Write for Ten - write for 10 minutes about anything

Once upon a day, there was a ... / Write for Ten

Recently, I have found a deep love for writing, and have found a few sites that have helped me and timed me to get a story written down and done. The one shown below was written in ten minutes. I was immediately stopped after that ten minutes. You can go to, http://writeforten.com/ to write your own ten minute long story, or go to http://writeforten.com/posts/282 to read this story and post a comment! Enjoy

Once upon a day, there was a light wind rustling the trees. It was a cool summer evening, and Micaela and Johnny were outside playing. It had been raining for weeks and weeks, and it had finally stopped. There was a lot of mud and new treasures buried in the mud to be discovered. Micaela ran over to the tall oak tree that had a dirty old tire swing hanging from one of its sturdiest branches. The rope was caked with dirt from many grubby hands grabbing it over the years. Johnny, who was Micaela’s younger brother, was squatting over in the mud, humming to himself as he picked up some worms, and put them in a jar to keep as pets. Micaela didn’t object to this, she remembered the good old days when she found that big snail and did the same thing.
She knew that Johnny’s worms would probably die, but usually, Johnny kept good care of his pets. He put loads of dirt into his little glass jar, then plopped the worms in there, and dumped a few more plastic shovelfuls in there on top of them. Then he screwed a lid on that had little holes delicately punched into the top.
Micaela and Johnny were siblings, but they were the best of friends. Johnny was in 2nd grade, and Micaela was in 6th. Although there was a gigantic age difference between the two, there was just something about them that repelled quarreling.
Micaela didn’t have many friends at school. In fact, she had none. She was a bit of a wall flower at school, who filled up the margins of her notebooks with fantastic drawings of other worlds and other creatures. But no one ever saw these drawings except for Johnny, because no one really took the time to come near her. Johnny though, appreciated these drawings more than anyone else. He would imagine that they were real, and that if they went outside into the mud caked lawn, and out to the big oak tree with the tire swing, then they could climb up the wooden ladder up to their tall club house high up in the trees, and see these brilliant worlds for themselves.

Brain Fart.

Sorry about not posting recently! I'm having a major brain fart with thinking up stories. Could it be the fact that I don't have nearly as much time as usual because the huge amount of homework that has hit me like a ton of bricks, or could it be that being in a new, intimidating school, can really stop all the prank pulling till you get familiar with the school.. All I know, is that I won't be forking any teachers ceilings, or stealing all the letter "E's" around here, mostly because there ARE no cut out letter E's! LAME!
I'm working on a new prank, I'm not going to let out any secrets about it yet.. its not all the way figured out, but once I can make sure that it is fool proof, and figure out how to pull it without getting caught (and make sure its legal...) then I plan to let 'er fly.

DRIVING PERMIT!! And that horrid DMV.

HOORAY! HOORAH! HUZZAH! WOOT! After struggling to read the worst book known to man kind, a.k.a; "The Oregon Driving Manuel" I finally went to the DMV (oh the horror) grabbed a number (39, and they were only on 7), took a seat, and sat, for 45 minutes or sheer pain. What is wrong with the DMV?? Honestly. Have they taken the hint from multiple comedians, SNL, and just about everyone else who makes fun of their horrid system? Doubt it. So I sat there waiting, and finally, he yelled,"39!?" and I ran to the front desk, eager and very nervous to take the worst test I swear I will ever take, the Learners Permit Test. Once I finished, I realized that I had to have my Statement of Enrollment (SOE) to actually GET the permit. So I had to go home, permit less, and wait until the next day when I had the SOE. Next day, back to nightmareish land, or DMV, and got to get another number, this time I got lucky, 18!!! So I sat there, and they called, I got my picture taken, and they handed me all powerful, PERMIT.. Little did they know what they were getting themselves into.. heh heh.. I mean, WHAT?

SO, I have driven in a quiet, mostly car-less neighborhood, for 15 minutes, and successfully, dodged ALL the cars I could see! Hoorah!

Hey! We Moved!!!

Hey Everyone!
One of my earlier posts is about the POSSIBILITY of my family and I moving to Bend, OR. For a long amount of time we just went on with our lives and no one made any offers or paid any notice to our house. Then, out of the blue, a nice young couple decided to check out our house. And. Then. They. Made a full priced offer on our house an hour before we were going to take the sign out of the yard! WOW! So guess what! WE MOVED TO BEND! Hey, I know this has absolutly NOTHING to do with pranks and stuff like that, but even though I know only about 3 people read my blog, and all three of them already know this, I'm just telling you again. Hey-oh! So we have lived in Bend, SUCCESSFULLY, for nearly three weeks! Everything is going great, I got my DRIVING PERMIT (more about that later), started high school, got the house unpacked, made three friends (HOORAY!) and finally had a good homemade meal. So, yes, if you are one of the three or four people who look at this blog, then you should know that we are doing great, and I miss all of you! If I don't know you, then thanks for reading. Keep it up. Anyways, have a great day. Heh heh..
