Spy Actress Extraodinaire (Spoken from the Kid that Got Big)

I’m a spy actress. Let’s start there. I have traveled inside and out, upside and down, and in very roundabout ways. Further than I thought, though I’m still short in stature. Often through treacherous waters with spiders that tower the sky. I bet you’ve seen them too, amidst the alligators and the fairies that taunt us. I ate a spider once. It tasted like nails.

Sometimes I have silly things in my head and I can’t seem to say them fast enough. They make me laugh then I realize it’s just me laughing with God. Maybe they will make you laugh to?

I bet Einstein made himself laugh a lot. All the pictures I see of him, he’s got quite a smile, and I heard he had a daughter named Alice too. That must be a magical name. I heard that there is a book about her. I’d like to meet her. Maybe she would be a kindred spirit. I’m always looking for kindred spirits, you know like in Anne of Green Gables, when she has to move and is always looking for that one friend who will be her same conspirator. Like on the same team. I think of them as fellow spies. They understand a code language so when you look over a quick glance everyone knows that there was an exchange but only the two of you know what was spoken, even though you didn’t have to say any words at all.

I guess here I should introduce myself. Not to be redundant, but in case this is our first time we are meeting in person. Or rather in mind. Isn’t that neat? We are meeting in minds, and at one point I will hear your thought waves then our brains can do a handshake. My brain feels like light lightning.

I’m learning a lot about thought waves. I learned today that thought, like what we think, can travel faster than the speed of light. I don’t know what that means, really, but that’s FAST!!!!! I feel that in my brain there are all these neurons are bouncing around. I have one friend and he thinks in infinity symbols. I have another friend and she thinks in circles. I think in waves and open shapes. It’s weird, right? What shapes do you think in? I’d love to know. You can write it in the comments below.

I guess that’s what makes us good spies. We can think fast, (like lightning speed…) Maybe we are all walking quantum computers, but we just didn’t know it. That’s pretty fascinating.

That’s what I will start practicing. I’d like to be like my friend who thinks in infinity loops. He said his mind can think about 5 things all at the same time. He’s pretty funny and comes up with good jokes. I guess that’s what great comedians do. They are thinking in serious metaphoric shapes.

I don’t mind straight lines either. But sometimes I bend.

Thanks for reading my spy stories today! I’m off to another adventure. I’m going to learn how to program my quantum computing mind, and see if I can go meet Einstein’s daughter in my time machine.

See you soon!
