you grew up?

Almost exactly what Bones does, except less on the forensic side, more on the boring, boxes of incomplete skeletons side. I've actually met Kathy Reichs (the real Bones) once. The dead bodies thing doesn't really affect you when its only skeletons (although I have had a dead man's brain plop out of his skull while trying to clean his bones-- we use a crockpot with Dawn and water for skulls--it wasn't pleasant). You just have to be very careful about respecting the remains. You become so detached fro the fact that the bones actually belonged to a living, breathing human being at one time.

I wanted to be a stage dancer with those pop stars

I adore them!

I What not to Wear, I'd die for Stacy's job, it seems like so much fun. I like messing around with clothes.

A fashion designer is what I've always wanted to be too. Doubt it'll happen, but it's fun to dream.

I've also done a few forensic cases for the state, as the crime lab in Arkansas is not equipped to handle skeletal remains. I can't wait to get back into it full time. Right now, I just get into the bone lab once every other month or so to keep my skills fresh.

Yep! We have our own "Bones"!

Me? I wanted to be rich, famous, and married to a hunk. Sigh - 3 strikes and you're out...

Did want to work in a botanical laboratory or similar...

I wanted to be a vet tech growing up.
Went to school for it and ended up pregnant w/Justice and had to drop out... I also wanted to be a choreographer.. I love to dance (as the construction guys next door now know : ) but never made that either. So now I'm in accounting... how exciting

I have always wanted to be an architect. My father often reminds me that when I was a young girl, around 6yrs, i would always ask him how buildings were built, who designed them and informed him that my buildings were going to be the best in the world

I wanted to be a lawyer, and did until I was 16 and spent a few weeks working at a law firm, I changed my mind and decided on politics as a degree, then I worked in Parliament as a researcher for a bit and loved it, but still have to find something concrete to do with that degree here

I always said my dream job was to be Dopey at Disney World or the Hershey Kiss at Hershey Park -but in reality I'm a health care professional in geriatrics-

I wanted to be a Fly dancer (hope someone knows what that is).
I loved to dance!!! my first grade teacher called my mom and asked her exactly what that was. I loved dancing when I was younger. I hit about 8 or 9 and I got chubby. I felt very selfconcious and I really didnt lose the weight or grow out of that awkward stage till I was 16. I gave up that dream..for a while after that I wanted to be a meterologist...then a detective....kind of went through a lot of things.

Now that Im 22 and take care of myself inside and out I've learned to be comfortable in my skin. So dancing is back on...only out at clubs and bars that is. You can catch me in my black heels out on the dance floor or on top of the bar giving you my sexy moves to "Buttons" or anything I can shake my booty too! Thats me!

I started with being interested in archaeology, even did some dig sites through some local groups and it was alright, but I wanted to find mommies and such, not dig around in old outhouse holes *YUCK*

Then around 9, I wanted to become a lawyer and member of parliament (main lawyer inspiration was Matlock LOL ) until 6 months before I graduated highschool when I tutored a group of ESL students and then my heart was set on becoming a teacher. I am currently starting my second year of education.
