Diamond ring, and of course I'll say yes. After the wedding, 2 years later, I'll get pregnant and we'll have two identical twin girls- named Riley and Stephanie. They'll be girly, smart, and GORGEOUS. We'll have a boy three years later, named Troy (in honor of the now old guy yet still so cute Zac Efron a.k.a.

Unfortunately, mom and dad get worried : ( I just like finding cute names, like dad said, I want my ENTIRE life planned out by 15. When my oldest first sibling is born, I'll buy a brown rosetted bengal cay girl named Amari and a beautiful golden Retriever named Akeelah (Keelie) , and when my youngest is 2, I'll buy two Brittany spaniels ( a certain WONDERFUL breed of dog, we have a awesome Brittany puppy right now named Lilliana Maybelle DoofusDog and she is so beautiful and smart) , a girl and a boy named Lizzy and Ritsy. On their 1st birthday, I'll breed them and keep one of the females and name it Dizzy. I'll only breed the doggies though if they are thoroughly healthy and well enough to breed and meet the breed standard. I'll sell their puppies for $575, but they will be the best Brittanys available in Alaska! When my kids move out, or the youngest like 9 or +, Tyler and I will foster kids for however long they need.

“Ok, I know it's sad, but here's what I picture: A lonely, depressed woman, single with no children, happiness broken from all the bad things that have happened, including her crushed dream of becoming a famous actress. She is only moderately rich, and the money is from what she makes writing her sad stories under the pen name Sapphire Callion. That is how I picture myself when I am grown.”
--NyaingMiaKitty, 11

“I don't have movie star dreams, drooling over actors (Sprouse Bros or Jesse McCartney). I do though have a dream to stick up for myself and live my so-called simple dreams. Yes I know getting Cole Sprouse as a friend or possibly getting to even to talk to him is a stretch for other girls, but I think he is a cool guy and I think that would be perfect cuz we share the exact interests. Please make sure Cole writes me back so my dream can come true. JUST THIS ONE!!!”

“Definitely going to college at either University of Texas or University of Pennsylvania. Then I will go to law school (I don't know where). When I get married, I will marry Dustin, a guy who was a Leader-in-Training at my camp this year, and is only 4 years older than I am. It will be this whole big June wedding with lots of people. I will wear a down-to-the-floor strapless dress, and the reception would be outdoors. Then, when I am about 28, we will move to Garland, Texas (it's a suburb of Dallas to the uneducated) and have a family (1 boy, 2 girls). Our first kid, a boy, will be named Caleb Samuel. Then our two girls will be named Ruby Elizabeth and Alyssa Margaret. Of course they would be beautiful kids, and I would be a good mom. This part is a bit random, but Ruby will have straight brown hair w/ bangs and always wear it in braids or a ponytail, and Caleb and Alyssa would have curly blonde hair. We would have a golden retriever named Nellie and all the kids will love playing with her. Our house will be big because we will have a lot of money. But I would teach my kids to be charitable because there will be people less fortunate than myself. We will also have some property in Arizona for when my husband and I retire. And there's my grown-up self for you IMLers!!! Also: ShiShi (10), I agree with you. Sure, for us girls there is the giving birth part, but for me it would be worth it.”

“At the start of adulthood, I picture myself as I am now, but striving for a Master's Degree in a science and/or foreign language at a good college near my home. I see myself diligently working on my academics, a part-time job (probably an internship), and personal relationships. I also think of myself as a single, rather than part of a couple; however, no objections shall arise if I turn out to have found someone to fill the vacancy during this part of my life (and perhaps for much time after this). Oh yes, and I can always dream for a black Holland Lop with the nickname of Shadow. Whether that dream comes true, only time shall reveal that answer.”

And some people just don't go to the theatre, so they can see me on screen! KittyKat (8): actually, my dream is not stupid. And neither is anyone else’s.

“I am going to get married, have kids (I want four) go to the missions field, and incorporate music and drama in our ministry. Hey KittyKat, no offense, but I think u should let people dream whatever they want. So what if they don't become famous? Let people reach for the stars if they want.”
--Grace

“How do u guys, (HarryPotter, JS, Mohammad,) get posted all the time? I just found this site and haven't gotten anything posted yet.

“Ok I am Tabitha again I decided I would like to have 4 kids. The first would be Hannah Alisha. She would have blonde hair and blue eyes like me. Than my second would be Joshua Brayden and he would have black hair blue eyes like my future husband Timothy Brandon. His name is like mine. Everybody calls him Brandon. My name is Tabitha Brooke but everyone calls me Brooke. My third would be Lydia Alexis. She would have black hair and blue eyes. And then I would have Jerimiah Bradley. He would be blonde with blue eyes. Then my husband and I will move to San Jaun Capistrano and start a church there.

