Topic # 4 - Time
If I could turn back time!
God, okay, yes, Cher is blasting over on my radio. And yes, it is all kinds of bad. I don't like Cher. Never have, probably never will. Actually, to be completely honest, she scares me. Like, really scares me. The Hulk going out on a date with the Wasp kind of wow-thats-so-weird-and-freaky scares me. I mean, she looks younger than me, and I'm not old, dammit.
But there's a point to this, and as usual, I've made it a point to get off point. Ha ha. Thank you thank you no applause. Not that there ever has been.
Aah, yes, the point.
Would I turn back time if I could? To be completely honest? Probably. I don't know. I mean, there are things that I wouldn't have wished for to happen - like the whole Day of M thing. I mean, okay, maybe it wasn't that bad of a thing. It did push me to be more than I am, and that's not a bad thing, but it's screwed so many other people's lives that it's a little daunting. I mean, Spider-Man himself was hurt so deeply by the Day of M thing that my heart breaks for him over and over again.
And of course, now we've got our heroes breaking off into seperate factions, which is never a good thing. I've sided with Tony Stark - Iron Man - and while I can't help but wonder if it's a bad thing, I wonder if maybe it's a good thing too. I worked for the goverment once. Would it be so bad being on their payroll again?
I don't know. I don't know if being on their payroll will allow me to do what I need to do to achieve my goals. But then, what Tony says sounds so...right.
Life's gotten so complicated lately. I miss the older days. You know, the days when I could just lunch with Mary Jane Watson and work on my magazine without even knowing that I was Ms. Marvel? Or maybe a time before that, when there was no Ms. Marvel. Life was simpler, easier.
But if I could turn back time, would I do it?
I don't know. I don't freaking know.
Maybe I should get Jen to help me get in touch with the time police. I mean..being faced with the decision of turning back time, maybe I’d be able to tell if I really want to or not. But there’s no guarantee that turning time around would change anything or, worse, even make it better.
So, no time police, no turning back time no…wait…would the time police even turn back time?
I need a drink. And a girl’s night out.
