Hi Aunt Gertie!

I can understand!  I wanted to be a brain surgeon like Jethro Bodine and it didn't happen.

Two vastly different things.

Firstly, a marine biologist. I have NO idea why other than I love the sea/ocean.

Secondly a writer.

I came closest to the first, joining the Navy. Dabbled with the second, although not for quite a long time.

Lol yeah. I guess that's why I went on subs. I love the water, and being immersed in it. That's my element.

lol Can very proudly say "never been in a Mad-dog bin!" PA just didn't have 'em!

With 727 at least one could stand on feet! Another rainy weekend it's been just killer!

That was the problem with being as small as I am.  I got to be the bin monster on all the Mad-dogs.  A 727 put me in the hospital.  A Convair 880 bin door gave me a concussion.

I wasn't so far apart like Jethro. I come from a blue collar background where I was smarter than most of my peers and I had found staying in my roots unsatisfactory, but no one to show me the way out. Mentors are important.

I wanted to be a cartoonist - later that changed to 3D animator which I have done for many years.
But these days I spend most of my time 3d modelling for jewelry and architecture.

That's sooooooooooooo kewl.  A friend of mine pay for his son to go the Prague and study animation.  When he came back he got a job with I guess Lucas Films?  And did parts on at least How to train your dragon.

I can understand that.  My mother was very intelligent but believe she gave up and fell into a wine bottle when I was about 10.  My dad use to throw how he paid cash for his first car by working in a brickyard.  He neglected to add that he lived in his parents basement until he was 30 and got my mother pregnant and they moved from Illinois to California.

My wife does very well. Works for a very large national bank managing project managers. My drug was food. Now I do Keto. Down 112lbs since June.

I wanted to be a rock star, neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver, and comic book hero.

Bonus points for anyone who knows the combination!

Maybe even a trip through the 8th dimension.

My drum teacher would tell me if only I practiced more and took it more seriously...maybe. If one have several interests , it makes things harder in terms of career. I envy people with singular focus.

Yes, of course you got the extra points.  You are now officially my favorite person on Susan's place.  I know it's kind of like winning a kiss from giraffe, but it's all I got.

That's great!  I'm a smarty pants, I'm a sparty pants...

Kiss from a giraffe is better than one from a rattler!

Rumples

Astronaut / General lay about / Clinical Psychologist

Space. My first love. I was, and still am absolutely fascinated by it. I don't really need to say I got no way near actually being one.

I was a typical teen, had a mediocre interest in school, choose my work and going out over college. Kinda scraped by there.

Managed to get into a BPS accredited degree, and didn't follow up onto a Master's. Kinda went off the rails again as a party girl in my early 20s.

Eventually, I would at a national engineering company, dealing with all the crap no on was interested in, liabilites, contracts, parts/materials.  I then went on to contracting myself out as a Training Manager to the e-commerce/ dot-com industry.  One day at 5am, before the end of my shift, I wondered what the hell I was doing. I gave my weeks notice.

My official title is now Housewife, so I'm told. My days are the school run, PTA stuff and trying to avoid new born spit up.

Best decision ever. I may go back to Uni later this year.
Turn to page 137:
You enter the room, Rumples slowly turns to face you, tilts her head and let's out a slight smirk. Everything you were, are, and ever will be disintegrates into absolute nothingness.
Your adventure ends here.
