What i want to be when i grow down


Any of my immediate family will know just how much i love(d) Calvin and Hobbes growing up. i have, if not all then almost all of the original books; but i would love to some day own the complete works. i want my kids to read it someday, and hopefully get the same experience of escape and freedom i got—sitting for hours reading and re-reading these stories took me away from everything hectic or immediate, immersing me in a much "calmer" "saner" "less violent" world…
um, not really, but at least you could throw water balloons at girls and get away with it. oh wait, Susie always pummeled Calvin. much like my sister, although she was a biter. OW!

(Sigh) Someday i'll grow up, and when i do i want to grow back down to a spaceman. with a tiger for a sidekick.
