What did you want to be / do when you grew up?

[abaris]

When growing up is such a wide field. I wanted to be an archeologist, studied history instead because I couldn't be arsed to learn greek, which is a requirement for archeology in my corner of the world. I also wanted to be an author, became a journalist instead. The interests stayed the same, only the reality changed.

I've never been into the classic boy dreams of what to become. Astronauts, well they fascinated me, since one of my first memories were the lunar landings. I was allowed to stay up for the very first time when Apollo 11 landed, but I never wanted to be one of them.
