My Life As I'm Living It

Novel By: Amity Willows
Other


I realized that most biographies look back into the past and discuss things that have already happened. So I decided to write an auto biography that I will write as my story is unfolding. It is made especially for booksie and it will be strange, unusual and hopefully be amusing. Please enjoy!! View table of contents...

Author\'s note: I have written this first chapter in the booksie editor and I have now spell checked and re-edited it. It was written late at night when I had NO idea what I was doing, so please forgive me it\'s idiocy. If I were to publish my auotobiography it would start with the second chapter. But I\'m NOT going to publish this. it is strictly for booksie, and those fellow booksians who might wish for a glimps into my life, and into my mind. Please enjoy!! Also, if random dashes pop up I don't know why. They just do. :(

 

 

Introduction:

I realized that most biographies look back into the past and discuss things that have already happened. So I decided to write an auto biography that I will write as my story is unfolding. It is made especially for booksie and it will be strange, unusual and hopefully be amusing. Please enjoy!!

 

Part one


Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately, it kills all of its students. - Robin Williams.

My name is Amity Willows and I was born in 1994, which means I\\\'m thirteen years old. It took me thirteen years to figure that out.
I live in a nice apartment with my mom and my dad. I could have said \\\'my parents\\\' instead of \\\'my mom and my dad\\\' and saved myself time.
I think time is strange. You can only go forward. Unless you\\\'re a character in a sci fi novel, that is. And you can\\\'t really look back, like with a crystal ball. At least I can\\\'t. Maybe I\\\'m just a faulty unit, a broken seer, like a broken dryer.
My dryer is broken. Well, my parents’ dryer is broken. It worked fine until it was moved from our old house to my grandparents house and then to our new house. I blame the movers. What? I have to blame someone and they are the most likely suspects.
My room is draped in drying clothes. I have a pair of jeans that has been drying for years and if you took that seriously then someone should write GULLIBLE on your forehead.
The font size keeps trying to get smaller. It does this all of the time. Notice how I\\\'m keeping the theme of time? I think I\\\'m witty. Maybe I\\\'m not. Most likely I am.
My dad is on the phone talking to my grandparents. It\\\'s almost Christmas. I think I know what I\\\'m getting. It might be a brand new digital camera!! But it might not.
My paragraphs are short. I should make them longer, but a paragraph is a cluster of sentences all focusing on the same topic. My brain jumps to so many different things so quickly that there are simply not enough sentences focusing around the same idea to make a paragraph. My brain, lets talk about that.

Part two.


I tried to think but nothing happened. - Anonymous.

My brain is a nothing more then a cluster of random particles, randomly creating randomness. Did you understand that? Me neither. And yet I wrote it! That is the strangeness of my brain, the unique language in which it thinks, the odd things it does for no reason in particular.
I feel philosophical. Don\\\'t ask me how that happened. I\\\'m using google.com as a spell-check. I\\\'ll type a word into the search box, and if I spell it wrong it will say:

Did you mean: ?

This can be translated to:

Dummass!! You’re spelling it wrong!!

Which is exactly what I would say.
My dad is talking about garbage. Literally, garbage. Trash, waste, icky stuff not needed. Conversations can and will take interesting turns in my family.
I just made another paragraph. The one above this was short. I already talked about this, so I\\\'ll move on.
Grapefruit! It popped into my mind so I googled it. I came up with 1, 100, 000 results. Wow. I looked up the definition of the word.

Grapefruit:
-noun

1) A large, roundish, yellow-skinned, edible citrus fruit having a juicy, acid pulp.
2) The tropical or semitropical tree, Citrus paradisi, yielding this fruit.

Now isn\\\'t that interesting? My dad is tired and my mom is cold. Not to mention I have to go. That almost rhymed!! Bye!! I shall write more soon. Fare thee well.

Lol! Sorry about your dryer. And really you can never go back in time. Even if you were in a sci fi book and you go back in time you still go forward. Does that mack any sense? Not Really. Oh well.

Thank you for reading! And no. Didn't understand it a bit, lol.
:D

I'm enjoying reading you. It's good to have younger folks in here writing. So, you're working on the autobiography, eh? You should try typing your stuff in Word or Microsoft and use your spell check. You have lots of simple typos.
Sorry about the dryer. I used to be without a dryer, and I had two small kids. Jeans do take forever to dry, don't they? Very aggravating.
I don't find time so strange. Yes, you can forward and never go back. But, why would you want to jump ahead or go backward in time? Lemme put it to you this way: If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, your p*ssing on today.
Keep up the writing!

Thank you!! And I've taken your advice and am now writing the entire thing in Word. The biography is still especially for booksie, but now it's actually intelligible. And lol!! I must agree with your, er statement on time. :D

Wonderful little glimpse into your thoughts and I look forward to more.

I like the technique you're using here, of taking the reader where your mind goes.

Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you like the style I'm using. I'm not very experienced with writing non-fiction, and I was worried no one would like this.

Haha as I was reading this, I saw a mirror image of myself. Every day (or at least, most days), I do the same thing: write 3 pages full of stream-of-consciousness..whatever pops into my head whenever. So I really liked this...can't wait to read more!

By the way, you'd probably like the book The Artists Way, by Julia Cameron.

Keep up the autobiography!
-Liv

In the wonderful world of Oz(Australia) We dont need dryers!! I know, knock me downs and scorn my face, but its true. The sun here is too often underestimated by tourists that they literally turn purple!!! Thats not a random sarcastic comment from Lionheart, thats real!! So dryers are an endangered species... unless your rich and you cant be bothered hanging out clothes in the sun...
In like this idea.. it was tempting me to do the same... but its your idea... so i wont, and also i have Lionheart Says to disturb and corrupt your minds with hehehe.
You seem like a google dependant hehahahaha, so i'll give you something to search: Google...no im not kidding.
You live in an apartment? I live in a house... and in Australia we dont have as much double storey houses, unless your rich and have money to do all of that cleaning. I live on ground level, in a middle class home...or lower-middle class... im not sure. As surprising as it is for most people this country is a first world country. Recently our currency passed america!! Freaky!!! But... it wasnt a good thing. In fact we are in serious economic trouble with interest rates rising WAY too much... if that means anything to you yet.
Nice form of entertainment. I'll try to keep up :)

OMG you don't need dryers???? WOW. And I...guess...you could do somethings SIMILAR to my idea. :D
Yes, you are most certainly corrupting my minds, and I have yet to google google. I should do that.

There! I did it. I googled google, and I got 176,000,000 results. Woah. Thanks for the suggestion. :-D

Yuppers, an apartment. I am also middle class. :D
I have NO idea what you mean about currency passing America.
AND OF COURSE IT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME. I MAY BE ONLY THIRTEEN BUT I'M PRETTY SMART YOU KNOW!

Now......how do I spell my name?

Never mind, it's not important. I'll look it up later. And thanks! I'm glad you like it. If you like this you should read Brain Oddities. It's a short story I wrote. :D :D :D

P.S I got it!! A M I T Y
Yay!!!
