I figure I should probably get the public humiliation over quickly and just start.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just thought of this as a kind of funny idea to write about. I have not been working on it, so there will be typos and sloppiness abound. I apologize in advance and ask ye, my fair readers, to have mercy on my humble scribblings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part One.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every morning when I wake up, I go to war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, not really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was stupid. I bet some people take that offensively. I&amp;#8217;m not making fun of the soldiers! Really, I promise! I just&amp;#8230;I just&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So let&amp;#8217;s start over. When I wake up, there is always a battle taking place inside my mind. One part of me (the same part that loves chocolate cookies, coincidentally) says that I should stay in bed. The other part of me says I need to wake up. I&amp;#8221;m not schitzophrnic, though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, damn. I bet people find that offensive too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, I&amp;#8217;m sorry. From now on, if I say anything offensive, just assume I have apologized. Okay? Okay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The battle takes place between the two ends of my body. My feet, warm and snug in the blanket, are fighting a defensive battle (giving them a major advantage) against my mind. It&amp;#8217;s two against one really. My mind has no chance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s kind of like the Revolutionary war. My feet have it all won like the British, but then America calls France in. France is in the form of my mother.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She comes into my room and does the horrific: she turns the lights on. She&amp;#8217;s knows it&amp;#8217;s my weak spot. I&amp;#8217;m like a vampire (and not the wimpy Twilight kind). I can hear her go into my sister&amp;#8217;s room and have to practically pull her out of bed. But, cunning and manipulative as she is, she knows I will not be able to sleep with the light on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whoever thought that light was a good thing, had the wrong idea. Light is supposed to bring truth because you can see things clearly. WRONG. I can&amp;#8217;t see anything. The light from my ceiling fan is burning a hole inside my retinas. In my morning mentality, I think I shall be blind forevermore and wonder if I could sue my mother for that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, my eyes eventually adjust and I swing my no longer toasty feet off the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish my life was like a movie. I&amp;#8217;m an actress, I think about these things a lot. Many times, I have visions of what a part of my life would be like played out in a scene. For example, the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My morning is always a montage in my brain. Nothing really important happens. I envision it showing the various stages of my morning like brushing my teeth and the car ride to school with credits flashing by. The background music depends on what I feel like that particular morning. If I have something to look foward to on that day, I can almost hear the upbeat obscure indie song. On bad days, I can feel Three Days Grace pounding in my eardrums.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But my life isn&amp;#8217;t a movie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My real morning progresses like so: I wake up, almost unfailingly bump into my door on the way to the bathroom, perform a series of boring hygenic tasks, put on the same make-up I do everytday, run downstairs, scarf down my breakfast, hop in the car and hurriedly do homework I should have done the previous life. But the worst part is&amp;#8230;no background music. Seriously, if my life had an album, it would be so much better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But hey, this is real life, not a movie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Damn.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2695108712</link><guid>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2695108712</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 01:32:38 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>= My Life</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="320" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jhTU7_mipB0?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;= My Life&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694825990</link><guid>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694825990</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:57:50 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>There is nothing that I want more than to go to London.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leug3kWhLP1qgnqsfo1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is nothing that I want more than to go to London.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694746420</link><guid>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694746420</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:47:44 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to open it and remove..."</title><description>“It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Mark Twain&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694731120</link><guid>http://marktwainmakesmegiggle.tumblr.com/post/2694731120</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:45:58 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Well, hey there world.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I felt it was neccessary to make this post because there are random posts on my page that I suppose are just automatic. I do not know how to get rid of them. Thus, my plan is to take over my own blog via a secret coup. The prewritten posts will never see it coming.&lt;/p&gt;
