I've been reading an awful lot lately, and my love for Literature has been re-kindled.
It is finally the Fall Season, and all I want to do is sip hot tea, read stories, and cuddle up in oversized hoodie-jackets and cozy moccasins.
Today, while I was filling up my car with gasoline ($3.59/gallon!), a man walked up to me in a drunken stupor. He and his wife had just gotten into a brawl, and he was left deserted at the gas station. He seemed disoriented in more ways than one. After learning his entire life story, he asked for my telephone number. I looked at his bloodshot eyes, and felt a terrible sense of sympathy for his current status. I politely (yet sternly) declined, and stepped into my car. As I pulled away from the station, I could see his hunched shoulders and clenched fists creating ominous shadows in my rearview mirror. I prayed a short prayer that the Lord would seek mercy upon his lost and torn soul. The streets are not meant for human beings...
I drank a sip of my Pike Place Roast Coffee, and drove to Walgreen's to get my Photographs developed. Everything felt so grey and lukewarm.

Meg I absolutely love your writing style. The randomness of your subjects but in reality they all come together in a cohesive mass of somethingness (yes I know it's not a word) and nothingness at the same time. What exactly am I saying? I don't know but I can read your writing any day of the week and I'm not just bullshitting you.
I do have a suggestion and it's minor in that fix the extra spaces in your content. My browser (Firefox) isn't displaying your posts correctly. Also why can't I choose my own identity and link to my own blog? Minor details.. :)
Thanks so much for the feedback.
I've been working on editing all my posts lately, because for some reason, this Blog changes what I type after I post it. I'm not too computer savvy, but I think the text changes or something after I post. Not too sure. But I've gotten a hang of it's format.
As for the links, apparently there was a glitch this past week with the actual server. Supposedly, it's back to normal, but I'm not too sure. I'm rummaging around the site, trying to figure out how to fix it, but in due time, hopefully everything will be up to par.
