I know it's been a seriously long time, but here are my updates. I got a promotion at Target and now am working as the HR clerical, which means I do schedules, punch corrections, and ordering supplies. It pays .50 more an hour, which is not much, but a raise nonetheless. I also am employee of the month. I know exciting! :) I got a free CD out of it (Juno Soundtrack), which was good, and I'm glad that the team recognizes the work that I do.
I also was cleaning and I came across something that I wrote my junior year of high school. It was in 2001, so like 6 1/2 years ago. I think it's good. It was for my Women's Voices in Literature class.
Daddy's Girl
Character: Sandra Marcus
(A sunny Saturday morning, around 9:00. She is in pajamas, a robe, and slippers. She is 38 years old. She sits in a small kitchen, drinking coffee. She's looking into her coffee as she talks.)
Well
um
I was born
on
the eighteenth of February
1962.
It was a rainy day
in fact,
it was pouring, when my mother went into labor.
They had some time getting to the hospital.
anyway
My dad was convinced I was a boy,
but uh-oh
Surprise!!!
I was a girl.
I think
in a way
I was a blessing.
My mom grew up with two brothers
and my dad was an only child
so that's how I became
Daddy's little girl.
He loved me
he really loved me.
I was a tomboy
you know
the uh
baseball
wait I mean softball.
I really loved softball
It was great being at bat
and being able to whack
well
excuse me
there's really no other way to say it.
I uh
I whacked the shit out of it.
It felt so good!
I think that's the reason
I was never that close
to my mom.
Softball was my out.
If someone made fun of me at school
I whacked the ball.
I never told my mom,
I hit the ball instead.
It was so satisfying
but
there were certain things that softball couldn't fix
then I told my dad.
I think my mom
resented that
that
special relationship
that I had with my dad.
She just didn't understand
I was Daddy's girl.
He loved me
and I loved him.
END
Let me know what you think. I thought it was pretty darn good for a junior in high school. I don't remember what the assignment was, but I had to write that for some reason.
The book this time is: My Point...and I Do Have One (Ellen Degeneres) It's random and funny.
