1000 PAGEVIEWS!!

Greetings!

According to my graph of pageviews provided by blogger, I hit 1077 pageviews yesterday!!! WOOOT!
Don't you just wanna dance with me!!?!??!

Hilarious. I was so happy when I found this.... lmao.


So yeah. I've almost got 30 page views on Ni Hao, Xiong Mao. But I'm sorry for not posting anything this week. I am going to take a break for Christmas. I doubt that I will be able to get internet back up and running before I get back to school next year. So until we meet again, my sweet little blogger-er's....

I leave you with funny video. No poem. :(

But laugh with me!!! In harmnoy! ;D

Blessed Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

THE WAR IS OVER!!!

Greetings!


SOMEBODY SHOUT

FREEEEDDDOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!


Whew. That is great. That is just ....

I just finished my last final and let me tell you; it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I got myself all worked up last night over nothing. Well, it was other things too... But we won't go into that.  I was tripping, but now I'm not.

Oh, and I'm sorry for ignoring you for like three days straight. My apologies. Really. No really.

But blogging daily this week wouldn't have gotten me a


95 on my Spoken Chinese Exam today!


Yeah, buddy this is real life.


And now, I am free to do as I please. No more finals, no more homework, and no more classes. For .... well for a few weeks. But don't blow my high!

No more of this!

Things are great. This is a cool moment. ;)


Semester 4 completed.

Boring Day [From Wednesday]

Greetings.

I am sooo bored.

Finals part 1

Greetings.

It seems like every big movie comes in two parts now. I don't know when I'll be able to pull another blog post from my sparse time. But I dunno if I can manage a poem today. I will however be submitting some of  my work to the Creative License magazine. Yeah. It's cool.


Ugh. Full stomach. Dull mind....

Gotta go.

Night. :D

PHI THETA KAPPA

Greetings.

I'm very mellow right now. I'm excited at the same time. I know that sounds impossible.

General synopsis of my day:

6:30am: Ignored the alarm
6:45am: Continued to Ignore the alarm
7:00am: Woke up in a fluster and rushed around trying to get out the door quickly....
8:27am: Got to school with coffee and doughnut
8:37am: Printed my paper for World Lit [Dr. Kelley]
8:50am: Walked into class
8:57am: Found out the paper wasn't due until Tuesday via gracious extension of deadline!
10:15am: Class break. Coffee run.....
12:05pm: Walked into the office and signed in.
12:15-5:05pm: Workstudy... need I say more....
5:15pm: Rushed over to F building to get ready for Induction ceremony
5:45pm: Realized I was done too early with time to waste unitl Induction ceremony
5:56pm: Walked leisurely to library and returned books
5:58pm: Promptly sat down @ a computer to type this blog post. ;)


I'm being inducted tonight, in exactly 59 minutes, into Phi Theta Kappa which is an honors society with a chapter on my campus. Much to my amazement. I was so thrilled when I got the email that I was nominated! So exciting, right. It seems so much has dropped into my lap this semester. My mother would argue differently, saying I have worked hard. But I had no idea this was coming, nor was I aiming for it. It just happened. Oh, but I'm thankful!!

Miles and Miles

Stretch forth your ear,
right there, yes.
A mile then bridged,
a mile then reached.
Leap on and bound
into this speech.
Lay within time,
so stand on mortality
We do so daily, so
without we cannot fathom
due to present frailty.
Beknownst to One is the
measurement
And lone to none to capture,
a feat far too treacherous
for common beings to master.
Fret not you know-monogers,
a truth yet exists,
that ye shall soon fly to where
time is not missed.
Flown on for miles and miles,
a soul has yet to reach
Beyond a fairly far stretch
which to measure none can teach.
A bolder spirit may be cans't thou
coddle to reach such sacred a goal,
and bring to light which paths to take
that can seem dark as coal.
Miles and miles are what we can
for fault of human flaw
conveniently understand.
But have no doubt a longer span
is still yet unknown to man.




Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by a discussion I had to day in my last class for World Lit [tear] about Paradise Lost by John Milton. It stretched my already wide grasp of reality and I'm always greatful for that. It concerend alot of talk of time and how it is not relative or well... I forgot the exact words, but I know there are two types of  "forever" now. And well... yeah...

Closing/Future

In closing, I know it may be hard to understand. I do feel like I may have been rambling. But I wanted it to be good and long. I haven't written one in a while. In the future, like next week, is the last week of school and therefore last week of finals! And I am excyted!! Wish me the best.


God Bless. :D

Bleh

gReeTINgs....


ugh.
 my brain.
just gave up.

I'm sorry.

I'm still clinging to my 'It's finals' excuse....


Here... read this...

Petrarch relays pity as an emotion meant to be felt by the reader. In more than one instance, the speaker condemns himself by admitting his own sins. Another tactic we see that elicits pity is vivid diction to describe his sadness. Both methods are used here in this single quote: “For the varied style in which I weep and speak…vain hopes and vain sorrow”. He asks to be excused for his varied style, which we had no reason to assume is negative until he asks for forgiveness. He says that he weeps and speaks between vain sorrows and hopes. This just means he is weeping and speaking in the present. Hopes represent the future or something yet to be achieved. Sorrow represents the past; something that has already happened to create the feeling. Between the past and future is the present. The speaker feels that his past and future are ‘vain’ or useless. He feels that his past has been futile and his future is cemented, without alternative or purpose. This statement from the quote alone can cause the desired response of pity. Petrarch wants the reader to identify with the speaker’s deep sadness. The more blatant request for pity is “anyone who understands love from experience”. This changes the entire nature of the reader’s pity. No longer is it assumed he needs pity for a sin or wrongdoing.

Do you see my issue?


Goodnight. Sigh.

GRADE WARS: Revenge of the Finals

Greetings.

Perhaps it isn't so epic. But I still feel cool for having come up with the idea. You gotta say though, it's kinda boss.... I am in a rush.

But I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to blog like I did yesterday.



This was me when I got home....



'Tis

Shan't

Methinks

Fair thee well

That's all I have time for. If you can decipher that... I'll give you a cookie. 

Speaking of tasks: I think I may do a contest on here to see if I can get more people to view the blog. What do you guys think? 

Ciao!

Thanksgiving [no]Break

Greetings.

You can tell from the title where I'm going with this can't you? Tis the bond of blogger and avid follower. I did not get a real 'break' over Thanksgiving weekend. At least I didn't in the relaxing sense of the word.

I wrote three two page papers, worked my way through five lesson reviews for Chinese class and made my way [laboriously so] through 9 pages of 14 from Book 9 of Paradise Lost by John Milton. Perhaps I should have done that in bullet points...

Oh, well. You get the idea. I worked my butt off. I want a 4.0 this semester. And I can just taste it!

Good news though!

Right before the break, I got an offer to join Phi Theta Kappa, an honors society, and I finished the membership process. I'm going to be inducted on Dec. 2nd! Isn't that exciting!?

I have no clue what those Greek letters mean, but I do intend to find out! :D

I thought I had an Astronomy Test today, but it turns out it's on Wednesday. I was so relieved. But I played it off like I knew.

Overall, I'd say this day was pretty productive. I know where I need to go with this World Lit. paper because I visited Dr. Kelley again today. He never dissapoints. How could he when he cover every single topic you think you thought...

Yeah. Gonna leave that alone. He's a great professor though. Some of his students just don't get it... what they have access to... *shrug*. Their loss.

I am munching so loud on Doritos... I'm surprised that no one has popped up behind me and shushed me epically. But yes. I will now write a poem.


Sitting and Thinking

Methinks
there is much more to be said
Far more than what can be written
can be read
I'll wager
so much in fact it's quite the qualm
Closer to the eye than
yet to the palm
Ponder, do I
a larger meaning than can be explained
further from our minds than
what I originally
feigned...


Reason/Inspiration

I wrote this because sitting and thinking is something that I like to do. And today I discovered that someone I admire highly enjoys it also! Dr. K! So, this poem is inspired by him.

