August Writing Challenge
Hi!
So there be this thing that ms peskipiksi pointed out, here:

I think I'd like to try it. I'm so out of shape writing - I speak in 140 character bits, now, and facebook shares, and pictures of food. If you know me, you know I'm deeper than that, and as always there's a piece of me that misses writing with more words.
So what the heck. Natalie even gives you the topics! How much thinking do you really need?
"Day 1, Thursday. The story of your life in 250 words"
We'll make do with 197.
36, so far. Michigan. Mother, father, step-father, step-father, step-father. Introvert, shy, smart kids' classes, poodle perm, big glasses. Moved a lot. Turned 18, learned about death (step-father #1). Went to college, learned that smart boys like smart girls. Spent 4 years a step left of reality with step-father #2. Achieved success! Learned about sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, gay clubs, friendship, drinking. Learned more about death (step-father #2). Moved to Cincinnati, planned a wedding. Opted for terrible, no-good breakup instead. Got a job. Made friends. Drank too much. Met a nice boy and went ahead with that wedding deal. Celebrated an anti-versary when we divorced 3 years to the date after the wedding. Went to counseling and learned an awful lot about myself. Got a new job. Met another nice boy. Learned more about death (beloved cat). Learned about love. Bought a new car, a new house, and a wedding license. Learned about terrible people and hope (started volunteering at an animal shelter). Adopted 4 cats. Made more new friends. Learned about being monogamish. Learned about LAN parties. Spend a lot of time missing the days when I could sit on a chair and read for 8 hours straight.
