  • What do you want to be when you grow up? See all answers
    • If I grow up, I want to be a dreamer.

    • Business cards? Forget business cards. I will hand out scarves, beautiful scarves. They'll all be different colors and possess their own unique scents: key-lime green, peach pie orange, merlot red, mild apple pink. Wrap the scarf around your face, and with one breath, you'll be transported to a myriad of fantastical worlds full of dangerously headstrong women, beautifully damaged men, and romances fraught with brutal complications.

      When I grow up, I want to be Alice Hoffman. I want to be Audrey Neffenegger. I want to be Neil Gaiman, Sarah Waters, Edith Wharton. I want to be Colin Meloy. I want to be someone who makes magic happen with the touch of her fingers.

      I want to be a writer.

      Barring that, I'd just like a lot of scarves. :)

    What a wonderful idea! I'll take Edith Wharton (without the mental instability) and the Red Merlot (lets make it Zinfandel) scarf, please ;-)

    Dibs on the peach pie scarf please, oh and maybe a beautiful (but only slightly damaged) man.

    @jess -- But where would Edith Wharton be without her craziness? Probably still dead, but you know what I'm saying. ;) Sane Wharton and a Zinfandel scarf for you!
    @MissInformed -- I shall drape your beautiful (and only slightly damaged *g*) man in a peachy scarf and deliver him to you forthwith. Does UPS ship imagination? Hmmm ... ;)
