Destined to be Pointless

Every great blog starts out an average blog. Assignments are meant to be revised upon and that's what I'm doing now--making this assigned blog even better. What makes this blog better is that it started out a disaster since I couldn't find an interesting web conversation. While I was racking my brain thinking, a miracle happened--and that miracle's name was Jill. I was just checking my gmail account when this im popped up from my sister:

Jill: I'm bored

Casually, I write back the first thing to express my situation.

me: i'm stressed. I don't know how to do my homework

After switching back to my inbox to look for some sort of decent conversation, it hits me.

me: Ooh. You could help me out! Wanna help me out? If you just respond, that is all i need

Jill: oh yes
what homework is it?


Jill: so....

about this conversation...

I'm totally having one
with myself

Good she's back. And she's feeding into the assignment nicely.

me: Its really important homework. Hi I'm back now. So have you ever heard of Liam Sullivan?

Jill: I have not.
liam KYLE sullivan?


me: Uh....maybe...go check out his website at Liamsullivan.com.
whoopsie i mean liamshow.com

Jill: should i watch the videos?

me: yea! Check out muffins and tell me what you think. Cuz i'll tell you what
i think. I think i wish I looked like the muffin lady.

This conversation seems viable, right? Just a casual IM conversation going on here, right? Its working...

Jill: I think you could look like her with little to no effort.

me: That's excellent news for me.

Jill: Ok i watched it. It's interesting. I like the way she says "muffins"
I probably would have laughed out loud a little if i wasn't so prone to peeing
my pants now.

I tense up a little. Careful Jill! You're being recorded...

me: Oh yeah i forgot. You have a baby growing inside you. Well another one that's
not as funny is "Love Letters." its entertaining, yet won't cause the peeing.


Jill: im watching text message break up right now
is this guy part of your homework?

Although Liam Sullivan could have easily made for an interesting blog topic, and "Muffins" is one of the funniest video shorts I've seen so far, I decide to reveal the cameras--so to speak.

me: No my friend, you are. And that's a wrap. Thanks for your help, sister that's
all i needed from you.


Jill: ah man!

me: Starwipe....and we're out


And to think--after trying so hard to go out of my way and find a worthy subject for this homework assignment, all i needed to do was sit and wait. Destiny wanted for it to fall into my lap.
