I Ate Ice-Cream Today

I would like to:

1. Go into space. Yes, I would.

2. Walk through a British (see what I did there? Don't want to restrict myself to just England) field, rich with morning dew until my jeans and socks are wet.

3. Have three beautiful children and name them atrocious names so they hate me when they grow up. But then we they turn 18, they will realize that yeah, I named them Peatendril, Fallaytio and Simpy but I loved them throughout and gave them these names so they would be unique and special.

4. Eat 1L of ice-cream... In one sitting. That's right, folks. One sitting. In addition to the various Oreos, ice-magic and the rest of it that will be accompanying this atrocity.

5. Save someone from imminent death. Whether pushing them from the path of an incoming car, resuscitating them after drowning or delivering them a delightful back blow to their choky self, damnit, I will save someone and they will LOVE me.

6. Tell someone I haven't met yet that I love them.

7. Eat bugs. I hear fried crickets are the most palatable. Full of protein. I would just stay away from the ones that Bear eats. Seriously, he seems to always pick the ones that spurt out pus-resembling-squirty-stuff when bitten into.

8. Swim in the ocean. Properly. With a oxygen tank and flippers (flippers are actually amazing, I used to swim with them in swimming class and they make you go so fast. I was so out of control that I hit my head into the wall at the other end because I didn't realize what a stud I was). And a bikini. And a dolphin.

9. Have a pet. I'm being realistic here. Chances are I won't move to some gorgeous farm in rural Canada or UK and get three dogs named Ducky, Puppy and Woofy. But I will own a dog (or at least some other pet) one day and, damnit, I will love it more than any other domesticated animal has ever been loved before (that should not sound dirty)!

10. Go iceskating on an icy pond.

11. Hug Taylor Swift.

12. Pick a cockroach up in my bare hand. This is kind of a stupid one but I would like to one day. We keep an apron on a hook on the inside of the pantry door. The other day, the edge of the apron was caught in the shut door. It was dark and I thought it was a massive cockroach and let out a terrific squeal.

That's about it for now. Hope you had a nice Monday. I love you.
