I’m sorry, but that’s just the way it is.[/hijack] Firsty, you do have a damn good job, that would be great. Secondly, yeah! They are nerds, that’s why I love them. That’s why I want to be a Mythbuster build team member. I’m happy to be called a nerd (in fact I’d be rather proud of getting into the top ten on nerdishness). 🙂 ---

After watching 60 Minutes and a variety of other shows on the subject as of late, I’m thinking camping is the only option. 😉 Good point, I saw that one too. And the other pieces elsewhere about how ultraviolet scans reveal traces of semen on just about everything in the room, come to think of it… Gotta come up with a plan B… ---

Yacht Evaluator. I’d head out to the tropics (with an all-girl crew, of course) and make sure the new model year’s designs were sea- and party-worthy. ---

I have no idea. If I could get paid to do what I do now (which is…umm…_nothing_) that would be ideal, but I think the only way to do that is to win a huge lotto jackpot, and I don’t even buy my one ticket to get my one in a million billion chance. Maybe a playwriter? I have several ideas for plays and musicals, but I know I’m not a good enough writer, and also know enough that mroe often that not, rather than take a chance on anything new, everyone just does what is tried and true in the theatre world. ---

Oh, and I officially hate **glee**. I’m sure I’ve said so before. 😛 ---

I want to be a Marketing & Technology Director for Music & Entertainment, right now I am a programmer with a music related website. ---
