Throwback Thursday: Old Microfiction Story I wrote!

Heyyy everyone! A few years ago I took a creative writing class and we learned about Microfiction, which is just a really short short story... and I wrote one, not for class... just for fun. I was going to write one of these a day... but that never happened. Maybe I'll start doing this more often again? Also I've revised this a bit... so I guess it isn't that much of a throwback... but you know.

The Halloween Party 

It was at a Halloween Party that they met. She only went to the party to upstage her ex's new girlfriend. He was only going to impress the cute intern at his office that he thought might like him. He wanted to dress as Batman, but seeing as how a Batman movie just came out... he decided against it. He dressed as Robin instead, figuring there would probably be no other Robins.

She dressed as Sexy Batgirl. Not slutty BatGirl, because she didn't want to actually get back with her ex. She just wanted to look good enough so that she could rub it in his face, not because she liked revenge but because she liked Justice. She was cheated on, and he needed to see what he was missing out on.

When she saw Robin, she couldn't help but laugh. A superhero party and someone was dressed as Robin! Maybe she should talk to this guy... he was kind of cute.

"Hey Boy Wonder," she said, "Want a drink?"

"Nahhh," he said. He couldn't focus on Batgirl right now, he had spotted the intern, dressed as Poison Ivy. He wondered why she decided to dress as a villain when he knew that she was such a sweet girl... well he thought anyway. "I'm kind of here with that Poison Ivy over there."

Batgirl spotted Poison Ivy, and she knew right away... that was her! That was the girl her Ex cheated on her with. She then saw her ex retrieving punch for them both... he was dressed as The Joker. As were most other guys at the party.

"You're with her," Batgirl asked, confused.

"Well, I guess I'm not really with her. She's an intern at my office. I think she likes me," he said "She spilled coffee on me one time."

"Well I hate to break it to you buddy, but she's here with that Joker over there. He's my ex... He cheated on me with her."

"Really! Holy Betrayal Batgirl," Robin exclaimed. "She seemed so sweet. And just looks so nice."

"Well," Batgirl said "villains have to protect their identity too!"

"I only came here tonight to impress her," Robin said "I feel like I've wasted the night."

"I just came here to upstage her. That's even worse," Batgirl said, " I really don't even care about what my ex or her think of me."

They exchanged glances for a moment. Robin looked behind her Batgirl mask deep into her eyes. They were the most beautiful green eyes he'd ever seen. She started blushing because no one had ever looked at her that way before.

"I'm Dave," Robin said.

"I'm Laurie," Batgirl said "How about we ditch this place and go fight crime or something."

"Or we could ditch the costumes and get dinner instead," Dave said.

And so they ditched their costumes and started a wonderful life together.

THE END! 

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
