Adventures of a Shockingly Average 30-Something

I have a story I've been working on for quite a while now. It's nothing special, really. Well, it's special to me. I love my characters. I love the things they do and say. I love the way they change as things go on in their lives. I love looking into their memories to find out why they do the things they do. I create them, but they create their own histories. Anyway. I posted the very beginning of this story a longgg time ago, and if you want to (re)read it, here's the link: http://kimberlyanna91.blogspot.com/2010/08/writing.html and I posted a little bit of this current bit that I'm going to post in just a minute in this post: http://kimberlyanna91.blogspot.com/2010/11/bits-of-my-writing.html And now, here's more of it. This happens later in the story, not right after the beginning. But not at the end. And not exactly in the middle, I don't think. I'm not done with the whole thing yet, so I don't know where this is going to be. I gue...

Talking to Trisha: Trisha: The TV fall an' bump my head! me: The TV hit you on the head?! Trisha: Yeah, I watchin' cartoons an' it fall an' I had... I go... doctors! me: Are you ok now though? Trisha: Yeah. I... stupid ones. me: Oh, they were stupid cartoons? Trisha: No! Stupid TV! (Note - she is ok. I don't know what exactly happened, but yeah she's just fine.) ------------------- Phone call with Candis: me: Hi Candis! Candis: KIMERLY! I luh you! (Note that she still says "luh" instead of "love." And I still love it. I will never get tired of "luh." Also note that she still misses the "b" in "Kimberly." And I still love that too.) me: I love you too, baby. I miss you. Candis: Miss you. me: What are you doing? Candis: I swimmin' me: That's so cool! Candis: (no idea what she says here) me: What, honey? Candis's mom (in the background): Tell her you went to the park today, Candis. Candis: Park toda...

I hate when I want to update this blog because I want to say something, but just don't know what. So I guess this entry is going to be a bit different from normal because I'm just writing the thoughts that pop into my brain as they happen, I guess. I'm listening to Selena Gomez's song "A Year Without Rain" right now. And just now, writing the word "Rain," like 3 times I kept writing "Ryan." Somehow, having the song say Ryan just doesn't have the same... I dunno. Ya know? It's too different. And "Ryan" would just sound stupid. No offense to anyone named Ryan. But I dunno, I doubt it would even matter. My dad is moving. To Alabama. Ok, and no offense to anyone who lives in Alabama, but why the heck would anyone move there on purpose?!? Yeahh, me and Nikki have already decided that we're never going to visit him while he lives there. It's too.... ugh. I don't even.. No. Just no. David Cook's song ...

I can not wait to be done here! I can't wait to be done with school for the semester. To be done writing papers and doing projects and going to class and doing research, at least for the summer anyway. I can't wait to be around people I don't know, to be somewhere where I can be anyone because no one knows me. So no one can expect me to be anything. Well, they can, I guess... but whatever. I just can't wait! I want to be done with the majority of people here. I love my friends, and I will miss them to death when I'm away at school, but I hate the drama. I hate how childish people act here. I hate that I hang out with them (the loud, annoying, childish people I don't like) because I've hung out with them for so long that it would be weird to not. I've started to lately, to not hang out with them, because someone else I'm friends with invited me to hang out with her and her friends. I can't wait for the weather to be nice and not col...

The world's favorite 10-year-old has done it again; put up another video that leaves everybody speechless. If you still haven't seen Connie's amazing cover of Adele's "Someone Like You," you've got to check that one out. (And if you have seen it, watch it again anyway :) No matter how many times I listen to it, I'm still just as amazed as I was the first time I saw it.) Now, Connie has taken on a song by another popular singer - Beyoncé, and people LOVE it! Uploaded only a couple of hours ago, the video already has upwards of 300 views and nearly 200 likes! Check it out: This ten-years-old kid is probably one of the most talented people in the entire world. That big voice doesn't seem possible for such a small/young child, but it is . I don't know what to say, other than: I absolutely loveloveLOVE Connie's voice. Look, I'm not a music critic. But I know what I like and what I don't like. And Connie's voice is ...

I have to write an essay about the poem "The Drowned Children" by Louise Gluck for my American Literature class. It's due in about 23 hours, and I still haven't started it yet, but it only has to be one page long. Double spaced. So it's one of those ones that I could put off until tomorrow morning, and still get an A on it... but I'd rather not. I've got other homework due tomorrow that I'm doing before class in the morning. And yet, by posting an entry here, I'm continuing to procrastinate and not get it done. And I want Subway. Just saying. There's been so many times lately that I've wanted to update here, and even typed up an entry... but then after reading it over, I decide that it doesn't feel like me. It doesn't feel like something I would write, so I change my mind and don't. So I figured I would just post on here about that poem. You know, my interpretation of it. That way I'm killing two birds with one s...