Closing/Future

In closing, my favorite thing to do when sitting is imagine. But thinking is the second favorite thing. In the future, I will most likely not be found sitting and thinking because there is far too much work to be done to ensure my 4.0, however I can be observed sitting and writing... or worrying... or chanting... or memorizing... or reciting.... or something else..... to do with studying.

>_<

Dunkin' Doughnuts & Coffee Skin

Greetings.

I had a great day. And you know me. I wouldn't say that flippantly. I got back to riding Marta, sad to say, but it let me go back to listening to my praise and worship music in the mornings. It really does set the tone for your day. I almost got knocked off my block about a defective toll box on that bus I had to take first. But still, things turned out for the better. I forgot about it.

And when I rolled up in the office to do workstudy, they had those Dunkin' Doughnuts! On deck! Yeah, no lie, I seriously like ate... like... four or five. No shame. I know I'll burn it all off just walking. And that's the truth. I had this pumpkin spice doughnut with light glaze... ohhh... just made my mouth water thinking bout it. A blueberry cake doughnut. And someother randoms, that I ate just because they were sitting there in the box.... calling my name.... like....staring at me man....

And I'm like

Just gotta have one more!!

But yeah. Thank God that sugar like that is not readily availible to me on a daily basis. Or else I would be a much more different person than I am today....

Like:



ATTTAAACKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



But  yes. After that wonderful sugar, I had to get right into work and organize my portfolio for Chinese class. Emphasis or organization... *cough* if you know what I  mean. You probably don't. But that 's okay. Lol...

I came back from class and I got into a very intruiging conversation with some fellow office peeps. It was really cool. It always gets me hyped up... at least on the inside anyways, to be around other intellectually developed peers. It makes me happy on the inside to think, "Hey, I'm not the only person who thinks this way!" It's really encouraging. You know.

We talked about how African Americans lack a sense of culture in the depth that many other cultures may have been priviledged to know. We talked about having sense of identity as a person with mixed background, recently in the bloodline. We discussed having been the kid with 'light skin' or 'good hair'. Of course the whole general definition of 'good hair' came up as well. It was just soo cool! You know it was like a really good moment where you feel like a college student. You  know what I mean? We're all flexing our intelligence and philosophical savvy and such! It's just cool to me.

I know. I'm strange. But guess what?

I like it.

:D

Reason/Inspiration

Listen. Then read this. It flowed to me. IDK. smh. Yǒushí, wǒ kěyǐ suíjī.....

Closing/Future

In closing, I'm looking forward to the Thanksgiving break because I'm about to attack these finals. Yes. Two weeks before, I'm gonna be on point with my knowledge. In the future, you can say hello to my little friend called 4.0. Yessir. 

:)

AEI and Great Monday

Greetings.

I was so priviledged to attend the Allen Entrepreneurial Leadership Camp Exposure on last week. Thursday through Saturday morning I followed an intensive schedule of seminars, workshops, and tours. And also, I was the main cast character in a skit we had to memorize for in under 24 hours. Yeah. I was boss. :D

Overall, the experience was just as they [my supervisor and her supervisor] said it would be. It was life changing. I now view how I should approach all business endeavors, entrepreneurial or not. I want to start dressing better, presenting myself as a more professional person overall. I hope to make that one of my goals for December. I want to keep up with my organized life, but take it to another level. Man, I was just so inspired!

And I still am!

But yes. Today:

Was not eventful, but I still had a great time. I was smiling from the moment I got there until I left out of Astronomy at 6:45pm. I just had a great positive energy all day. And for some reason I had the unction to pray randomly at a certain point today. Not in a frightening way, just like I felt a need for it. And I am glad I did. It felt good. I felt alive today. Full. Content.

I'm glad that I can honestly say I've felt content in my lifetime. Not a happy feeling, not joy. Not sadness or indifference. Just....

Contentment

Like AHHHHHHH..... after a cool glass of water.....

Or like not even needing the glass of water....

Yeah.

