Dang it.

Don't send me off on that wild goose chase.

Since I was a little kid, I've thought, "When I grow up, I'm going to Hollywood to find fame and fortune."

Never did it. Never had the nerve.

Forgot about a lot of the dreams that I had when I was a kid. Then a few months ago, I ran into someone I had been BFFs with in junior high. We chatted for a few minutes.

She said, "Did you ever become a writer?"

Yes.

She said, "Did you ever become a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live'?"

Nope. I had forgotten about that one. Sure, it's NYC instead of LA. But the dreams were there long ago.
