Found...Treasures?

So sometimes I get creative bursts. During those outbreaks I usually get an idea for a poem or something...last year that happened a lot, and I rarely had paper or pens on me, so I would write part of it in a note application on my phone, and would just hope to remember the rest.

Towards the tail end of the summer I decided that was unacceptable. I found a very homemade-bohemian-looking journal that was the perfect size to carry around in my purse. Unfortunately, my brilliant idea did not stick and I just recently found the journal in one of my desk drawers. I did, however, manage to write three, uh...interesting....poems in that journal.

It's too bad that I didn't keep that up throughout the year, it would have been interesting to have a journal of poem inspired by the first year of college. I'm going to try to do that this year, and as a reminder and an act of ignition, I'm going to post the three "poems" I did write in the journal.


Poem #1 "Untitled"
It's time to organize the clutter
Make calm of the havoc
Understand the rambling words
Create magic

Like that song I can never remember
Poetic phrases keep returning
I keep forgetting the silly ones
and miss-quoting the good ones.

Poem #2 "Untitled"
The rumbling in my stomach was proof
Proof that one cannot live on carrots alone
I couldn't live on carrots alone, but that doesn't excuse what followed
I inhaled the refrigerator
I took no prisoners in the war against perishables
First I went for the peanut butter, then the lunch meats
Followed by several fruits and a large selection of cheese
I ended with a cup of tea on an uncomfortably full stomach.

Poem #3 "Untitled"
I use to be able to sleep, but not anymore
My eyes are sore
It's starting to pour.

A Relationship Built For Actors

I can’t tell you what it’s like, driving on these roads again
Like I’m stuck in rewind
Recognizing the foot prints I left behind
The taste of your kiss
The agony of my miss
It’s all coming back
I can’t hold this together all alone
Your eyes give me butterflies and your hugs bring me home
Every time I try to cut the cord,
I find myself searching for a remedy that I can never seem to afford
I use to think separation was the only answer
But now hearing your voice, doesn’t there seem like a worse kind of cancer
I’d be crazy to call you my first love
But it’s hard to categorize you, when you fit in none of the above
With you it’s always a confusing concoction
Humiliation, confidence, it’s all up for auction
Crumpled up letters
Decisions that could have been made better
Again I’m confused about your category
Because this does not seem like the regular story
So what are you? A reason to fight again?
A reason to write again?
Or a reminder that in this relationship built for actors
I am the only deciding factor

I'm Backkkk

Hello World,

I know, I know, it's been a LONG while...my absence was brought to you be a royally uninspiring summer.

However, inspiration has struck IN TWO WAYS:

Way #1
FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS!!!

OMG, THEY'RE LIKE AS TOTALLY FUN TO MAKE AS THEY ARE TO WEAR!
So get a group of girl (or guy) pals together with a selection of embroidery thread (you can find a great variety pack at Michael's for like $15) and go crazy! There are plenty of different fun and easy patterns and styles on line! Google Google Google!!


Way #2
THE NEW GORILLAZ ALBUM!!!

All I have to say about it is, they have totally reinvented their sound, and it's awesome....LISTEN TO IT.

kthanxbai

ah.

Why don't I live here??

WOOORD.

Hey Kids,

I started to write this post during math today, so forgive me if it seems a little outdated.

Sorry it;s been so long, but i've been trapped in a world of dull slide shows and mind numbing equations.

I'm actually in math right now. My teacher is just sitting there...I'd assume he was dead if it wasn't for the fact that he has been smacking his gum for the last five minutes. Don't get me wrong, I love my little old man teacher, but I can't understand him half the time and I miss a lot of instructions.

Anywho, for those of you who are wondering...I got all the classes I wanted for fall quarter :) I will be taking Intro to Film and Video Studies (FVS 2Something), Ethics and the 1st Amendment (COM 202) and Energy and Society ( Environmental Studies 310). I'm super excited about all my classes and the best part is I don't have classes on fridays! Not only is this an ideal schedule, but it's also a productive one! I'll be able to declare both of my majors (Communications Studies and Film and Video Studies w/ a Specialization in Production) by the end of fall quarter!

Okay, I am just days away from finals week so I must depart and hit the books...

PEACEOUT.
