h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Lots and lots and lots of things. Until the age of thirteen, I *knew* I would be a painter (funnily enough, I do make some money out of it on the side), until everyone decided I wasn't stupid enough to be allowed to do art. Also wanted to be a stand up comedian once, until I realised I would be appalling. Then I wanted to be a comedy scriptwriter (still do deep down). I once toyed with the idea of being a cinematographer, until I realised you had to be good at physics.

Now? If I can end up as a critic/playwright/comedy writer/novelist/portrait painter, I'd be a damned happy bunny.

I remember seeing a ballet televised at the age of 7 or 8 years old and thinking that the guys in it were absolutly amazing. Muscular, strong plus good dancers. I mentioned this to my best friend at the time Glynn Moore and (after gales of laughter and days of ridicule.) never mentioned it again.I don't think my diet of Mars bars and Opal fruits (as were) would have helped me but the fact that I could not mention it made it stick. I also wanted to be an artist, space man, lawyer, Magnum P.I, artist, film director, script writer, comic book artist, blues singer, pilot, scientist (after seeing Ghostbusters)and finally happy. well...1 out of 11 aint bad.

p.s
I own a Hawaiin shirt just in case they remake Magnum.