“I'll be married, of course, to the GORGEOUS Zac Efron (the guy from 'High School Musical'). Our wedding will be like a huge ceremony/reception in June and EVERYONE will be there (and Vanessa Ann Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale would also be bridesmaids). We will first live in Los Angeles, and our first girl, Kayla Lorraine, will be born there. Then when she is 18 months old we will move to San Diego. Our other kids will be born there, Corbin Patrick and Keenan Thomas. We will definitely live in a mansion with a 5-acre backyard for the kids to play in. When we retire, we will buy some property in Key West (where we went on our honeymoon) to go to. Even though it's mostly warm in Southern California, I would love a house in Florida too.”
--Via, 13

“I mailed already, but I have a different picture now. I'll be married, either on the red carpet or a doctor. I think I will have kids, and about 3-4.

“I imagine myself as a normal adult, fairly pretty with green eyes, and short, curly chestnut hair, and 5.6 feet tall. I'd get married at 22 and have my first child at 23. I'll be married to the perfect man, Jake, with brown eyes, brown hair, and tall. I will have 4 kids, 2 girls and 2 boys. My eldest girl will be named Kyla with black hair and blue eyes. She'd be my reader and a melancholy. My next eldest will be a boy named Scott with brown hair and green eyes. He wouldn't be an EXTREMELY energetic boy, but fairly active. He'd also be a choleric. My next will be another boy named Daniel with blonde hair and brown eyes. He'd be my troublemaker. He'd be a sanguine. They my youngest would be named Lilly with red hair, and green eyes. She'd be my girly girl and a seguin. Kyla will be 13, Scott 11, Daniel 9, and Lilly 7. We'd live in a fairly nice home, girls sharing a room and boys sharing another. Of course my husband and I will share. We will live on two acres outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. We shall have 8 chickens, 1 rooster, 2 cats, and a chocolate lab. I will raise our kids to be productive and smart and kind. They'll go to a Christian school. I will be a writer/stay at home mom. My husband will be a real estate agent. I will become a bestselling author and go to church often, and donate to missionaries…”
--Cole

"HarryPotter: Yeah, that's a good idea, but IML probably wouldn't be able to do it. It's a really sensitive area for some people, you know? They wouldn't want to offend anyone. For the record, I wouldn't be offended, and I do think it's pretty cool. What religion are you? I'm Catholic."

"I would be a novelist and a doctor. I would be treating people who have been affected by natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis.

"Hi, HarryPotter. About the 'Creep' thing... I used to have a recurring nightmare when I was in first grade, and my school guidance counselor told me to draw it or write about it and then tear the paper up and throw it in the fire. That may help you. If a lot of time goes by and you're still scared, try talking to a therapist, or a school guidance counselor. Hope that helps!"
--Dragonmistress, 12

"No Mohammed, I don't know JS at all (personally). JS lives in New Jersey, and I live on Long Island (New York). I dunno what state DragonMistress lives in. BTW, it's easy to get known on IML! Just post what you wanna say, what you wanna do, WHATEVER! People will agree or disagree. Either way, you'll be noticed on IML."
--HarryPotter, 12

"Welcome to IML, Mohammad. No, we don't know each other in real life, but I wish I knew them. It looks like you're off to a great start getting known, because you're at almost every You Said It question I see. Glad to meet a new IMLer!"

"I would be something that had to do with learning or books. I would have a nice husband. I wouldn't care how I looked. My husband and I would have good jobs and we would donate as much money as possible to charities. I would adopt as many kids as possible. That would be me."

If I have enough money, I would open up a free learning center, build houses for kids in war, and open a lot of charity funds. I don't want my kids to be in danger, so I wouldn't live in the big cities. I would live in a suburb, probably somewhere in California. Oh yeah, if I'm famous, I WOULD NEVER BE ARROGANT!!"

Roll with me here people! How does that idea sound?"

It makes sense that we should be a little afraid of people like him, but if Iím right, you live in New Jersey, like me, don't you? ëCreepí lives in Neverland, and doesn't even know you exist. I know this can't stop your fear, but if you think of this every time you get ready to freak out, eventually you can overcome your nightmares. Good luck! By the way, where's Dragonmistress, lately? I haven't heard from her."

"SweetiePie (13): keep off of David Radford. He's so totally MINE!!!!!!! Ha-ha just kidding. U can do whatever u want. FUTURE PLAN: My plan is to go to college at Duke University or McGill University (in Montreal), and then to law school at Yale. Then I will marry David Radford (see SweetiePie's recent post for who he is), and 150 people will be there. Of course, it will be in June, and the reception will be outside somewhere. Then we will move to a suburb of Chicago (because a suburb is a good place to raise kids) and have 3 kids: Madalynn Leigh, Kirsten Sierra, and Luke Christopher. Our house will be big and comfy, and it will have a pool in the backyard and a nice patio. And then when our kids move out, we will move to Florida or Arizona."

