Anything where I get to be creative, but I'm not stuck doing the same thing all day every day. Maybe a writer or something, where I'd have to go out and explore things to write about.

I like the profession I'm currently in, although there are many ways in which it's not ideal. I'd prefer something with more security. I think it would also be nice to do something more creative. Maybe being a pastry chef. I think it might also be fun to act in movies.

Something that has to do with plants, outdoor gardening -- convenient to where I live and where I can wear anything I want. Preferably part-time or half-day. I have always detested being confined indoors in bland, beige office cubicles.

Kindred Spirit Books
Mirror Friends Booksellers
etc.

Well, when I was kid, I wanted to be a scientist, but it turned out that I had no head for math (back then). Then I wanted to be a writer, but I lack self-discipline and am basically lazy. I guess my ideal profession now would "proofreader", or maybe "reader" for a publishing company. I love to read and it irks me terribly when I see words misused by people with far more education than I have.

Hah! There is a store in Norfolk, VA called Kindred Spirit. They're a store selling Wiccan and Pagan supplies. I have been in there a couple of times.

My ideal profession would be to make music. Although I am a songwriter/singer/musician in my free time, I would love to be able to make a living off of being a recording artist, so that I could focus on it more. I am interested in a ridiculous variety of different professions, but music would be number one if I had to pick only one. I think about it like this: If I were to die right now, what would be the one thing (career-wise) that I would regret having never done? The answer would be recording and sharing my songs, because those exact same songs that I wrote can never be written again by anyone else on the planet. They would be lost forever.

I wanted for years as growing up and becomeing a professional baseball players wife. That is so weird to me. If a pro baseball player asked me to marry him, there is a chance that I would be there now.
