Two young women, Jane and July, began their journey cross country.  Their goal was to travel from California all the way to Maine.  They knew their journey would be rough. Yet, they were not dissuaded from their plans.  Both Jane and July thought that if they managed to create enough forbearance and discipline they would be able to plan out the trip and make it successfully.

This was about as close as Jane and July would come to reaching Maine; the plans.  The moment they left off from California they were confronted by an incumbent to the law.  He pulled them over because of a broken tail light which was out because of the recent neighborhood depredation of property. Several bandits were trying to usurp their car just the other night. Eventually they managed to get off with only a warning after a few moments of entreaty and guile.

The duo felt relieved to finally really start their journey cross country.  They traveled for a few hours before they began to notice that their fuel had almost dwindled away.  July suggested they make a pit stop in the next town. However upon arriving there all that was left was a pile of ashes from an apparent fire that had ravaged through the area.  Military succor was being deployed from parachutes as their tank reached empty.  The girls trip got even worse with a crazed man who walked up beside the car.  He mistook their car for his ex wife which was suing for redress and began to assail them through the car windows.

Their whole trip ended up in a flop.  Perhaps it was just because of the first unlucky event that caused the rest to ensue in misfortune. Maybe next time girls?

Scott was your typical twenty-year-old university student still living with his parents. Born and raised in a bourgeois family he and his friends often had to make do with their imagination and second class toys.  Scott and Jesse, his best friend, would often gather in his basement and have a complete metamorphosis into Batman and the Joker.  Scott would resiliently bounce around the room off of a giant spring board pretending to fly. While Jesse tried to create some Peccadillo offense. Unfortunately that crime always turned out to be him tinkling on the wall and Scott refusing to play along any longer. The Joker won every single time except for the one time Scott left the basement window open. An acrimonious bee flew in which resulted in Jesse running around with out any recalcitrant actions.

Other times Jesse and Scott would pretend that were each different feuding nations. Scott was the juggernaut nation of America and Jesse- Iraq. They would have an Imbroglio discussion with Scott even bringing in the United nations to help support his case. Eventually all would be conciliated between the two nations and no nuclear warheads would be lost.

As a pudgy little kid it took all of my effort to abstain from eating that delicious chocolate cake. I was stuck in a rote of “Do not eat the cake” for several hours. My father says that the cake came with his wife’s dowry after their marriage which unified their property.  Of course I was shocked to hear this because we are waifs who wander around a Loch in Michigan.  I suppose my new mother must have gotten it from the Monster who lives below the Loch’s surface.  We have a strong amity with him as we continuously drop pebbles to create a ripplet warning him when people are approaching.  That cake must have been a gift.

I have a trepidation that my blog will suffer from seclusion if I use prattle rather than words.  I am also worried that every day that the Earth gyrates lawmakers are coming closer to making obesity against the law. It is in my hopes that this fails as many Americans would then be transgressing on a daily basis. I suppose that we should all just inherit a dendroid attitude before we are wizen and enervate society.

Introducing another new series: Words!  Inspired by my English teacher; Words will be a sketch drawing of numerous vocabulary words.  I’m combining my love for art with a need to expand my vocabulary.  It is in this process that I hope to learn a few things as well as share some art with you. Who knows, maybe you might even learn a new thing or two.

This weeks vocabulary terms are: affliction, cowering, fetter, infamous, lament, livid, loathsome, murky, pilgrimage, purge, relish, talon, taut, and writhing.   I already knew what a bunch of these words meant, but completed the assignment as such.

Words and Rapid Draw will now be on alternating daily schedules.  Don’t be too sad though, you’re still getting a daily dose of something. (Minus the skipped day yesterday for planning)
