I fell asleep between 7 and 8 last night while waiting for my father to come check on my computer, which had mysteriously shut itself down, so needless to say, nothing got posted. :) Here are the prompts from yesterday. I'll post the rest later (after I've done them!).
33. Expectations: She always enjoyed the shocked looks when she told people she could speak Irish; no, red hair was not a prerequisite.
38. Abandoned: Every summer the cousins spent their days planning pranks and exploring the words, searching the abandoned sheds for new treasures or animals.
39. Dreams: Ruthie Henshall made the best Fantine, in Sam’s opinion, seconded by Lea Salonga.
65. Horror: As her fellow first grader leaned toward her, his eyes closed and mouth puckered, Samantha’s reaction was horrified and instinctual, hit him with her mud filled hand!
66. Traps: One of her favorite pranks included saran wrap across a doorway and a very convincing, blood curdling scream.
69. Annoyance: Once, while Sam was bowling with her cousin, she left one pin, every frame!
75. Mirror: For a week, at every reflective surface she stopped and touched her newly short, chestnut hair.
82. Can You Hear Me?: Barbra Streisand’s voice crooned out her speakers and Sam dissolved into tears; maybe listening to the Yentl soundtrack on her first night alone wasn’t the wisest course.
83. Heal: The spring she broke her ankle was the most frustrating of her life as she watched her softball team play with out her.
85. Spiral: She can still remember the day she threw her first perfect pass with crystal clarity, from the sun dappling her face to the damp grass beneath her feet, from the roar of the air show jets going over her head to the bark of the neighbor’s startled dog.
86. Seeing Red: If Agent Ido asked her to ‘make a sammich’ one more time she was not going to be responsible for her actions.
88. Pain: She didn’t even feel the bullet graze her arm or the glass pepper her hands until she was finally sitting still in the ER.
89. Through the Fire: The colors of the campfire fascinated Sam so she and her cousins would throw different objects into the flames to see what color it would burn.
100. Relaxation: With each gear shift Sam shed a little more tension and by the time she hit 90 all her troubles, for the moment, were forgotten.
* Sam is comparing actresses in 39 because of the song 'I Dreamed a Dream' from Les Mis which they both sing (Ruthie's version, Lea's version). So many of these prompts made me think of songs first, Sam second!
*69 is a true story. I went bowling with my sister and a friend once and every frame I left one pin standing. Different pins at different times but I never broke 9 a frame! It was so annoying, even if I was laughing by the end.
*82 references 'Papa Can You Hear Me?' from Yentl.
* 83 & 85 Found out she played sports. Huh. Cool.
*89 FIRE! Mwahahaha! I'm a pyro. So is Sam ... to a degree.
