Whatever your thing is - writing stories, poetry, painting, etc, here is something to get your creative muse wondering.

The weather is a little nicer and you go for a stroll. You find the oddest thing - you never would have bought this for yourself, and you have no idea why you pick it up and keep it. But you do.

What is it, why does it catch your eye, and what about it changes your day, the way you think?

Go ahead and think about that. Write, sew, sculpt, make jewelry or whatever to tell this story. And post what you come up with.

LOVE THIS IDEA BRAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Count me in but give me sometime.haha

Peace

All right this is slightly bizarre but bare with me. It is nothing I bought or anything like that but it is something totally not me.
I have been studying for an assessment test to do with a part time job I am trying for and I hope to get.And this is an attempt to write a story, as i usualy write poems,Here goes....
I took the test yesterday it was 2 hours long and math was everywhere. I love letters and words, numbers are only good if they are high and in my bank account or my pocket book! So I drove about 20 minutes away threw a congested maze of motor bikers and inpatient drivers, nervous. The tension and stress dripping from my forehead and palms of my hands like rain. I arrived early shut off my cell phone and sat, waiting to be called to take the test. I was the only one taking it, so I felt a bit un easy when I was put in a tiny room. A timer was placed on the desk along with scratch paper and the test itself.
Well I just went full on at it finishing it feeling relieved it was over. I asked when I would know the results, like it was a pregnancy test or something. The nice woman said she would call me later and let me know. So back home I drove, safely navigating threw the loud pathetically slow, stop and go traffic and the half a million bikers that are here in Daytona right now.
I got the call and found that I did very well only 2 wrong out of 100 or so questions.
The woman told me I should go get my G.E.D. As I would have no problem passing the test for it. So I went on line found a number and called to get info. This being, “so not me” I felt like I had turned into someone else something alien. I will be taking a placement test and then I will be doing the G.E.D. study course and take the test in May sometime. How do I feel?? EMBARRESED, Confused, worried, nervous, silly foolish, dumb, smart, proud, strong, scared. Combative and so filled with many emotions I feel like a stew simmering atop the stove. The only good thing I can see is that I will (hopefully) get a diploma before my teen girls do. I do not think it will help me in the job searching in that with the un employment so high even people with college degrees can’t find work now a days. I feel I don’t need a strip of paper to say I am smart. I honestly think that my kids prove to the world how smart I am. My oldest tested out of kindergarten and was put into the advanced classes .she just won 850$ at the science fair here is the link to the newspaper write up about her. http://www.mytopiacafe.com/sub_detai...d=4670&town_id
My other is a awesome artists and good on the piano but dose not want to follow in her sisters foot step and I know soon she too will explode upon the world making it a much more brighter better place then before. She already has! PLAESE No body bothers my kids I didn’t put the link here for her to be harassed or anything okay! Thankyou!!
As for me …I will be working on getting my G.E.D. and hope that somewhere up there in that big ball of energy my Dad is looking down with a smile on his face!
So how did I do with my attempt at story writing? I think I should stick to poems
Peace BMW
