Childhood AmbitionsHoratioFellatio writes:
"At the tender age of 13, my little hairless clockweights squirted their first dose of testosterone into my blood stream. The result was a mental alarm clock shouting, 'I NEED TO LOOK AT GIRL'S FANNIES.' I reasoned that if I became a Gynaecologist, I'd get to look at fannies all day.
"It was only when I reached the age of about 16 and learnt about STD's and yeast infections that I realised I'd only ever get to see diseased ones."
Tell us about your childhood career ambitions and the moment at which your aspirations crumbled into a pile of broken dreams.

Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington. She's an ugly, untalented brute of a girl.I wanted to be an actor/singer. Not a star, just in work on the stage. I knew what I wanted from the age of eight, before I even knew my grandmother and great grandfather had done it and it kind of ran in the family.
I went to acting school and trained for seven years as a classical singer.
And I started auditioning for stuff and discovered that my nerves always got the better of me, so I always fucked up auditions. I finally got a lead role in something only to have the show pulled because the theatre company couldn't afford the rights. I took it as an omen and gave up after that.
I now have a twenty-something year career under my belt of supporting and facilitating professional performers in various ways. I get to watch other people do what I always wanted to do. Close up.
It sort of sucks and sort of doesn't.
