When I grow up...

(When I grow up, I'm going to have a house with a library. And in this library shall be thousands of books, one cozy chair, and a floor-standing globe.)

What about you?

When I grow up

I want to live in a house by the sea and have a boat close by so that I can sail away into the sunset, with thousands of books in the boat andin the house.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Which sea would you like to live near?

When I grown up I'm going to always make my bed and speak French and Latin.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I would love to speak Latin. I learned to read some by accident, but speaking is another story.

[ladyrita.livejournal.com]

Sayers lamented that she never felt comfortable speaking it, due to not speaking it from birth the way she did French. I know I'll never know it well, but one can dream.

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

French! Yay! :D

When I grow up I'm going to have large hands so I can finally play all the Brahms I want. I'm also going to travel to Italy and look at original medieval and renaissance music. I will also have Bose CD players and speakers. And a couple grand pianos. And a husband.

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and all my friends will live within 10 minutes of my house. Can't forget that.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

All of that, eh?

Better start the hand exercises. =)

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

All that and more. :)

Or I could just get a hand transplant. ;)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

You could be an Igor, then.

[melyndie.livejournal.com]

...I will have smart children. And an even smarter cat.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Naturally your children will be brilliant!

I hadn't thought of you as a cat person. Hm. Have you ever had one?

[melyndie.livejournal.com]

Yes, hopefully naturally and artificially (that is, by learning).

I love cats. We had cats for most of my growing up! Indoor kitties are the best. My brothers also love cats. It's just my parents that don't (and Mom claims an allergy). :-|

There we go...an appropriate icon.

When I grow up...

...I will be patient, gracious, & humble, be a flawless housekeeper, play the piano effortlessly & have a grand piano to indulge my piano-playing whims. I will keep up my moderate violin-playing, and continue to teach music lessons. I will be involved in counseling, somehow... perhaps at a crisis pregnancy center? Oh, and a husband would be lovely as well, but that's not something I'm resting my life's happiness upon. :-)

[kathlenelsworth.livejournal.com]

I forgot to add- and I will have a house spacious enough to contain all of the books I want to own, plus my grand piano (which I don't yet own...), and have a lovely view & plenty of space for entertaining friends & family.

Can I have a Corvette too? ;-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

It never hurts to dream!

[kathlenelsworth.livejournal.com]

*grin* That's as far as I'm going to get with some of these things ;-) Unless a mucho sweet person gifts me a Corvette.

[misshoneybee.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, me too! I've dreamed of having a cozy library like the ones in movies and books, with a fireplace, sliding ladder and everything!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

*snaps fingers* I knew I was forgetting something! We must have a sliding ladder.

[kathlenelsworth.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! That's something I've always adored :-)

[jmcphers.livejournal.com]

A house by the ocean with lots of windows and a grand piano. Also, a porch swing facing the ocean.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Do you have a preference which ocean?

[jmcphers.livejournal.com]

I'm partial to the Pacific, but I'm not picky. (-:

[pianistamy.livejournal.com]

When I grow up, I will sing at people's weddings, live near the sea, watch a Disney movie at least once a week, and never cook lima beans.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

No lima beans? For shame!

When I grow up... I want to be an endearing old lady that's house is filled with books and I always have a pleasant but stern disposition. I will be the sort whose house is neatly in order with freshly baked something-deliciously yummy with tea ready on hand. I will be ordered and structured but always whimsical and filling children's heads with the wildest of notions and doing everything I can possibly do to foster imagination. I will be wise and witty and stern. :D Oh and looks ! I will have long sweeping grey hair that has a bit of a silver tint. I will scoop it all up into a gorgeously delicious little bun on the top of my head. I will have very wrinkled skin that is soft and worn.

Oh, I cannot wait to grow old!!

(Pssst! I was checking out how my recent entry looked on a friend's friends' page when I noticed this entry and could not help but write a little note! I've always looked forward to growing old and had to endulge (at least a little) in my fantasty grown-up world).

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

A house full of book is always a wonderful thing to look forward to. =)
