When I was little, I wanted to be a vet. I gradually transitioned to wanting to design video games and then spent a lot of time unsure of what I wanted to do. I picked up one of my mother's old university books and fell in love with Philosophy and with that I discovered the joys of Psychology. My decision was also influenced by my step-father who has his doctorate in Psychology, he is often one for small talk but once he becomes really involved in a conversation he is absolutely brilliant. It was one conversation that I had with him that really convinced me and I have not really strayed from that path since.
If we are talking about what subjects I love, then that would have to be as follows: History, Philosophy, Physics, Biology and Commerce would all be subjects that I would like to pursue a profession in. (Obviously some more than others)

Just like everyone else I wanted to become a vet but it takes 11 years (in england anyway) thats two more than a doctor. As of now I'm unsure of what I want to do, I'm volunteering at a wildlife rescue centre once a week. They take in wildlife that has been injured and care for them until they can be released. We deal with foxes, badgers, birds, squirrels, pretty much anything. If anyone want to have a look they have a youtube channel where you can see the rescues.

I've just always wanted to be a writer. I did spend a while wanting to be a librarian, but that was only because I didn't think I could ever make it as a writer. Now, though, I'm just diving into writing.
Realistically, though, I know writing probably won't pay the bills. I'm not sure what kind of job I'd get to make ends meet, but I've been considering being a child psychologist or working in the foster care system. I want to help kids, and I find psychology interesting.
Of course, at times I just wish I could be a hermit on some desert island for the rest of my life. XD

There is this trail at my cottage that I absolutely adore, the footpath is covered in moss and there is a little stream that wraps around the location leading into the swamp on either side. After maybe 5 minutes of walking this footpath opens up into a little pond that features quite a bit of wildlife. The pond itself is covered with bull rushes on the opposite side from the footpath but there is also a little clearing that leads up to thick woodland.
I would say that is my ideal, I also like pine tree forests with all the dead needles on the ground. Especially if you can see in between the rows of trees for a great distance.

I've always felt at home with Ranches. I've been to my Aunts little ranch a few times, in the country the air smells just amazing. She had a really windy road bordered by a lot of trees, once you got to her house 3 dogs came and "welcomed" you, we took one of her 4 seat buggies out and drove it around the ranch with the dogs following, as you drove hundreds of grasshoppers would jump out from the grassland I took the wheel and drove around some of the small lakes, and picked up dust on the road testing its speed. Its an amazing place, plenty of tress and rich grassland, absolutely beautiful.

Mountains. I love being surrounded by mountains. I was born in a valley, and to this day it's one of my favorite places in the world. I love knowing which direction I'm going just by looking at the mountains. And they're so gorgeous, in every season. I used to live in a place with mountains. Though I love where I live now, if I could pick one thing to change about it, I'd add mountains. (Or get a better school system... hard choice.)
I also like dry places, though that's mostly just cause humidity does terrible things to my hair.

I had a creek near my house that used to be a place to go to think about things or just be alone. My friend and I would always go down there and play in the water,(since then its dried) it was full of little frogs and such , wed see a lot of stray dogs or even a coyote once there. The sky's were so open. I have some pictures so I feel like ill show them~ Since then its been completely torn down but it was one of my favorite places ^^

Oh gosh, where to start? Harry Potter was the first, and I still love it to this day. Right now I'm pretty obsessed with Brandon Sanderson's stuff in general, to the point where I put down a book I've been waiting for for months to re-read one of his just because it was on my Kindle and it was kind of dark out. I also really, really love Ender's Game. Also A Wrinkle in Time.
I also used to adore Percy Jackson. I still do, but less so.

I do this all the time, mostly because I have a really large vocabulary from reading but have never heard a bunch of the words out loud so I don't know how to say them.
And don't get me started on other languages, I can't do those at all.

New question! Lets try this! Which pills would you take if you can choose TWO?
In case you can't see it.
Yellow pill-read and search the minds of those you can see, even if it's a picture. You can also turn their minds off into a coma.
Green pill- shift into any animal
Blue pill-fly swim underwater and teleport
Orange pill-master any sport/activity that a human can do.
Red pill- super speed/strength , rapid regeneration.
Pinkpill-Make anyone fall in/out of love with you or someone else with a touch.
Grey pill-Can shoot small electrical shots. Control any machine.
Black pill- see one month into the future

Blue for sure, but I'm torn between green and yellow.

I'd pop the yellow pill in my mouth, put the person who's Offering me these pills in a coma, and take the rest ;D haha!.
I have an interesting question topic for later~

Hmm... If this is still going...
I'd make mine like this one giant Ferris wheel that's in Seattle, but half of it could go underwater in the aquarium next door- so you could see fish and otters and things like that. I'd have to figure out a way to keep water out of the cars, but it would be totally worth it. :-D
