When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Why?

I've had this chat before with Vincent ,
and we've both agreed what I wanted to be when I was a kid was pretty gay, less gay as I got older though.
I wanted to be a fashion designer - course at that time I didn't use the term 'fashion designer' instead, I'd just tell people (my mum) I'd like to make clothes. As a kid, I was actually aware of what people were wearing, or which colour should go with which, and was more picky than my young peers on what I wanted to wear everyday to school. Why? obviously when I was a kid I wouldn't know why, it'd just appealed to me. As time moved on (pre-teen to teen years) I found myself cutting up t-shirts, jeans, teaching myself how to sew, read a lot of books about fashion and constantly updating myself with what's going on in the fashion world, I became more passionate/a bit obssessed and discovered it is one of my strongest passions and sadly, dream - sad because I know it might not be fulfilled *still hoping for the right opportunity though*
But yup, no doctor, no lawyer, no scientist or astronaut when I was a child, but a fashion designer. lol

Um, I'll do last weeks topic as well even though I wasn't really into it since I don't like my name(s) in general since they sound / meanings are very passive and I actually wanted my brothers name (Samuel) or a more fierce name.

Kevin, (old Irish Caoimhghín or Caemgen), is a male first name of Irish origin. Kevin is not a biblical name. Kevin is believed to be derived from the Irish coem "kind, gentle, and handsome" and gein "birth".

My asian name, where only my family time to time would use is Hien or Minh Hien (but it's never that formal) and it means bright, smart (Minh), and kind, gentle, nice (Hien), it's also a unisex name. Supposedly my grandfather named me and died shortly after, so I've never met him.
So basically my parents and grandparent (s) ? wanted me to be a smart, bright, kind, gentle, nice, handsome being. *smirk*

That's all.
