Untitled 1 [Writing #2]

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

Words: 449

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.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

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...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
