Burnt Remember yesterday when your house was on fire and you got to save five items? That means that you left a lot of things behind. What are some things that you wish that you has taken but had to leave? My Doctor Who paraphernalia. Thanks for reading, Misty Blessed Be )O(

Find a place from your childhood that is destroyed. Write a memorial... Pistol Pete's used to be on Eubanks near Menaul, it was in a strip mall with a Walgreens. Both are gone now. The other day we drove by and I saw a sigh saying that there would be a new strip mall there soon. Unless there is a Pistol Pete's, what's the point? Unless I can be eight again, what's the point? When I moved here from Belgium I was sheltered from many American things. My friend Heather and her family invited me to join them there one summer night. It was magical. We had so much fun, eating pizza, running around, watching the animatronic animals sing to us, play games, eat more pizza, beg for more tokens, play more games, run around some more, oh yeah, and eat more pizza. I had never been anywhere like it, I was in heaven. To top off the evening, I went home, had ice cram with my parents. I made chocolate ice cream soup. I was pretty sure, until recently, that I had invented that...

Just today I looked up the translation for 'One that drags you to hell with their conversations' - loose definition of course - in Italian. I was even able to get the pronunciation.

Yesterday I looked up and listened to a piece from an opera that the teacher mentioned.THANKS TO YOU - THE INTERNET! > > I get music from the internet.

Write Your Own Eulogy Misty The Doctor's Wife passed away 300 years in the future. She and her husband, The Doctor were exploring the Milky Way in their continued efforts to reinstate Pluto as the 9th planet. The kids that she had by a previous marriage were all transplanted to the year 5000 to Planet New New York, and they are not aware of her passing. Her first wife, Heather, was with her at the time of her death, as she was the 27th regeneration of The Doctor. Because timey whimey stuff happened, as it does. She is deeply saddened by the loss, and as she cannot go back and cross her own time paths to see Misty again, she has decided to just wait outside her tomb, kinda like Rory Williams. Misty's last wish was to tell her wife, The Doctor, "ha, I went first, suck it!" Thanks for reading, Misty )O( Blessed Be!

Ready, set, go! Freewrite for ten minutes. I'll do until I get to work. So, here I sit at the bus stop, wondering if I am emotionally retarded, or have emotional ADD or something of that nature. Yesterday a guy came up to me at the bus stop and asked if I had change for the bus, I didn't, so I told him so. Then he waited around a second, seemed to notice my son across the street at his bus stop, and started waking towards him. I told the guy he he didn't have change either. He yelled back at me that he wasn't going to ask, and he seemed irritated at me. Well, I stand by my decision to save my son the burden of dealing with that guy, but I felt bad about it. So, on the bus I was writing, and the change asker was not on my mind. As soon as I stepped into my office, for some reason he was back on my mind. Why? What's worse, and making me question my emotional health, is that as soon as I started 'opening my office', he was gone from my mind. Gone until this m

You've got skills. If to could be master or mistress over any skill, what would it be? This really sucks, because yesterday I had the perfect one, I even said that it was what I would pick if I had any power. But super power and skill are not the same thing, are they? Either way, I would pick the Jedi mind trick. "These are not the droids you are looking for". I would use my power for good and not evil. If I do have to pick an earthly task to master, it would be to always know what trends are going to be hot and master those craft trends, and clean up at craft shows. Or, I would be the most successful personal organizer ever, and help people in need, and then when my mother asks for my help, I'd spell out the terms, I get final say on everything we this away, and then I'd charge her triple for the years of trouble!

Sweet Sixteen When you were 16, what did you think that your life would be like? Does it look like that? Is that a good thing? I can't remember back that far. I think that I had no idea really, and I think that I probably had a vision of being some sort of professional person, maybe a stay at home mom, not sure. Like I said, I can't remember back that far... That is almost 24 years ago... Now I'm sad. Thanks for reading Misty Blessed Be )O(

It's never a good idea to discuss politics or religion in mixed company, agree or disagree? Yeah, I'm gonna take the indecisive middle ground here, it depends on who you are with. Some people are just argumentative, that can be good, and it can be bad. My dad was such a man, and he would argue about the sky being blue if he could get a rise out of a person, especially my Aunt Robbie! He was not ugly about it, he just did it to do it, for a rousing conversation. This person, yes, I would discuss touchy things with. If for no other reason than to hear his two cents, and often most times. Then there are people who know they are right, and won't hear anyone else's two cents. This type of person is closed minded, and likely to get ugly when you defend your position in the discussion. I try not to say much around people like this if I can help it. I do not like confrontation. Keep it to the weather, as it were. Now, if I don't know what company I am in, or I cannot ga

Most of us are good at tearing ourselves down, write about the favorite thing about yourself. Like the prompt says, this is not easy. I would say my favorite thing about myself is that I am 'cute'. Physically, emotionally, mentally, personality wise. I think that the best way to describe myself is cute. I'm not sexy, I don't feel like I am, and when I have tried to be, I feel like a fail, epic-ally! I don't think that people see me as smart, I'm not dumb, but I do too many dumb things to be smart... I am not particularly talented at any one thing, but I can do enough things reasonably well, to at least enjoy them. Crochet and needlepoint are two examples. I am not a master craftslady, but I can make a cute bug sampler! There is that word again, cute. Let's define it, shall we? Adjective # Possessing phy sical featu res, behaviors, personality traits or other properties that are mainly attributed to infants and small or cuddly animals; e.g. fair, dain

Take Two Run outside, take a picture of the first thing that you see, run inside, take a picture of the first thing that you see. Write a post about the connection between these two objects, people or scenes. Cant actually put pictures from here (iPod) but, outside last night on my drive home, there was that awesome haze of cold air around the street lights on the freeway... Inside, I ate green chili pork stew in my TARDIS footsie pajamas... So, cold outside, keeping warm inside.  I'm luckier than some, and I know it.  Feeling blessed and proud that I work hard.  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty

Vanilla, chocolate or something else completely? Chocolate. Actually, I guess it depends on what we are talking about? Ice cream? Chocolate, mint chocolate to be more exact. Milk shake? Chocolate. Cookies? Pecan sandies, today at least. What else is there? Probably chocolate, or some variation of chocolate.... Yep, chocolate, it rocks! Thanks for reading, Misty )O( Blessed Be

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small, unregarded yellow sun there sat a girl. She sat alone pondering the mysteries of the universe, such as "will my phone run out of batteries before I get home?", and "why can I not find a pair of headphones that I love as much as I loved the one the dog ate?", and of course the biggest question of all "why does a song I don't want to hear come on as soon as I am in another app, and why is this song on my phone anyway?" Knowing full well, deep in her soul that she would never find satisfactory answers to these questions, she decided to leave it to much more learned persons and plat Candy Crush. Thanks for reading!
