Describe one of your deepest desires and why you cannot/will not/don't have it.
Upon this hill I seek to see
Creatures beyond humanity
I hear the calls,
I see the gestures
To be with them along forever.
They call me through the endless night
To run and see all their sights
Their boundless forest and cultures beyond
They laugh and play
And sing a song
A song that I will never know.
They mustn't have me
Not Today.
'Cause it's my little sister's birthday
Horray!
I couldn't just leave my family,
My friends, and my life.
As for I would hurt them to bad
And they wouldn't see me light.

Thursday, March 1, 2012 - Unfair Universe
You are going about your day normally. Maybe you are out walking with a friend, going to work, or walking to the store. But something goes wrong. Could be just a minor inconvenience or it could be major, changing your entire day. Write about your day, real or fictional, and the unfair thing the universe did.
Yes! things are coming up Lizzie! Thr first paycheck of the month. No bills yet, but little food... Time to stock up! Hmm... What to get... Bah! Should be easy enough to figure out at the store. Nice day out. Sun is shining, snow is melting, and is that grass? Could this get any better? I probably should walk... So lazy... Wait! If I walk, I can take the bus back!
Awesome sauce! Ice scream may be in order for this! Bit cool for walking... Grr! I won't give up on this mission! Grab a sweater, grab the grocery bags. Going green! Heck, maybe I'll walk back. Oh Lizzie, you are so good! Don't I know it, Myself!
Finally out the door! Very nice... But still so lazy...! Maybe I should go and get my MP3 player... Yeah... But after that, no more delays! Groceries must be purchased! Ok! MP3 player, check; grocery bags, check; sweater, check; pants...reluctant check. Oooo, awesome walking song! This thing on shuffle? Yeah, cool.
One foot in front of the other. Not a bad day for walking. I should do this more often... Wait... Do I have my wallet? Quick self-pat down confirms... Yes! Ok, crisis averted! Scared myself for a second there... Dear lord! Resuming walking! Not a lot of other people out. Maybe they are vampires. Canada in winter seems like as good as any place for them.
Next song... Not a great walking song. Skip! I will have non of you! Ok, finally back to the walking songs... Almost there. Just a couple more songs to go. Man... I'm getting thirsty. Small bottle of water should work. Maybe a quick, salty treat, too.
In the store finally! Ok... Onion, lettuce, pickles... Teehee, let-us pickle! Lizzie, you sure are funny! Uh-oh.. laughing to myself... Try to look less crazy! Look on that old woman's face says it's not working! Ugh, what else do I need... Milk, eggs... BACON! How could I almost forget bacon? Oh bacon, I love you!
Distraction... There is a small bottle of a water-like substance! Grab that... Did I want a snack earlier? Why, I think I did! Bacon making me forget the other things I need. Like cheese... Did I grab cheese? Nope! Grabbing cheese now! That almost sounds dirty!
Back to the task at hand! Salty snacks! I think they are hiding with the Doritos and PC Cola. Slowing making my way to the Tasty Food isle. Ah! Salted nuts... Peanuts... Mixed nuts with 60% peanuts... Roasted peanuts... Where... Are... The cashews...? I don't see any...
Scandal!!
No cashews anywhere! I don't even see them in those little plastic containers that sit around looking lonely and unloved... I think I might cry... Damnit! Just when everything is going well, the universe has to deny me cashews in my life!
Maybe tomorrow... Yeah... I'll try tomorrow and see if they have cashews... Stupid store... Mumblemumblemumble...
By my groceries... Yeah, bus home is looking nice today.
