One Minute Writer: Something You Should Really Check Out
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 @ 6:15 PM
I haven't posted in 5 days. This is such a sad thing (for me). I kind of feel ashamed, because I always make some time to write, no matter how hectic school (and life) is. This is a great practice for me, and thanks to this blog I'm still somewhat near of my all-time biggest dream, becoming a writer. (During the years this was the only all-time biggest dream that didn't change, but it still doesn't mean that I want to spend my time writing books, which may never get published).
So, yeah... I'm the worst kind of blogger. And I have one more issue...
Lucky you and lucky me, I'm addicted to quite many personal and not-so personal blogs. My newest favourite is One Minute Writer. This lovely site helps lots of people to create a daily journal in a way that they only need to write for a minute every day. The whole idea is just so A-W-E-S-O-M-E. So, go and check it out, it might inspire or help you, too!
Well, this happened to me about two days ago. I was on the bus, and some lame kids were pretending to be cool by saying gross things, being loud, listening to their crappy music, and annoying everyone to hell. Unfortunately (?) ALL of my emotions show on my face. If I think "you are such an idiot", everyone can read it from it. If I think "the world is coming to an end, I guess", it shows, too. Sometimes it's quite troublesome.
Anyway, I didn't realize that a man (around age 25) has been looking at my face for quite a long time, thus, he knew what I was thinking (I hope he didn't know that I wanted to throw heavy rocks at those kids, duh!).
After a while, he went to them and told to shut up, because no one is interested in their bullsh*t. I was sooo surprised, wondering if he did this for himself, for everyone, or just me (arrogant, aren't I?). Then, he went back to the place he was standing before, looked at me, and smiled. I whispered "thank you", and smiled back at him. He was watching me until I got off the bus.
It was a bit freaky, but lovely at the same time.
