genuine

o, and by the way, what /is/ your favourite line?




something about my neighbors, the ones i teach, friendly little kids.
the one of them, i tell him to press strongly, right to the bottom of the key, so he gets down and does ten pushups for me. strongly, and right to the bottom.


and he asks me:

"who do you want to be when you grow up?"
"what do you mean?"
"who do you want to be when you grow up?"
"like, what do i want to /do/?"
"no, who do you want to be?"
~~and what do you say to that?~~

funny how the question we're always asking now is, "what do you want to do?".

.......................................................................

"who do you want to be when you grow up?"
- we're still not all growed up
- who? wow, where'd all those childish dreams gooo!?

so wait, you mean we're not all the way yet? and all those dreams and ambitions and strange little ideas we had as little kids are still valid?
he said: "i want to be a hockey player"

"i want to be a movie star"
"i want to be popular"
"i want to get married"
"i want to live in cuba cause its hot"
"i want to live in an appartment, on the top floor"
"i want to speak ten languages"
"i want to invent a car that flys, no...not a plane, a /car/, that flys"
"i want to teach this kindergarten class"
"i want to be famous"


so is that as crazy as we thought?
"id buy you a fur coat"

so who do you want to be?

i want to be, - - - - - its harder than you think.

I don't like it when people ask me what I want to be but my ideas are so vague these days.

lastnight someone asked me an awkward question. i don't know why it was awkward it was just awkward at the time.
"so lysha, do you like to sing?"
ha I don't know why it was awkward!! but it oddly was.

I dunno. That's what I say.

Things I want to be that I'm not already: a wife... a university student... a proffessional *somehow*... or an entrepreneur... oOOOH a proffessional writer!!! and maybe some sort of artist in like poetry or music or art (tho... yet again it's in the air not down here)... a mother since i decided it's novel to be one now, hehehehe, i like being things lots/most people don't want to be (when i was a little younger, like a year or two, i was the only one who was anti-stay-at-home or that said that anyway), and i want to shock the world and change the world so be a hero??? :P not a celebrity cuz that's fame for no reason, but sure, famous, why not? and uhhh i'd like to be a tourist (travel), a missionary (cuz i dont have to be one in some jungle, i could do it anywhere), a photographer... etc. and yno! i just switched from saying i want to do this to i want to be a person who does this.

hmmm your blog provokes me a lot lately. encourages me to ramble. fun.
