A Morning in the Life of Flaky McFlake

leahbobetSo, yesterday was pretty well-spent. I didn't finish the paper, but came within a page of doing so before the lightbulb in my brain went out, and I figure I can handle a page this afternoon or evening before having to hand it in tomorrow night. That is, if I don't give in to tiredness and nap (tossed until 4am last night) or flop or read Daughter of Hounds all afternoon 'cause ooh prose pretty. >.>
Also, this morning after my shower when I turned on the computer it told me I had no internet connection again, and for the heart-stopping three minutes between that and when I rebooted again while resetting power to the modem, I thought I was going to have a very bad day. So yeah. Maybe I just want to read Kiernan and not have stress. Yes.
(This post is entirely turning into Why I Should Blow Off Classwork Today.)
But after I do these things, which I will have to do even if I blow them off today, I will want to write fiction. So to stir that up, let's have a rousing rendition of...
...the First Line Meme!
"Caravanserai"
The difference – or so say the caravan drovers of the outer flats and environs – the difference between man and sand is entirely a matter of texture.
"Bears"
TBA
"I Was Born On A--"
"Were not," the big boy says, and right away Princess Emmeline Anastasia Guadalupe the Red knows she's gonna have a bad day.
"Language Lessons"
Naanaa's house smells like blackberry tea on Sundays, the day Helen takes the streetcar across to Cabbagetown for language lessons.
"Mary, Mother Full of Grace"
It changed.
At first it was a book, leatherbound and embossed, because the act of putting pen to paper was still sometimes women's work.
"The Whole Story"
You will never get the whole story.
"Une Annee Sans Neige"
TBA
