Hey everyone! I found a pretty cool website about the Copyright symbol today. I knew you could make the copyright symbol in a Word document by using ( C ) and it would auto format. However, I found out, on the Copyright Symbol Webpage, that there are other ways to make the symbol. This will be useful for both PC and Mac users who are creating documents in a program other than Word.

“Be calm. Be professional. And above all else, for the love of all that is holy, don’t fart.”
I had been coaching myself all morning in preparation for the interview. Unfortunately when nervous, I get gassy. I was terrified I was going to fart during the interview. It had happened before. I really wanted this internship.
To prepare myself, I had taken some beano, some pepto bismal, and not eaten anything for 24 hours. Hopefully that would work nicely.

The town was buzzing with activity. Everyone was decorating storefronts or the park. The town square in front of City Hall was shining with lights and flowered garlands. I smiled to myself thinking their happy celebration was about to be remembered for an entirely different reason altogether.

With a hum that sounded like a dying seal, the generator died and the room went black.
“Shit!” Marty blurted. “Where are you, Jack?”
A diabolical chuckle came floating from the dark.
“You better figure out soon, Marty, or you’ll never know.”
Marty heard a shuffling sound and a thump. Waiting for his eyes to adjust to the lack of light, Marty squinted into the darkness. Too late he saw a figure advancing on him.
The crescent roll sat in front of me, steaming, the butter melting down the sides and dripping onto the petite plate.
I sat with my hands in my lap, staring at the butter, thinking about adding some jam to the mess when my door buzzer rang. I sat there for a moment more, hoping whoever it was would go away when the buzzer rang again. Two short bursts of noise and then one long buzz.
“Great.” I thought. “It’s Marvin.”

Out of the gloom the shadow stole, flashing from one dark
corner to the next. Staying beneath lit windows, the shape
moved silently and swiftly. A sound came from the alley, a
blast, and the figure crouched down. In the gloom, if I had not
known he was there, I would have passed him by.

OneWord has been having an issue. I have figured out a work around. So, here’s today’s OneWord:
The loss was unbearable. It ripped at my heart and ate at my
soul. How could I go on without her? How could I make myself
get out of bed in the morning knowing my little girl wasn’t
snuggled in her bed down the hallway all warm and sweet
smelling? Knowing I wouldn’t hear her chatter as I made her
breakfast. I couldn’t. I couldn’t do it.
I wanted to flirt with danger. I didn’t care what the consequences were and I didn’t care how the story ended. I was done being careful. I was done worrying about what everyone else thought or didn’t think. I was ready to look death in the face and greet him with open arms and defy him to remove me from this world. Because who would care if he did?

He was a one-trick-pony. And the trick wasn’t even that good. I snickered to myself as I thought about it. Downing my whiskey, I put my hat on and stood up from the stool. I staggered a bit as I began to walk to the bathroom. Woah. I guess I drank more than I thought I had. The floor was really close all of a sudden.
