A Gift for Emily
It was a few days until Christmas and Emily had yet to buy anything for her family. She wanted to get her mom and dad and baby henry something for Christmas. Her tenth birthday had been in October and she had a lot of money saved from that and allowances, nearly a hundred dollars. Her parents were at work, her grandma, who she was named after, was babysitting, and baby Henry lay sleeping on the floor. He wasn’t that much of a baby anymore though, he was two now and a terror. She needed to go shopping but she knew if she asked her grandma to take them she’d say ‘no’ since Henry was so hard to keep in line at home, let alone at the store. Then she had an idea.

Folly and Ignorance
He rolled over on his bare mattress and opened his eyes to see Shakespeare sitting on his futon with a bowl of popcorn, watching a movie. He rose up suddenly and rubbed his eyes and all he could manage to say was “Billy? What are you watching?” He shook his head unable to comprehend how he could have just called one of the world’s greatest geniuses of literature, ‘Billy’. But ‘Billy’ didn’t seem to mind, he was laughing at the movie, he slapped his leg and looked over at Sebastian.

Dear Sarah
MONDAY Dear Sarah, Hey, it’s me again. I don’t really know what to do about this situation. I already said yes because he made me feel bad for him in front of a lot of people. I don’t want to go out with him. He’s weird. Like really, really weird. I know I should have said no but I just couldn’t do it, my reputation was at stake. I am the “nice girl” and this was like the tenth time he’s asked me out. I know you told me not to talk to him, but I am not good at hurting people’s feelings. I’m just not, I’m not Karen. Please don’t tell her I said that, by the way. Besides all that I need to talk to you and the others before my date this Friday because I have an idea. Maybe if I act like someone that he doesn’t like then he will never ask me out again, but I really don’t know what he doesn’t like. We need to find out and maybe stalk him a little to figure it out. Remember when we stalked that girl Karen didn’t like and she ended up transferring schools. And then Karen made us stalk that guy she had a crush on, and he left town. I felt wrong about it at the time but honestly, we had a lot of fun and we were good at it. And anyway, maybe this time it could really help. No one likes Daren and if we can get him to leave town it would help everyone. He’s a weirdo and the whole school would be better off without him. Please write me back before school is out today. I really can’t wait to go home and get a shower because talking to him made me feel gross. I really hope he doesn’t try to touch me on our date, or I might throw up all over him. And that’s the last thing he needs. He’s unattractive enough as it is.

Water's Edge
Cordelia felt like she needed to get to the cabin as quickly as possible. She had just gotten off work and was on her way to her first vacation in what felt like forever. When she finally saw it, her heart leaped, she hadn’t remembered her grandmother’s cabin being so grand. It looked like something out of a calendar. Dark wood logs stacked three stories with a wraparound porch, surrounded by the polychromatic leaves of autumn. Getting away from the coast was exactly what she needed, regardless of what her friends had to say. Living on the beach had not helped her anxiety about water. This place seemed as dry as it could get and that was exactly what she really needed.

The Pain Consuming
The year was long, and I waited by the bus stop watching the blazing colors of the autumn float by my face. There was a wilted pear tree next to me and a chill in the air, I felt the sinking feeling of the world around me dying. That’s what autumn was, wasn’t it? The swan song of nature, bursting into a cornucopia of color and spender in one last attempt to get the attention of the inhabitants of the earth. I got on the bus and sat alone in the back hoping no one would look at me or talk to me. No such luck though because a man came and sat in the seat beside me.

Ice Breaker
After she had buried the body she brushed her hair, then put on her white gown and walked out to the backyard. She looked over to the mound of dirt and smiled. She made her way out on the pier over the lake and looked down at the frozen water. She carefully stepped down onto the hard surface. She walked slow and deliberate, step by step until she was far enough out to see the vast mountains around her. She knew this lake well, knew exactly where the thin spots of ice would be, she stood on one and waited. The weight of her and the warmth of her bare feet would soon do the work for her. She heard a small cracking sound and then another. There was no going back, she fell through.

Almost Doesn't Count
This is my way of honoring the memory of Glenn Frey, who will live on in the character Russell Hammond of the movie "Almost Famous". The loveable character that is so misinterpreted by so many. I have yet to see anyone completely correctly read this character. It is important that we thoroughly see a character for who they really are, in order to correctly interpret everything else that they do. The reason for the title of this blog is that a lot of people do understand a lot of things about Russell. But without truly understanding what type of person he really is and why he does everything he does, you can't truly understand why he does any of the things that he does. "Almost" doesn't count.

Underrated and Miscategorized Women in Music
The reason I love Gwen stefani so much is because she is the first woman I heard that ever sounded totally different and it was great, I grew up not listening to much rock. Country and pop was all I heard on the radio, and I loved to sing, but I didn't sound like any of those people, I can't sing like a pop diva like Whitney Houston and I can't sing like Reba and I was like my voice just doesn't fit in, and then no doubt came out with "don't speak" and I saw the video and thought, that girl is so cool and she has so many different levels and uniqueness to her voice, so I bought tragic kingdom and played it over and over and her lyrics were like mine, I'm like "there are like a thousand words in this song and it's okay, she has a lot to say in this one song and it's working," and it's like she was the first person on the radio that I personally could relate to, she didn't seem like some star in a distant land of fame and fortune, she said things in her songs that I personally went through and one day I was at a pacsun shopping and I was singing along to "my own worst enemy" by lit (playing on their tv) and my sister goes "you kind of sing like Gwen stefani" and I remember that moment to this day because it was awesome, for one that I wasn't singing her song and I wasn't trying to sound like her but I just had finally found a successful person that had the same style as me, and I learned to sing from her and i am just so glad she is like the way she is because it makes me feel like my weirdness is okay too and that regardless if you don't really sound the way people think you should, if you have a passion for something, keep doing it, because there is a reason you're doing it and you may not be a opera singer quality but who wants to listen to people that all sound the same, all the time? I've learned more of that afterward with other singers but Gwen was the first and best example of that and I'm so glad she was on mainstream and I got to hear it and learn from her.
