When I Grow Up...

I want to be rich, I wanna be famous, I want fake boobies.

After recieving a prospectus from the Metfilm School in London this morning, i've been given something to strive for, and actually work towards my exams.
I've been kinda sketchy about the career I've wanted for a while, but the something that I've always enjoyed was films. And about two years ago I was struck by the obvious: I should be doing film.
I've written stories since I was about 6, and although my more recent ones hold more depth than "Me and Ryan played James Bond", I still write. So I figure, I'd be good as a screenwriter.

Not that I haven't considered the usual, I did for a while want to be a Doctor, hell, I also wanted to be a palaeontologist, but the fact it wasn't even in the French dictionary posed me too big of an issue, so I dropped that idea. Also the fact dinosaurs died like 65,000,000 years ago (that's a ballpark figure but I could give you a much more precise figure. I was obsessed.)

It's not that I'm selfish or anything, it's not like, "Naw, I'd never be a doctor, I hate human contact", or anything like that, but I want to make a mark on the world. And when you think about the name of a famous Doctor you know, it's probably just your GP that you think of. But when you consider film writers/directors, many names come up: Spielberg, Lucas, Tarantino, to name a few.
I want to be mentioned in someone's Spanish Coursework. Okay, maybe Spanish is a bit of a push, considering I'm not even Spanish, but you know what I mean. I want to be remembered.
Plus, it's not like Directors don't help people. I mean, when you're depressed, when things are looking down, you don't go to the Doctor and ask for a diagnosis. You listen to music, or you watch a film.

(Sorry for bashing the medical profession so much, Cal)

Matt out.
