RAEMISTA'S ESSAY, BY STARLYN JENNINGS
Current mood: nerdy
Category: Writing and Poetry
so my sister asked me to write an essay for her and i was bored enough to do it, but when i finished she told me should couldn't possibly turn it in! lol i think its creative and i followed the directions.. tell me what you think
-The directions were to answer this question "If i were shipwrecked on an island what kind of shelter would i need, how would i build it, and what materials would i use off the island?"
-If was shipwrecked on an island i would need a shelter that would with stand the heat, block the wind, and shield the frequent showers. I would use bamboo as frames, bananas tree leafs as shingles and walls. Assuming i would find tall grass i can tie things together. I would also gather cocoanuts and crack them in half and use as a rain catcher. The rain catcher is pretty self- explanatory. I would need fresh water. I would probably gather medium to large rocks to put around my hut as a foundation. Then i would work on my front "yard". I would gather small rocks for my fire place. Then i would gather dry grass, small sticks and chunks of wood. I would then use my glasses to ignite the fire. Note: fire place is a safe ten feet away from my hut. I would look for bundles of dry grass for my bed. I would use fresh grass & long sticks to make a cage for my super... crabs, cause lets be honest, that would be all i could catch. I would tie the sticks together. Then i would search for some bananas and tons of coconuts. I would save the coconut shells for bowls to eat out of. The final touch would be something to make me feel at home and help me keep my sanity. I would walk up to the beach and search for old fish bones and hollow sea shells. I would then do my best, with the help of fresh grass to make my little hut a wind chime.

Not Even 100 Men Or More Can Drag Me Away From You
Monday 11pm
I'm at work and will be there another hour. My sister, Raemista calls me. She is pretty sure her husband of a year, Michael is planning on breaking up with her tonight. He had been sending her texts like "we just dont make eachother happy" "I dont think this is working, ect" So she asks me to come on over. I arrive a little after 12am and for the hour or so I'm there, they seem to be getting along fine. So I take off home. It had been a long day; pretty tired.
3am
I was just about asleep and I get a call, "Starlyn, he hit me! I unplugged his phone charger and he hit me with his phone!", crys Raemista, "He wont get off the phone with his family".
I can hear them both screaming at each other and I offer to go over there and take her and their year old son, Donevan back to my place to sleep. She says no. So I get off the phone and go on to sleep.
4am
Missed call.....from Raemista (slept through it)
5am
I wake to my phone vibrating on my night stand and answer it,"STARLYN, HE SSAT AT ON TOP OF MMME AND WOULDNT GET OFF!!!! (SHE IS HYPERVENTALTING AT THIS POINT) HE WAS LAUGHING SAY 'Oh, am I sufficating you? can you not breathe?' SO I SCRATHED HIM!" She basically had to claw him off of her. I told her to grab Donevan and I would be over there to get them. I pull up into their apartment complex and I see Michael walking the oppoiste direction, shirtless with Donevan off to the main road. I told him to hand me the baby. He refuses and keeps walking. Raemista is running chasing him begging him to stop. I called the cops. The cops arrived and seperated us. Michael was on the oppisite side of the street with Donevan. After speaking to all three of us about what happened, they come over to my sister and I to tell us his parents were 10 minutes away and since Michael had as much rights to the baby as my sister did, they could not stop him from taking Donevan. They suggest we get an attorney. So, I calmly asked (my sister is crying hysterically) it all depends on who is holding him?. Correct. So if my sister walked over their and picked him up out of Michaels hands, she would then have the primary custody? Correct. But they couldnt allow her to do that in case of a tug a war.
Now heres the deal, Michaels parents had just moved and we dont know their new address. All we know is the town. and that town is 3 hours away. So we watched his parents pull up, take Donevan and leave, without even saying getting to say good bye. Raemista collapsed in heartbreak.
Tuesday Pearl Birthday
We get few hours of sleep the rest of the morning. And with awesome help from my friend Brandy, we pull the Birthday Party off! Raemista is now at this time walking around dazed. People are giving her advice right and left "get an attorney" "file for temporary custody" but all is so pricey and time consuming.
Wednesday
4pm ish Raemista calls me sobbing,"I cant do this. I miss him so much, I cant go another minute!" So i have come over and we start plotting. First we begin with google. We google up attorneys, but they all wanted $200 an hour and $2500 up front. Then we google the yellow pages, put in his parents home line and BAM got their new address. Then we google rights. Any parent who conceals a child from the other parent with legal custody is in fact kidnapping and kidnapping is a felony and that means we have the right to practice the 9th admindment (sp?) Civial Arrest. Ok, so we have a rough plan. Drive down there, knock on the door, ask to see Donevan, Michael refuses, call the cops and request charges be pressed on him for kidnapping.
