Sunday, November 23, 2008  Random memories... (Permalink) I saw a picture recently of this red station wagon from my childhood. Before the old days when everyone had to be buckled in, I remember the backseat would be taken out and it would let my siblings and I just lay around and color or play games on long road trips. That was fun awesome times. Of course, it led to the endless rants from my father because we always left our crayons in the back... You can imagine how fun it is to see the crayons melted into the mats. I remember being at July 4th fireworks and at nights, when we're heading home, my sister and I would lay in a certain position where we can see the moon through the side window and wonder how it could easily follow us anywhere... It was sad that the station wagon was sold off. Trips were no longer fun when you're forced to sit up and be buckled in. *smirks* Posted by Blue Green Gem at 12:01 AM EST Share This Post Post Comment | Permalink Saturday, November 22, 2008  Perhaps a Haiku; To try to Enlighten you; In my own fun way.

Despite living on various military bases, I am thankful that my childhood was pretty much stable. My parents never had any nasty arguments or anything like that. I feel that I am extremely lucky in this area. 2. My closest friend. Even though I have found some old friends through the net, I found that we've changed way too much and I haven't kept in contact with a single one after finding them! My closest friend knows a lot about me that no one else does and I just don't see this friendship ending in any possible way except 'drifting apart' but we chat way too much for that to happen. 3. And of course, the obligatory food mentioning. French Fries. Whoever was the very first person to stare at a potato and said, "They should be cut into little sticks. I bet they'd taste good with some ketchup!" deserves a big gift basket.

What is writing like? Write a simile that starts with the phrase, "Writing is like ... ." Writing is like having a thousand muses as friends. They're either telling you tons of story ideas at once and nothing fits or they're too busy arguing amongst themselves leaving you staring at a blank page...

(Permalink) Topic: Miscellaneous "Write about a situation where your best friend was dishonest or outright lied to you. Did it change your friendship?" Oo, I like this topic here. If I roll my mind allll the way back to childhood, I had a best friend while living at this one place. We were the closest of friends when compared to anyone else. I thought he would never lie to me or anything. While he was looking through my baseball card collection, I told him that he could help himself to any duplicates he finds. I was playing a video game while he was looking through my cards. Later, I found out through a friend that he had come through, boasting about taking all of my best cards. I confronted him and he didn't deny it! What made it even worse was that he refused to give the cards back. Needless to say, I no longer trusted him even though he acted like we were still friends. It wasn't long after that I had a different best friend. Ha! Kids.

(Permalink) These kind of days usually happen on Saturday as if on cue. It's a grey day. The entire sky is just one hue of grey. No rain and no mugginess. It's very cool if not cold and there's a constant slow breeze. This is my favorite kind of weather on any day. I don't know why I like it. It usually reminds me of yardsales when my parents used to head out every weekend.

(Permalink) Topic: Miscellaneous I was chatting with a friend and the topic came up where there was a theory that every choice you make will create a parallel universe where you made the other choice instead. This would mean there are vast amounts of universes where there are so many possibilities. It would explain dopplegangers where two lines would overlap momentarily or whatever else... I don't know. On and on and all that gibberish. It's just hard to believe that every choice would create a parallel universe. If someone held out a blue ball and a green ball, I'd always go for the blue ball. No doubt about it. There is no way that a parallel universe would stem out to where I chose the green ball instead. I imagine something like that would only happen if you were faced with a decision where you could go either way but you're stuck on the fence and you're struggling. "What do I do? What do I do??" ... and bam, parallel universe where you went the other way. I guess it makes me wonder about things that I've chosen to do or didn't choose to do and what resulted from them... Was it better? Or did it get worse? I could use one of those nifty mirrors where I could ask, "What if I......"

(Permalink) Topic: Gaming I got Brain Age 2 for Christmas last year. I used it regularly for about two weeks and then used it off and on over periods of months. I chatted with a friend today about Brain Age so I decided to pop the game in. Turns out the last time I had it in my DS was in September. I gave it a whirl for today... Whaaaat? My brain ain- You kidding me?? ... Well, it turns out that the game really was kidding. And my real brain age isssss.... My brain age is 46! Apparently my poor brain needs more stimulation. Time to hit SUDOKU. Posted by Blue Green Gem at 12:01 AM EST Share This Post Post Comment | Permalink Friday, November 14, 2008  TGIF - Five Places To Visit (Permalink) Topic: Miscellaneous TGIF!
