I don't do "short" stories

For English we have to write a short story about some kind of superstition. Obviously, it’s not real. But we have to use some kind of “local color” which is a location or event in a certain area… I chose the Steelyard. And my supernatural is that it’s haunted, but I don’t know by what yet.
The story isn’t supposed to be very long. From the directions we were told that it could be written on the front and back of the directions sheet. My story however is on four sheets of notebook paper front and back, that’s eight total pages. I dont do short stories apparently.
This is also obvious from the current story that I am typing up and has no title, which is 36 pages double spaced.
It’s actually kind of funny, the short person cant keep things short. I never do anything small. All of my stories, all of my text, everything that I explain, it takes a lot of words. For being so small, I have a lot on my mind. I think I have something to say about everything that happens. And it’s weird because I never say anything on here. Everything I put on JDKC is about school or my incars. I dont talk about the things that used to be important to me. I mean yes, school is important, driving is important, but i really should be writing about the things that I want to see changed. I should be talking about everything that I want other people to be aware of. And I’m not. From now on, I might start writing about more of that stuff.
Also, hopefully by the end of the week, I should have a “Movie Review” page up. I dont know if it’s going to be a blog or an actual page like the books page. But I’ll have that figured out eventually.
Always remember while you read this… I’m Jackie, and I don’t know crap.
