 |  A little bit of spice to flavor the pot. |

I've never really gone camping or otherwise gone out into the great outdoors. The only time that barely comes close is one time I went on a church Core trip. It wasn't even my regular church but it was the only one that fit with our schedule. They had some group stuff that was not overall bad. But it can be intimidating sometimes being part of a group who know each other when you don't know many yourself. It was a little teeny bit scary being away from home. Even it was just for a few days. I especially can remember when this girl Jennifer dressed up as big foot to scare everybody. That was memorable. I'm glad to say I went and got a bit closer to my spirituality. There's not too much I can say for the outdoors other than I really don't see myself as ever being the outdoors type. But I applaud people who are. I just can't say that will ever be me. |
| To an extent. Not to where it cripples your own writing or even who you are outside if writing. We can inspire and support each other along the way. I've even been inspired myself by others. We influence each other and that can be good and or bad depending how we react and how we allow it to affect ourselves. If we're constantly comparing ourselves or our work to others, then we're not going be able to continue growing as writers or as individuals. You can be inspiration for others, and offer advice as far as previous writing or something that needs some editing. And you decide if you follow up on it or not. {I don't mind at least looking at what people have to say bout what I write. Whether I bother to follow up on it is another matter.} Only you can decide for yourself how far you can go. Others may influence/support you along the way. But ultimately it is up to the individual to decide just how far they want to go with their writing and beyond that. |
Theresa May quickly grew bored w/ all that was not getting done today. Tuning out all the whining, accusing ugliness, Theresa soon found out she could tune in on something else much more worth while. At least for her, more uplifting than the chaos she found herself amongst. While hate and general misanthropy, reined around her Theresa tuned into her fav. music station and let the soothing notes take her away. Meanwhile, a nearby congressman, fed up with the useless banter back and forth, and refusal to work together, contemplated ditching out, he noticed something peculiar.{Or a bit more than usual.} Theresa May, sitting amidst the turmoil, happily humming along to a tune only she was privy to. This gave the man pause, as he wondered if she'd discovered something no one lese knew, and if she'd contemplate letting him in on it. |
| My neighbor has a scarlet macaw. That thing sometimes wanders around outside their home.{The front porch/steps area.} I think it would be perfect for the ''act like a pirate day''. Only thing is, birds kind of freak me out. We went to an aviary to feed the birds before, and it kind of spooked me. Things dive bombing your head can be a bit unnerving if you're not used to it. Wasn't so bad the 2nd time we tried it but still. My dad's bird man b/c they flocked to him. That thing may take off an ear, and plus they're pretty loud. I don't want it to startle and take some flesh out of me. I've seen a guy walk around w/ a cockatiel before. That I might be able to manage. Otherwise, it's a monkey, and the little ones, and some bigger can be mean and nasty. Plus they throw feces, who needs the hassle? Maybe I'll just watch my brother play pirate instead. Or maybe there's a pool @ the end of the plank? I can commandeer a floatie. That's kind of pirate like, eh? |
| I've had a lot of great teachers. Just sometimes the subject can be hard. I had two middle school science teachers that apparently shouldn't have accepted their teaching degree. I don't know but it always seemed they were upset about something. My 6th grade one scared me and my 7th grade one was not much better. Loved my 8th grade teacher though. I almost failed science that semester b/c my science fair project was going down the toilet. I ended up doing a similar project as another student and I want to say I got a C. My main things is math though. A lot of teacher that teach it love it. That's great for them, but no real common ground for me to be able to relate to them. I've been frustrated to tears because of math before. I'm always going to struggle with it. But I hope with this semester I can begin to change my math experience. I've had some great college math teachers, but I don't think I was quite ready to be the type of student to do what needs doing. I think I'm there now. Or at least beginning to get there. I have a semester or two left so I'm hoping this sets mwe up on a good note to tackle my last two remaining math courses. |
