Trapdoor spider!! Nice nice. I remember that from one episode of the Magic School Bus. With the massive praying mantis? And the idiot military dude who used Liz as bait. Like seriously, what a douchebag.

OK, so trapdoor spiders are pretty ninja and stealth, but I think I'd get a little lonely and bored. Soo, I would be....

[drumroll]

A dragonfly!

Because 1) They have CRAZY flight skills. They can fly forwards, backwards, sideways, they can hover, some species can evenvfly across oceans! 2)They belong to the order Odanta, which means toothed jaw. Intense. 3) They have sex in the air. Woahh!! They 'fly in tandem' [tandem is SUCH A NICE WORRD] and then they do this thing called the wheel formation, in which the pair of dragonflies actually form a heart shape. Awwhhe. 4) They have incredible eyesight and they see in colour - their eyes are multifaceted, and cover most of their head. AND they have another set just to keep an eye on the horizon, to make sure they don't get disoriented. I like that holistic approach. I'm sure we'd all benefit from an extra pair of eyes to remind us of the bigger picture.

I had broccoli chowder for lunch today, and the oil droplets were floating on top of the soup in this beautiful shimmering film. It made me think of an old story, which I will not post here, because I'm running out of time. Sorry Jack, I didn't leave you much to work with. But I had to clean my room, I was playing around with oil pastels today, and boy are they messy.
