Who Do I Think I Am??

This one's about thinking, kinda.

30DBC PROMPT: "Write a list of statements beginning with 'I used to think...'"

What's up y'all? Interesting prompt for "Creation Saturday", I suppose. Let me drag out the erector set and see what my keyboard can come up with.

I used to think... I was invincible. But it turns out I'm pretty breakable.

I used to think... I could be anything I wanted to be. But that requires effort, and some days I have none of that.

I used to think... "Funny" meant making people laugh, but it's more of a state of mind.

I used to think... You were supposed to fight for what you believe in. But girls don't think like that, even when they say they want you to.

I used to think... I knew it all. Or at least most of it. Some? A little? Nope.

I used to think... But then I realized I think too much and maybe that's not so healthy.

Another puzzling prompt, if you ask me. I used to think I could handle them all, if not with grace then with some sort of twisted humor. Yoda said, "Wrong, you were."

BCF PROMPT: "Describe your first experiences with WDC. First item, any trouble figuring out stuff? Funny stuff like that."

Oh wow...I don't really remember. It was so long ago!

Elle - on hiatus and Matt Bird MSci (Hons) AMRSC have some really great links from the stories.com days in this entry: "Why you yellow bellied ingrate!" . And my old portfolio back in the day looked like this: http://www.writing.com/main/redirect.php?redirect_url=http://goo.gl/bt3IF. I was really into the "Writer's Cramp" contest back then ("The Writer's Cramp" )...I wish I had saved a lot of those pieces, but I don't think I saved any of them, and lost them all the first time I let my paid membership lapse. For awhile, I stopped writing in actual notebooks when I joined up, because it was just too easy to sit in front of a computer and bang out the thoughts in my head for immediate consumption and gratification. And of course, with that you learn the hard way about not backing things up properly. I remember burning through ink cartridges on my printer the day I realized my account was about to be locked...I tried printing everything I could, but didn't have time to salvage everything. I'm happy that I could at least save what I could, and that there's some kind of archive to remind me of what I couldn't. Crazy how this internet stuff works sometimes, isn't it?

MUSICAL BREAK!!

Yup, that's all...

VITAL STATS:

Thanks to WDC, I have learned that "no one" is two words, and "Noone" is a singer. http://peternoone.com/

An early "Happy Mothers Day" to all you fantastic moms out there.

I think at one point I had more to add but probably thought better of it. Wasn't even feeling like answering the prompts today, but I managed somehow. Now I think it's time to get out of here and get some food in my belly. Peace, I think, and GOODNIGHT NOW!!
