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 and Matt Bird MSci (Hons) AMRSC have some really great links from the stories.com days in this entry: "Invalid Entry" . 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!!
