An Owl Hoo Loves Anchors

Anchors and owls are my obsession right now, along with finding my favorite authors and finding out who I want to be as an author. I'm finding that writing takes a lot of work, a lot more work than I've been putting in, at least. Here, I will begin that work, the work of finding myself and sharing my stories, even if they are just the little ones. I honestly hope you enjoy. :) And, please, ask me anything and everything.

There are too many skies, too many clouds to memorize.

Wanderlust (Another)

There is so much beauty all around, if only we stop to look.

And all I have ever done is stopped to look.

I need new places to stop and look.

I was born for new places to stop and look.

I haven't posted in months.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to share something...

I've been super lazy lately...except for when I have alcohol in my system.

I have a feeling that I'm about to become one of those writers...

I might never live another day that I haven't had a drink.

I might wake up and have a drink tomorrow, just so I can do things before I get so tired I can't stay awake any longer.

Maybe.

Probably not.

Just once, I'd like to see a bomb that needs diffusing...only it has different colored wires than normal, like yellow and cyan or something crazy like that.

So I'm sitting in Panera (It's kind of like a big version of a coffe shop), right? Right. And this guy across the way sneezes, and it sounds really funny. Like...  EH-heh rrrEH-heh yyyEH-heh ...and the guy he's sitting with, who's the one facing me, is looking at his phone, but he sees me staring and laughing, and he starts giggling.  It's a wonderful experience.

Hey everyone, I am super excited to announce that my journal-making business is super under way and ready to go! :) Check out the website for it!

Guess who's 24 and still gets to lick the bowl when mom makes brownies.

BE JEALOUS.

Laughappy

I think I just created a new word. 

I was writing, and I decided to change out "laugh" for "happy."

Thus, I created "laughappy."

Happy laughing.

Or, someone who laughs way too much.

Yep.

[theanchoredowl]

And I would hear the noises and imagine the fun and the violence that occurred while I was shut up like a spider under a boot in the darkness of the closet.

Now that I've got some Midol in me, it's time to get writing.

I've been in complete agony all day today, lying in bed or in the den using my dogs as heating pads, and I've felt all day that my life is being completely wasted. I've done absolutely nothing all week. But mommy brought me home some pain meds and Chinese food, and I'm feeling A LOT better...and A LOT more motivated than I have in weeks. :)

Let's get going. :)

I don't want a knight in shining armor. I want a knight in dirty, torn up, holey armor. It means he's been through battles and lived. Which means he isn't afraid to fight for us. And that is so beautiful.

STORY TIME!!! (again)

So I'm sitting in Panera enjoying some chips and free Wi-Fi, and there's this guy in a four person booth across the room. 

This tiny Asian lady comes and sits down at the opposite corner. It's not like there aren't other places for her to sit--there's an empty table right next to the one they're sitting at.

The guy looks at her funny and says, "Um, I'm sitting here," and he stretches his arm protectively over the rest of his side of the booth.

She replies, "No, I sit here. You leave." It was kind of like that was the only seat in the entire restaurant she ever sits in.

So the guy looks sooooo confused, and he glances at me, then gets up and leaves.

Seriously, if this was New York, they wouldn't have thought twice about it. They would have just shared the thing and not spoken to each other...or cared.

At least me and the elderly couple next to me got a good laugh out of it.

Other writers: cranking out a book a year

Me: Um, uhhh... Once upon a time....?

[theanchoredowl]

Yesterday evening, as I opened the car door to grab dinner and bring it inside, I (somehow) managed to open the door right in my own face. 

Seriously...I got a goose egg on my forehead. 

And there is still a lump there now, haha.

Boy Blues

So guys, I don't really know what's going on in my love life right now.

I don't have much experience with guys.

But there are at least two I am really excited about right now.

One of them is...let's call him Baul. (Because I love coming up with crappy nicknames for guys.)

I have history with Baul. He moved away a few years ago to be with his family. I haven't talked to him at all in that time, but he was at church yesterday, and he gave me a huge hug, and I said "IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOOOOUUUU!!!" And then I got his email after service before I left, and he'll be expecting an email from me soon, but I have no idea what to say. He was only here for the weekend. :/

The other guy is...let's call him Gack.

Gack is the leader of my friend's church, which is kind of geared toward college and high school aged peeps. I'm friends with Gack on Facebook, but I don't really see him outside of that church setting. I really like him, and it seems like he likes me, too. Although, I'm not really sure about why that is. He knows I get depressed at times. Maybe it's because I was honest about that? I really don't know.

I have a lot of history with Baul, but Gack is actually on my side of the country, haha.
