 | I always wondered whether or not I'd be able to pull off the whole "human's natural instinct to survive" when presented with a less than ordinary position in which I felt my life threatened. Like, would I be able to survive an earthquake or tornado? Probably.Almost sure of it. Would I be able to survive a tropical depression? Why yes. Would I be able to survive without a cell phone? I'd manage. But would I be able to survive if left alone in the wilderness? For starters, I'm deathly afraid of the dark. I'm also afraid of the woods. I don't know how to rub sticks together well enough to build a fire,and I wouldn't have the heart to kill anything furry for nourishment. That's not to say I'd murder a hairless mammal either. And even if I had the balls to do it, I wouldn't have the fire in which to cook them with. I don't know how to build forts, and I have a hunch that any animal willing to eat me, is an animal I'd cower to before I'd attempt to fight it off with a giant tree branch.In the end, I'd probably blame mom and dad for not signing me up for the Girls Scouts, dying of psychological exhaustion in anticipated fear of the Blair Witch. Waiting for the moment she rips my ears off and drags me to her spooky, hollow abode and throws me in her pot of broiling brew.Yes, I believe in unrealistic things-it turns me out as a skiddish individual.
And speaking of that fire....if your house caught on it, what would you take with you in an instant? I would take my son of course, and I would also grab my poetry. Everything else important to me is in my fire safety box, and carrying that thing out with me would defeat my box's purpose,and would have wasted the extra money I spent for it to do what I payed for it to do, which was to protect my shnit in a fire.
And on that note as well, I was so cold all day today in my gay Halloween costume,I could have set myself on fire and still would have been cold. I just wanted to dig my way to hell and bask in its roaring flames. Or perhaps I should have brought a thicker jacket. |  |
