Let's all go to law school together.

Let's all go to jail together.

Let's all quit ILX forever together.

I just had a tattoo put on my abdomen. It depicts all the faces of the top 50 ILE posters in a psychedelic collage.

Dream fulfilled, then?

Hey that might mean I am on there - yep 38! You don't even know what I look like...

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Honestly, all I want is for this Cleft & Cloven record I'm working on to get distributed by some indie or electronic label. That's it, everything else I know how to work out on my own, I think. Including the crocodile hunter hunting.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i cant believe what a bunch of non-dream having motherfuckers you all are

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a dream, a big one.

Oh don't worry, there's no chance of it happening.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

don't be self-effacing

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

not fear rejection by the ladies.

Plain and simple and true.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to be a house husband.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Right now my dream is to leave work some time before midnight. One must think short term.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

"One must think short term"
Yul Brynner, 1985

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Ronan OTM! I also want to be a house husband, except without any kids.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Getting the book published would be pretty damned nice, getting more than one published even nicer. So I will work towards this dream.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to provide forums and moolah to my favorite bands and writers. I'd like to be able to teleport.

My dream is to make amateurist have lots of fun against his will.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

um, being not single?

― ex-jeremy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently amateurist is very fun and makes a lot of jokes and smiles. He likes Van Morrison, too!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I suspect he's having fun here on ILX all the time.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

lose the need to sleep. & study the giant/colossal squid, but only if nobody else discovers anything exciting first.

this is a terrifying question that i cannot answer

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 September 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

the best i can say is that i'd like to be a part of something important along with a bunch of people that matter to me

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 September 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to make my mark, go down in history, be someone so awe-inspiringly GREAT that people just can't help but notice me, my presence, my whole being. I know it sounds egotistical, but we're talking dreams here, and I'd be happy with something similar to this but not as far-reaching. Hell, I think I'd be happy with a more exciting life led minus all the insecurities and self-hatred I feel all the time.

(*sighs* This is SO going to add fuel to the hater file, isn't it?)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 23 September 2004 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

My dream is to earn enough money to live on and perhaps go out whenever I like. A man can dream, a man can dream...

1. talk about a dream
2. try to make it real
3. wake up in the night with a fear so real
4. spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come

That's why you gotta let the broken hearts stand as the price you gotta pay, amateurist.
