Oh, yeah. Some of the words they threw at us were real doozers: ennui (won with that one), unfathomable, chauvinistic, phantasmagorical...okay, they didn't give us that one but I was bracing myself for it. And all three years I competed these things would turn into a verbal ping-pong match between me and the other remaining contestant at the end. It was really crazy.

Crazy. Adjective. Mentally unbalanced. Could I have it in a sentence? Everyone on this forum is crazy. C-R-A-Z-Y...okay, never mind.

Yeah... And they always drilled us for it by letting us go up to the library and watch that Peanuts movie, don't know the title... Blatherskites is one that sticks in my head, only cause I already knew it from watching Ducktales...
And then there was the one word they gave us for the possibility of a tie-breaker, they said it would be done by how fast you could correctly spell it, never happened though... That ubber-long word from the Disney movie I utterly loathe, that Julie Andrews wash your mouth out with ice cream if I catch you saying it...
And of course, I'm always able to do it in my speed-spelling voice cause I practiced it that way...

But enough muffining. Bo, we know you're out there, we can sense you being online. Please post more!

supercalifragilisticexpialdoicous! I know it's mispelled too. XD Just figured I'd pester everyone with that word, along with muffins!

*Sets a basket of muffins out. Along with Scooter dolls for everyone to enjoy*

*Ugh... Yeah, that's the one Sara. You should hear me speed-spell it sometime, just like how I also do the alphabet.
Hmmm, muffins... Think I'll take a banana nut one over where my roomies are... Seems there's a new story by this girl I happen to know.

That Other Journal, when, where?

Mr R climbed into the backseat of the taxi beside me, his brown coat smelling of soap and rain. He wore dark glasses, as he always did. Not to shade the sun, but to hide his eyes. I only saw them once. Mr R is my boss, and my client, and my friend.

"You were watching the cafe," he stated as he seated himself, then he lent forward, tapped the driver, and said get moving.

"I was," I confessed. "I thought, but I didn't."

"I see." And he left it at that, and began twirling his whispy moustache faster and faster around his littlest finger.

He wanted to know when I would choose my next client, whever it would be free or pay. "Pay," I assured him. But I wondered if lied to myself.

Mr R had financed my last client, a woman who needed to break free from a childhood of despression. I'd seen her in a telephone box, struggling with the coin slot as the change fell out again and again and again. She's started shouting, and beating the receiver against the receptical. It's dramatic moments like those that attract me. I ran to her, grabbing her shoulders. "Stop, stop, stop!" And she'd became my next client. Until her frustration was realeased, and she moved on.

Mr R cleared his throat, and stated that if I already had my sights on a client I should say so. But I shook my head and smiled. "Only you are good enough to know that," I said. And laughed. He wasn't sure what I meant, and neither was I to be honest.

After that, Mr R took me to dinner.

Love,
Me.

Mmm...blueberries...oh, yeah, it's got the right amounts of cinnamon and vanilla in it, and a smidge of lemon zest, and it's not too crumbly and not too moist.

I wonder who the mysterious author of the other journal is?
