Dream Meme

[doubleppk]

Okay so Crocodile and I got in a debate about having goals/unattainable quests/missions/whatever. And I've been curious about this for awhile and like Liet said, things are really slow on this ship right now. So dream meme.


1. Do you have an ultimate goal/dream?
a) If yes, what is this?
b) If you don't want to tell people, why not?
2. What is it you want right now/within the next month or so?
3. What would it take for you to achieve your ultimate dream?
a) What would it take for you to obtain what you want right now?
4. Do you want other people to be involved in this dream?
a) Who and/or why them/why not?
5. Did you have a different dream when you were younger?
a) What was it?
b) What made it change?
c) If you could do it now, would you?
6. How much closer are you to acheiving your goal from 6 months ago?

Liars are going to get their butt kicked by Nami. Because she's awesome like that.

I don't know. Maybe it just wasn't a strong enough goal? I mean if I wanted it enough I should have been willing to sacrifice more right? But I wasn't so maybe that's why.

If you really wanted it, you would've gone for it. Dreams are like that.

[doubleppk]

So then maybe I didn't really ever have dreams? Because if I did, I'd still want to chase them no matter what, right?

I know I would! But some people need a push for some reason.

[doubleppk]

It's not that I need a push, it was a stupid dream I had when I was too young and dumb to know any better. I didn't know that in order to keep a record contract you had to have sex with the producer, or that being famous was about getting into magazines as a sex icon instead of actually singing and I don't want that. I didn't know that just because you get an agent or a manager doesn't mean he isn't just using you to make money until you go off and yell at the people in charge and then he tries to sell you the first chance he gets to the yakuza.

I know better now.

Not that any of that happened to me. Just other girls. You know.

What are you talking about? If you don't wanna have sex with the producer, then just make it your dream to be a singer without doing all that. Don't you think you can do it?

[doubleppk]

Not really. Once an agent leaves you, no one will hire you or even audition you for a record contract. It's kind of like having just the music career portion of you die.

I don't get it, but I don't think it works like that here. You should just sing stuff, and we'll listen.

[doubleppk]

Well... yeah... I mean... here it's not like I have a bad reputation but...

I'm not sure I really want to be a singer anymore? I sing to myself... and um small animals that won't judge me but it's not like it's all that useful a talent anyway. I never was any good at songwriting and I mean... ok... it soothes animals but most people are kind of jerks about it and I don't want to bother putting myself in situations where I have to deal with jerks when I can avoid it. You know?

What, so you're just worried people won't like it? You should sing for Jyabura, I bet he'd like it. He likes it when his pigeon sings, right?

[doubleppk]

Well I do sing for Jyabura and he does like I think... I meant other people.

[king-rubber.livejournal.com]

Well if he likes it, why wouldn't other people like it?

[doubleppk]

Um I don't know? Jyabura likes a lot of things about me other people didn't? But Sanji said he would sing with me sometime so that could be fun. And Brooke wanted to sing a song with me too.

[king-rubber.livejournal.com]

I wanna hear you sing a song too.

[doubleppk]

Um... yeah?

Well maybe... I'll think about it. You sure?

[king-rubber.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I bet you're good.

ooc: wee blushing.

[doubleppk]

Oh um... thanks... but you might want to save that until you hear me. In case you know... I'm bad or something.

[king-rubber.livejournal.com]

I'm not worried.
