If You Throw A Baby Into A Lake

(doo do-do, do-do, do-do-do-doo)

On account of me wanting to become a better writer, I have concluded that it would be a good idea for me to try to simply write whatever is on my mind for about a half hour every day. This is kind of my apology to the Dadu club because that means I will have a LOT of random jabber on here that may or may not interest you. Feel free to read whatever you want and critique it as well, since I want to improve and that's the only way I know how: trial and error. (See: My Life Story)

Today I am thinking about Elmer and how cute it is that he smiles all the time. I wonder if he actually is happy inside when he is smiling or if God just made his face like that. Elmer also seems to enjoy music a great deal. He stops and listens to classical and rap, tilting his head back in forth. Not really interested in any other genres.

I went through my clothes and came up with about three bags full that belonged to other people. One was Callie's, two halves were Emily's and KC's, and a big bag was Daniel's. I've realized that I don't have many clothes. I have two little stacks on my floor, a box full of underwear/belts/scarfs and then coats and dresses in my closet. Out of these I don't like half of them because they are out of style or I am just over them.

Not a lot is on my mind right now. Daniel is being annoying and prancing around. My last shift at Subway was last night and on my break I read The Murmur, it's a school paper type thing for people in med school. There were some very interesting articles in it and a lot of big words that I didn't know. It was just like when I was little and tried to read everything I got my hands on, and most of it I didn't understand. I didn't really care though.

Along the lines of writing thirty minutes a day my other requirements I've set for myself (seeing as I am not actually employed by anything or anyone else) are researching/reading thirty minutes a day. I already read What Is The What for an hour today at the reservoir with Elmer. It was Elmer's first time at the Trace and he liked it a lot. Chased a lot of bugs and ate most of them.

Brucie is working on recording his album and I'm gonna do some vocals on some of the tracks. Brucie makes me laugh a lot, and I'm not sure why because for a long time I thought he was one of the least funny people I'd ever met. But then, anyone who shares chocolate milk with me is alright.

Oh yeah, I'm kind of recording my album after Jason is done with his so maybe I should sing thirty minutes a day too. I could try writing a song everyday. That's what this guy from Nashville did for like three years. He was really serious about becoming a songwriter. Now he's in law school. I think he just over did it. I don't want to do that. But it might happen, and that's ok. You never know.

I went to Will and Anna's wedding this morning. I've been to three out of five weddings this summer. It feels closer to thirty. Speaking of thirty, I'm done.
