Ok, so my sisters gave me the idea of posting up my ideas and whatnot else for any stories I'm working on, so they know what's going on. Here goes:
A story about a girl named Annabelle.
This is the scene that started it all. It actually happened at work; and my mind got to work and I've been 'working' on it ever since.
“What’s that?” He said, nodding towards her book. Annabelle looked up from her book, picked it up, and showed him the book. “This is the last Harry Potter book.” All he said was “oh,” and she went back to her reading. A customer came so he went off to help them. A few minutes later he came back to sit down by her; yet again she looks up form her book and asks him, “You’re not a Harry Potter fan?” He answers with, “No, I’ve never seen the movies.”
“Oh, the books are much better.”
More customers come in, and he leaves her again. About five minutes later, after she had only read two or three pages, Bryan walks back to her and asks, “You’re not done with that yet?” “I’m a slower reader,” is her response.
Annabelle
Interests & Hobbies: Reading, writing, music, learning, science, figuring out how things work, outdoors (nature), photography, journaling/scrap booking,
She likes taking pictures and gluing them in her books, her journals. She has many books filled with odd things, others might consider it junk, but to her, they are memories, treasures of her life. She may put a receipt in it or a candy wrapper, or anything really. She’s always working on her journals, recording her life; it’s something she started doing when she was four and she has been doing it ever since.
She doesn’t like taking posed pictures; they’re always candid. She says she likes to capture life as it really is, not pretending it to be something else.
Her favorite movies: Cars, North and South
Mater from ‘Cars’ really reminds her of a friend she would have.
North and South: She really likes how Mr. Thornton changes in the movie.
Music: Ever since she was a kid, she always listen to whatever her older siblings listened to, so she pretty much likes whatever they like.
Likes to experience with music, bass, and whatnot else; can listen to a song and pick out different instruments. Every time she listens to a song, she hears something new. She lets the music speak to her soul, and then her soul speaks to the music in return. She understands music, and the influences it has on her soul.
Like when she listens to music, she likes to blast the bass like there’s no tomorrow.
Occupation: She is currently working at Sue’s Diner, owned and run by Sue Turnings; a middle-aged lady, single, never married, no kids, age 43. Sue’s Diner has been going since Sue opened it in
Favorite pastimes: Blasting music, while she experiments with it, especially OMD’s song, Electricity; one of your absolute favorites. She says that one has a good bass. Her mother hates it when she does that. Blasting music. She can never understand why her daughter would want to run the risk of damaging her ears forever. To Annabelle, it’s not exactly a bad thing if she goes deaf; she would definitely appreciate music better, if in means of going deaf she has learned more in her experimenting.
Her mother has really ever quite understood why Annabelle does half the things she does.
