Not the Mars family. That much is obvious. I'm not sure exactly how things would be but I know they'd be drastically different from the current situation. Not that I hate my life or anything... but seriously, I live in a town where Vinnie Van Lowe is sheriff over my dad. I really do believe Vinnie's a step down on the evolutionary ladder from Lamb ( Read more... )

Not to sound self-pitying or anything, because I'm not, but the list of things I haven't lost in the past 4 years? So much shorter and less depressing than the one of things I have. Just saying. Besides, how many times can I really write about my mom or Lilly or being a social reject at Neptune High? It's starting to get ridiculous. They're all ( Read more... )

You know, I've honestly never really thought much about having a super power. Mostly because it's the stuff of comic books and superhero cartoons. In a way a total non-issue for me. I have a tendency to only deal with the facts as they are in front of me, because when I get too carried away with hopes and dreams, they always get squashed. Call me ( Read more... )

I once said to my dad, when he was insisting I shouldn't (or at least that he didn't want me to, which when I think about it is really pretty big of him... he never once badmouthed her to me. I did enough of that myself.) think of my mom as the villain in the collapse of my family that 'the hero is the one that stays and the villain is the one ( Read more... )

"The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place." The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier Clay, by Michael Chabon.Not that I miss the way my life was before everything was turned upside down - I mean, I obviously miss Lilly ( Read more... )

Let's assume this is possible and I just take the fact that I go from nearly twenty to a child in a blink as normal, for no logical reason that I can think of I actually do have a list of things I'd want to do if I were say, six again. They're completely lame, and childish, and things I couldn't possibly do for a myriad of reasons... but that's ( Read more... )

Topic 188 - Write two letters: One to someone you hurt and the other to someone who hurt you.I don't even know where to start with these. There's probably a half a dozen people I've hurt that even sort of deserve an apology. Even more I wouldn't mind yelling at for a while. As for people who've hurt me? Well, at least half the people I'd write to ( Read more... )

Moment of triumph? I was supposed to have two of them last year, but I was effectively robbed of both of them because of Aaron Echolls. You know what, though? Not getting some stupid scholarship named after my murdered best friend (even though it would have meant a free ride to any college I could get in to) because I walked out of a final exam to ( Read more... )
