When I was little, I thought I would be
A big comedian on late-night TV
But now I'm thirty-two, and as you can see, I'm not!
Oh, well!
It sucks to be me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was little, I thought I'd grow up to be unmarried, childless, and an astronomer. Two out of three ain't bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Allyson, I think you have a pretty good life, even if you aren't Sarah Vowell. Your face and voice are too lovely to be her, anyway...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was four, I wanted to either be an astronaut or a bus driver.
I guess I still could be a bus driver.

Here is a baby sloth in pajamas. You’re welcome.
Good god, they really are just ridiculously adorable.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Aw, Jesse, I'm going to send you some homemade hip hop fortune cookies.
It is a pretty good life. I'm grateful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Some what?? That sounds awesome! Anyway, I'm serious.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I think I probably would have liked the Bloggess more before she became the Bloggess. She's amusing sometimes, though.
That's kinda my stance. Mostly, I am slightly (and somewhat ashamedly) envious of her family's apparent standard of living. Am I right in assuming she doesn't have a day job?
When I was little, I wanted to either be the Wicked Witch of the West or a vampire queen. I figure I still have time to make either of those goals.

I have slightly achieved Zen's plan. Astronomer adjacent, at least. I did plan on being an astronomer with the letters after my name, but I'm glad I didn't.

I don't remember what I wanted when I was that young. I'm sure it involved ponies.
