Lots of times, I get the start (or middle, or end) of a story in my head. It never goes past that. I try to write more, but it is forced and unnatural. Most times, it's only a few paragraphs.

I got another one today. I thought I'd write it down and share, since it'll just rattle around in my headuntil I forget it. So here goes.

Katherine Megard left her house at precisely 9:21 am on a bright and snappish Tuesday morning. The wind nibbled at ears and nosetips while the remaining red and yellow leaves whispered to each other in their secret treetop language. Only they called her Katherine, everyone else called her Kate. Those who knew her best called her Katydid.

Her grandfather was the one who called her Katydid first, mostly as a tease but also because he was bursting with pride at all the things that Katy could do, and did. "Who made this fingerpainting? Why, Katy did!" "Who made these delicious cookies? Of course, Katy did!" As she grew, it did certainly seem that most things Kate wanted to do, she was able to do, and do it well.

On a knifish Tuesday night, with the stars poking holes in the night sky blanket to let winter take a sneak peek at the world, Kate failed to return home.

For once in her life, she was Katydidn't.

Be true to YOURSELF!

With the recent popularity of Rick Rolling, it's totally transported me back in tiiiime to all the tunes I listened to back in the day. I had a dual cassette recorder and awesome reception. I was a mix tape QUEEN. Packs of Memorex 90min tapes were always an item on the shopping list. Lots of people my age were resistant to cds if only because you couldn't make mixtapes.

ANYWAY.

Never Gonna Give You Up was pretty popular on the radio when I was in middle school. After my first rick roll (thanks Owen) I started listening to all that old synth pop I loved.

Lately, it's been a heavy rotation of Erasure. If you like being rick rolled, check 'em out. They pretty much invented synth pop.

Other than that, I've been hella busy at work, so internets is pretty low priority. :((((

Now that we've got the initial 'wowomglolyay' out our systems, on to the task of writing a REAL BLOG. WHOA. But the question occurs - what do YOU guys want to hear? It does no good for me to regale you with the banal activities of my everyday life, because they make me run away to NG!

So what is it YOU guys want to hear about? What BURNING questions have you always had but were too afraid to ask?

I probably won't reply too often to comments in this post, but I'll certainly read them all and put together some more blog posts! :D

Also some unrelated pic i found in my spam folder. These are (i believe) BobbyJenkins' hands.

yaaaaaaay
