It's "I Can See The Future" Friday MKF! 11

[tommo]

Well; I haven't posted a daily thread in oh-so-long, so I thought I'd do one today.

Given the way that things have turned out with Willow and Tara, it makes me think back to the old days, when everything was new. When the Kitten Board was new and we were all just waiting with bated breath to see what would happen next with our girls. I think my nostalgia is springing from getting the Season 5 DVDs. I'd forgotten how much I really enjoyed some of the episodes from that season, and how, when I was watching them at the time, I could never have even contemplated how things would turn out.

But you see, lately, I've also been re-establishing myself in this thing called life. Odd, really. I suppose a turning point of sorts has taken place. I'm looking at all sorts of wonderful opportunities for the future, and only some of them include lady pirates; naked lady pirates, and naked lady pirates with swords. Ahem.

So, in my whole consideration of where I am now and where I was...uh, previously, I suppose I wish that in some ways I'd been able to see what was going to happen. There'd have been a whole lot of angst diverted, that's for sure, heh heh. Anyhoo, now I'm wishing I could see myself in five years, because I get the feeling that if I could, I'd be literally leaping up and down with unexpressed joy.

So, I suppose my question is twofold really:

Where do you think Willow and Tara saw themselves in five years hence from the moment they got back together in "Entropy"?

Where do you, or where would you like to see yourself in five years?

Anyone that says "in your bed, Ruth" won't have to wait five years.

Happy All Saints Day, by the way. For those of you who are of a left-footed persuasion.

[Rosenberg]

My version of the future? Well, in your bed of course, Ruth.

        As for Willow and Tara, I dont think their vision of the future involved a blood-splattered shirt and someones heart being literally blown out. I think it would probably involve them living together, continuing their education and moving out into the working world and fighting the good fight against the forces of evil.

[snuggle79]

I think Willow and Tara would live happily in a nice house outside of Sunnydale, away from everything bad and evil.
They would be having good jobs, which they love.
Just a normal, healthy life without any crap going on...

Where do i see myself in 5 years?...hm..i really hope that i'm not living at my parent's house in 5 years anymore and that I'm finally knowing what i want from life and what kind of job fits to me. I didn't like my life that much in the last 8 months and i really hope that i'm going to be much more determined in the future...in every decision i'll have to make.
Oh and having a gf to live with and go through life would be nice too..um yeah.

[rduffy24]

Gosh ruth, you're going to need a big bed for everyone to join you in !

I think Willow and Tara would be happy having graduated and maybe gone travelling. Willow would settling down to a job, maybe something technical or in research, but Tara would be maybe teaching or counselling.

[Grimaldi]

where do i see myself in 5 years? hopefully i will have a better job than i have now, more money and a girlfriend.

as for Willow and Tara, i think they will be happily married with kids, just enjoying life and each other

[Tsia]

Heh - I'm all for the girlfriend in five years, but I don't find it likely

I'd like to see myself in some kind of art school in around 5 years, doing something worthwhile that will get me a good, creative job

Willow and Tara would probably have seen themselves happy, prosperous - maybe with a child, in their own beeg house. Oh, if only! If only!

[theatremouse]

well, i'm at college right now, but hanging heavily in my head is the fact that this bussiness we call show bites you in the ass for not crawling towards it as soon as possible....that in mind, that in my mind for the last 19 years, today actually, i was sitting in a logic lecture doing the math of how i could finish school in two years, to then be totally devoted to being shot down at auditions, and being another poor unemployed actor in los anageles. which is a really happy thought for me. cuz i dont like to attempting both at once, and thusly being committed to neither.
so i'd like to say, whatever happens now, in five years, i hope i've successfully walked away from college, either via graduating, or not, and gone to LA, and that i wil at the point be a full time actor. not neccessarily hired, or playing a role, or working at all, but being there, and being that. it's the only way i'm ever spiritually satiated.
also, a certain girl who has a lot on her plate intended to go out there with me for a while, and try her hand at that too. at least try, for a while, but not permanently. so let's hope in five years, we're together, and doing that. me, grounded in that being my forever, and her, with me and and doing that for the time she has decided to.
and then moving forward from there. together. at least half of us actors.

peace.

PS: oh, and me having finishing writing one of these blasted movies i've been working on. something finished.

editing blasted typos.....

[Zippy]

I read the title of the thread and all I could think of was creme eggs, I've seen the future and it's egg shaped! Mmm pity they don't sell them at this time of year!

I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago, five years ago I was dropping out of med. school, because a few months there had made me realise I wouldn't be able to cut it as a doctor. I hadn't got a clue what I wanted to do with my life anymore. So I panicked & jumped onto the first science degree which would accept me so late in the 1st term. I then spent the next three years wondering if I'd done the right thing. The course lead to my current job, now I am settled & to be honest I can't imagine myself doing any other type of work.
So in five years time, I'd like to see myself doing the work that I do now but for a supermarket rather than an independent, as the prospects are better. I'd also like to have a girlfriend, one that I can actually keep!

Willow & Tara were probably just thinking about being together forever.

[mollyig]

Willow had it all mapped out. Tara would teach. Willow would have her own software company so she could take time off whenever Tara was free, and they'd go off travelling the world together. [img:70cff150f5]http://homepage.eircom.net/~mollyig/heart.gif[/img:70cff150f5]

Me in five years. Well, I'll be in the same job, 5 years closer to my pension. And strangely enough this thought comforts rather than scares me. I must be getting old! [img:70cff150f5]http://homepage.eircom.net/~mollyig/winkgreen.gif[/img:70cff150f5]

[Spice Faerie]

Okay, Willow and Tara probably saw themselves finished with college, in a house of their own, married a child on the way and VERY VERY VERY happy.

