When I was in 7th grade, I thought that I was smart enough to write a whole novel. Although the intellect was indeed lacking, I managed to finish it. It would take me longer than the book is to explain to you the plot, so here’s the first chapter. Continue reading “[Day 76] Ash: Chapter 1”
I used to think I was pretty hot stuff. Well, let’s face it, I am hot stuff. But in a different way then I thought I was when I was twelve.
See, when I was twelve, I thought I would be this great lip sync-er. I don’t know where I got this idea, but one day it popped up and I just went with it. Could have been my calling. You never know, right? Continue reading “[Day 72] A memory in place of a nicety”
Last year for my birthday, as some of you might remember from my YouTube channel, my friend Craig (Adventure Captain Pants) got me some interesting presents. Among these strange but pleasing gifts was the epitome of everything that is amazing and creepy in the world; a large grey trench coat. Continue reading “[Day 22] Feel the chemicals collide”
In 2006, a band came out with an album. I found this band through the MySpace profile song of a friend that I’d never actually met. After that initial listen, I knew what I must do. I said to myself, I must buy this album. So I did. This band is called Boys Like Girls. Continue reading “[Day 21] I used to be love drunk, but now I’m hungover”
“Mom. Mom.†I demanded, squaring my eight year old shoulders.
“What is it?†she asked lazily.
“There is something wrong with my head.†I inform her bluntly. Continue reading “[Day 20] Narration”
Dear Tamora Pierce,
*insert project details here*
I remember picking up Alanna: The First Adventure while on vacation when I was in 7th grade. I’d never read fantasy before, so it was a new experience. The back of the book looked promising, and the idea of a girl masquerading as a boy appealed to my tomboy attitude. When I finished the first read, I put it down on my bed, thought about it for a moment, and picked it up again. I read it at least five more times in the period of a week. Continue reading “[Day 19] Join the ranks of the Komai!”
I’m really crazy, and I apologize.
Lately, I’ve been getting into tea. I didn’t get into coffee until about last year, so I figured that tea, which won’t brown my teeth and stunt my growth, would be a good new habit to get into. So this summer I bought some tea at the local health food store (one kind to help me sleep and one kind to repress appetite) and tried to acclimate. It kind of worked, but I’m sorry, tea just tastes like weirdly flavored, piping hot water. I even tried Chai at Starbucks, but that just tastes like cold egg nog with a kick. Eh. But I really want to like tea. It is the coffee of sophisticated people! In pursuit of my imagined intellectual image, today, instead of my normal hot chocolate, I filled up my travel mug with Earl Gray tea. Continue reading “[Day 15] I’m over getting older”
