Sometimes, I would like to be that person that finds a plastic bag floating in the air in front of a brick wall so beautiful that it takes my breath away. I can't help but think that the person who finds beauty in that scenario must be enlightened.

( I will never be that person. )

Hi folks! therealljidol is a writing competition that I played in last year. Most of you will be familiar with this, but if you're not, then here's the deal. Every week they give us a topic. We write an entry and link it to the community. Then, people vote on which entries they enjoyed the most. (Note, it's a very subject type of vote.)

The contestants with the fewest votes are eliminated.

My entry on Empty Gestures was about superstitions and can be found here>

Lastly, I'm still working my way through my entries, but I plan to list a few of my favorites once I finish reading. It will be before voting ends, and I encourage everyone to read through the entries. Some of them are really amazing.

Supposedly, everyone should have an elevator speech ready in a moment's notice. Thirty seconds isn't much time to persuade someone that we are an ideal candidate for a job, or a date, or a bizarre opportunity, but "smart" people have one on hand.

( I have no elevator speech. )

When I was a child, I knew a secret. Once I went to bed, if I pulled my blankets in tightly around me, if I slipped the second pillow over my eyes, if the only part of me left exposed to the darkness was my nose, then I was safe from everything.

( You don't understand. I coulda had class. )

I die on a Thursday in roughly 30 years. The exact date isn't important. The exact moment is. There is a rattled breath, a feeling of being hugged too tightly, and then the sound of breaking glass. I see my life for the first time in the second after I die.

It was nothing like I thought.
