hells_half_acreSince I'm not that great at updating with interesting, well written thoughts or stories, how about I update with a silly not-so-well written story?
I was cleaning out my desk drawers last week and I came across a story I wrote when I was young. I'd guess that I was nine years old, seeing as how I didn't know how to read until then.
Reading it now, I can actually see that I haven't changed much over the years and, really, my adult behaviour should come as no surprise once anyone reads the story.
I guess the moral of the story is that you should enjoy life and not let anyone tell you differently. Some other lessons learned are: try to be polite, but if that doesn't work, then it's alright to use brute force; don't kill people; if you accidentally destroy something, help rebuild it; and, if there is no fruit available, horses are a viable source of nutrients.

The Curious Dragon
Once there was a dragon and his name was Tom. Now Tom was very curious and he wanted to go and have fun out in the world, but he had to stay in his cave with his mummy. But one day he snuck out and ran away. After a while he sat down to have a nap, but suddenly he heard a bunch of little voices and he looked and saw that he was sitting on a little city and all the people were telling him to get off. So he got up and he said sorry and he helped them build it again, then he walked away. After a while his feet started to hurt and he looked down and saw little people stabbing his feet so he said "can you please stop that," but they didn't. So he kicked them in a lake and went away. After a while he got hungry so he looked down to see if there were fruit on the trees but there wasn't and then he saw a whole bunch of horses with little people on them. So he picked the horses up and took the people off and ate the horses. The people were so scared that they ran away, then Tom started to want to go home, so he caught one of the people and asked him and the person told Tom. So Tom went home and when he got home his mummy was mad at him, but he went up to his bedroom, because he didn't want to hear his mummy yell at him because he had fun.
