Dear XXXXXX :

It is very depressing to see how our relationship fell apart.

When did you began to focus on your own interests?

When did you start to think that your ideologies were superior?

When did you start to think that the only reasons that mattered were yours?

When did you forget me? – When did you start to forget what I wanted?

 

All of my decisions and actions were based on you.  I always thought of how you would react.
To me, you were the most important person.

I always wanted you to feel proud of me.

 The sad thing is that, in the process- I ended up forgetting me.

 

I forgot what I wanted.

I forgot how I felt.

I forgot my ideologies.

Now that I want to tell you what I think, what I believe, and what I feel – It’s too late.

 

Perhaps it was my fault, for not putting my thoughts as a priority.

Perhaps it was your fault, for being so selfish.

Perhaps the fault lies on the society in which you grew up.

Perhaps the fault lies on the society to which I want to belong. The true is that the answers of these questions will not help anything…

As I said before: It is depressing to see how our relationship fell apart.

"The Posse"

Posted by Amber Housley in STORY-002 on

       On March 16, 2007, I was pushed, pulled and abused by the wind… accompanied by rain and hail. It was raining heavily when I left school, but I was not bothered because I had an umbrella. I did not consider that the umbrella would be useless for the duration of my walk home. The first block and a half was somewhat calm, a little wind and of course pouring rain. I began hoping, “Please let me make it home.” I approached Market Street about a half of a block later and the wind’s power multiplied by fifty. The wind would not allow me to peacefully cross the street as it pushed me in the direction opposite of my desire. I leaned forward to fight the wind and I made it. I walked adjacent to a parking lot with a gate, which was relieving because it helped me resist the wind. Immediately, I gripped the gate when the wind lost control again…this time I could not walk for a few seconds. I struggled to walk through the parking lot, heading toward 23rd Street. I closed my umbrella because it caught the wind and became hard to hold…besides I was under a bridge (serving as my umbrella). When I walked from under the bridge, again I attempted to open my umbrella and it was snatched from me less than a minute later. So, I walked the rest of the way home enduring the force of hail falling onto my face. The wind and its posse (rain and hail) made a point to send my destroyed umbrella in front of my residence.

To be honest, I haven't posted anything on my character's tumblr. Shame on me, I know. But my story occurs within moments anyway, so I don't feel so bad about pushing it back the way that I am. I SHOULD add some warm up, though. But, hell, this project makes me contradict myself. I try not to get onto social networking sites, but I have to in order to pass a class. Whatever, I probably won't post anything until the last minute because that's just what I do.

"Shit ain't all G with him no more, you ain't entertained. Since I met you a couple months ago you ain't been the same."

"Whenever you need me, whenever you want me. You know you can call me. I'll be there shortly. Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me. I can be your bestfriend, and you be my homie. I ain't gonna flex, i'm not gonna front. You know if I ball then we all gonna stunt. Send her my way she ain't got hold up. Whenever you call baby I roll up."

My benchmark is up and running and it's going okay. I'm finding that it is really difficult to write things like statuses in different voices for my characters because it isn't even like a journal where you're personality really comes out in your grammar and vocabulary. So, I'm using a lot of actions to describe characters and develop relationships, but it just doesn't feel the same. But, I'm hitting the main parts of my time line and doing okay at giving people an idea of what my characters are like. It's weird for me, I didn't realize how awkward this benchmark was going to make me feel. Luckily, the main event is coming soon so we'll see.

Old man syndrome

Posted by James Seward in STORY-002 on
​So this is what it feels like....to be an old man...I know im not actually old, being im one of the youngest in the class, but regardless,  i still feel old. Allow me to paint you a picture.  Yesterday im sitting in on a friend of mine's student teaching class. 2 seniors, 1 teacher, 20 something freshman, you get the picture. Im helping with one of the science fair projects and I flash back to my own science fair project.  I actually couldn't remember the details, though i remember the feeling, and some of the things that went on that day.  besides the fair, I got to become friends with some people in my class who im still very close friends with today.  Anyway, after i finish day dreaming I actually started telling the story of that dat! can you believe it? i just told the freshman that....guys, im old...

Wonder cat of time

It is for a photo contest. Using stock images you had to use one cat, one clock and one fruit. It took forever for me to get all there to mesh but I did. The strawberry though is placed in a fun way.
