Week of Oct. 5-11: Memoir Prompt

Some men get by on their looks alone. This isn’t that man. Some guys strike a woman dead with their looks. Once again, you’ve got the wrong guy. But yet, there are some men who can at least show a little determination in their faces. Now I think we’re getting somewhere! Enter Robert Nielsen. Nineteen year old sophomore Journalism student out of Papillion, Nebraska. He’s a little beyond description, but we’re going to try out best.

First off, there was a time when he stood higher than the rest. However with the crossover from elementary to junior high, his standing caused him to blend in with the rest of the crowd. His deep green eyes aren’t the piercing type, and let’s be honest, sometimes they give off the “glazed over” impression. This means he’s deep in thought, a place he travels many times every day. The hair is even harder to describe. As if it were the passing seasons, it reverts between gold and a dark brown. Those long strands just can’t seem to come to a consensus sometimes. And that skin will take you straight back to the homeland of his ancestors. Not quite as pale as snow, but he almost seems to be gaining ground on the cold powder. It’s obvious that his descendents are northern European. Scandinavian (Danish) and Welsh to be precise with some German mixed in. He frequently takes on that rugged look across his face, occasionally contemplating going for the infamous goatee but never quite building a consensus for it.
