"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  Prompt for January 12th, 2013: A day in the life of a blogger.
OK, a day in my life. This entry will probably depress me, because I'll be forced to come to terms with how boring my life really is. I'll choose yesterday.

My day started at 10 a.m. when I got out of bed. I was really psyched because I don't have classes on Fridays this semester, and the day started with me thinking of all of the exciting things I could do with my day. No exciting things happened. To spare everyone the boring details, I'll just give a quick summary of what I did yesterday:

Showered, dressed, went to grocery store, reviewed on WDC while lurking for bots (WDC scrollies will understand this), drafted blog entries for this group and my Circle of Friends group, wrote my second ever poem, read an assignment for a class I have on Monday, talked to some friends via email, text and phone, cooked and spent the evening with my boyfriend watching basketball. Oh, and I washed dishes. I can't believe I almost forgot such an exciting thing!

So, there you have it. I hope nobody who reads this gets overly excited!

"Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  January 12, 2013: If you could live forever, would you? Why or why not?
No, I would not. Please see my "day in the life" entry above, and you will understand that I couldn't tolerate that for more than an average lifetime. OK, on a serious note, I assume my friends, family, loved ones, etc. wouldn't have that same advantage. I wouldn't want to keep living just to watch every person I have ever cared about pass on. How fulfilling would life be without anyone to share it with?

Although I can think of numerous other reasons I wouldn't want to live forever (suffering through numerous disasters, wars, plagues, etc.), the inevitable loss of all my loved ones is the reason that first comes to mind.
