200 words day #2


Well, I wouldn't exactly call them unexpected consequences per se, just embarrassing muscular mishaps. For example the young girl is sitting in the movie theater watching Anastasia and the music changes signifying the entrance of the EU will sorcerer Rasputin and his cute but annoying fruit bat sidekick Bartok. Even though the girl knows intellectually that something bad is about to happen she still jumps out of her skin. In the process she knocks over a large soda and jumbo tub of popcorn that was placed on her lap tray for some godforsaken reason.

The girl feels horrible, but there is nothing she can do except endure the books and harsh whispers of every other person in the theater. The girl's mother tries unsuccessfully to clean the mess up. However, all she has at her disposal is a couple of previously used paper napkins and her own saliva. So, unfortunately the girl is forced to remain extremely sticky for the rest of the movie. The girl feels like a victim of her own physical circumstances. She wishes more than anything that she could just sit there and enjoy the rest of the movie like a normal person, but that isn't possible.

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...

Day six

Today I saw my taco explode after just one bite, all of it falling onto the plate in a heap of cheese, meat and lettuce. Yesterday I saw all three parts of the same Christmas movie at different times. It sounded like a mixture of infomercials and jingle bells. If you looked inside me you would see someone who is self-conscious and insecure, even after 27 years on this planet The five things I saw that no one else saw The inside of my eyelids The lint on my dress The game boards on my bed. My faded pink nighty on the floor. Tooth picks on the doorframe The most beautiful, terrible thing is the failures and inadequacies of technology

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...
