Untitled 1 [Writing #2]

This is an exercise, so it's not one of my best.

I have an ability that no one else has - at least no one that I have met. It’s not anything special. It’s not like I can join the X-Men or the Justice League. And I don’t really know if I could label it a gift or a curse, because it’s both. Depending on the situation. Now you’re probably wondering what this mysterious ability is. I’m getting there. It’s affected my life a lot. For good and bad. I can predict the future; but it’s not as awesome as it seems. It’s a little too specific for my liking.

I first noticed that I could see the future when I met my best friend, Garrett. We were in sixth grade and he accidentally bumped into me because some asshole kid pushed him. I saw my future with him. Nothing romantic. I just saw us living in New York together. Which was a little odd being that we were both from Connecticut and I had never spoken to him.

These visions are random and only happen when I touch someone I meet for the first time. It must be skin to skin contact. I never noticed it with my parents, because I can’t remember the day I was born. So I don’t remember ever seeing my mom leaving me and my dad for another woman. But it is what it is. I hate this, because it can be a huge spoiler.

I cannot date with an open mind with this ability. I actually don’t really date at all. Because since I can see my future with people when I meet them, I can see what guys are going to be losers and which ones are going to cheat. I haven’t met a guy who seems perfect yet. Maybe he doesn’t exist. So if I meet someone I’m interested in and I see something I don’t like I don’t go for it. But it really sucks, because there are so many hot guys who I don’t have a future with. And the time frame of the future, I see differs. Sometimes it’s ten years. Sometimes it’s when we’re old and miserable.

But remember my best friend Garrett that I mentioned? He uses my ability to his advantage. He’ll introduce me to a boyfriend and if said boyfriend doesn’t fit into our future, then he dumps him. I don’t care. To me, it’s helping him find the one. If soulmates are real and my soulmate exists, I sure as hell haven’t found them yet. Sometimes I wonder if Garrett is my platonic soulmate and maybe I just was never meant to get into a romantic relationship. But who knows? Guess I’ll keep looking.

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War. I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...
