I love living in the future!
Dec. 2nd, 2010 11:37 amI've decided to go back and visit myself in the past for just a moment. I'm going to travel back to this date in 1984, during my freshman year in High School and have a talk.
Me: Hey!
Young Me: Hey!
Me: 25 years from now, on this day, NASA is going to announce they've found arsenic based life!
YM: NO WAY! Like the Horta, only arsenic instead of silicon? That's so cool! Where did they find it? Io? Mars?
Me: No! Right here on Earth!
YM: You're kidding!
Me: Nope. Not one bit. You know what's better? I'm at work and actually watching the NASA press conference.
YM: What's the big deal there? You have a TV at work, right?
Me: Nope. I'm watching on my phone.
YM: Pull the other one.
Me: I'm serious. No joking there.
YM: That's totally AWESOME!
Me: I know, right?!!??! Well, I gotta get back to my time and back to work.
YM: Okay. Will I see you again?
Me: Who knows. Maybe. Oh, by the way, don't let Mom buy most of your clothes at Chess King, okay?
YM: You know that's not going to happen, right?
Me: Yeah, but it was worth a shot.
YM: Hey, do you have flying cars yet?
Me: Sort of but not really for public consumption.
YM: Oh.
Me: Don't worry, there's still a LOT of super cool things to look forward to.
YM: Cool!
