| So I really don't like poetry.
Not that you need to know why or that I don't like it, but I'm just sick of poetry and how much people love it so I thought I'd put out a counterpoint. Sure, Shel Silverstein is awesome, but that's because it's funny and rhymes. It's not some abstract insight into the "human condition"...much. I just don't like flowery words and randomly placed inflections.
"The words so sweetly
as if in embers
crawl from my pregnant lips
in sighs of broken chains
we begin"
It's like I'm at lesbian camp all over again. Sitting in the wet grass at cocoa house listening to a bunch of hairy-legged counselors slam about how hard and amazing it is to be an independent woman. Some MFA could spend months pouring over that thing I wrote and come to the conclusion that it's the single most ground-breaking and awe inspiring representation of the life a of a harp seal.
Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe it's something with which you have to naturally be in tune, I don't know. All I know is that you can have your poetry, just leave me out of it.
I suppose this was spurred by Stumble. After all, for some reason they group prose and poetry together so while I get some awesome book sites and writing tips, I also stumble upon web pages that have nothing on them except a poem by some famous person that throws random words together and expects me to understand.
Okay I'll stop now. But if the poem above intersted you, check out Justine's Book of Poetic Bullshit at your local library.

| Ugh. The web comic I read took a turn for the worst and just ruined my day. I thought you guys would want to know that.

| What a lovely dayMy slump is over. My work load has increased, but I have been infused with an unrelenting feeling of happiness despite deadlines for which I am unprepared. I probably won't feel this way tomorrow since tomorrow is a deadline, but for now I'm having a great time. :)
Because Kelly made one, I feel must now do the same because I know you all care. Here is my love list:
-Mom, Dad, Grace (because she's letting me take weird pictures of her for photo), Julian, Kelly, Talia (I need to talk to you mooooore), Julia, and Nikki (not that she'll ever read this). Aka, pretty much all my home friends/fries...besides Nikki. I'm being very nostalgic right now.
-School and the people in my class
-The fact that I'm taking a drumming elective next semester!!
-Binxy Winxy pudding and pie
-Pokemon Platinum
-My new Wii!!!!
-The improvement in my art
So I totally need to upload some of the things upon which I've been working in school. I want you all to see.
For now it's night time. Good night!

| So I finally struggled to scrape together a two page paper a week after it was due. I'm sitting in class waiting to hand it in at the end and teacher goes off about everyone's papers that were handed in last week and talking about common errors and what exactly one should quote/footnote/cite. Turns out I did everything he didn't want us to do so when class ends I'm going to have to look him in the eye and hand him a paper (a week late) and know I'm getting a D. Not only am I scared that I'll get a bad grade, but I'm also afraid that my teacher's going to think I'm an idot for writing such a quote-packed and uninteresting essay.
I'm a little disgruntled.
I need to play pokemon now. I wish I had brought my DS.
