Bri’s adventure to rediscover herself.
[Bri 2.0 BONUS] On being alone
Last night, after hanging out at a friend’s house with a couple people playing ping pong and watching Food Network, I took my favorite Anakin Skywalker towel up to our second floor porch and lay on my back. It was a lightly stormy night, with enough clouds to facilitate the sporadic strikes of lighting but to also still see the stars. I found the Big Dipper and Casseopia, my favorite constellation by far. It was 83 degrees, if the sign on my way home was anything to go by, but the wind made it feel much cooler.

[Day 315] Marooned Week 7: Goodnight
When I was about six or seven, my grandparents still lived in town, just a few miles away. It was Valentines Day, or close to it, so they decided that warranted a trip to the local Toys R Us*. Our limit was ten dollars. Continue reading “[Day 315] Marooned Week 7: Goodnight”
[Day 314] Marooned Week 6: *manly voice* SPORTS
I swear, this is not an homage to “Castaway”. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen that movie all the way through. I also think Tom Hanks is kind of creepy. So again, I don’t want to hear it.* And just so we are clear, as well as having recharging capabilities, my planet also has the ability to air up sports equipment. Continue reading “[Day 314] Marooned Week 6: *manly voice* SPORTS”
[Day 313] Marooned Week 5: Keep me warm
People deal with things in different ways. When I’m upset, I either bury myself in Youtube or write. Lately, my mom has been dealing with current events by quilting, something she gave up a long time ago because she was too busy focusing on everyone else. Continue reading “[Day 313] Marooned Week 5: Keep me warm”
[Day 312] Marooned Week 4: Musica
If you can’t already tell what my next item is, then you’re either stupid or haven’t reached your concrete operational stage of development yet.* And just to clear up any misconceptions that I know are going to pop up, yes, I have the ability to recharge things at will. Continue reading “[Day 312] Marooned Week 4: Musica”
[Day 311] Marooned Week 3: Literature
You had to know this was coming. I mean, there’s really no way to get around it. As with most writers, I was first a reader. I couldn’t just give that up after being marooned. And the first book I really fell in love with was Harry Potter. Continue reading “[Day 311] Marooned Week 3: Literature”
[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] Biology, explained
I just found this in my archives while brainstorming for next week’s theme week, high school tips and tricks. It’s back from freshman year, and I think it’s hilarious. Also, weirdly helpful. Continue reading “[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] Biology, explained”
[Day 310] Marooned Week 2: Yummy
Keep in mind that all my survival needs are taken care of, and that anything I want to bring to the planet will work. As for today’s item, yes, I will have water-boiling capabilities and two tablespoons of canola oil handy when I need them. So I don’t want to hear it.
