You know that PADD play that Ian was in where Natalie played me and Sean and Lilly were the grown-up versions of us, who want to take their knowledge of the future back to the past? If I could do take my present knowledge to go through the past with, I know exactly where I would go. I would go back to those lunch tables and grass and trees and ugly dorms and that room with the schmutzy floor and the beds with the sheets coming off (off, not out). Every time they sat together, I would smile inside. Every time their legs touched, I would laugh inside. Every time she unlocked the door, I would wonder if they had really just been on separate computers and hope they hadn't been. Every time they looked like they should be holding hands but weren't, I would know that in their heads they were instead of just wishing I could, like Matilda, make objects move with my eyes. I have never seen people who looked as though they were holding hands when they physically weren't. It was fun not to know. It would be even more fun to know. Well, I knew. I just didn't know that they knew it too.
Ooh I wrote a song! Ready for it? :
The seaweed is always greener
on somebody else's face
You dream about dermatologists
but that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
right here on the ocean floor
Such good Vaseline sorrounds you
what more is you looking for?
My sister doesn't like the song. For some reason.
