Sunshine, Lolipops, Rainbows

So last week I had just gotten off work. Silly people made me come in very early and I was tired. Mom was late picking me up and I was wearing nearly full black. This makes for a very hot, tired worker, who goes in front of Subway and sits on the chairs waiting for her ride, as they're the only chairs near. Head down, eyes closed, maybe catch fives minutes of sleep. Maybe. Could try anyway.

Almost there. Startlement. Head up. Boy near. "Here's some water". Heh, not dehydrated, has water in bag. Nice of boy though. Drinks some. Feels bit better.

Boy was kinda cute. Looks very embarrassed. Hmm, Dad waves and winks as they leave store. Dad's idea. Made boy do it. Hate it when parents do things like that. Why can't they do it themselves?

Welcome back

So sorry it's been a while. Honestly, lately I've been thinking really good blogs while working, or walking my dog, or in the middle of having some good conversations.

This post is not going to include talking about any of those from here on out. *GASP* No the dog doesn't get the spotlight right now. Maybe next time.

So I was thinking. I know alot of people who are good at writting. All after there own fashion of course. Like VCshorty would be very good at stream of consciousness (that's a hard word to spell... can't do it on first or second or third... tries again), and my boat loving friend has an extreme talent in poetry. Another who works more than is good for her, and is in the arts show this weekend... need to remember to try and go to that... is an avid reader who reflects what she reads in the way she writes. None to say she is definately not reading small children books. Another could gets his stuff published.

I got off point. I missed people. One's a cudely bear... and like I said most of my friends can write well. This idea came into my head from a conversation on the bus, and was more fully developed while during too much repetative labour at work. I have a writing challenge. There shall be two catagories, and anyone that is known well to the group may enter. I put that limitation on because if someone in the group writes in then as they are known, we would know what direction they are trying to take their writing, and how much is personality being reflected, and ya, anything else... I did have more to back that up... but I wrote this mentally at work and forgot parts. Right two catagories. One shall be 500 to 1000 words. Don't like it? Think it's too many words? Trying to convey more with less? Second catagory is Drabbles. Exactly 100 words. Not one more, not one less. Once you go over 100 you are no longer eligable for this catagory.

Right I knew I had something else to say. The reason for this all? I wanna try writing again. I haven't written a story since grade 12 english. I think it's time to get old skills out, non?

Anyway, you didn't think that that was all? Nope. Now that we have our catagories established, we shall have subjects. Well yes challenges shall come after, remind me about that please. Colors shall be our subjects. Here it goes.

Yellow- depression
Black- Hope, new life
White- Flith
Red- *chanllenge* may not be about anger, passion (love), or blood
Pink- serious

I had more... I had green and blue, but can no longer remember them. So the story or writing must be about whatever color you chose. The color must be mentioned and can be contected to the topic -Ah! Green's- death- Now to the challenge. Not to use the word that is your topic. So for yellow you can not use the word 'depressed','depression', or such like.

Still can't remember blue. Anyways, I thought it would be a good idea. Maybe make a face book group? Then everyone could see the stories and give feedback, which really is what all this is about.

It was just an idea, and it's been bugging me, haunting me throughtout work if you will.