But I'll definitely be involved politically - I love making statements, and can never keep quiet about my opinions. I'll probably be protesting at coat factories, or outside the White House for something concerning women's rights. Check the news for me!"

"This has nothing to do with my grown-up self, but can someone help me (DragonMisstress might be able to)? I have become a Mikeaphobic. Don't know what a Mikeaphobic is? Mikeaphobia is the fear of Michael Jackson (SHIVER! I will just call him, 'creep'). Anyway, I had this dream that my family was eating Caeser salad and garlic bread for dinner. Suddenly, a gush of Caesar dressing rains down from the ceiling. All of my family but myself holds up an umbrella. My parents and siblings tell me to take a shower. The doorway to the staircase upstairs is blocked, so I have to go between this curly-haired woman who's talking to 'creep'. Then, 'creep', trips me, and I fall to the ground, and crawl to the staircase. When I get to the upstairs bathroom, I head towards the shower, but out of nowhere, 'creep', steps in front of me. I stepped away, and waited outside the door, because Iím pretty sure NOBODY would like to see 'creep' without his clothes on. (:@) He's in the shower for about two minutes, and then he steps out in a bright scarlet suit with a wide-brimmed hat, and he is wearing his one glove. (ahhhh!) Then, he wrings out his hair RIGHT ON TOP OF ME! (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) Then I woke up. That dream still haunts me! Please help! "

"COLLEGE PLAN: I will go to Duke University or UC Berkeley and then go to grad school in London, England. MARRIAGE PLAN: I will marry Rupert Grint from the 'Harry Potter' films. There will be all sorts of family and friends there (200, maybe 300) and it will be beautiful. I will definitely wear a strapless gown and my bridesmaids will wear sky blue dresses. I even have first-dance songs picked out (which is a little bit weird). Then we will honeymoon in St-Tropez, France. FAMILY PLAN: After I have my job, husband, and house all settled down, I will have a family. I will have 3 kids. I don't know exactly what I'll name them, but I have ideas. My favorite names for girls are Elizabeth, Isobel, Lucy, Danielle, Emma, Tara, and Katharine. My favorite boys names are Daniel, Thomas, Michael, David, Bryan, Stephen, and Luke. My house will be a big, Victorian-style house in London or in a suburb of London. I really would love to live in England when I am grown up! And there you have it: MY FUTURE!!!!!

I know how much work it takes to have such a career, so Iím working toward it right now. I can see myself writing novels for teens and adults. I'll be a lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist in...hmm...a Christian rock band. Iím really religious (but Iím open to other religions besides Christianity), so I think a career having to do with my religion would be great.

Somebody has to be it, I could be! Iím not going to not marry someone, just because they aren't six two and dark haired, that's just how I picture him. Is it out of the realm of possibility that I have 2 boys and twin girls? Last time I checked, parents named kids, so I could name them anything I want to, and if I want to name them William, Matthew, Theresa and Catherine, I sure can! Is it an insane dream to want to live next door to my best friends? My mother lives next door to a lady she's been best friends with since she was 16. And hoping to open a small book store/tea room with my friends in our retirement is not insane. Since when has having ëtoo much of a planí made something ëno way on earthí that it will happen to me? Who died and gave you control of my fantasies? I'd appreciate you staying out of my head from now on."

This man will be Nick, the hottie who I beat in the spelling bee this year. We will have three kids: Chase Walter, Elysia Michelle, and Keenan Samuel. We will also have three cats named Mr. Snuffy (Elysia's idea), Homer (my idea), and Mingo (also my idea). There will be a dog (Golden Retriever) named either Shasta or Shelby, and goldfish named Army and Marine (Chase's idea). We will live in a big house, maybe a mansion, but I will be happy with a decent sized one. There will be a pool in our backyard and the neighborhood kids will come and swim.

I'll either get married to some redheaded Irish guy or not get married at all, and I'll have three kids - two adopted - Maia Sinead (not adopted), Lucy Acadia (adopted, name legally changed), and Chance ____ (probably adopted, first name legally changed, middle name is former first name). I'll still have my iPod, and I'll listen to A LOT of Beatles and Rolling Stones songs. By the way, Eliana (age 10, from the favorite song topic), I don't think you understand what it means when you're too young for a certain band or song. It means that it's like a parental advisory one (I don't know if My Humps is one of those). Lots of people under 18 like those older bands, and Iím one of those people. So Lidre (13), you're not alone. Although I don't really think that it matters if you're too young for a song, unless it's one where every other word is a curse."

