Hint! I don't really know where I will want to live but I'll make up some places at least. ;)

OK, now it's time for the "Crystal ball" (sorry for the lameness D:)

1. Circleville, Ohio
2. Chillicothe, Ohio

• • xP Notice.... ↑ • •

3. Paris, France
4. Ummmm..... somewhere in Ireland. xD

1.
If I were in Circleville, Ohio I would have a wonderful house by a little pond and a huge yard and the house would be the size of a mansion and I would own a huge stable of horses and on the inside of the house will have blue carpeting and pure white tile along my room would have a bunch of horse posters and a big queen size bed to sleep in. I would have other rooms and they would have one maid to keep all of the rooms clean. Oh yes and the backyard will have a pool and a HUGE slide.

2. If I were to have a house in Chillicothe, Ohio it would be similar but not the same. I would have a smaller house and it would still be awesome though. I would have a basement and it will have rosy red carpeting and a plasma screen T.V. There would be an Ipod radio with all of my favorite music and a blue couch plus the walls won't be cement, they would be the same color as the flooring. My first floor would have similar stuff but not a plasma and a kitchen and a dining room. On the second floor would be my room and various others. My backyard would also be huge and would have a big horse barn and a swimming pool.

3. If I were to have a house in Paris it would be in an apartment building and my horses would all be boarded in my stable on the outskirts of Paris. I wouldn't have a backyard but the inside of my house will have elegant flooring and wall-paper and a plasma screen T.V. of course and there would be a huge couch in the living room. My room would be very cozy and nice, there would be horse posters all over my room. My condo would be on the bottom of the building (that's the best spot you can get!).

4. If I were to live somewhere in Ireland I would live out in the green country with all of my horses in a huge stable in my backyard and a pool. In my house I'll have everything that I have in my other houses except there would be a lot of beautiful green and sky blue.

Occupations
1. Famous horse rider person
2.
Famous horse rider person
3. Chef and Famous horse rider person
4. THIS TIME I AM NOT A FAMOUS HORSE RIDER PERSON!! This time I'm a chef!

Mercury: Hermes, Messenger of the Gods.

Minerva: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.

Neptune: Poseidon, God of the Ocean/Water

Venus: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love/Beauty
