Dancing Stick Figures & Fashionable Spies

With a great deal of extra time on my hands, and my daily perusing of Craiglist, I have begun to think of many forms of employment I would have liked to pursue in my life, other than PR or writing. View this kind of like when you were little and had to write about what you want to be when you grow up, this is my "I wish I could have been, but never could be when I grow up" list.

1. Tattoo artist: I would love to be a tattoo artist. Unfortunately I can’t draw. Unless there is a major calling for stick figures, clouds, or shaggy dogs. My dream of becoming Kat Von D is not very likely. I guess I will just have to stick with getting rather than giving tattoos. However, Kat when you need an artist who specializes in stick figures, I'm your girl.

2. Professional dancer: If it's a dance movie, I have probably seen it. Anything from ballet, ballroom or hip hop, this girl loves her dance flicks. However, as you can tell by my blog banner, I am white and lack all sense of rhythm thus my dance career was over before it even started. Therefore I must live vicariously through dance movies. Step Up 2 is one of my favorites, and in my perfect world Beyonce would decide to become my best friend and teach me to dance.


3. Fashion designer: I love clothes and have a million ideas for great pieces. However, based on my sewing ability this is a little more than a pipe dream. Example; yesterday I tried to sew buttons on a shirt, every button was crooked. Luckily my friend Kristi, who can sew which is why were friends, fixed them. I am pretty sure junior high home ec students could do a better job. Oh, in addition to my lack of sewing ability, remember, I still can’t draw.


4. Spy: Really I don’t know what qualifications one needs to be a spy. According to movies and my brother, you must first be an orphan; second, lose your memory; third, have no major personal ties, and fourth be able to do back flips off building and drive like Jason Stathum. Much to my spy dream dismay I was born to a large Italian family and have quite a few personal ties, but the the back flips shouldn't be a problem.



Overall, in my constant job search I guess writing and PR are my best fit. But a girl can dream can't she. However, next time I am searching Craigslist and come across an ad for tattooer whose specality is stick figures and shaggy dogs you know I will be the first to apply.
