Dad says I should be a writer. 'Cause he's a writer, so I should be too. And Grandma says I should be an actress, 'cause it's and 'honorable' profession. Ryan and Esposito say I should be a cop, 'cause it actually is an honorable profession. Allison in my economics class asys I should be an artist. I still can't figure out why she said that because I have no artistic abilities whatsoever.

Kate comes over to hand out while Dad's out of town for a signing (I know, a baby-sitter for a seventeen year old is ridiculous, and a cop is even worse). I asked her what she thought.

"Don't listen to Castle of any of those other idiots," she said. We talked for a while that night. She told me I should do what I want, and ignore what everyone else tried to tell me.

But what if I don't know what I want?
