Musical Pipe Dream: I’m playing the keyboard emphatically by slapping my hands on the keys almost like I’m drumming. I lean into the microphone hanging over the right side of the keyboard to sing backup. For the last minute of the song, I get up and do the electric slide .

Blurb 1/365: Bitches, man. I’m am not using the word to demean women. I’m using the word as a name for a category of human.

I understand that there are bitches that just have that certain personality type; like they just don’t know or care that they’re bitches and are just naturally selfish. They came out of the womb that way.

But those entitled bitches. Those ones that have learned somewhere that they deserve more than somebody else for some insane reason nobody remembers. Those ones that enjoy to make people feel uncomfortable and laugh when they achieve doing so. They step on people to get to where they want to be.

Those are the ones that need stay away from me and my family, or, quickly learn the lesson that they shouldn’t cross nice people.

If I could go with my family to live in Animal Crossing, I would.

Blurb 1/365: Dogs are cool. I realized today that when I give my dog food, he counts that as another reason to like me. They always see the better side of anything.

Blurb 1/365:

Short Fictional Story: Soy Sauce

She sat in front of her makeup counter in her silk slip with her knees together and feet rested slightly to the right to accommodate for the height of her tall, black suede heels.

“I think everything is finally starting to feel right in my life,” she said as she dabbed Kikkoman soy sauce behind her ears.

“It’s like everything is falling into place.” She dabbed more soy sauce on her left wrist and let the drop retain its meniscus momentarily before placing her right wrist over her left and softly rubbing them together. A small drop fell onto her thigh and she nonchalantly rubbed it into her stalkings with her thumb.

She was found the next morning on the floor, still in her slip and heels, with the sculpted waves of her hair covering her face. The tips of her fingers and palm of her right hand pointed upward. Just outside of her reach was an empty bottle of soy sauce.

Blurb 1/365: It seems like every year that passes, I have more baseline ailments. Like … sometimes I gotta sit up in bed because of acid reflux and/or nausea. When I was a kid, I could eat two scoops of ice cream and then fall asleep with my head hanging off of the couch. If I tried to do that now, I’d probably have to call in sick for work. HAHAHA. P.S. Tonight’s one of those nausea nights :O( S’ok, I’ll just sit up and turn up The Simpsons :O)

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing a dress with a fitted bodice and puffy skirt. I’m holding either end of the bottom of the skirt and swaying back and forth to the beat while singing harmony. In between breaks in singing, we do side step turns to the left and to the right.
