Time is Marching On

See what I did there?  😊

Seriously, February has gone by very fast, even though each day moved fairly slowly.  I've done a lot of assignments, written a few short stories, and stayed alive.  That's always a good thing for me.  Also, I've been meaning to post more these past few weeks, but I have had no time - and I've been out of town.  Please accept these excuses and don't yell at me too much.

Writing:
Three short stories, for class.  I do like them, as rough drafts.  One is a romantic comedy in which four people die.  I didn't intend to kill them off, it just kind of . . . happened.
That's about it, unfortunately.  Oh, unless you count the sonnet I wrote for another class.  With the additional writing this semester, I haven't even touched my WIPs recently.  

Reading:
The Spinner and the Slipper by Camryn Lockhart
Perelandra by C.S. Lewis
The Evaporation of Sofi Snow by Mary Weber
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - in progress 



Best Conversations: 

Youth pastor: "So, how do y'all like your popcorn?"
Me: "Popped."
Youth pastor: "Did you really just say popped?"
Me: *grins*

I was mentally arguing with myself one day, very sarcastically, and the voice in my head snarked back at me with this:

One of the symptoms of a heart attack is a sense of impending doom. You have that every day when you look at all the things you need to get done.


"Give a moose a muffin, and you'll have a moose for life."

Sibling: "I slept well, and I like my waffles soggy."

One Friday, I had a get together with some of my closest friends, and we played (as always) live-action Mafia.  So . . . (not real names)

Tom (to his brother): Ouch!  You kicked me in the leg!
Brother: Yes, I know.

I kept bumping into Tom in the dark, too.
Me: *backs into him*
Tom: *screams*

Me: *walking with outstretched hands so as not to run into people*
Tom: "Why are you feeling my face?"
Me: "Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Me: *dies*
Friend: *trips over me*  Dead body!  Dead body!
Sibling: "Brianna's the Mafia!  I know it!"  Lights come on.  "Oh."
Everyone else: *bursts out laughing*


So, that was my slightly crazy, very homework filled, and perfectly enjoyable February!  Here's hoping March will be just as wonderful - for you and me both!  What are you looking forward to?  And please tell me I'm not the only one who has weird conversations on a regular basis . . .
