Because it's fun to imagine what others experience. You can see Bond is clearly trained as he takes charge and directs Vesper to get Mathers to clean up the bodies, and then goes about cleaning himself up and proceeding with the night. Whereas Vesper has never witnessed someone die, let alone participate in their death. So she says the line about the blood not coming off, symbolically representing the trauma of her aiding in the death of another, even though he would have killed her and Bond without a second thought.
I find it interesting to think of what others would go through for various scenarios, what emotions they might feel, what might go through their mind, etc. I do it for fun.

For fun

but doesn't it get a little scary? And... teary? x'D I sometimes daydream what it will be like if I were an orphan, or hated... or anything really bad :'o
Then I get a little teary because it gets so sad.

Nope, doesn't bother me in the slightest, and to be honest, I am more like Bond in the first part of that scene. I remain calm during emergencies and assess the situation and maintain situational awareness. If you get a feeling something isn't right, you should follow that, your instinct is usually accurate.
And I can imagine any scenario and I approach it how I would any scenario, with logic and assess how to improve. Homeless? I'd buy an axe, trudge off into the woods and build a cabin, my situation has dramatically increased!
And if I were an orphan, well... do be born means you will die... it's inevitable. Depends on the circumstances I suppose.

I do follow my instinct most of the times! :D In games. Usually, I'll get them right! x'D
Having that sort of characteristic is really good when you're a teacher in my opinion
Hm >:3 *nods*

I'm a filthy aminal. Water broken :( no shower for 2 days.
How was everyone's Christmas?
I hope wonderful! I know I enjoyed mine with my family, but honestly can't wait to get back to the boyfriend today.
Steven, Manders, Nan, please send me a blank trade. I have Christmas presents to give, but from my phone it's very difficult to start a trade.

Yes, yes, I am well now. Had another emergency surgeryy last week, but healed up good, hopefully won't need anymore at least through the rest of pregnancy.
Had my prenatal appointment and lil Corban is now 3lbs 4ounces. Hopefully he doesn't get too big for me to pop out. Lmao. /scared. 8more weeks to go as of this coming Monday.
Ah I saw the sales on Steam and was so tempted, but don't have the money. I'm out of work thanks to medical complications and Andrew doesn't have a job yet, so I'm terrified and am gunna try and find a job if the doctor will approve.
I have been playing Far Cry 3. Andrew bought us an xBox 360 recently so he does all the fighting people, I don't like shooter games, and I go exploring for all the relics and letters, etc. It's fun.
I got the reference! I just went with your comment instead :p
