15 things I'd like to learn

In a dream world, I could learn how to do all of these things.

  1. How to sing. I think with some training I could be okay at it.
  2. How to dance. It'd be nice to be able to dance without feeling intensely self-conscious.
  3. How to design clothes. I could finally have dresses that I like and that fit in the fabric I want. What a dream.
  4. How to sew clothes well. I know a basic stitch, so I can mend my stuff but it'd be cool to make my own dresses.
  5. How to make cocktails. Other than a rum and coke, I don't think I can make a single one.
  6. How to do makeup. I got mascara down but that's it.
  7. How to do my hair. I have like one trick and that's it.
  8. How to do a back flip. I just think this would be cool.
  9. Some self-defense moves. I did two classes and enjoyed them, it would be good to do some more.
  10. How to raise one eyebrow. I think this is just a genetic thing, but I think it would be cool to be able to do.
  11. How to French braid. I know it in theory, but not in practice.
  12. How to design escape the rooms. I'm going ot my second one tonight, so it would be cool to be able to design one.
  13. How to like tea. I'm really trying on this one.
  14. How to design a website. I would like to have my own website. Even though I appreciate this blog, it would be nice to have complete control.
  15. How to dress myself well. I honestly don't have a good sense of how to do this.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
