Concerning BBQ Sauce

 
Life is full of hard decisions. You have to decide whether you would rather enjoy things you love and be different or to give them up and fit in. I face this choice every time we have sausages and burgers.
 
Why? You ask. Well you see everyone in my family, except Nathaniel and me, like tomato sauce and dislike BBQ sauce. We like BBQ sauce better than tomato sauce though.
 
Every time we have these meals I have to decide whether to be like everyone else and have tomato sauce or have BBQ sauce which I like oh so much better.
 
I have to chose whether to be different, have a great meal and have everyone look at me like I am weird or to have tomato sauce, fit in and not have the best meal ever! Hard choice.
 
Luckily for me though I have mastered the art of ignoring my family. That way I don't have to fit in. I can be different and enjoy myself.
 
As I think about it, I realise I am very different from most people anyway. I have short hair, braces and an annoying mole on one cheek. I like eating ice cream straight from the tub, I adore peanut butter and jam sandwiches (peanut butter and jelly if you are in the USA), I wear dangly cat earrings, I normally wear skirts, I am interested in mythology and gods. There are so many things that make me different.
 
Is it always good to fit in? I don't think so. What would the world be like if we were all the same? I don't really want to imagine it.
 
So BBQ sauce or tomato sauce? BBQ!
 
Which do you like better?

Dinner With The Dead

Jane Austen by Ben Sutherland (CC BY 2.0)  


If I could have dinner with someone from the past, who would it be? Interesting question. I have a lot of people I admire from the past. Poets, artists, musicians, but after thinking about it long and hard I think I would like to meet Jane Austen.

Why? Because I am a great fan of her novels. She is brilliant author. For someone who loves writing as much as me, she is a hero!

What would we eat? I think that I would have something like spaghetti or tortellini. They both seem like rather a grand meal to eat and they are so yummy. It just seems right!

Where would we eat it? At some grand famous restaurant. We would sit at a quiet table at the back and chat our way through dinner.

What would we do after dinner? Why chat some more of course. I would try and get all the writing tips I could. Why go to a movie or party when you can talk about writing?

What would be my most important question to ask Jane Austen? Where her ideas came from. What inspired her novels. I always wonder about where authors get their inspiration. It would be so interesting to find out what inspired every novel in the world.


1920s Flounced Ball Gown by Sacheverelle (CC BY 2.0)  


What would I wear? I think I would wear a beautiful ball gown. Something pretty that isn't too hot. I would probably wear flat shoes as I hate heels.

Would anyone else be there? No! I wouldn't want anyone else there because they might change the subject from what I would like to talk about.

I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
