stupid/hilarious aspirations from your past

did you eventually tell her that it wasn't true

zhicago · February 11, 2012 07:56 PM

It is probably the most fucked up thing I have ever done, especially considering shedidnt believe me when i told her it was our form of make believe (which it totally was for me at the time, I just didn't know at th time she thought it was real and not just some game we were playing). She said she had too many "spiritual experiences" fr it to have just been make believe, and that I had clearly lost touch with the other beings.
I was pretty dumbfounded and never talked to her again so idk what she's doing now. The amount of craziness in this 2 year span is just... really something else.

I always wanted to make these weird and different restaurants and I'd draw out the floor plans and everything...

The only two I can remember now is one called "Time to Eat!" which involved a menu with food items that ranged from ham sandwich to steak and lobster. Basically there was a timer on your table and you were only charged for the time it took to eat the food...so you could have a great amount of food for very cheap if you ate it fast. I thought this would work nicely since it meant customers would move through faster while they saved money but were full when they left and more open tables for customers opening up faster too (so more sales heh).

the 2nd restaurant was mouse themed, and the tables were circles that looked like cheese wheels and had this giant human sized bottle feeder with 4 spouts (for a party of 4) that you could lick and it dispensed soda or whatever drink you ordered. And the floors where made of glass and below you were literally RIVERS of live mice walking around and traveling around tubes that linked into the walls and around you (so you could watch the mice play!) and then every 20 minutes there was a "interactive" moment in the restaurant where it looked like a CAT had somehow got into the restaurant so red lights would flash and portions of the walls went down where you could see this giant animatronic cat paw looking like it's trying to get into the restaurant, and another crack had a big cat eye with a red laser that shot out and "scanned the room"...the cat would then retreat when two mice animatronics wearing machine guns would come out and pretend to fire at the paw and then it would MEOWWWW and go away....(for the next show in 20 mins).

Same goes for me, but I'm still gunning for that I guess

Bogswallop · February 13, 2012 11:21 PM

When I was very young, I wanted to be a train driver cause thomas the tank engine.

dilly · February 14, 2012 03:31 AM

i wanted to write a lot of stories as a kid. they were always either about cats or pokemon though.

part of that still holds true today, minus the cats and pokemon.

Thomas the Tank Engine was the shit

Hnilmik · February 14, 2012 09:09 AM

I said I wanted to be a cartoon character. Just... That. It morphed into what I am now though.

I also wanted to be a magician, if I couldn't be a magical girl. Today, I'm ironically friends with magicians/magician's assistants. Maybe someday...

Pretty much. Cool, but I tend to be a slow eater!

Yes.

Shida · February 14, 2012 01:50 PM

I had two really dumb ones;
one was to create a habbo hotel clone that was actually school. So like a massive school mmorpg esque thing except you still had to learn and hand in homework /)_(\
second was to become a playwright, but looking at the sort of stuff I wrote at the time I am really glad that didn't happen

lenko · February 14, 2012 04:06 PM

oh yeah

i used to want to work for rareware. like really badly. back when they were making stuff like goldeneye, banjo kazooie, donkey kong etc

but looking at the current state of them i'm glad this never happened
