Writing Territories

Fears: spiders, butterflies, crickets, BUGS.
Annoyances: being interrupted
Accomplishments: moving past failure
Confusions: magic tricks
Sorrows: Sibelius 1
Dreams: music
Idiosyncrasies: dork
Risks: driving
Beloved Possessions: plastic barbie shoes (then) and my instrument (now)
Problems: expectations

They are creepy and crawly and, I swear, they can sense fear. Spiders with their disgustingly thin legs slowly but surely come for me. Butterflies with their hairy faces and fluttery wings land all around me. Worst of all,the crickets know just when to jump. I pray they won't be alarmed or make sudden moves but when the tension reaches a climax, they jump a mile high and land WHO KNOWS WHERE! Bugs, on top of being gross, are evil too. I see them sometimes in my very own house. But they never appear when my fearless mother is around. No. Always when I'm alone, when I least expect it. They think they're clever, lurking in shadows until the coast is clear. It's pure wickedness. My parents sometimes say I overreact, but it's not me! The bugs are cruel!
