I'll Be Good, I'll Be Good

In a little while, I will be off to Subic with Probe to interview one of the witnesses in the Subic rape case. I'm looking forward to hearing his account, actually, since I've been transcribing interviews about the case for the past few days.
But veering off from any noble disposition left in me, I just have to say--
Woohoo. Rrrrrrrooaaaaaad triiiiiiiiiiiiiip.

My perfect cousin from the States is coming on Tuesday, which is more or less bad news for me. She is perfect in the conventional sense of the term--beautiful, intelligent, articulate, well-mannered, socially-active, graceful, religious, virginal. She declines dates from Harvard Wasps. She is a cheerdancer for Duke University. She has been to countless third-world countries for missionary work. She plays wind instruments. She is nice.
Being that I am the cousin closest to her age, I will be obliged to hang out with her. It's a tricky assignment, considering that the moment I open my mouth, the girl will most likely melt into a neat little puddle of God-fearing goo. I think I have to start collecting safe topics for conversation this early. I mean, I want to be a good little cousin, too. *thunderclap*
Hm. Let me think. Topics, topics.
Topics.
Topics.
Topics.
Hm.
*thunderclap*
