Fiction Prompt#1

My mother never

My mother never went to any of the meetings.

She preferred to sit at the Starbucks across the street, on the patio and smoke cigarette after cigarette until the two hours she was supposed to be in AA were up. When I expressed shock at her truancy, she shrugged and said, Ive got it worked out, and looked squarely at...

And on my death bed/I will pray to the gods and the angels/Like a pagan/To any one who will take me to heaven/

-Audioslave
Like a Stone

I used to be terrified of anything related to death...I don't really feel that way any more. I guess it's the best present I can give myself.


I hope I can get my film developed by next week....

I walked to Oakhurst Community Garden with a friend. I didn't know that it was less than 6 blocks from campus, wow. Alexis said there was a coffee shop a few blocks down from the garden, and I didn't know that either (I might go down there tomorrow). It was surprisingly small, and things were growing out or getting mown down and mulched in preparation...

Went to the Intro to Fiction class today and my Postcolonial Lit class. Intro to Fiction is a bit of a dissapointment and the waitlist is too long for the Intro to Poetry workshop. I wanted to work on a longer, mystery piece and one girl is starting on writing a horror novel, but to both of our dismay, the instructor wants the class to...

I realized that I have hoodies and sweaters and a coat, but perhaps only one or two fitting long sleeved shirts. This must be rectified later today. I want to...

Still awake. I'll fall asleep in a couple of hours, though.

I went to Riverbanks Zoo yesterday. Before that it had been about 14 years since I've been to one. I had a headache for most of the day, so I left after about an hour and a half, but I still managed to have a good time without any major dissapointments. I should have taken a camera (I left both my disposable one and my...

The first two Buffy DVDs will be here tomorrow. I forgot I have the two-at-a-time out, I was all ready to watch Tipping the Velvet and Chutney Popcorn. Hopefully I'll get to watch them before I leave for college (wherever that is).

I just signed up for Netflix. I was a bit dissapointed that they don't have an adult section like GreenCine, but it is cheaper, and I got over it quickly. I'm getting Kinsey-since it's never in at Blockbuster, Chutney Popcorn (about an Indian lesbian woman who decides to be a surrogate parent for her sister-a Turkey baster is involved-gasps!), Tipping the Velvet (about lesbian showgirls...
