Assignment #44: Part VI

Write Your Life Story As If It Took Place In One Day

I was born at about 1 P.M. which i guess could be considered a late start for a day, but i guess that's typical. I took 3758 showers and 1400 baths in between 1:15 P.M. and 2:00 P.M. It seems like a lot, but between 1 P.M. and 1:15 P.M. i was building forts and climbing trees and i learned how to ride a bike and i scrapped my knees 15 times so i was about due for some washing up. It was perfect timing too, because at 2:10 P.M. i had to book it to my elementary school graduation. Between the hours of 3:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. i drank 15 gallons of orange juice and ate about seven boxes of Morning Star Farm chicken nuggets, 200 salads, 13 dozens of cookies, and about 25 pounds of apples. By then i was wiped out so i took an hour nap which brings me to 5:00 P.M. At this point i went to New Orleans and Florida a couple times and won a couple national titles for competitive cheerleading. When i got home i realized that my parents had moved from Alpine to Encinitas and this was about half-past 6:00 P.M. and i was a little sad that i didn't get to say goodbye to my friends but i knew i had about 15 essays to finish for my AP Lit class and not even to mention all the books i had to read for my college classes and either way, my parents made it up to me by taking me to Hawaii (twice!) and Yosemite, all between 6:00 P.M. and 7:15 P.M. Between 7:20 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. i dated and broke up with about 12 boys and decided that i was done with relationships, at least until the next day. I don't really remember the time from 8:00 P.M. till 8:45 P.M. I drank 700 beers and had 47 shots and i was totally wasted. Needless to say, i spent the next two minutes being so hungover. At about 8:47 P.M. i played guitar, sewed 5 dresses and 30 skirts, wrote about 100 letters to close friends and was finished with all that at 9:00 P.M. From that time until 10:00 P.M., i walked 1440 miles around my neighborhood and met 340 strangers. I accidentally made one fall off of a bike. I spent 4 minutes being self-conscious and i spent 10 more being totally stoked and i guess the next 2 minutes were kind of ambiguous but by then it was 10:16 P.M. and i figured i should do something else. So i went to 65 parties and saw a couple meteor showers and at about 11:00 i ate 15 pounds of candy. Between 11:05 and 11:30, i saw 23 Japandi shows. At that point, goddamn i was tired but i knew it wasn't quite time to go to sleep. I went night swimming at 11:30 and i sneaked onto a couple roofs and i graduated from high school. By 12:00 A.M. i finished my freshman year of college. I gave one person a sponge bath and i read 40 books and i went on 25 hikes. From 12:05 A.M. until 12:30 A.M. i got lost and wandered around for a while. When i found my way back, i packed up my stuff and moved to Oregon. The drive took a while. I wasn't even fully settled in until 1:00 A.M. Either way, from 1:00 A.M. until 1:23 A.M. i baked 60 batches of cupcakes. After that i had 19 serious, serious conversations but i was done with that by 1:30 A.M. From 1:30 A.M. until 1:43 A.M. i searched around for a skateboarding boyfriend but when i couldn't find one i just went to Fred Meyer for about 50 minutes. When i got home, Kelly had moved to Costa Rica and Lana had taken her spot and we had 15 visitors staying in our living room. It was all a lot to take in, so i went outside and took 24 roles of film. I spent the next 2 minutes at The Bins and i think it snowed and i decided that it was time to go to sleep.
