Future

Back to my book of things to write about!

"Write Facebook status updates for the year 2017"

(Note that I will be 24 years old in 2017)

"One more year for the Evergreen line to be finished, so they say."

"I just bought a new video game system. There goes my last couple hundred bucks."

"Is anyone hiring..."

"I should be finished with school any year now... Maybe."

"Five years at Starbucks and I'm starting to like coffee."

"Maybe being a writer isn't for me..."

"My funny. I think I lost it."

"Guys! I got my N!"

"Just got my first cat for my collection. I shall name him Sir Hairball the Fifth of Meowington."

"Holy shit, someone just asked me out. What do I do?"

"Well, time to get writing. I feel all inspired and motivated and- Oh! A notification"

"I sold a book! I think I'll spend my royalty cheque on a chocolate bar."

By this point I think I was just starting grade ten, so it's been about a years worth of books there. Not bad, I think that's nearly a book a week. Then again, most of those books only ranged between 300 and 400 words... Anyway, the next parts of the list will come later.

I Told You So

I told you my Thursday post might be delayed, though to be honest it wasn't really from doing homework. I did work on my essay, but mostly I just played Zelda, watched Netflix and ate food. It was actually my sister's last day at home before she went back to school, and the day my parents came home from vacation, so later in the day I didn't get much done. I do have the whole weekend off though, so I'll get my butt in gear and actually finish this essay. I'm not even completely sure that it's due this Monday.

Anyway, I'm going to go continue to watch Doctor Who and procrastinate some more.

Couch Potato

Sorry for the late post. I honestly have no excuse, just for the fact that I've been either watching Netflix or playing Zelda all day... Since 8am... I made the mistake of bringing the Wii U downstairs to the main TV, so even if I leave the TV to do something productive, my sister gets a hold of it and draws me back by putting a good show on. I'm a terrible person. But don't worry, I work tomorrow until Friday, so I'll get off my but those days. Until Thursday, I really have nothing to post. I also have an essay that I have to finish, so my Thursday post might be a little delayed too.

You Heartless Bastard

Sorry for missing yesterday's post; I didn't have much time between getting home from work and going to bed so that I had enough sleep to wake up at five this morning. Since I'm tired and getting sick, I'm going to use another Writing prompt.

A House plant is dying. Tell it why it needs to live

I know I've only had you for a week, and that I may not have given you as much attention as you deserve, but that is no reason to start dying on me. It's not my fault I have to work. All you do is sit at home staring out the window. No wonder you're withering away. Get off your lazy ass and do the dishes or something. Okay, okay, I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. I just don't want to lose you. You're all I have. You don't even seem to notice when I'm gone. Do you even care about my feelings, you heartless bastard? How can you let yourself die? What would I do without you? Please, just think about me, because I think I might really like you.


I think that was the most dramatic thing I've ever written...
