Fave Poem

So I'm totally in love with this poem:

As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Bristol Street,
The crowds upon the pavement
Were fields of harvest wheat.

And down by the brimming river
I heard a lover sing
Under an arch of the railway;
"Love has no ending.

I'll love you, dear, I'll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street.

I'll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry,
And the seven stars go sqawking
Like geese about the sky.

The years shall run like rabbits,
For in my arms I hold
The Flower of the Ages,
And the first love of the world."

But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime:
"O let not Time deceive you,
You cannot conquer Time.

In the burrows of the Nightmare
Where Justice naked is,
Time watchess from the shadow
And coughs when you would kiss.

In headaches and in worry
Vageuly life leaks away,
And Time will have his fancy
To-morrow or to-day.

Into many a green valley
Drifts the appalling snow;
Time breaks the threaded dances
And the diver's brilliant bow.

O plunge your hands in water,
Plunge them in up to the wrist;
Stare, stare in the basin
And wonder what you've missed.

The glacier knocks in the cupboard,
The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.

Where the beggars raffle the banknotes
And the Giant is enchanting to Jack,
And the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer,
And Jill goes down on her back.

O look, look in the mirror,
O look in your distress;
Life remains a blessing
Although you cannot bless.

O stand, stand at the window
As the tears scald and start;
You shall love your crooked neighbour
With your crooked heart."

It was late, late in the evening
The lovers they were gone;
The clocks had ceased their chiming,
And the deep river ran on.


It was an essay prompt in my AP English class. I loved that prompt. My favorite one to write about ever!! Just thought I'd share it with you.

Thoughts and More Random Shite

I absolutely love Yael Naim. She has a great voice and you can tell that she has an accent, but it just makes the lyrics sound that much cooler. I like her song "New Soul." Sometimes thats how I feel. Like I traveled to a strange world to learn things that I don't know and I totally feel like I make every possible mistake known to man. I'm a G like that.

So Betty is gone for 3 and a half weeks and he's only been gone for a day and its already kind of killing me. I never realized how much I talk to him til today. I see him before school, at lunch, and afterschool and then we talk on AIM at night from the time he gets home from school or work til we go to bed. Its crazy and I think something must be done to try and control this because I'm not sure if its healthy to need someone this much. It kind of scares me. I also totally miss Stanton. I wrote him a note and asked him if he'd take my stuffed lobster and take pics with it in Germany so it'd be all world traveled. Then he texted me and asked why I wrote him a note and not Chris and that proved more complicated to answer than I thought. But I made it through and he (Stanton) understood. So I'm pretty sure they've landed and are all settled now which is totally cool. I happy that Stanton and Chris got to go and I'm sorry for Wes because he didn't get to go. Which totally blows, but he says its ok, but I'm not sure if I believe him or not.

I totally just realized that I graduate in like 3 months. I'm scared shitless to be honest. When I was a freshman I was so excited to be a senior and to be graduating, but now I'm just seriously freaked. What am I going to do with my life? What am I going to be? Where am I going to live? What college am I going to? Who out of my high school friends am I going to stay in contact with? Will the things that matter the world to me right now mean anything 10 years down the road?

School has me on the edge of reason fo shiz. All my teachers decided to make things due this week and give tests and whatnot. Its ridiculous. Its like they all had a staff meeting and decided what week would totally fock with the students the most. I think every teacher on the face of the earth secretly hates kids and makes it their personal mission to make their students miserable at some point during their academic career which is seriously focked up. Not cool teachers! Not cool at all. You sicken me.

I'm tired and I'm going to bed and I'm ignoring the rest of the homework I have so suck it Paradise High. I don't mind. Good night.

Michelle's 18th

Her birthday part was pretty much amazing. So much fun, you don't even know. We watched Smokin' Aces, which is a rather nifty movie (lots of language though). But the overall movie is awesome.

I really hate when there's unnecessary violence in movies. Like when someone is beating up another person because they want them to tell them some information, but it doesn't make any sense because they want the guy to talk, but they're beating him up so he can't talk and then they keep telling him to talk and he can't.

I have nothing else to say at this moment.

