I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

So, I'm trying to pick up the thread of Anna from where I dropped it back when I got put on bedrest in February. So far I've typed the "#" character to indicate a scene break and then hit enter for the next line. I am now checking all my email accounts, posting boards, and favorite blogs, and am goofing around with Annabel despite the fact she was acting perfectly happy talking to herself in her playpen/bassinet.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

In Susan's honour, I think my word will be: procrastination.

Because books.

In honor of moving, my word is: chaos.

Okay! Thanks for the list of words, people. In my writing class, my teacher will have us each write down a word, and then she collects them, reads them out loud, and has us write for 10-15 minutes, and we have to use all the words. (Not that anything bad happens to us if we don't -- it's just an exercise, y'know?)

Someone always contributes some utterly befuddling or really porny word. Once, it was "fur pie." One woman didn't know what a "fur pie" was -- in fact, she thought it was one word, and pronounced it "furp-ee." (I ended up being the one to explain what a fur pie is. I believe my explanation included the words cooter, beaver, and "hair, damn it, HAIR!")

Anyway.

Here's the list of words, for the record:

Caroming.
Perfect.
Absorb
Avocado.
Gecko.
Classic
ocean
Spin
winter
deadbeat
gloaming
waste
Withered.
anhedonia
procrastination.
chaos.

I am NOT asking you to drabble something with all these words. Not at all.

I *am,* however, asking you to do the following:

Challenge #14 is revenge. (Thanks, Deb!) What I want you to do is use *2* words from the list in your drabble (and they're oddly suited to the topic, actually -- it's like you guys knew what the topic would be).

Got it? Revenge, 2 words from the list, drabble drabble drabble!

Anhedonia is awful feeling, but a beautiful word. Much like when Natalie Goldberg said one of her favorite sounding words was "Bulimia"
