If I Were In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel death and dentists,
Big fat brothers and also,
Bradley Sovereign.

If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be very, very short winters,
More puppies and cats and
More gym classes then french classes and math classes.

If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have Bored,
You wouldn't have Stupid,
You wouldn't have Mosquitos,
Or "Don't be late for the dentist"
You wouldn't even have dentists.

If I were in charge of the world,
There would be way, way bigger malls, and bigger ice cream sundaes,
All rated movies would be parent approved
And a person who sometimes forgot to listen to her mother,
And sometimes liked to kick her brother,
Would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.

- Me, Grade Four

I would ask for police protection
And give very good directions
To the mental-health professional
And the doctors who are dental
Who would daily see the girl
Who thinks she is in charge of the world.; May 16, 2006 11:35 PM

Hi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

Hey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

I'M READING:
Walking Dead:

Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

I'M SEEING:
Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

BOOK CLUB!:
The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
