Z is for ... ???

Thanks to all who dropped by yesterday! The answer to yesterday's post was, YEARNING. Here's to the last day of the challenge. Woohoo!!! *raises coffee cup over aching head*

So today, I'm just going to be my good old (or odd) self:

OMG! It's ovah! My cells are splitting as we speak due to the over-excitement, forming an entirely different person beside me who is plaiting my hair.

Wow. Nice feeling. I haven't had someone play with my hair since I was in primary school. Can you remember, in school, when you'd ask the person sitting behind you on the floor to play with your hair, or 'draw on your back'??? hehe. But then you'd have to switch places and reciprocate, but that was okay too, because you'd write letters on their back and tell them to guess.

I wanna be a kid again. I'd do things a little differently, I think. I wouldn't be so shy and inadvertently snobby. I wouldn't dress like a crazy fruit loop with colours that don't match and draw unwanted attention to myself. I would succumb to my fantasies and punch the little shithead redhead freckled git boy who always teased me. I would SHARE with other kids and try not to be such an outsider.

I was a little shit as a kid. Not as in 'misbehaving,' but I was selfish. I wanted everything to myself. But I still think the other kids were pretty much the same. I will never forget the day that I had a friend come over to my house after school, and when she asked if she could KEEP one of my toys, and I refused, she spent the entire time sitting on the porch step waiting for her mother to come and pick her up. My mother remembers differently. She still insists that I wouldn't let her touch the toy and the girl got pissed off. Gah!

Anyhoo, A-Z is ovah! Like dip di-dip di-dip, Doo-bop a doo-bee doz, Congratulations! Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop!


So, can you guess the emotion/feeling/state of mind (a noun) depicted in this piece that begins with the letter ‘Z’? Please nip over to Nicole's blog to read her interpretation of our Z-prompt word. Here’s the link!

YAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