Me, I'll most likely be teaching Special Education either here in upstate New York or in Vermont, living in a cute little apartment full of plants with my cat and hopefully with a Tara-like girlfriend...that would be nice.

Spice

Here's to wishful thinking...

[La]

In five years, I will perhaps be settled into a job that i will have been doing for about 2 years (since I'll supposedly be graduating grad school in 3 years) and be thinking about having babies.

Willow and Tara would be finished with college and living in a little cottage far awhile from Sunnydale and all the ghoulies and ghosties.

[VampNo12]

For W&T I can see them living in their own house, married with a child. They will still be involved in the "good fight" with the scooby gang, but will also have their own jobs with Willow either a college professor or having a thriving software company, and I see Tara as a child psychologist.

As for me in 5 years hopefully I will be practicing law. Right now I am interning at a prosecutor's office, so criminal law is where I am leaning towards.

[BoredNow99]

I thought I'd wait until after I opened my bottle of wine before I got all large with the philosophical

As I don't know where I'll be five days down the line, five years is a bit of a stretch for me.

I'm currently applying for a new job that would see me leave general news reporting behind for good. It's kind of a big step. Very adult like.

But in general, I guess all I can hope for is that the next five years holds happy times.

Not those everyday, run of the mill "sure I'm happy" moments. I mean those little snapshot moments where you know you're perfectly happy, that you wouldn't change a thing in that second.

They tend to be rare and precious but I'm greedy. I'd like more of 'em

[Hanki]

i just saw Four Star Mary they're an awesome band live, i'm off to find money to buy their new cd now

as for the daily question... hopefully in five years time i will be a successful muscian with my band but i know thats not likely to happen, lol.

[TigerEye]

In five years I wanna be able to play the guitar and be a Musician of sorts. But I know that probably won't happen so I'll probably have a tattoo palour in a backstreet of town somewhere, lol.

I think that when Willow and Tara kissed in Entropy that they felt this magickal spark and they knew they would be together forever and that nothing could ever come between them again. And until those last moment od Seeing Red, I think that's what they thought too.

But hey life doesnt always turn out the way we want and we should be grateful for what we have. Whoa that got all depressy.

[Dumbsaint]

Being of a slightly superstitious nature, I tend not to like to say out loud, much less write down, the kinds of things I wish for myself in the future. But I will say this much. Hee.

I see pirates. Naked-from-the-waist-up lady pirates. With shiny, shiny buckles on their boots.

[MadeinNZ]

I've been reading too much fanfic cause all the Willow/Tara scenarios I can think of have been written on the Pens Board. Suffice to say it involves happiness, laughing, and hot monkey sex.

Me in five years? Um ... I'd like to start up my own business and know the love of a good woman (or Ruth even). So for me - happiness, laughing and hot monkey sex.

[relativegirl]

Oh lordy I do love these waxing philosophical questions . . . I think Willow and Tara would see Willow still in school because it takes a monstrously long time to go from being a junior in college to completing your PhD and Tara working as some sort of therapist for abused children. Most importantly, I think they would focus on the home they built together and the lives they learned to weave together.

As for myself, gosh I just can't think of anything better 5 years down my road than being able to kick back on the couch and enjoy naked from the waist up lady pirates. Preferably while snuggling with my own naked from the waist up lady. Yeah, that'd be rather sweet and lovely I think.

This week I filled out an application for my first passport. So 5 years from now I'd like to be staring down at my passport and realize that I've traveled so much that I've filled up all the available pages with stamps from the various countries I've visited. 'Specially those countries prone to lady pirate hauntings.

[WiccansIllusion]

Ruth, add another to your bed?


as for myself in five years. Hell I can't even see where I'll be next week. Who knows.

As for Willow and Tara, I think it's all already been said.

[Arwen]

Ruth, hey sexy lady!

being ofthe superstitious nature myself, I'm only going to say that all I can look forward to right now is my week off of work, I'm leaving for Ottawa to visit my brother in two hours! Woo hoo!

Tara and Willow I can see still lapping in the luxury of smoochieville, with a nice little magickal house, and lots of happy snugglin'.

[KISMIC]

Well Willow and Tara I think would have seen themselves together in five years, married (any other equivalent if CA doesn't allow that) and living together in an older-style house. Willow would either have become something to do with computers or, funnily enough, followed in the footsteps of her mother and become a psychologist (why else did they do all the psych classes?). Tara would have her own little shop, "Herbs, Spices & Every Nice-s", but would be standing up for particular issues on the side.

As for myself in five years, well I'd have graduated, hopefully have gotten to Sydney, studied at Uni/Tafe after FINALLY figuring out what I want to be, working somewhere and finally *prays silently* have moved out of home to anywhere else! Small goals, but important!

*~Kristy~*

[tommo]

Heh. So my gratuitously whorish plan to collect kittens finally worked...

You know, I realised I didn't answer my own question yesterday. Oh well. I don't like to jinx anything by being too specific. But you know, shiny buckles on something leather might be nice.

[drlloyd11]

Ruth:Englands goodwill ambassador to the world...
I see Willow in research or software, turning her knowledge of cybernetics (the buffy bot, her hacking, etc) and chemistry to good use (i.e Money). I can definatly see good things for her and her Tara
I like the idea of Tara working as a counciler to abused children, trying to make sure no one has her life growing up.
And you know, I see her wanting children.. The idea of tara having a daughter, the first in her line in years not imagine she is a demon or something awful but just a little girl, seems like a kind of revenge on her family that only living well can provide.

ok, way too sappy.
sorry

[Dumbsaint]

*reads Brad's post and gets a lil sniffly*

I love you, Brad.

[Ittybittykitty]

I too am misty eyed at Brad's post.
