What are your aspirations/life plans?

Epsira · January 10, 2015, 02:53:17 AM

Spoiler

I'm interested in pursuing extended life to tackle all of my interests and live to the actual space age/ understand the universe/ create all the ideas I have springing in my head at any moment.
So... I'm pursuing a track in Biology and English (yup, fucking English). The issue here is that I'm not convinced the way I'm shown is the best means or the one I need to follow. I'm an idealist, and once I have that ideal solidified in mind I'm a stubborn motherfucker letting go, even if it damages me. So I have an idea about getting enough money to engineer my own education free of external influences or wanting of a job except a job I create for myself. I'm not someone who desires to live in society, I'd much rather be on the fringes or not in it at all.
Above all, the existence I desire is one of freedom, exploration, and mastery.

How bout you guys?

If I don't die when I am supposed to?

Publish a successful sci-fi video game franchise
Write multiple books
Go to the Tuscan countryside (not some big life goal, just something I'd like to do)
Create a fast food chain
Get a job at Marvel Comics as a writer
Become a youth pastor

Those are the big ones.

Like jumping on the anti-aging train if it rolls around, or under other circumstances?

My doctor told me in October that I would most likely be dead by 2016; due to genetic issues and ultra-severe air-based allergies. Long story short: the medicine I take to keep me alive is killing me, and if I stop taking it my allergies will kill me.

And that's just the allergies, not accounting for heart disease/heart issues, high rates of cancer on both sides of my family, etc.

Get into law, probably.

Psychomech · January 10, 2015, 03:07:44 AM

not sure, might join the Navy and work on their nuclear subs (scored high enough on my ASVAB)

Become a lawyer who becomes high off their mind in a session and win the case?

Sounds great

I thought this would be the case after reading your reply in the Sandtrap thread.
Would you mind answering a question of mine pertaining to your condition?

Doctor Doom · January 10, 2015, 03:17:29 AM

Hopefully become an author. Writing is my only real skill and I've already put years of time and effort worldbuilding for the novel I'm attempting to work on.

Something to do with fitness.

Possibly publish a book, that'll be nice...

I have so many but they're just not realistic. For as far as what is realistic, I know I'm going to become a chemical engineer. Once I get my degree and my engineering certification I plan on joining the military for at least five or so years. After that I plan on getting a job in industry, and because of my history in the military I should have an easy time getting a good position somewhere. At that point it's all just dreams. I want to work on bio-genetic engineering in bacterium. I want to expand the diet of bacterium to apply to most everything you can find in a landfill so that we can make things biodegradable, effectively cleaning up the landfill, or at least turning it into something that could be mined for resources. I've had other large ideas I want to work on but I just feel like they're not that realistic. But as far as getting married, I do hope to, I just feel like I'll have a harder time if I'm joining the military straight out of college.

I'd like to hear some of the larger ones. I'm essentially going for something nigh impossible, so I'd be curious to know a bit more about yours. If you don't mind, of course.

Septy · January 10, 2015, 03:32:02 AM

Can't decide between engineering and medicine

Yeah, writing's the only thing I have going for me currently, maybe music. And I've also put a few years into worldbuilding for a trilogy idea I have in mind. Sci-fi, or fantasy?

A little sci-fi military thing. With vampires. It's better than it sounds, or so I hope. I started working on it back when I was 14 or 15, when I was on YouTube bashing Twilight because that was the cool thing to do. Somebody apparently objected, because they told me I couldn't write anything better.

So I'm doing exactly that. It's come a long way.

Speaking of which, I got linked to one of those fake FBI spam sites about two hours ago and had to close down everything, including the chapter I was working on. I tried opening it again after I used SpyBot and Malwarebytes to clean out the shit the site put on my laptop, but I couldn't. I thought had I lost it all and almost threw a shitfit because it was over a hundred pages. Then I found an older version that had everything up to the previous chapter on it, which means I only lost a few paragraphs, thank god.

Edit: and now I have the rest. All is well.

Nice. Military and vampires, huh? I can see it working out pretty well. Do you think a movie could be made from it if it takes off?

If it sells, I sure hope so. I have a ton of story ideas thought up and a multi-millenial timeline planned, so there wouldn't be any shortage of potential films, but that's only if it's successful.

That was actually a problem I ran into early on - I was treating it more like a movie or a video game than a novel. I wasn't writing with the level of detail I should have. It's inspired by a number of action movies and games - think Underworld meets 40k meets Halo, with a little Dead Space and Metal Gear thrown in, so it was easy to get caught up in writing fight scenes and all that, which I'm good at. The downside was that I skipped out on dialogue and detail, which I'm not so good at, so I resolved to write it barebones at first and edit it all when I'm finished and add the details then.

You know that one time where I said to her after betraying me that what she has done is nothing compared to what I'm going to do to her?

Yeah... I fucked her alright. Right in the pussy.
