What's in Europe, anyway?

France = Wine
Russia = Vodka
UK = Scotch
Germany = Schnapps

My point is that the General Topic title has been weird since before I left.

But, I was looking through old threads and I was reminded of that one time I tried to join the military 'cause my life was turning to plotz. (It's a Yiddish term, you non-Europeans wouldn't understand.) Because I'm a pasty face white, privileged, wannbe poet, I wanted to go into the Priesthood. My uncle was a priest and me aunt was a nun. It seemed apropos. (A French term.) Then I thought that because I lacked discipline, or any sort of motivation, I should join the army! (Also, because my life was falling apart, and in tragedies they tend to join the French Foreign Legion.) Now, I think, (keep in mind, it's been years that I've thought of signing on to anything that's not medical) I want to be a writer. I've heard that I've got to sleep on a lot of couches, 'afore I can be recognized as a "proper writer."

I was wondering what you guys really want or wanted to be; fantastic or otherwise. But nothing European, because apparently tjey're into vodka, which is the poles. What is your favoured job, dream or otherwise?

(And fifth, I'm too drunk to reference the specific job post, but I know you what when had pretty girls in with southern accents all up ins, so what's up with that?endparenthesis