San Francisco

J-Fizzle, Non, Sparky and I went to San Francisco on Thursday to experience different cultures and see how religion has spread through the city. We went on a slightly guided tour through the city's different districts and ate some pretty awesome food and saw people all over the coolio spectrum. Castro Street is pretty much da bomb, 'cept for that one dude that had his junk on display via his black leather ass-less chaps. Woah is the only word for that sight. It was nasty ass but Sparky and I are ok now. Fully recovered and everything.

I got these fantastic shoes at a recycled clothing shop in SF for like $7! Craziness and they fit like a glove, they were totally meant to be. I also got an AMAZING necklace today in Chico. Its so cute.

I'm in love with a woman and that woman's name is Ingrid Michaelson. No, this love is not romantic in anyway, I just love her voice and lyrics. They're so sweet and girlie and I just love them. It fits my situation and is just awesome. I especially like "The Way I Am".

O.O There's another lady in my life right now. Sara Bareilles is what she goes by. "Love Song" is like the bombest song ever! Its true and the music video doesn't suck like some do. I actually really like it. I'm a sapp now, its true.

I wrote a poem whilst in San Francisco and I thouhgt I would share it with world. Here we go:


Dirty streets make it hard to see the beauty, but its here.
Contained in every street corner, cafe, mural and individual.
I give thanks for the sunshine and refreshing breeze provided for my contentment.
The city forces strangers to notice each other and even connect.
Total strangers help each other in their individual times of need.
The city is never whats expected, so full of hope and positivity.
A cultural melting pot is this faire city; so much so that I am slack-jawed in awe.
To imagine so many different people co-existing in such a small area is impossible.
But here they are; so many ethnicities, persuations.
So many.
So.
Many.

Well, there you go. I'm done. :D Bye.

Discussion Group or What Have You

Tonight was a discussion group at J-Fizzle's house. There was a group of us that included Non, PJ, J-Fizzle, Batman's Robin, das Hubbard posse, and Verano (Summer). It was pretty much a kick in the pants in the best possible way. Though I didn't feel as though I could add to the conversation, I did in fact feel like I was part of the discussion, which was a little weird. I totally felt like I was free to say what was on my mind or ask questions regarding clarification and whatnot. Anywho, it was oodles of fun as was expected. I laughed a lot more that I thought though which I was totally down with.

Verano over there totally makes some great brownies too. They were all like yummy X3 on the outside and yummy X9 on the inside. All moist and whatever, YUM. I cannot get over those. And the casserole thingymajig was also delicious. Kind of like lasagna, but not really at all. Yumoh.

J-Fizzle is kind of scary with a saudering tool. He kept threatening to sauder my mouth shut and finger removal, but he's a shell of a man. He couldn't follow through. I know this and he knows this. He's got to be one of the most awesome guys I know though. I is serious. I is, I tell you.

Giving Blood

I gave blood for the first time today and I was scared out of my mind. My friend totally canoodled me into donating like 3 hours before it happened. Right after school she was like, "Dude, how about we donate blood this afternoon instead of working on the english paper." And I was like, "Ok." So we did and now I have a bruise on my finger and on my arm. Apparently I have healthy blood flow because I filled half my bag up in like 4 mins. Pretty crazy.

I'm really tired, drained actually.

Voting, Tonight and Other Things

I voted today and it was so not the biggest deal of my life like I thought it would be. I went to the polling place and they were like, "Whats your name?" and I was like, "Blah, blah, blah." and they were like, "Do you want to vote electronically or on paper?" and I was like,"Dude! Hook me up with the electronic voting!!" and then two mins later I was done. I was like, "All that hype...all that build up...for this?!" But whatever, I'm over that.

My dad was totally a woman tonight. We were watching Everybody Loves Raymond, because my parents love that show, and he was like, "You never tell me anything about your day at school. You don't appreciate that I take an interest in your life. You blow me off and make me feel like I'm not important or that I'm an inconvenience." And I was like, "WTF? Where did this come from?!" So he was mad at me for like 3 hours and we weren't on speaking terms and then when I was going to bed we hugged and I was like, "You know I love you and I'll be talking to you tomorrow." And apparently we're all better now.

