i'm socially awkward.

I pretend to talk on my phone instead of talking to real people.
When I call a pizza delivery place, I start off with "Hi, I want a pizza."
Whenever I trip, I look around to see if anyone saw me.
I'm always the person who sneezes in group pictures.
When people around me are ripping on classical music, I get offended.
I have more stuffed animals than friends.
The song I can relate to most is "Loser Like Me" by Glee.
The "For Dummies" books are too complex for me.
I collect rubber ducks.
During school dances, I'm that kid playing games on their phone.
Last year, I was a chicken for Halloween. My friend was a cow.
I sing in the shower.
I haven't worn matching socks in years.
My most impressive feature is my grade in math.

Jealous?
Thought so.

creative writing and my childhood.

Did you guys ever do a writing assignment when you were younger (Like first or second grade) and you had to extend a certain phrase into a story?
So basically, the phrase could be something like "The chicken..."
And then you'd extend it to a story involving chickens.

I was always really good at that.
Whenever we got this assignment, I would go way over-the-top and craft a novel that normally involved humans being eaten, flying things, and a Revolutionary War.
My teacher would never know how to respond to these.

Quite frankly, I think she was a little disturbed.