I sometimes forget what I've written already. I write something and that's it, I just bounce around here and there. I won't blame someone if they don't know what I've written. I care more about the memories I've made over time. the people I've met. the experiences I've had. That's what I think is more important. A book doesn't mean much till the reader finds it and says ''wow, this is great. I'm going to share this w/my friends'', etc.. I get real excited when people comment on something I've written. Maybe I haven't gone over things I've written before and that helps bring it back to mind. Sometimes I have to look through my port to find out what they've mentioned. ''Oh yeah, that , I remember writing that.'' People, help each other, we make each other better writers, better as individuals. So long term, I don't know if I'm going to forever remember everything I put out there, but the people and experiences I've had on the journey along the way, that's worth remembering in my book. |
| I have to think about it. I like to many songs and I don't keep up to date on albums. But I'll take a crack at it. Anything but ordinary by Avril Lavigne I like the song and I think it will keep us upbeat as we travel to our destination. Life is a highway {cliché maybe but works here} I feel like a woman {It makes sense if I'm road tripping with the girls. In a perfect world, one of us actually drives.} I'd go to my fellow passengers for their song selections as well. Don't want to totally hog the radio. I'd probably go with my friends I've made/met at college. Hit up my one friend at UCF. She could probably make use a much needed break with how hard she she's working over there. My other friend moved to another university recently. I'm sure she'd be down for it. One of the girls I've met volunteering w/ my college. She seems like she'd be fun on a road trip. And a friend I made in my teaching class. I think we can totally rock this road trip. This one girl that shared a teaching class with me and works at the college. I think she would be down for a road trip. Get away for a bit and just unwind and be young adults. Doesn't sound too bad. Not sure what to do food wise since I'm sure it could be very diverse given the group. But I suspect it would be very awesome regardless. |
| In a lot of ways the internet has aided us as a society. In some ways, it keeps us separated and divided. There's a quote along the lines of ''no man's an island'' or something of the like. In essence, we are not meant to live out our lives in solitude, cut off form the rest of the world. {Unless you're part of a religious order then you just might.}We are meant to go out in the world and be a part of it. The internet helps us connect with friends, family who we might not be able to otherwise. This also comes at a disadvantage. While it does bring us closer together and put us in reach of others we might not have otherwise come across, there are some draw backs. Myself, I've never been the most forward in life. This goes for a lot of aspects in my life, a major one friendships. Its not any easier now as an adult than it was when I was a kid. If anything, people are more tuned in to their own world on their phone than the are in the actual world. It makes it that much more difficult to meet people. I know it's not always an easy undertaking. But we are meant to help each other in this crazy game of life. If you're going to be stuck out there in that crazy world, might as well have some friends to be there for you. Make it a lot less lonesome and a bit more manageable. The internet brings us closer but also isolates us from others as well. Sometimes we need to get away from technology and interact in the real world. Be a friend today and make someone's day! |
| I really want to travel. So far I've never left the U.S. I've been to Michigan, Maryland, Virginia/west Virginia {one of them for a wedding.} And Hawaii,{don't know if that counts since I was little and didn't get to appreciate it as much as the adults did. Some of the places I've thought of visiting-France, Japan, Egypt, and Greece{they went broke right?}. Not sure how much that's going to happen. Not everyone has the opportunity to travel. My 11/12th grade high school year, we had someone come to us about an exchange program. It sounded cool, but with lots of things, money worried me. My mom's traveled some being retired navy. I'm still young and hold out hope that I'll be able to go someone in my life time. My cousin went to Australia during her college life. And my fiend went on a mission trip to another country. It's scary what goes on in other parts of the world, even what goes on in the U.S. Part of that fear, along with financial concerns, keep me from fulfilling this at present. But I hope some day I'll be able to see a little bit of something. |
| I signed up for writing a story with another author. I think it was teaming up with another writer to write a short fantasy story. I liked their writing so I was happy to get them. It was chosen at random so I was glad about who I got. I think they ended up losing power in the process so I ended up carrying the story. I got an award for it so that worked out. I learned that sometimes things don't work out the way you planned but you can still make the best out of your circumstances. |
| Probably be a Granny smith apple. I like the red ones. They're just right. Not too tart, not overly sweet, just perfect. {Like Goldilocks!} It works out rather well. Yellow for my good days, and I'm feelings real good vibes. Green when I'm surly and unpleasant, and not feeling it. At least then you have fair warning. There's no guessing or mind reading required. Steer clear if green rears it's ugly head and we're all good. |
