Dianne in Wordzzle Land

In an attempt to not fall through the black hole of stress I decided to write some silly stuff this week. It felt great doing it and once again I must thank the effervescent RAVEN for bringing Wordzzle into my tired mind.

I’ve been grateful for photo projects this week since I’ve alternated between crying, shouting (usually at myself) and wishing desperately to run away or climb a clock tower – with a water pistol. Even in my worst moments I am a peaceful person.

And then, as usual, I got the hell over myself because I was annoying the crap out of myself. I even lost my sense of humor more than a few times this week.

But to paraphrase Billy Martin – “Never take shit from asshats.”

On to Wordzzle …

Ten Word Challenge: prenomial, inexplicable, tangerine, masks, chocolate cake, panorama, librarian, Stonehenge, meek, florid

Panorama Pendergrass was experiencing an inexplicable desire for adventure. She had been head librarian at Stonehenge Scholastical Manor for close to thirty years; in fact they had just celebrated her anniversary with fizzy water and chocolate cake. Panny was a meek soul. Her idea of going wild was to try a new florid handwriting style. Sometimes when feeling really frisky she’d think up prenomial titles for the entire Salamander family, she was quite fond of them, especially the sisters. This morning however was very different. She had felt it the moment she sprayed on the spicy tangerine body splash. Now, as she wandered aimlessly through the ‘Masks of Darkness’ exhibit, she knew she had to take a bold step. She stopped in front of the Darth Vader display and whipped out her cell phone. “I need a one way ticket to Las Vegas” she told the travel agent. “I want to leave today, there’s someone there I must find.”

And for the Mini Challenge: vituperative, bunny rabbit, house warming, sanitation, triangular

The sanitation truck tried to stop before it jumped the fence and landed on the small triangular patch of grass. The sound of huge tires screeching interrupted the house warming party the bunny rabbits were having at the third hole from the curb. Boxer, the head of the rabbit clan, was about to begin some vituperative railing about crazy humans and their machines when the huge oak tree jumped out of nowhere and blocked the trucks progress.

And the Mega …

The Most Majestic Sarah Sasquatch Stonehenge was the last to arrive at the house warming. “She’s always making a ridiculous entrance” Barbara Billingsley Bunny Rabbit said to her meek and quiet friend Tallulah Tootsie Triangular. “And she insists on being announced by her full name, including that absurd prenomial title she bestowed upon herself. It is inexplicable to me that I am the only one to see through her florid ways.” “Well dear Barbara we all wear our masks now, don’t we?” Tallulah mumbled through a mouthful of chocolate cake. Although Tallulah liked Barbara she hated her vituperative rants which were always worse at large gatherings. Tallulah wanted to enjoy the party. The food was delicious and the house was stunning. She always found herself in the position of keeping the peace. “Social Sanitation” Tallulah chuckled. “Are you babbling to yourself?” Barbara snapped. “I bet you weren’t listening to me at all. I was just asking you how in the world Luscious Lycra Lizzy could possibly afford a house like this on a librarian’s salary.” Tallulah plucked some fruit from the crystal fruit bowl and grabbed Barbara’s arm. “Come, it’s almost sunset, let’s enjoy the panorama before us. If you behave I’ll peel a tangerine for you. And if you don’t I’ll gag you with it”

I hope you all have a lovely (and silly) weekend!
