Who are you?

saucyminx · 07-05-2005, 11:00 AM

Ok. Funtime's over, kids (just wanna say that for heck). We've had threads like "What do you look like?" and "Do I Look Like Steve Buscemi?". So let's talk about what're you doing for a living... besides rotting in front of your PC digging through your avatar's inventories!

I'll start.

Job Description: Medical student (sigh...)
Dream Career: Archaeology (sometimes I wanna be a Mona Sax professional killer, but it's just a mindless dream...)
The Absolute Nirvana Dream Job: Play adventuregames and actually get paid for it.

fov- Wow! What a high "ick-factor" tolerance you must have developed over the years. Then again, you must have picked up some interesting ideas for obscure clues in murder mysteries you might like to write.
