What type of person did you think you'd end up with as a teen. I wanted to be a divorcée

for the longest time because it looked like fun to read books all the time, garden and do what you want. Then, when I moved to Nova Scotia to go to college, I dreamt that I would fall in love with a ship's captain, who wore a cream cableknit sweater and lived in a lighthouse (the Irish Spring guy). I ended up living alone and love it. I feel I am a lucky person to be so living my dreams.

1. Was hoping for a Heather Thomas clone.

Didn't quite work out that way.

2. There's two Es in divorcee

you got the accent over the E thing right, but I don't know how to make accent e's online. So there.

4. Press & hold down alt with 130 on the keypad. That gives you an "é".

7. I'll give it a go

I see "�" - What do you see?

10. Oh. I live in Canada so maybe my keyboard is different.

3. Brainy, successful career woman.

Still looking. I always thought I'd be the stay-at-home parent who wrote books and maybe taught a class at the learning annex.

5. Someone cute from a nice, normal family...

And that is just who I married...

6. I wanted to be a kept man

8. The guy in prison that everyone scores their pot from.

9. A divorcee? That's hysterical.

You rock.

Personally, I wanted to be a "horse woman" for a long time, which apparently involved some amorphous job in which people would give me money to pet, groom and ride horses. Then I wanted to be a Left Banker in Paris. I could still go for that one!

11. I was a divorcee, and I always thought I would be.

My mother was married 3 times and my father 5 times. I never wanted to end up like them, but my first marriage did not work out. I never remarried because I did not want to go through another divorce.

14. I obviously had a flippant view of the world as a teen. What I was trying to get at was

that I always wanted to be independant.

12. My best friend.

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I always wanted to end up with a woman who was either my best friend or pretty damn close to being my best friend. Maybe that's why I have always been attracted to tomboys - they like to do lots of the same stuff I like to do!

13. I never really expected we would all still be here.

I figured a nuclear war was a near certainty, and I'd be living a post-apocalyptic subsistence lifestyle.

15. I was such a dreamer... I thought I would be an artist in Paris.

Instead, I'm an art teacher in Podunk! LOL

[Wait Wut]

16. None.

I wanted to be a single mother. Which I became at 18. But, I forgot to go back to school to get my law degree so I missed the other part of my fantasy. Now, the kid is grown and I'm married for the second time. I was always told that I'm "not the marrying kind". The Husband is pretty patient, though.
