我的夢想是...

I know it's very rare for a girl to think of something like this, but this was my one and only childhood dream, or is it still...?

I wanted to be a pirate since too long ago. I don't know why, but I was very attracted to adventure after seeing Disney movies and reading stories like Treasure Island. I remember I was fascinated with maps, I always beg my dad to draw different maps for me of the community we lived in, or I would doodle my own bizarre shapes and walk around with them with huge binoculars dangling on my hips, thinking I was looking for valuables. Other times I would dress in towels and rags and climb around the house with a huge cotton pack. Once on Halloween I dressed up as a pirate too, and I was so disappointed that we weren't allowed to bring fake swords to school; that ruined my whole style!

When I was in elementary school, I was obsessed with pirate novels, or anything about 16th century English sailors. However I did not like the Pirates of the Caribbean, don't ask me why. Anyway, during highschool I had to put away with these so called childish dreams; though I still talked to Anna and Ariel about pirates often.

Today, I saw a 1995 film Cutthroat Island I'm guessing? couldn't remember the exact title, but it starred Geena Davis, yes, I'm pretty sure that was her. Anyway, She's a Caribbean pirate in there, leading a whole group of male pirates, and she later fell in love with a physician/thief while she was treasure hunting. Anyway, that once again reminded me of my dream career. It would be awesome if I could be a queen pirate with a monkey.. well I want to replace the monkey with a raccoon, hanging on my arms, and surrounded by so many men bowing to me, under my command.

Anyway, enough of this.., must get back to studying the command economy of the Soviet Union..
