Wow, that thread is older than my account!

For my answer: fuck being realistic. I'm going full dream life.

I'm gonna be an actor. Gonna be a musician. Probably a writer. Maybe a professor. Definitely working at a radio station in some capacity. Definitely speaking/writing/reading German on the regular, maybe translating stuff for $$$.

Ideally I'll have a romantic partner. Right now I'm surrounded with people that see me as the really smart kid-- not exactly the most dateable archetype. But in two years there'll be people my age around here, so eh?

I maybe wanna live in Austin again after college. Just for a couple years. Then who knows? Germany?

Have you been here before?

Austin? I grew up there, but I came to NY for college.

Oh, I should've specified. I meant Germany!

How is Austin though, I don't know much about it except that it's in Texas

Oh haha no, I've not been to Germany, but I'm hoping to study abroad in Freiburg during my junior year!

Austin is a weird island of liberals and musicians in the middle of Texas's conservatives and I love it.

Ah, Freiburg is so very pretty! Also literally the hottest place in Germany.

Too many fucking people I find it impossible at the moment.

Even by bicycle in the moonlight, which was always my preferred mode of experience.

I moved.

I'm also not galen.