So we hop in the car with Donevans SSC, Lease of the apartment to show his residency, birth certificate, and a doctors bill. We then begin our long journey to our 3 hour destination with assistance of Olive (Our GPS, named because she is so awesome!) 3 hours fly fast and next thing I know we are in the neighborhood per Olive. So not only had they moved to a different house, but also had bought a new car. What helped us find the RIGHT house was they had only their screen door closed and there was Donevan! walking around the living room! We pull in an dpark the car. We go to the front door and remain calm (of course it took everything not to just open the door and snatch Donevan) Michaels step dad walked over and picked up Donevan and waved us in (INVITED US IN) he obviously wasnt sure what to do so he grabs his cell to make a phone, call probably to his wife. In the midst of unsureness he hands over (HANDS THE BABY TO) Raemista! I casually ask him if Michael is home, he shakes his head no. BAM! Ok this is by law kidnapping, lets go! and we dart ou the house with Donevan.. "OH NO YOU DONT!!, " the step dad yells as he grabs for Raemista. I sternly told him if you touch her that is assult. YOU have no right to this baby! He tries to block raemista from the car door that opens to the carseat so raemista runs to the passenger side and Jumps in! I jump in the drivers seat, lock the doors and DRIVE! Raeemista is buckleing him in as we make our way out of the neighborhood witht he step dad yelling im calling the cops! We exited through the small town going speed and never pulled over. With help from Olive, we were homebound! took an extra long detour to be safe. hahah HAH! you do not mess with us when it comes to our babies!
Retracking, we didnt do a thing illegal. He invited us in and handed the baby over.
My sister and I were so n synce through it, the whole mission was accomplised in less the a minute and half! We maybe crazy, but we are not idiots! Michael was the idiot to ever mess with us! When it comes to our babies, we will never quit and we will always conqur! He is now facing the same position he left Raemista in.. She has primary legal custody until he gets a lawyer and has a judge speak otherwise.
Thursday
Donevan is back in his mothers arms.

They Always Come Back
Are you suffering from a post-break up situation? Is it bad? Has he not called you or texted you back...in days? Did you do something crazy or unforgiveable? Or worse, unforgettable? Well, I've got great news! They ALWAYS come back. "Impossible", you say, "You have no idea how ugly I've made it, ect". I don't care, they always come back and if you can realize that and accept that, then you can redeem yourself and end this painful heartbreak. I can't pinpoint exactly, but I can give you a ballpark. One day up to one year. I've never experienced any longer than a year and I promise you, I've done some pretty crazy, wicked, unforgiveable, unforgettable crap, yet, it was forgiven and it was forgotten and somehow I always end up back on top. It's exactly where I wanted to be the moment "he" decided he was deleting me out of "his" life for "good". I promise you, the quicker you can tell yourself "They always come back" and believe it, the quicker the douche bag actually comes back. Still not convinced? Need some examples? Ok:)
Example #1
Relationship: Serious, Off and On
I was head over heels for this handsome, smart, brown eyed boy. To the point it made me crazy...CRAZY. Some days he wanted me, most days he didn't. He mainly wanted me for sex. I would blow up his phone with texts and calls, once I called him 72 times in less than 2 hours. Another time, I called him so much he was just forwarding my calls to his voicemail, so I would scrape the phone on the wall for about a minute, then hang up and do it again. I broke into his voicemail once and would secretly screen all of his messages (deleting the ones I didn't feel he NEEDED to hear) I did the whole creating fake profiles to get on his and his little girlfriends social networks, I slept with his best friend, I'd drive by his apartment at night, I'd befriend any new girl and convince her to dump him, ect. It was bad. I did this to him for 3 years. He was my obsession and I wasn't happy unless he was miserable. He would freak out on me here and there (which I would be pleased, because any attention was better than no attention) and the final straw? I had been invited over to his apartment for a booty call, followed by the next morning him throwing my shit out in the hallway telling to leave. It hurt. I drove home crying my eyes out and I said to myself, "One day, he is going to want me back and I won't give a shit!" The day came (in less than 6months), he called me over and purposed to me, saying no one ever loved him like I did. That was almost 3 years ago...He is still begging for me back. THEY ALWAYS COME BACK!
Example #2
Relationship: It wasn't one if you asked him.
We'll call him Mark. I had met him at a little furniture store in a small, but up-coming town. He had beautiful blue eyes and a great sense of humor. Our first date and I knew I wanted to marry him. He was my ideal dream guy. But unfortunately, the feelings were far from mutual. After our first kiss, he just couldn't bare the idea of us being an item. He would however want to see me about everyday and I found it all very confusing, but when he'd see me, he'd remind me we were just friends and nothing more. On his behalf, if we did have sex, it was me always initiating it, so I can't say I was a booty call by any means. I can say he enjoyed my company and that was it. But even my company, became to much for him. He frankly told me I wasn't his type. I was too short, not pretty enough, had freckles, had kids, ect. My esteem was shot. As much as I believed in my own advice, I wasn't sure this one would actually come back. 9 months later I get a random text from him asking to see me. At this point, what feelings I had were gone and my attention was else where, so I politely declined and his reply to that? "I think you were the one I let slip away..." Yep, they always come back!
Those are just examples, I really could list allot more. I gave you those two stories so you could see I have been rejected for being crazy and for not even having "appeal", but they both came back as have all the others. The ones I was serious with, the ones I wasn't. Their come backs come in many forms; E.g., texts, emails, front door steps, whatever. And personally, from my experience, the crazier you were...the better. You want to be unforgettable. I wouldn't trash his car or hit him over the head with a bat, but I think its ok to be a little emotionally dramatic. As long as you put yourself back together before he returns and by doing that, when he does (which he will) you will once again have the ball back in your court. Just like you did the day you met (cause girls always have it at first, we just give it away for some stupid reason). Hope this little blog helped you fell better and best of wishes!
