They wear top-hats, ok.

Wonder Woman. How was I supposed to know that I would need some type of transgender operation if this was ever to come true. Let alone where I was going to get the special powers from.

Many a Saturday morning spent spinning around, and around....

Steven · 31-05-2005 6:06pm

A programmer.
I am such a nerd.

Well, unless you're talking about the old-school version of Wonder Woman, her powers came from her magical accessories which were gifts from the greek gods. So a sex change and a quick robbery is all you need.

I don't even like Wonder Woman. I am such a nerd. :cool:

Firstly I wanted to be a dentist (for the money), then I wanted to be a vet (because I like animals), then I wanted to be a professional footbal player (but then I gave up because I felt all women were coming with me only because I was famous); then I went on to study surveying, and at the end I am doing something completely different...... :rolleyes:

Piste · 31-05-2005 8:20pm

The first job I can remember wanting was a Shepherdess*. Then my ambitions grew and I decided to become a doctor. Now I'm toying with the Idea of Lumberjack..............altogether now! 'I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok....'

*leave me alone I was 3/4!

tribulus · 31-05-2005 8:25pm

biochemist/pharmacologist and am on they way to becoming one

that or a soldier in 'nam....i was allowed to watch far too much platoon/hamburger hill etc. as a kid :rolleyes:

PurpleFistMixer · 31-05-2005 9:16pm

Writer, then illustrator. And then both, simultaneously.
Then toyed with the idea of Pharmacy until I realised I don't trust pills as far as I can throw them..... which isn't far. Small things are so annoyingly difficult to throw.
After giving that up, thought about photography, and am now back to writing, and drawing graphic novels.
There may also have been a brief time when I wanted to be an astrophysicist...

qz · 31-05-2005 9:54pm
