Once Upon a Time...

i’ve now literally lost 9 lbs with http://apps.facebook.com/hcgslim/. Has anyone else tried it? If not, I highly recommend!!

Life couldn’t get any better. I would have put that previous sentence in italics to emphasize sarcasm were it not for the fact that I’m kinda woohoo right now and it takes way too much effort. Thank God summer classes start on Monday so I’ll be too preoccupied to think about anything else…maybe… hopefully.

Things are starting to look a little brighter although outside it’s raining like no other… Discovered the joys of strawberry yogurt covered in strawberries about a week ago. Love you, IceBerry. Final exams are this week and then starts the summer classes which I’m pretty excited about. Got these awesome shoes at a yard sale which look like bowling shoes on heels. Turns out they’re made in England by this ridiculously expensive company/person by the name of John Fluevog. They’re now my new fav pair of shoes. Yay! I’m so tired. T_T

Me, me, me…

I’m such a selfish person. All I find myself talking about is me and my problems and my issues and what’s wrong with me. Selfish, complaining, and just an overall dumbass. I need to be stop being so vain and stop looking in every reflective surface I see. I’m not sure what I want to talk about on this blog anymore but I sure as hell don’t want to talk about me anymore. I just don’t want to use the word “I” anymore. Starting over the Harry Potter series today. It’s one of my best friend’s birthdays today so Happy Birthday, Sami and I hope that you had an awesome day and are feeling better. She is one of the most awesome people I know. So selfless. So loving and caring and protective of her family and friends and I’m so glad that I can call her my friend and have known her for so long. I hope we can chill in a nursing home together with Yana one day. I’m gonna go to sleep. I’m like a cake right now.

Never Thought I’d Live to See the Day…

Today actually went quite awesomely. To understand the full extent of why I had an awesome day, let me give you a bit of history. Sometime last year, my mother found my Harry Potter books under my bed. I had been secretly reading them for quite some time and I got to the middle of book 5 when she found them. She’s a very religious person to say the least and detests HP and all that jazz. She threw my books in the recycle bin. I never got to finish the series. Our relationship has been extremely tense and unenjoyable since then…well, even before then but now all the more so. [if that made any sense at all]. Anyways, today was the book sale at the library. I’ve been working on this painting for my friend’s mom and my mom liked it and wanted me to paint something similar for her. She said she would pay me and I just sort of ignored that and told her that she just had to pay for my books at the sale today. I found all 7 Harry Potter books and put them in my stack of 74 books. <3 She saw the Harry Potter books and looked at them then looked at me… then did this a couple more times and she walked up to the librarian/cashier and started writing the check. “You shouldn’t fill your mind with these things…,” she said as she wrote the check. XD best day ever. Then I got a new bookshelf, moved my desk out, and am currently rearranging my room. My Potter books look amazing lined up on my new bookshelf :3 I’ll take a picture or something when my room gets a bit tidier. Beautiful weather. Went on a drive without a destination with my dog. Cranked up the music and rolled down the windows. Things are looking a bit brighter… well, for now. At least I have my books back <3

Hello hello…

Why hello there… I’ve never actually partaken..partook? [that’s more than likely not a word but making up words is a privilege not a right] in any sort of blogging activity but here goes. I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. No no…nevermind. That’s a bit too much. Let me sum up. Freshman at NoVa for now then transferring to JMU in the Fall of 2010 and eventually becoming a middle school art teacher with a minor in math. LOVE math..and art. Whoever you are, you’ll just get to know me as you read on. If anyone at all is reading this… >_> “There’s no knowing where we’re going…”

Anyways, today I thought I had to babysit at 5am. Turns out I didn’t so I just drove around the neighborhood until sunrise. Love doing that anyways so it’s okay. Got 4 new piercings yesterday so now I’m up to 11 ^_^ Sleeping was painful, though. Earth Day was wonderful. 4/20 was also… wonderful..ish. But let’s not dwell on the past, eh? Today, I have an awards ceremony to go to for this poem I wrote that won 3rd in a poetry contest [only God knows why] then I guess I’ll finish painting this picture for my friend’s mom. Wow, I suck at this. It’s gorgeous outside <3

“Sleep”

Burning like a dry fire from hell
All the moisture is gone
Barren and lifeless like a desert
Waiting for night to come
Time moves like a dead sloth
Every minute is an eternity
Every second takes years to pass
Mind escapes the body
Logic escapes the mind
Eyelids are weighed down
As the rusty anchors fall
The vessel of dreams has arrived

(poem that won 3rd XD)

Went outside and took a nap in the grass under the bright blue sky. Gorgeous weather. Wore some goth pants today.. the ones with the straps and the buckles and spikes and zippers… those ones. SO comfortable. People gave me funny looks and I looked funnily at them as well. Woke up from my nap and wrote this “poem”…

“The Blade’s Lament”

I am a blade of grass in this big, green world
Fragile and wilting, yet beautiful and strong
Stepped on and cut down and growing all the long
Blowing this way and that
Having nowhere to go
Grounded in this hell that I’m supposed to call home
Instead of being a blade of grass, I’d rather be weed
That way I’d be useful and happy and loved and freed
People would notice me and take good care
Store me in bags and hide me in underwear
In the saving hands of a reefer
Ground up, smoked, and blown
Into billows of warm, warm air
Swirling madly about without a care
Watching all the people filled with merriment
With eyes as red as the heart of an elephant
The room filled with laughter and silly sounds
People dancing and singing and falling to the ground
Reminiscing on the good life as I start to leave
At least I was useful, at least I was free
Now gone, I’m gone
And there goes the last of me
