30 day blog challenge. day 02

Where I would like to be i 10 years.

That is a really hard one for me. I'm 10 years I will be 33, thats a grown up person age. The last time I did one of these was a school assignment back when I was 13. According to what I wrote then I should now be a rich fashion designer that finished my education years ago. I would be very successful, have several of my own brand stores, be living in a villa in italy half the year and splitting the rest of my time between my house in Norway and my penthouse in London. I would also have two little twin girls and a fiancée. Clearly that didn't happen. But when you're young you're allowed to not be realistic right?
This time I think I'll try be a little more realistic. But I'm still a dreamer so we will see... :P

In 10 years.
I'n 10 years I hope to be well established within my field. Seeing as I'm still not sure what i want to work with lets say I will be a concept/character artist for animations. (uuuuh. working for Pixar or something would be awesome!) Or I will have worked on and had published a few books that will hopefully be quite successful. Or both :P Or I will work as an illustrator while running a cute little indie shop with lots of hand made stuff, comics, books, games and coffee. Basically the kind of place I would love to hang out in. I've also been contemplating theatre design. Best work experience I ever had. I'm not really sure. As long as I have a job I think is fun and that will allow me to live relatively comfortably I'll be happy. I hope I won't have to worry about money. Money worries are stressful.

I will hopefully have traveled a bit more. I hope to have seen at least a few of these: The temple complexes of Bangladesh, great barrier reef, the amazon jungle, matchu pitchu, the sun pyramid, wally of the kings, have watched meteor showers on Hawaii,  or have gone to Texas to see the centre of the galaxy.

travel dreams aside. I hope to be living in a nice house with a garden, with a dog or a cat and perhaps a partner. A kind and funny man who can make me laugh and who I feel comfortable with. The house will be simple but nicely decorated with a mixture of natural materials and all my geeky stuff. :P I will have an art room that doubles as a library. Other then that and the garden with trees and the fact that the house has to be by the sea or a massive lake I'm not fuzzy. I'm not eve sure what country I want it to be in. Perhaps one I haven't been to yet. The house has to have a nice kitchen though. Kitchens are important.

Kids? Maybe... I haven't really thought about it yet. But if I decide I want some I will hopefully have had them by 33. I don't want to be one of those old mums.

Hmm this is hard. What else? I want to be dancing and singing. Perhaps in a little band? It doesn't need to be a big thing, but I have to have music in my life. I can't really live without it.
All In all I just want a fun job, art, music, good friends, relative comfort and perhaps a partner/lover/best friend. Really, I just hope the next ten years getting there will be full of fun and good experiences.


Now it's back to dissertation writing for me! Which seems to be all I'm doing lately. Writing, reading about feminism and MAD MEN like Freud. (at least I remember how to spell his name now so I'm learning something! :P)
