Vital Vocab 19

You guys you guys!  I hit 1,000 pageviews!  I mean, they're probably mostly mine, and my friends' blogs hit that mark ages ago, but I did it!  I did it!  :D


Thank you to everyone who visits my blog.  Yes, even you, vampirestat.  Thank you for helping me to reach this milestone with your robot-y, blogspot-loving vampirism.

So anyways.  It's storytime!
I really don't know what to do with this kid, and I am so sorry.  I need to prewrite some stuff, because I do have ideas, but it's so much easier to just fudge a short post every week.  Argh.

Prompt: -- ((why do I still put this up, anyways?))
Vocab: nebulous, nondescript, nuance, negligent, nurture
Commonly Confused Words: than/then
Grammar Focus: use parallel structure to format a list of adjectives

Isaac Bade-
     I was about to leave again when I looked out one of the library's windows to see that giant, grey, nebulous clouds ((is that cheating?)) had drifted over the city and were quickly beginning to drip, drizzle, then pour, claiming it as theirs.  I sighed.  Why did it have to rain so much more now than it did the rest of the year?  The girls left through the library's front doors, and then I could see them bolt across the parking lot to a small, nondescript shelter by the bus stop.  
     "Hey," Ava said, and I looked up.  "Wait around for like half an hour, and I can give you a ride home, 'kay?  'Cause biking is kind of a horrible idea right now."  I blinked and nodded, slightly surprised that she knew I biked here.  "Beautiful.  Okay, I've just gotta finish some stuff, first.  Like making up for all the negligent volunteers here.  I mean, how hard is it..."  She went back to work, talking to herself about, like, nurturing the library and whatnot.  I opened my notebook and started drawing again, dealing with the nuances of various pen strokes.
