On stories

So two things. One, I changed the layout, because I was feeling empowered. Yes, I can!

Two, I sort of want to tell a story. So I'm going to, even though my hands are STILL really cold and not working (I went for a run because I was really pissed off, and then some lady on a bike yelled at me to hurry up and cross the crosswalk or she'd hit me, and I really wanted to tackle her but she was attached to a small child. So I didn't).

It's the story of the lemmings, the turtle, and the partridge. Or maybe it's not. Maybe it's the story of me being supremely pissed off and not entirely sure how to deal with it. Maybe it's the story I'm supposed to write for English but don't want to (because I think Chekhov is, quite honestly, not worth imitating).

But it's a story.

....And apparently that little paragraph was it. My brain is suddenly empty of all stories save for the first story I ever really told on my own, which involved a port-a-potty named Honeybucket and his quest. Really. I sent a port-a-potty on a quest. He (of COURSE it was a he) met a bunch of other inanimate objects on his way to the junk yard, and the last one was, and I kid you not, the Big Car-Crusher-Thingy-That-Crushes-Cars-Because-That's-What-It's-Supposed-To-Do.

Seriously.

That's what I called the story's villain. This story was apparently hilariously funny to small children, and it involved chirping, "My name's Honeybucket!" pretty much every few seconds. I don't really remember how it goes, but I feel like Honeybucket was eventually able to convince the Car-Crusher-Thingy not to crush him (even though that's what it's supposed to do), and live a free and happy life in the wild. Or something. Maybe he was just happy to go on fulfilling his purpose of holding people's bodily waste.

It's probably the best story I've ever come up with. I sort of wish I could remember it all, write it down, and turn it in.

Sadly, I can't remember it, so I have to write another story, which I should probably get started on. But I hope you were touched by Honeybucket.
