Have you read?

Oh lord. I have a migraine, it was a very very busy day at work, I'm incredibly tired, and I really don't want to do this.

But, I've done so well completing these prompts, that really, I can't and shouldn't stop because I don't want to think.

Day 10: Your Favorite Book.

 Like my favorite movies, I have a hard time picking a favorite, plus I rarely ever re-read books.
Wait no, that's a lie, I do re-read books, and I guess I can consider those favorites!

Among those we have

"She Come Undone" by Wally Lamb
"The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan
"Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman
All of the Harry Potter books, but those have to be read in order and one right after the other. Binge reading if you will.
"Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts
"Jurassic Park" by Michae Crichton
"The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston

Yeah, those are the books that I have re-read way more than a few times. If you see them in my bookshelf, their spines are broken, the pages have bee dog-eared, there may be even food stains on the pages (Popsicle drips on the HP books. What? They came out in the summer). Those books have been well loved and well read, and I will continue to read them every time I need a little refresher, it feels like going home.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
