Entomology
I get to memorize bugs and catch and kill them, not to excited about the killing part. I cried today because after a good half an hour in the killing jar with Ethyl Acetate (poison) I took the dead ones out, pinned them down and then two hours later saw that one of them was squirming. I cried and stuck it back in the killing jar over night. Oh god I'm crying again, it's one of the ones I like, they're red milk weed beetles and when you pick them up they squeak, it's cute. GOD I THOUGHT IT WAS DEAD gonk it was squirming.... with a pin in its back... Dad said "This one's antennae moved." And I said, "No it didn't, I do have to fix that though so it doesn't dry that way." And I moved it with a pin ready to hold in place then its legs went "AH THERE'S A PIN THROUGH MY BACK AND SEVERAL ORGANS I'M IN PAIN AND I'M HALF BRAIN DEAD BECAUSE I INHALED POISON FOR A HALF HOUR! OH GOD GET ME OFF!" ~still crying~
