[1] be invisible or be able to fly?: Flying... that would be awesome.

[2] be rich or good looking:? Rich. I really want to be rich. Would make life so much easier.

[3] small and fast or strong and slow?: Small and fast.

[4] have a lightsaber or a hoverboard?: Hoverboard. Sounds a lot more useful than a lightsaber. What could I do with it? Slice my bread?

[5] read minds or have a time machine?: Read minds... time machine... Oh my. The choices. Reading minds tempts me terribly, but I guess I'd be afraid of the things I could discover. So... time machine. Yes. But in a way that I can't get involved. I'd love to see Byron and Shakespeare and Rimbaud...

[6] be a hacker or a bank robber?: Hacker. Why would I want to rob a bank?

[7] be tough or nice?: I'm nice, I guess. If the choice was "mean", that would be it, but tough? No...

[8] be talented or clever?: Talented.

[9] have a boy/girl friend or a sweet car?: Girlfriend. Riding the tube in two is beautiful.

[10] breathe underwater or see in the dark?: Breathe underwater. Darkness scares me, I avoid it.

[11] have a good body or be a good lover?: Good lover. It is more blessed to give than to receive. ^_~

[12] have a better memory or have more experiences?: More experiences. A writer feeds on experiences, I *collect* experiences. What do I need a memory if I can write?

[13] be shy or have bad breath?: Hahaha... Well... be shy is fine, I guess. On the other hand, bad breath can be cured easily.

[14] Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan?: Jackie Chan! Lee is icky, when he's all sweaty and fighting and then the sound of fists connecting with naked flesh... Ew... Chan is faker.

[15] die by falling off a rollar coaster or by being lit on fire?: Hmmmmm... die falling. The idea of being burnt to death scares me shitless.

[16] die by drowning or by being buried alive?: Somehow, don't ask me why, I know how it is to drown. It's very, very painful and scary. But.. buried alive? That's one of the biggest scares of my life (death). So... I'd rather drown. I almost drowned (again) a few years ago and I remember that it was beautiful to be sucked into the depth and enveloped by darkness and cold...

[17] own a big cabin in the rockies or a small apartment in new york city?: Apartment in New York, of course! Woohoo!

[18] grow 2 feet or shrink 2 feet?: I'd rather grow, but I'm fine with my height.

[19] snore or talk in your sleep?: Talk in sleep, even though it's embarrassing. But when you snore you also have your mouth open and I hate that.

[20] get 5 piercings or 5 tattoos?: Piercings, definitely. Those can be taken off.

[21] forget your name or everyone else's?: Everyone else's.

[22] be stranded on an island with a clueless hottie or someone gross with survival training?: Clueless hottie. I can deal with the rest.

[23] have wheels instead of legs or wings instead of arms?: Hmmm... wheels. I'd love to have wings, but I need my arms. How would I write or draw?

[24] change your past or know your future?: Neither.

[25] power to calm everyone down or get them really excited?: Calm them down.

[26] always lose or never play?: Never play.

[27] know it all or have it all?: Have it all.

[28] be normal and ignored or brilliant and disliked?: Brilliant and disliked. Because there'll always be people who adore me anyway.

[29] wake up and find yourself in the middle of a desert or the middle of the artic?: Desert. I love the desert.

[30] have a dumb song stuck in your head all day or hit your funny bone every hour?: Song, of course! I may be masochistically inclined, but not that insane! LOL

[31] give bad advice or take it?: Oh dear... I'd rather do neither of that.

[32] never be sick or never be sad?: Never be sick, if that means I can prevent lethal diseases. I'm sick too much anyway.

Miffed for various reasons.

Up and still not amused about various issues that just arose. Fuck.

I just had, like, the weirdest experience of my life! o.o

Let me elaborate. I was awaiting a parcel from a friend from the Czech Republic who promised to send me around 50 CDs with anime! Naturally, I was all bouncy and excited, waiting for it to arrive. Today, there was this slip of paper in my mailbox that said that I had received a parcel of "dubious content" and I was to show up at the local customs office for clarification! Note, the "local" office is about 30 miles away! WAH! Needless to say, I was kinda miffed and worried! I called them and they said I had received a package from the Czech Republic and since it wasn't member of the EU they wanted to check it! They asked me what's in it. I said

"Uhm... dunno. Gifts. Uh... CDs..."
"Music CDs?"
"Uh, rather like... burnt CDs..."
*inhales sharply* "CD-Rs? Not good. You know that you're not supposed to send those?"
"Really? Not even data CDs?"
"Oh, data CDs. That's something else. We're talking about pirated music CDs here."
"Nah, officer, no danger here."
"Okay. Please show up at our office personally as soon as possible and bring your ID."

Aaaall right. So, I went to the office. Needless to say, I was quite nervous. Then, this guy came along, kinda geekish look, reminded me of my brother. He was really nice. He led me into the building, took out this HUGE key and opened the door to a room that was bursting with parcels. He asked me the same questions again and I gave the same answers. As explanation I offered, "You see, I study Japanese and these are data CDs to help me learn vocabulary and diction." He was all interested, wanting to know how it was to study Japanese and so on. We chatted a bit, he made me open the parcel, I showed him the CDs. Then he said "Since it's a gift you can just take it with you." I said "Thanks", signed a paper and zoomed off.

Man, this WAS scary! HahaHah. This never happened to me before! Either, they have the Czech Republic on their black list, or it was a spot check, or they picked that parcel because it was poorly declared (which it was). I mean, it can't be the shipment in general, since I've received TONS of stuff before in much larger packages and nobody ever raised as much as an eyebrow at it!

Weird, weird, weird...

On the other hand, I now have SO much anime to watch, it'll take weeks! It's amazing! Wow... I'm so happy. I'm gonna watch some right now! yaaaaay! *_*

I am a Chieftan Carved out of Cheese.

My raspberry motivation slides transparently beyond the elongated prune. I dig widely upon the bus of my leather mangroves. Hygienic cameras pardon my curly white atmosphere.

Grant the wise barnacle, forsooth? The Utterly Surreal Test

I bought this small plastic Christmas tree today. It's really crappy, but I adore it. It blinks red and white! *_* And I got some tiny Christmas balls, too! Lovely! I can't stop looking at it... *happy sigh*

Okay, I should get food now. Hungry. And then to mail back the girlfriend. Ja ja...
