Prompt: Who are you?
Who am I? That is a good question.
On the outside, I am a blonde hair and blue eyed American woman. I am a mother of a three year old girl. I am married to a man that feels the world turns around him. I am a hard worker, working as a contractor for the government. I am a part time student at Macon State College.
On the inside, I am a crazy mess. My mind goes ninety miles per hour.
I am learning to juggle the craziness in my head though. I have to prioritize the fine things in life. Trying to is hard though. I work in a very hectic environment that runs me down on a daily basis. I go to school at nights and then come home to a household of "what's for supper" and "I need this done."
Growing up in a very disorganized house has taught me not to live this way though. I have to make list to keep my organized and walking the straight path. By the way, it is working too (most of the time).
I am told that I am a good mother. My daughter is the sun in my life. I sometimes feel guilty that I can not play with her like I want to because of trying to go school and keep my husband happy at the same time. But I try everything in my power to spend as much time as possible with her. I know that she has all the needs of life, but she needs me too. So I am looking forward to this three week break, then I can play with her without the stress of school and work.
I am a friendly person. I make sure that everyone is happy to the best of my ability. I always, well most of the time, walk around saying going around these days.
I am also a fighter. I have learned to fight for what oyu believe in even if other do not believe. That is the only way that you can make a difference in the world!
I feel that I am still a lost soul in the universe. I will find my way, but it will take some time. I have to push and pull to get there. But I will someday. Hopefully it is not to far off.
I guess it all boils down to, I am an American woman trying to make something of myself. I finished high school, went straight to college but had to drop out because I had to work full time in order to pay my bills. Then I went to the tech school with the understanding that I could get my Associates degree and transfer to Macon State. Then, when the time came to transfer, I was informed that my credits would not transfer. So I am starting all over. It has taught me a good lesson in life...I should have even tried to take a "short-cut" in life. If I want something, I have to work hard to get! That is a fact!! Then one really learns to appreciate it more.

Twisted Love - The Alligator River Story
Prompt: The Alligator River Story
1) Abigail - I rate Abigail as a 1 on the respect scale. At the beginning of the story, I actually had respect for her. I thought that it was great that she wanted to be Gregory so bad, but promptly refused the deal that Sinbad offered. But when Abigail accepted Sinbad's offer of sexual intercourse, I completely lost all respect for her! I feel that she should have sacrificed her time and drove the 50 miles if she wanted to see Gregory that bad. Then when the plot thickened and you end the story with Abigail laughing at Gregory, that made the disrespect even stronger.
2)Gregory - I rate Gregory as a 4 on the respect scale. He no choice but to cast Abigail aside. I would have done the same thing if my husband cheated on me.
3) Sinbad - I rate Sinbad as a 2 on the respect scale. He knew that Abigail was wanting to see her love, but he used that to his advantage. I feel that Sinbad is a very conniving individual. I feel that he is the type to use ones needs to his advantage. He should have offered Abigail a ride for free or with a fee of money.
4) Ivan- I rate Ivan as a 5 on the respect scale. I feel that Ivan did the right time, he stayed out of it. That was the best thing to do.
5) Slug - I rate Slug as a 3 on the respect scale. I understand he had compassion for Abigail but he should not have went and beat up Gregory for disowning Abigail. She had what was coming for her and Slug should not got involved.
I feel that this story is an example of a very twisted love triangle.

Basic Human Metaphysical Assumptions
Prompt: Metaphysical Assumptions
I feel that everyone has metaphysical assumptions, although a lot of them are passed down from our parents, these assumptions are how humans form their morals and values in life. Every human has to have something to they feel strongly about. I feel that the biggest metaphysical assumption deals with religion and what humans believe in.
The Greeks formed Gods for different metaphysical assumptions in their attempt to put "real nauture" to natural things such as love, beauty, and emotions. Humans now put all of these beliefs, morals, and values into one God. We, as humans, believe and/or worship "a being." We may called this "being" different names but this is where we get our values from.
I personally believe in God. He is who gives me the faith and beliefs that I live by. I also believe that we are human though. We all are tested by our beliefs and values on a daily bases. God put humans on this earth to fulfill a prosporous life and walk in his beliefs. I believe that God knows we are going to be tested in the world today, and all that he asks is to remember the values that is put forth in us during creation. And make desicions based on those values. Most believers would feel that same way.
Whether, a human believes in God or another type of "being." It boils down to having values to live by. Every human has to have something to live for and something to provide them with beliefs. The belief could be as basic as wanting to be a great parent or getting a good education, or could be as detailed as believing in God or a "being."
