    Age in 10 Years: 25

    Where I want to be in 10 years:

    [*] Married/Engaged/Seriously dating

    [*] College degree in Meteorology (major) and Biology (minor)

    [*] Living in an Apartment or house

    [*] Working a decent job

    [*] Possibly workings as a meteorologist

    [*] Still in contact with highschool friends

    [*] Have a better relationship with my sister

    [*] Have a nice car (Element)

    [*] Be fairly well off with money

    [*] Have published a novel and a poetry book (i'm working on these this summer)

    [*] Still have both parents and granparents (on mom's side, cause they're younger)

    [*] Still be cool in my mind (not to change because of anyone)

    [*] Still be emo (but not at work)

    [*] Still be close to my mom

    [*] Still be alive and looking young (i dunno 25 seems far away)

    [*] Have a female black cat named 'Pepper' and a white tom-cat named 'Salt'

    [*] Still be addicted to drugs, alchohol, or cigarettes

    [*] Be in love with whom I'm married/engaged to and have them love me back

    [*] Still have my cats Bitty (will be 13), TJ (w/b 11), Torite (w/b 13), Salem (w/b 11), Beefy (w/b 15), and if all possible Baby (w/b 18)

    -working for the law enforcement unit I want to and having it be everything I want it to
    -have a steady girlfriend who loves me very much
    -to be off my meds and be successful
    -to have had all my books published and reach my writing goal

    ...wow. It seems that on the surface I am asking for very little, but in reality that's a hell of a lot. The unit I want to get into is very grueling, very hard to get into. The PFT involves 75 pushups in a minute, 75 situps in another minute, 10-15 pull-ups, a 1.5 mile run in 10-15 minutes and a 300-meter dash. I have not begun to train steadily. I will need to acquire a driver's liscence which will be a manageable challenge but one regardless. Historically, few people with cyclothymia--none, according to my psychiatrist--have been able to go off their pills. They suffer nasty relapses and wind up in hospitals again. The writing aspect--a lot of it is business-y. Few writers think of this, but it's not just, look I wrote a good book publish me. It's MUCH more complicated than that. The companies expect you to have a marketing plan and the agents sneer at you. So that's goal number three. Having a long-term girlfriend will be nice, and it seems like that's the easiest thing.

    It's a little spooky knowing I only want four things out of life by the time I am twenty-eight. Graduating from high school/college ties in with working for the law enforcement unit--they require a four-year degree from a university or college recognized by the US Department of Education. They also require a lot of other stuff. So I have a lot of work ahead of me.

    Ten years is a long time to consider. Currently I have a great partner, a good job and we in the process of moving to a better home. So overall I'm reasonably content with things as they are now. My social life is a bit limited but that's sortable (I'm just waiting for the smoking ban in public places next month as that will make pubs more pleasant for me).

    So what do I want in 10 years? More of the same really. I work in IT and website design, so who knows where that will be in 10 years time, but hopefully I will be able to keep up with it! Probably the main thing that I hope am still in good health. I hope my mum will still be around (her health is beginning to deteriorate but nothing serious yet). My sister's kids will have left school, so I hope they both get good jobs that they enjoy, and have fallen in love by then.

    That's it, really.

    I'd like to be in a long term relationship with someone I love, or at least HAVE been in one.

    Have some kind of job/career that I enjoy, because right now I am completely stuck with what I want to do career-wise.

    Be financially comfortable, I'm not bothered about being rich as long I can afford to live and be happy.

    Have moved out of my parents house.
