aha! there she is.

in a previous post, i talked about i hate how when people say, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" they just mean your job. so, i have found exactly what i want to be when i grow up.

i was sitting on the beach, just sort of hanging out, when i caught sight of a woman. she was standing right above that downward slope where the waves start coming in. she was wearing a tie-dyed blue beach cover-up that had a slit for her leg which went all the way up to her waist. she her hair was grayish-white and so short that it clung to her skull like a knit cap. her skin was tan, but it was clear that she hadn't worked to make it that way. she was standing there, doing tai-chi with the wave blowing around her dress and imaginary hair, and i thought-"that's what i want to be when i grow up."
