Hey, guys. So, I rotate between phases where I think a lot about Isaac in my free time, and phases where I think a lot about Anthony in my free time. I'm currently in an Anthony phase, so this might not be very good.
I apologize for whatever may follow.
In other news, if anyone wants to listen to the full "Coraline" soundtrack....
And does anybody know why The Shins sound so aggressively British? I mean, they're from Albuquerque.... (update: apparently, the lead singer lived in England for five years. so that's a thing.)
Prompt: --
Vocab: peruse, plausible, paradigm, palatable, penchant

Isaac Bade-
"Hey, are you okay?" Ava glanced over at me. I swallowed and nodded, forcing myself to relax. God, I hated driving. The rest of the world, however, seemed to have a penchant for driving everywhere. Not that I didn't appreciate the ride, and Ava's driving was more than palatable; it was just everyone else that scared me. I knew it just wasn't plausible that I could go my life without being in a car crash. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed we were barreling down the road. I imagined twisting, turning, tumbling, the crunch of metal, the squealing of breaks. I sighed, feeling sick. Why couldn't I just be normal about these things?
And suddenly, we were in my driveway. I blinked and looked around.
"Did I get it?" Ava asked, suddenly excited. "I got the right house, didn't I?" I grinned and nodded. "Yes! Well damn, that really kills the paradigm. I usually forget where everything is. Hell, I can hardly find the same shoes to wear in the mornings." She got out and we unloaded my bike. "You'd think I spent my free time perusing street maps or something....Anyways...." She smiled at me and hopped back in her car, and I walked my bike to the garage.
"See you on Monday, Isaac. You owe me a prize!" She pointed at me purposefully through the open window, and with that she was gone, disappeared in the rain.
