New story idea. I think this one could go somewhere. I think I'm gonna start tonight.

I took my little brother to see Over the Hedge today, and he asked me if I ever stop and think about my life. I told him that I do it every damn day, and he told me the same thing. Then he asked me if I ever think about being someone else. I was like holy crap, this kid is turning into me. It's kinda cool to see someone 8 years younger than you who ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm in the middle of the road, stopped my car, and was looking up at the stars. It was like 1 in the morning, so there was no one on the road. A cop pulls up behind me, to make sure everything is okay, then he leaves. I figure I should get off the road, just in case, so I drove to a parking lot. When I got to the parking lot and looked up ( Read more... )

Best compliment I ever got: I was working on my fence, replacing some planks, sweating like a pig, hair in a ponytail, and my little brother is watching me, and he says "you're cool". That made me feel good.

This kid feels like 68 gagillion times better than he did yesterday. But damn, do I miss my friends. I had no idea how much I depended on everybody. We're pretty much gonna have to figure something out about summers. I don't know if I can do this for four more years. I mean, it's only been two days, and I'm already itchin. I think it's the prospect ( Read more... )

I left my house at a little bit after 7, needing a new setting to have my night of reflection. I hopped on highway 11, and just started driving. I listened to all kindsa different music and thought about the past year, all the things that happened to me, good and bad. Ended up taking all kindsa crazy back roads and ended up in Hoover, then Vestavia ( Read more... )

I think I'm gonna go for a drive, roll the windows down, and listen to music. Feels like one of those kinds of nights.
