    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

The Superpower That I Wish For

Friday, May 21st, 2010 by Anita (via cell)

Been watching Anthony Bourdaine’s No Reservations back to back on Netflix the last couple days. Really wishing I had his way with words…just be in whatever random situation and pontificate about it in detail on the spot. Interesting detail.

As someone who really doesn’t talk that much, to me that sort of fluency seems to me like an unattainable comic book superpower. Even as I’m writing this blog (writing not talking, no audience, in the comfort of my own home with no time pressure) I’m struggling to figure out what words to put here. I mean what the hell it’s all about my own thoughts it should be easy right? Not so much :D.
