They slip away across the universe
Today was kinda boring. I stayed home all day and although I coulda gone out I didn’t really feel like it. To kill time early this evening, I saw The Bone Collector in HBO. I’m not really one for detective/crime movies but that was pretty good. One thing’s for sure: I am never, ever riding a taxi alone unless I have a gun with me or something. I want a peaceful death, thank you very much. While I was watching it, I felt torn between feeling thankful that that kind of stuff never happens to me and wishing that that kind of stuff would happen to me so that my life would be a tad more exciting. I feel the exact same way when I play games like Resident Evil 3. It would be so cool, spending my entire day running away from and shooting at zombies. Then again, I’m such a big scaredy-cat. I’ll probably lose my cool and get eaten up, should that happen to me in real life. Thank God games are only games.
I once toyed with the idea of becoming a forensic detective because it seemed like the coolest and most exciting job in the world (I’ve been watching too much of those crime documentary thingies in Discovery Channel). But when we dissected a frog for Biology in sophomore year, I knew that I would be the worst forensic detective in the entire world. I damn nearly threw up–all those insides looked so disgusting! All shiny and squishy…I couldn’t stand looking at it for more than two seconds. What more with an actual human body? Maybe I’ll just stick to becoming a journalist. Hopefully I’ll get to do interesting stories and not boring politics crap.
I just realized that my summer’s almost half-over. Four weeks from now I will be a high school senior.

Hmmm, you have HBO? Can you see the show “Sex and the City?” heh It’s such a funny show.
I would be an awful forensic detective because when I dissect, I also do it wrong. All the body parts get chopped up so badly, you cannot tell what it is.
I always get taxis home by myself after babysitting. The taxi people are really nice and never make me pay because they think i’m about 13 or 14.
They won’t let us dissect anything in biology, other than worms. Wasn’t really that bad, I quite enjoyed it. :oÞ
