I'd like to be an author - it's a quieter kind of fame.
Of course, I wouldn't really want to be famous at all... fame directly opposes privacy - the more you have of one, the more you lose of the other, and I like my privacy.
I'd still like to be an author though.

Ditto.
If I were to have a privacy-invading kind of fame, though, I'd have to say Royalty, because all the others involve being talented in ways that I am most certainly not. :lol:

I voted rock star because that was always my dream growing up. But in reality, I'd love to be an author and impact those who read my book(s). I don't just want to write anything, I want to write something.
Being locally famous is appealling as well.

I want to be famous (If I had no choice but to be famous) being recognized for my countless efforts to make life for children, women and eventually all, a more pleasant, safe and comfortable existence. I would like to be remembered for touching many lives, helping people out of abusive situations, poverty, unhealthy conditions. I would like to be famous for animal advocacy, the list goes on and on, but now...right now, I try to impact at least 1 life at a time.

That sounds like the best way in the world to become famous so I totally agree with you.But if that couldn't happen I'd have to choose author,I've always wanted to write a novel.

I would like to be a famous author. I spend most of my time reading and/or writing so it fits.
It would be cool to be a notable poet or novelist. But I agree I would rather be rich than rich and famous. I'm shy :floating:

You wrote exactly what I was thinking. :thumbsup:
If I were to be "famous" I guess I'd like it to be for opening an animal sanctuary, helping an endangered species survive, something like that. That kind of fame is pretty much under the radar of pop culture and would be better suited for me.

I picked Rock Star, cos I've always wanted to sing :) I'm in a band currently, but we're not really going anywhere... :(
However, I wouldn't just want to be a Rock Star, tho that's my preferance... I'd love to be an author, (I write soooooo much!), a dancer, a West End star, a choreographer, a photographer, a set designer, an artist, a costume designer, a song writer, a screen-play writer, a make-up artist, a producer (film or music)..... The list is endless!!!

October 10th, 2003, 09:31 AM
Frankly, I'd rather not be famous; but if I was I suppose I'd be a writer. They get to spend most of their time at home writing. I prefer to remain anonymous and 'secluded'. Authors don't have as many papparazzi following them around!

I'd say author.
My BF is a musician, and it seems that prevailing fads are too much a factor in the career:
If you find a style that your good at, and you have something to say, great. But when it's your bread and butter...
One day your the s**t, then next year another style is the fashion. Hey ho, now you're a "has been". Not so great.
Too much on the ego and the pocketbook for me. Writing styles and fashions fluctuate much more slowly.

Call me mad, but I'd prefer to be a famous mathematician.
Not only does that mean that any university would be happy to guarantee me a career for the rest of my working life (something that none of the above categories of famous people could be sure of), but it also means I get plenty of recognition and pride within mathematical circles, with none of the social and security problems that being a famous actor, say, would entail.

You know what a great way to become famous is, especially if you are a chick? Become a serial killer!!!
Serious, look at Jack the Ripper! Just make sure you are a class act, and read up on your surgery and anatomy! And of course, make sure your favoured method of death isn't shooting. I am sorry, that is just lacking.
Hell, why not become a Jack the Ripper copycat! Sure to make you become famous!

too many choices!!! I want to be a singer, preferably rock, but I also have a passion for acting and stand up comedy, and I really want to be a writer! Realistically, writing is probably my best option, but I still would like to try the others...
AuroraSilvermist
August 20th, 2004, 02:51 PM
Can't pick more than one, so I chose author. It IS a rush getting something published and seeing it in print and having other people comment about it, so I'd enjoy more of the same. And making money at it would actually be a GOOD thing. ;)
But I have to admit there's something about being a performer that appeals to me, too. I was an accompanyist for a choir for 17 years (started at age 15), and it's so amazing when the energy's flowing and the performance is ON and everyone's jazzed and swept away by it. There's no greater high. And every time I hear a live version of some song on the radio, I imagine how incredible it would feel to have thousands of people all singing YOUR song with you while you're performing it on stage...to have them know the lyrics YOU wrote by heart. God! How cool would that be?
But I don't have the temperament for a rock star. :lol:
Okay, I have to stop daydreaming now. :doh2:

I'd have to say author. Either that or the next Mohandas Ghandi, I've looked up to the man my whole life, I have a lot of respect for him, and my dream, at least at this point would be to follow in his footsteps in terms of the Pagan faiths, and try to end some of the uneducated hatred of the pagan faiths.

Actress.
My DREAM has always been and still is to be an actress.
i LOVE acting & drama & theater, etc.
I've been doing it since elementry. My big role (so far) was Juliet in Shakespear's "Romeo & Juliet" :D
yea yea it was a high school play... but STILL!!
I also love working on costumes & set design, etc.
If I couldnt be an actress per~se, I would love to work for Disney or a big Hollywood studio & work on the art & special effects.
But yeah, if I ever got the opporatunity, I would definitly go out to Hollywood and try to make it (though I know its a long shot). Its just something I would love to at least try.
Maybe one day in the future I will!
