Yes. But there's a lot of baggage I was unaware of as a kid that goes with the job.

It was when I bent over to pick up some money and I asked if you had dropped it.

Mrs_Doyle

I wanted to be a journalist or a famous singer/actress.

The closest I have got is having a few venue reviews published in an entertainment magazine, singing in a pub cabaret act, doing a few movie extras, reviewing Cd's on PopScene (when I was a kid) and appearing in the odd ad.

Still... I wont give up just yet.. I'll take a few more kicks to the ego before I pack it in for good.

Good times, good times...

I wanted to be an author from the age of 5-12. Then I discovered physics and wanted to do physics. Which I am doing.
Though sometimes I'm tempted to chuck it all in and do music (my cello) full time...
