I’m pretty sure I could easily be a vegetarian…if I didn’t love chicken so much.
10 Things to 10 People
I miss you. A lot. But hopefully we’ll see each other more next year.
I still don’t understand why.
I wish I hadn’t cared what people thought. I wish I hadn’t made lame excuses. It’s now that I want the time back.
It’s nice to see that you’re happier.
I don’t know what I’m going to do without you next year.
I’m so incredibly psyched...

August is Over: When I'm gone. →
august-is-over:
I won’t be around forever, none of us will. Although I know I won’t be around nearly as long as I ought to be. But that’s okay because I know that when I’m gone and when the world shall forget my existence, when I become nothing more than the shadow of a gravestone on a somber meadow, my name will…
FACT #7
Contrary to popular belief, I actually love hugs.
:)
Life is just really, really great lately.
FACT #6
With most of the writing I post, I’m not lucky enough to get away with one draft. Most of the time I draft a piece at least a couple times - switching a word here, reworking a line there.
Take The Way We Were for example. That particular one went through 7-8 edits. No joke. From draft one to the final version, you wouldn’t even know it’s the same poem.
Once in a while though, I...
It's the Little Things
Frustration Stress Endless worries It’s amazing How the smallest of gestures Can turn it all around Can push it all away Can make a day. Can make everything seem Just a little bit smaller Even if only for a moment. A word A morning message A silly face An apologetic hug Sometimes It’s the little things That mean the most. So thank you. You made my day.
Unexpectedly
I’ve had this thing For you For far too long Feelings I’ve tried And tried to shake But still hang on fast And I was just starting To break away To pry their claws off One by one When unexpectedly I saw you the other day. Your hair back to normal (Finally) Your eyes shining with excitement (They get me every time) As we talked of next year. (We’ll be together, you know.) Your...
FACT #5
I’m more likely to ‘like’ something than reblog it.
FACT #4
I have a bunch of ideas swimming around in my head from the past few days that I’ll hopefully translate into some writing in the very near future.
FACT #3
I am so-excited-I-could-jump-out-of-my-skin and so-sad-and-terrified-I-could-cry about graduating and going to college next year. All at the same time.
FACT #2
90% of the time I don’t feel prepared for chem tests.
Like tonight for example.
“If you’re faced with a choice and you have to choose - I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.”
— Rascal Flatts, “My Wish”
So what am I supposed to do when they both mean just as much?
FACT #1
I have the hardest time in the world coming up with titles for things I write.
Currently
“Curve of the Earth” - Matt Nathanson
“Even I” - Vedera
“Drops of Jupiter” - Train
“Show Me What I’m Looking For” - Carolina Liar
“Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”

I can't decide if I'm wishing for another snow day...
So much for chem homework...
The Holiday is on.
Jude Law.
The end. ;)

You know those books that when you start reading them, you keep reading and reading and reading until you suddenly look down and realize you’re on page 100? It’s like the words just flow and you can’t help but keep turning the page because you’re so sucked into the story. I wish I could write like that.
Really, really great →
Peaceful Façade
Short lived bliss A momentary interlude in the nonstop chaos A brief moment in the eye of the storm How ridiculous To think it could have lasted Could have been real for once Could be the relief from the constant pressure Bearing down from all directions: Do this! Be here! Don’t forget! ENOUGH already! Leave me be I’m falling apart at the seams And I can’t breathe Because here I...
More Time
More time. That’s all we needed. Young and naive, Stuck in preconceived ideas, Lost in what could or should have been instead of what was— I never saw you. You didn’t stand a chance. Why didn’t you convince me otherwise? Why didn’t you try? Why didn’t you see that I was just scared and unsure, lost in uncharted territory. More time. That’s all we needed....
I hate it when I stand over the trashcan and...
…twice.

I rediscovered my 6th grade English portfolio this morning. Oh man…
Feeling accomplished
Today has been so, so great. Really. I slept in three hours, cleaned, did chem and calculus, ordered prints online, scrapbooked, had breakfast for dinner, read, and I’m currently trying to decide on a movie. I’m so relaxed, it’s not even funny. :)
And we get another snow day tomorrow?! Heck yes. I’ll get some writing done. Expect something new soon!
Lots of love,
...
Snow days are the best.
Especially when you live where I do.
