Tuesday...NaBloPoMo Writing Prompt

So the prompt for the day for NaBloPoMo... Has anything traumatic ever happened to you?

Yes it has on several occasions...

1. I went flying head first into the corner of a television when I was about 8 years old. Thanks to my wonderful cousin tripping me. I ended up with 300 + stitches and a nasty scar on my forehead.

2. In 2005, my father and I were fighting... The last thing I said to him was Go F**K yourself... I then left the house and went to blockbuster to return a movie and go to the bank... While waiting for traffic to clear to turn into the bank I had this strange feeling come over me, I decided to go home instead. When I returned home, there were 3 cop cars, a firetruck, and an ambulance, covering the span of 3 houses. I tried to walk in my front door, where the cops proceeded to tell me to use the garage door. When I walked into the house I saw the paddles being used to resuscitate my father. I learned that while I was at blockbuster, he had a heart attack while swimming and unfortunately he passed away that night. The moral of the story, never walk away when you are mad. You need to work it out, for you never know if nasty words will be the last thing you say to someone.


On a happier note I received two pairs of shorts from Robyn last night.. I absolutely loved them and they fit great.