We would have three beautiful children: Marisa Renee, Samara Katharine, and Aaron Patrick. They would be naughty sometimes, as most children are, but I would discipline them in a way that is fair to the situation. We would live in a nice house in a nice suburb, probably near Boston or Chicago. A suburb would be good because it's a good place to raise kids.

In a warm house with the scent of vanilla. One of those big, oversized homes. Like a country one, but close to the city. I have to be by the city. Sitting in my black leather reclining spinning chair at my desk with my computer, typing. One adopted little boy chasing the lab basset hound mix (a puppy though) and occasionally joining me for a good spinning chair of speed race (yes, I'll have two) across the extra buffed and waxed hardwood floor when I need some more ideas. My best friend would be my husband and he would be snoozing on the couch with the book review section of the newspaper (if there is one. If not, then the front page). My fantasy? No. My future? Definitely."

"Want descriptive? I'll give you descriptive. Let's take a possible scene: Iím around 35, and Iím sitting at a table in my kitchen. Around this kitchen are scissors, paper, glue, glitter, and other craft material, because my seven-year-old daughter, Maia, is a real arts-and-crafts kid. She is sitting on the table I am working at, reading a book about origami, while her black hair has bits of paper in it. My athletic five-year-old daughter, Chantel, is holding her baby brother, Aiden, at an arms-length away, because he needs his diaper changed. I am in the classic phone-against-ear-and-shoulder pose, speaking to a ferryboat system, because I am an actress on stage and my theatre company is performing in another city. Also, I am trying to restrain our Scottish terrier, McLangley, from biting the table. My hair, which has been dyed dark red, is getting frizzy. As for my husband, well, as for now, his face is blurred and I am not sure what he is doing. La la la."

I definitely would say Iím probably going to be a religious sister."
--Katie, 13

"I can see myself nowhere. I have no plans for my future. Iím a complete geek with no friends except for that creepy stalker chick that follows me around. The guy of my dreams is going out with the biggest jerk alive. And worse, she knows that I like him. My dad is an alcoholic and my older sister just moved into her boyfriendís apartment last month. And I canít help but think: will I end up like herÖ a high school dropout? Except I am not beautiful like her. It totally stinks being an ugly duck in a house full of swans and itís even worse when the swans pretend there is no difference. My family is falling apart, and mom is doing nothing to help it. No one can know how bad I want at least one friend. Or even just to go to church and learn about God. Maybe he loves me."

--Scott

"Currently, Iím a sophomore in high school. Iím kind of old here, but you're never too old to share things. I cannot picture my grown-up self just yet. Iím a perfectionist and I continuously change the picture. The only way I'd be able to see my grown-up self is when I've reached that stage, ha. Then again, one thing that has not changed in my vision is the fact that I want to go to college and learn to work with animals. Where I work doesn't matter, although I would prefer to be away from the city. I would appreciate being near my good friends, but sometimes you must move on, so I wish to make new good friends if and when I have to move. Whether I have a husband or children doesn't really matter as of now. It only matters if I find the right guy in the future (Possibly near future). He doesn't have to be perfect or have the name I love most in the present, he just has to love me back. :)."

"Cute (like I already am). Iíll have a more developed body, athletic body, and long hair. I already do have long hair (itís long but not that long, people just say itís long because Iím African American, Indian, Puerto Rican and a little Caucasian). I expect myself to look like that either in high school or college. I want to go to college and major in criminal justice. Iíll be something like a lawyer, crime investigator, or part of the CSI. I want to have a nice car, a nice apartment in my 20's or late teens (19). Later on Iíll get a house. I see myself being single for the most part, but maybe later getting a boyfriend. I want to move somewhere else to go to college, like Florida, Atlanta, or New York and other places like that. I know I will have good friends because we all want to go to the same college and live together. I also want to join a sorority. I will be a good student. And if me and my friends donít go to the same college, I can see myself making new friends and making long distance calls to talk to my other friends, and even taking road trips to see them.

If Disney ever does a remake of Sleeping Beauty, I think it would be awesome to play Maleficent (she was always my favorite character, and she has some incredible lines). That's probably my dream role, though that might change. If I can't make it as an actress, I plan to be a cosmetologist or fashion designer. Essentially, I want to work in fashion or performing arts.

"The future is a tough thing- it is so unpredictable. I have a lot of plans for my life- right down to the college I attend. I want to be a teacher and a writer. I want to be married and have kids and a nice house with nice neighbors. Deep inside us all, I believe we all see something remotely close to this. But our future is totally uncertain without the one thing that will always make it come out right: God. Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. With knowing that God is in control of it all, I can find peace and joy in absolutely any situation, whether it's serious or dumb and quirky, like getting stressed over a guy. The bottom line is that in the future, I see myself serving God. My relationship with him is real. He is who my life is lived for. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO meet him- MEET GOD(!) in heaven. How cool is that?"
