What will you be like?

Dead.
Come on, do you really expect my generation (born in 1988) to slip through without some massive, world-shaking war? Or, if that is not enough, there are plenty of ecological problems that can reduce the probability of longevity considerably.
Plus, there is always that old good information about world ending in 2012 (we are thinking of doing some kind of celebration in the end of that year).

And if I am that lucky to be alive, it will probably be some style of cyberpunkish corporatocratic future so I would have to work 27 hours a day in a coal mine.


When I would consider some kind of more optimistic future, then well, probably my best friends now would be dead because they have quite bad health problems.
Okay, trying to be more optimistic...peace...happiness...cyanide...er...I' ll try to write something positive tomorrow...if I am alive then.

I want to be that awesome granny that takes the kids skydiving or goes gambling to Vegas, I want to be surrounded by my huge, bustling family and hopefully, my cooking will be edible by this time so I can feed everybody and yell "Put some meat on 'em bones, you're too skinny!"

I aspire to be a ninja con artist in my later years... :)
Seriously, who would suspect such a sweet old dear? hehehe
But that's just my job under the moonlight. I'll be a cool granny who's hell-bent on making everybody fat with biscuits ;)

Yeah, very optimistic indeed with all your best friends dead. :rolleyes: There was this person I had heard of who drank severely, smoke a lot, and had really bad health problems but a few of his relatives and friends still believed he would stop and with their support and his own will he did. Lived quite a long happy life afterwards seemingly. Now that was an optimistic approach of his friends.

Heh your granny sounds very interesting.

XD
I'm going to smoke cigarettes and eat chocolate cake all day. Hey, if I've made it that far, I'm not really too concerned about my health after that. May as well enjoy the rest of my days and indulge in unhealthy pleasures.

I will also have a lot of goats.

Not the cat lady.

The crazy goat lady.

I'm gonna be the horse lady!! in an old big house that will house all the neighborhood kids and my grandbabies and all their frinds. I will cook in cauldrons like a witch. I will do cartwheels in my decripitness
