Introspecting My way Forward.
You know those times when, like the L.C. Schafer's Grinch, you really want to tip, tip-toe into Vocal and spread some hate, hate, hate and actually 'loatheeeeeeee' the fact that you haven't won a challenge, placed second, or even gleaned a tiny slice of the 'runner up' pie.

Patchwork dandelion bullet holes at 2am.
It's 2am and I am rudely awakened by the thump, thump of tiny angry feet. I glance upon the wall, expecting to see my collection of lovely, if creepy Babushka babies. I blinked three times to be sure, but the wall is bare of my lovely patchwork collection.

Queen, an "If" story.
IF I WERE QUEEN? First and foremost, I am already Queen, by virtue of being born a woman. Oh, chuck it!!!!!! If I were Queen I would be queen of the world. I would live in a great and magnificent African Palace and be the best African World Queen there ever would be. I would enforce the laws that make women strong and fierce, while prioritizing and ensuring equality for all who walk this earthly plane. I would proudly live, love and embrace the queenliness within myself, so I can project it onto all who gaze upon my beauty and power with great expectations for their future. I would not disappoint my adoring subjects.

The inconvenience of being dead.
The warm sunlight came dancing in betwixt the shadows of my open window, as a gentle wind ruffled the curtains. Wind wrapped itself in gossamer tiny bursts and hurried to eagerly kiss my cheeks, urging me to awaken-ness. Birds twittered giddily, bringing the promise of a new day whispering upon the sunbeams.

The Interviewing of Myself.
May I just say that the self-interview idea is brilliant. I have had the best time on this platform, doing what I love to do best. Writing. Meeting the best of people here comes in at a very near second first. This has been one of the high points of my existence. I am so happy that J@V had this brilliant idea.
