What an eventful day.

midnightdiddleSee, my days usually aren't very full. Since I'm off from school for a few months, I don't have classes, and I don't have a job, because no one wants to hire someone who's going to be gone again in two months.
Well, at any rate, I did things today. Yay! Daddy's teaching me to drive stick. Earlier today, it went alright. Then, Daddy, Ben, and Melanie went golfing, and I went with them. Or rather, the boys golfed, and Melanie and I were caddies/drove the golf carts. That was so fun! It was like four-wheeling, over grass!
And during this eventful time, I fell out of the golf cart, stubbed my whole right foot, hit myself in the face with a golf club, and got slivers. I think it's a sign... But I want to go again, to drive the golf carts!
Then we went to Nanny's house, in the little red car, with me driving shift. It was alright, until we were on our way home. Then, I killed the car next to 1900 (a big ol' intersection) and I couldn't get it to go...and someone honked at me. By the time I was out of the intersection, I was in tears. I felt so stupid and pathetic and small. So I don't really want to drive stick anymore.
Stupid jerk. Wasn't entirely my fault...
At any rate, because I'm sure people are interesting in me crying as I kill the car, I present a drabble I wrote yesterday.
It's a ShikaTema thing, with not so subtle hints of ShikaIno.
Do You Love Her More?
"Do you love her more?"
"What?" Shikamaru asked, confused, and Temari looked away, almost ashamed.
"Do you love her more?"
"Why," Shikamaru began slowly, as though speaking to a child, "would I love her more?"
"Because she had a baby," Temari snapped, suddenly angry, and he sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"So? The baby cries all the time, and it's tiring."
"But you wanted it." She was bristling like an alley-cat, clenched hands and bared teeth. She was beautiful when she was angry, he decided, so sharp and wicked, such a difference from delicate, soft Ino. "You were so happy when she had the brat."
He reached out and touched her lips, and she fell silent. "Don't be bothersome," he said tiredly. "I'm not going to love her more, so just be quiet."
She stared at him for a long moment, then swallowed a scream, punching the wall. "Go home," she forced out, pressing her forehead against the much-abused wall. Shikamaru looked at her and she avoided his eyes. "The negotiations are over, you don't need to be here anymore. Go home to your wife and your son."
He stopped next to her on his way to the door, leaning over to kiss her cheek quickly. She didn't move, a stone of sand, and he opened the door with a put-upon sigh.
"I love you, Temari," he said as he closed the door behind him, and she scrambled across the room to grab a vase and hurl it at the door, wishing it was shattering against him, rather than the door.
"Stupid bastard," she whispered, and for the first time in a long time, she felt like crying.

Date: 2005-06-26 06:08 am (UTC)Yes to the married question, and yes to the affair question.
And I can justify Ino being "delicate, soft." It's a comparison between Temari and Ino. When you compare the two, the difference is just...wow. Ino may be strong, which she is, and strong-willed (no doubt ^^;), but Temari's brutal and just...yeah. Temari has no qualms about killing, and Ino's never been put in that position. At least, not yet. And that's enough of me justifying myself. I'm such a dork. ^_^
My car actually didn't break down, I just stalled it. And I won't stop driving, (can't afford that *sigh*) but I did want to stop learning stick. But I'm continuing onwards! I'm pressing forwards! With tear-stained cheeks... *droop*
