My Favorite Thing of The Day Ever

Well played, i09. Well played.  i09 has come out with it's own version of Monopoly aptly titled, "Throneopoly". If you haven't seen it go see it now! I think I would like order a billion copies.  You know what, I can stretch the pocketbook. Two billion!

Something in Me

Something in me just gets a lady chub for red-haired Scottish girls.

This is the first picture we have of Princess Merida, the upcoming star of Pixar's Scotland folktale name Brave. To be completely and unabashadly honest, I CANNOT WAIT!

Also, guess who else is in it? Did you guess the hottest Scottish man alive?

Oh baby. I don't know if I can handle this hotness. However, I believe the best part about this sexy piece of meat's appearance(well voice, really) on the big screen is that I have a guaranteed way to get the boyfriend down to the theater. Bwhahahahahaha!

But in all seriousness. An animated movie about a kick ass girl who kicks ass and takes names. Sign me up...twice. I have a small little shy hope that maybe, just maybe, she won't even have a love interest. But in all honesty, I know she will. So maybe I just hope he won't be too much of a douchebag. :D

Well, life is life is life. Peace.

Young and Foolish - flashwriting

 Young and Foolish

by Susan Marie Combs

           An infant cries in her fathers arms, while he whispers sweet words to her ease her pain. He speaks in awe of the world she has just been born into. He speaks of the limitless possibilities that have now been opened to her, and how he will always be there for her, and that she was destined for great things and because she is young and foolish, she believes him.

Enough to Grasp

           I don’t know when I first learned about the concept of freedom. I don’t know if I saw it on a bumper sticker, and pestered an exhausted parent until a hurried explanation was thrown my way. Or if it was a word in a textbook, bolded in the margins with a definition that I wrote onto a flashcard and dutifully copied onto a test. The only thing I do know is that when I learned it, I never truly understood it.

A Harlot's Progress: Plate 2 by William Hogarth

            There were a lot of things in Christian’s life he had no control over. He was not willingly a creature of habit, but that did not stop Mr. White, his very blunt assistant, from waking him at exactly morning. Exactly seven every time, as he had done throughout most of his thirty two years of life. After he had a cup of tea shoved into his hand, he was given the outfit that had been picked for him to wear and told he had an hour before he was expected in the dining hall. He would take a cautious sip of the steaming tea before slowly making his way into the large bathroom connected to his bedroom. Turning on the knobs, he would wait for the water to reach the perfect temperature of not too hot, but definitely not too cold.

         

Introductions all Around

TA DA! This is my first post! Yay!

 I like stuff.  I like politics and stuff.  I really like to write! Mostly I just want a place to ramble and ramble and ramble and force people to read it. Well, I can't technically force anyone to read anything, but you get my point.

Really I just want somewhere to place all my writings. I'm an aspiring writer, you see.  I want to write bunches of words and place them together semi-coherently and have people read them and semi-enjoy it.  So if you're bored, you should definitely do that.
