My Dream Job

Growing up every little child has a dream future. Girls want to be vets or princesses and boys want something exciting like super hero. I however was different. When I was a little girl I wanted to be a sailor scout. Yes that's right, I wanted to save the world along side Sailor Moon, protecting innocent people from the dangerous monsters while sporting a short skirt and talking cat friend.

Being Sailor Mercury was always my dream. Who wants to be a princess when you can be saving everyone from the evil of the "Dark Kingdom".

For christmas my sister, cousin, and I would open our sailor moon themed presents and wield them in our little hands excited to fend off the bad guys with our new found super powers. Other days we'd take our sailor moon stickers and promptly stick them on my dad's bass guitar. It is still covered in the same faded stickers depicting the all to familiar faces of what I once wanted to be.

Why the trip down memory lane? I recently watched the series and thought "You know what? I still want to be sailor Mercury." Some dreams just never die. Who wouldn't want to be a smart female saving the world with her bestfriends? It's an interesting thought no?

So as I pack for the up coming trip I grab my discs hoping I can get a spare 24 minutes to dive back into the fantasies of my 5 year old brain with my old "friends." Saving the world one bad guy at a time.

I leave in less than 33 hours and with my insane fear of planes it won't be fun. Here's hoping my dive back into my childhood helps.
