The Weird, Hilarious or Generally Ridiculous Email from Abby OF THE WEEK!

In the spirit of Jessica's recently-posted ADORABLE email from her 12-year-old sister, I have decided to start a little something of my own along those lines using the barrage of send-this-to-11-people-and-your-crush-will-ask-you-out and OMG-fill-this-out-and-send-it-back-LOL!!!! emails I receive on a semi-daily basis from my own 12-year-old sister. But instead of adorable, they'll mostly be weird.

This week's best email was entitled "My 102 Goals in Life." Apparently it was an assignment for her GT (haha) class that she decided to forward along. And boy am I glad she did, because I never would have known that, in addition to the more normal goals (swim in at least three oceans, become a doctor, visit the Eiffel Tower, curing cancer, sailing through the Straight of Magellan... wait... what?), my little sister also dreams of...
-Working on a loom
-Discovering an alternative fuel
-Learning about the Ice Man AND Teddy Roosevelt
-Taking acrobat lessons
-Seeing the Titanic in person (like in the robot thing?)
-Exploring the Bamboo Forests of China
-Discovering an unknown cave!

I didn't even know she knew the words "alternative fuel." Or "loom." I didn't even know I knew the word "loom." And now I'm going to be the slacker of the family because all I ever did was major in theology and poli sci and here's Abby over here, the Doctor-Weaver-Acrobat-Tom Sawyer-Engineer-Hairy Guy From The Titanic Movie-Resident Ice Man Authority.
