MOG

Had I realized it, I might have avoided Spy School all together.  I mean I could have gotten a degree from DeVry or American Intercontinental University in less time.  I could have had a bright future as an Orderly, majored in Gun Repair, or been a Legal Secretary.  But no, I took one of those Assessment Tests in high school and it recommend a career in International Espionage, or Floral Arrangement.  Having alergies, I chose the later.

  So I went through 4 years of basic schooling to get my degree in Tactical Espionage with minor in Gastronomy (you gotta have something to fall back on!).  The course work was tough, but I managed.  I mastered 14 languages, and made up 2.   I passed my Master of Disguise 400 level course with a thesis entitled "Why A Simple Moustache Does Not Suffice, The Effeciency of Non-Persona Disguises in Tactical Field Work".  Of course than there was the year of combat training, interogation techniques, sensory deprovation, and for some reason I was subjected to all the seasons of "The Golden Girls" on DVD and one season of "Golden Palace (sans Bea Arthur)". 

You might say I was a bit of a greenhorn, but I was confident in my skills.  Maybe too confident.  I let my guard down and was hit at home, during my sister-in-laws birthday party.  I tried to ignore the package, but  it got the better of me.  I was eventually offed by enemy agent Amber, and as if the first shot didn't do the trick, she threw in a second disc to make sure the job was done.  She's ruthless.

My Theme or how I Wanted to Die:  Knowing I had a limited time (I used David Bowie's "5 Years" as an example of a sort of wistful, bittersweet ending)
