An Ambition: Volcanologist
The idea - is to sort of fade away into nothingness and hope no one notices. :)
That's not what I wanted to talk about - but apparently my mother has killed my pictures of the birds nesting in the coconut tree outside our window to take photos of something else - but that's her. She says there's a baby bird there already.
Should I be concerned about the way I use dashes so liberally? It could be a culture.

That was to scare off all those passers-by and stuff who would simply laugh at me for my new choice of career consideration. :P A vulcanologist? Which really seems more like some celebration of pagan gods or something.
Oh - it was quite sudden. :) It was because of a book I was forced to read, if you must know. But never mind.
Why I want to be a ...........-logist
1. The whole idea of being able to wear a gas mask the whole day looking cool in it when no one else does. And collecting samples of magma or whatever and stuff, it's so official, don't you think?
2. The lifestyle. Like, there are volcanoes all over the world and it might be fun to do some travelling and be independent. Well going to the airport and managing to get on the plane yourself, is independent for me. :P But - let's say it actually did happen - I could be situated in Indonesia which is pretty close to home, plus there's a cousin who's only a few years old there now, so family. Or Mauna Loa in Hawaii (I admit I like the name :P) and pretty cool places.
Plus, it would be fun to go trekking up a mountain and all those hot springs and everything. And noting down all those readings from stuff, and even doing calculations could be fun if they weren't absolutely useless and tedious.
3. Volcanoes. The whole idea - well it's sort of comforting. I mean, when people say, Save the Earth? They're really saying save it for them to live on, and their future generation. But the Earth doesn't care what condition it's in - we're all only staying on it temporarily, all the animals that are supposedly *nature*. Volcanoes stay forever, I think. We're so pretentious (I've decided I like using this word after someone called me that.)
4. The underlying belief that you're really doing something to help others. Or that you may one day die for your work, or something. It's - noble - and would prove I was really a nice person. :P And maybe the promise of one day making up your own grand theory about everything and it being believed.
So you have to admit it's cool! But it will never actually happen. :?
