Description I remember staring at myself in the mirror.
On more than several occasions.
I used to be really into dinosaurs.
Brontosauras was my favourite.
I used to stretch out my neck as far as I could,
in the mirror,
seeing how long it was.
Maybe I could be a brontosauras.
Until I read about Botticelli's Venus.  Criticising the unnaturally extended neck.
And I never did that again.
I remember practicing touching my tongue to my nose.
One day, in third grade, I did it.
Practive. I didn't for awhile
And I've never been able to again.
I remember looking at a beach full of jellyfish.
Most dead, some dying.
And moving them with a stick, back into the water.
I always wondered how many survived.
I remember using snailshells as money
in Minitown.  I used to make my sister kiss snails.
Love all creatures, I said
Then I moved, and I never saw snails again.

ah, dinosaurs. i had that obsession as well.. had this binder full of facts and pictures and magazines, all dinosaurs. then i had this glow in the dark, i dunno.. fossil thing.. like the ones you see in museums. y'know, the whole skeleton. and that kinda creeped me out, cause it was glow in the dark.. i think that's where it ended.. sorry about the pointless story.

It draws up a lot about your past. I like how you mentioned Botticelli and brontosaurus in the same concept. Sign of being adept at creative writing.

it was awesome. Lemony Snicket was amazing the plot and the artistic merit, very awesome. We also saw Meet the Fockers which was hilarious but it was more obvious laughs and stuff, it wasnt thought provoking at all which made me mad. And the restaraunt that he works at is really good, I got clam chowder and it was yummy...