I must say I'm a little emo right now. I'm going to go mourn the materialistic and egotistical society we live in while being completely self-loathing.

I'm not really going to do any of those things, it just sounded cool to me. xD

Voting

Tomorrow is the primary and I still don't know who I'm voting for. Its going to be a Democrat, I know that much. The bad thing is that I haven't/can't tell my parents that I registered as a Democrat or they'll kick me out on my sorry behind. And we can't have that now can we? My dad was going on one of his political tyrades and kept asking me who I was voting for and I just kind of nodded my head in agreement of whatever he was saying because Gawd knows thats easier than trying to express an opinion.

SuperBowl!

The SuperBowl kicked some major butt. I was so proud of Eli Manning and I don't know what was wrong with Tom Brady. I think he was self-medicated or something. He had no emotion at all, he was like "Hey guys. Lets just get this over with so I can go home." I must admit thought that it was kind of boring til the 4th quarter, then it totally picked up. I really thought the Patriots were going to pull it out of their bumholes at the last minute, but was so relieved when Tyree caught that pass for the touchdown for the Giants, I was like "OMG. Yes!!!! I'm so excited! Did you frakking see that?!" It was AMAZING.

My friend was totally sick today so I bought her some foods that she was craving like an apple and a Big Mac. Weirdo much? She sounds like a man too. Her voice is all deep and whatnot. It makes me laugh. We watch a couple episodes from the second season of Lost. It was awesome. I don't feel as lost as I did before. Her parents and her all have bronchitus. I just hope it skips over me because I don't want to have bronchitus. I really don't want to be sick, but I didn't want to watch the SuperBowl by myself.

Rhythm & Motion

Omg. It rocked my socks off. Don and everyone were so great! I loved it!!! I actually kind of want to join dance now. Can you imagine me dancing?! I don't know, but its a great way to stay in shape (or get in shape in my case) and hang out with friends and have FUN.

Tomorrow is the SuperBowl!!! I'm so excited, even though my Colts aren't in it. I can't wait to sit on my bum while eating lots of food stuffs and yelling rather loudly at the tellie. Doesn't that sound like fun? For shiz. xD

I'm so done with the snow. I hates it now. I just want it to stop so I can go to school and vote and whatnot. I couldn't hang out with my friends because of the weather. I'm mad.

Science Vs. Theology

Now, I'm not the most learned person when it comes to either topic, but I found the lecture to be rather interesting (the parts i understood at least, which was like 2.346% of the information presented, but who's counting?). To be honest, I did a lot of doodling (pickles for instance and croissants) because I didn't really get what the wonderful professor of PhD physics was saying. I knew I should have taken Physics instead of Anatomy, then I (theoretically) would have had a chance at not having 7/8ths of all speech go in one ear and out the other. Oh, well. I have a mini list of terms to look up so I have the teensiest bit of an understanding.

I'm hyper from caffine and tired because my brain was stretched like Stretch Armstrong 'cept I don't have any super powers that make it ok for an appendage of mine to be stretched quite that far. I'm only a little girl! Show some sympathy.

Hanging out with J-Fizzle and Non & Jon was especially enjoyable. Thank you for letting me tag along. Even though I almost fell asleep towards the end the whole night was very interesting and pretty awesome. You three are like three mini riots, all displaying different genres. Its great.

My First

This here is my first blog ever. I feel rather awesome. So I was thinking I want to go Friday's For Lunch because I haven't gone in forever. I love hanging out with homeless people and listening to stories and hanging with J-Fizzle o' course. He's like my bro with a fro from another mo-ther. I don't know how he got the sense of humor he has - especially because he went to bible college and I have to say that isn't the place that I thought a person with his personality would go but I don't judge and I'm just happy to know him - and I love every minute I'm exposed to it.

Last night I watched Lost after missing an entire season so I was completely confused, but it was awesome anyways. I second J-Fizzle's theory of clones, its either that or a series of psychological breaks and an unreal parallel universe or something. Crazy stuff right there and I know crazy. I meant to watch the the recap show for the previous season of Lost but my mom decided that she wanted to watch Alton Brown that night. Curse you Alton Brown and your plentiful culinary knowledge!!
