I don't want to grow up, but when I do, I want to be happy.
Anything else would be a bonus.

a gaping invitation for me to insert, perhaps unnescicarilly long, but i dont make 100+ posts in the space of a day, so swings and roundabouts....-
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up Nothin' ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up. How do you move in a world of fog That's always changing things Makes me wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things They they'd never want The only thing to live for Is today... I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest And I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount I don't wanna grow up.
Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinking all night And I don't wanna grow up I'd rather say here in my room. Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old tob On Grand Street
When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float a broom Fall in love and get married then boom How the hell did I get here so soon I don't wanna grow up
i am unflinching in my admiration for tom waits.

I want to be a children's author ... and if I could earn just a small proportion of what the mighty J.K Rowling has earnt I would be a very happy lady!
I would also like to sing the part of the narrator in Joseph and his amzing technicolor dreamcoat.

I dream of a nice existence, one with no hard work for instance. I want to live in a dream.

When I grow up I want: - The self-confidence of Monsieur le Panda But then I aim low. ;D By rights I should probably find that quite offensive. But I actually found it rather lovely. ;D