Marksmen

Make straight your arrow and let it fly
Piece together the weeping eye
And give it the moistness it had shed
 From having lost sight of what was said
Forlorn no more and free today
the lost marksmen of yesterday


Reason/Inspiration

I am inspired inadvertently from AEI. We are all marksmen in a sense. I know it seems strange. But we all have an aim in our lives, our education or careers. We may loose our target or miss our shot, but we'll get a chance again soon.


Closing/Future

In closing, the best experience of my year. I must say. AEI is an unbelievable self motivating tool. In the future, my billions of dollars will go to similar cause. ;)

LMBO

Greetings.

I am here in the library, cracking up beyond control, fearing the librarians at every turn because of my volume. But I don't care. I'm hanging out with my little brother today. Only one class. Life is sweet. But alas. Still so much to do.

But let it be known that today, right now, at 7:46pm, I am exceptionally happy. And hurting from laughing so hard. It's actually not painful! :D

Wow.

This older guy just came towards me and said,

"Excuse me, guys, but this is a quiet area. There are areas where what you're doing is absolutely fine...."

I can tell he was holding the comment in like last nights week old mexican food in his bowels. But still I couldn't really make myself care. The only reason I'm silent now is because I havne't found something frivolous to crack up about yet. Which I'm sure won't last long....

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LSHTMSFOAIDMT: laughing so hard that my sombrero falls off and I drop my taco....

If I had either of those things.

:D

Untitled

Roses are red

Closing/Future

In closing, I hope we don't get kicked out. In the future, I will laugh like this again.


Au Revoir

Well, well, well....

Quick short post, becaue I'm extremely bored right now and I do not want to go read what I should be reading. Ahem.

Hey! Look at this!

Bitter then Sweet

Greetings.

Today started off rather glum. I'll not go into detail, but I had a bit of a transportation scare. I thought I might be stranded at the bus station. But alas, what has passed has passed. It is the past. :D

I started having a great day after I recieved a letter from a good friend. It lifted my spirits. I was encouraged. Then I loosened up and started to really enjoy my day.

Later on in the afternoon, I had to take a surprise road trip to the Decatur campus with my supervisor.

It was a nice day. The clouds seemed to be ... well not brooding... but contemplating. I like the picture above, it is very similar to the real thing earlier today. It was just a quick run and drop off, but I really enjoyed getting out of the office. It seemed as if everyone was moving in slow motion. Or sick and coughing. Not just dry coughing. But that "I'm realllly sick", thick, watery, bark of a cough filled with mucous..... Ew.

Yeah. So I was glad to get out.

Then I escaped again to try out a Screenwriter's workshop they were having today at 4pm. Kahlia convinced me. And I'm glad she did. I really enjoyed myself with those like-minded people! It's nice to find someone who thinks like you. Then you can really assure yourself that you are sane.

Astronomy rocks. Aside from the ambling deadening drawling on of my foreign teacher's voice.... I really enjoy the material. I'm so glad I found a science that actually holds my interest. Or else, I wouldn't make it. I really wouldn't. But look at the stuff I get to see!!

SO !

poem time:

You and Me

Be still my eyes
and hold my heart
Make still my worry
And banish my woe
Stand beside me
And walk in my path
Side by side
We'll be the pair
For you are fair
In hindsight the best
that ever could be
is what had become
of you and me


Reason/Inspiration

My reason was just because. I don't know why. I was listening to ColdPlay with my brother. I think the X&Y album. But it was very spur of the moment. I'm just glad I'm getting this done TODAY!

Closing/Future

In closing, I'm glad this day started looking up. I think I've racked up enough down days if you ask me. I'm ready for things to start permanently looking up. And somebody told me that God still has me. And that good things are in store. I thank God for you. You know who you are. In the future, God will put a smile on my face.

Homecoming Night

Greetings.

I just had a great time at my Homecoming last night. I wore my ball gown. It was gold and cream. I wore flats. And that God I did. I didn't stress over my hair. And everything worked out great.

So:

I was supposed to arrive early to have a rehearsal with the rest of Homecoming court. I arrived right on time. 6:30. Or well... I was a little early but still. But we ended up not having it. Only two other queens came in the beginning. The third materialized around 'crowning time' along with my thought to be nonexistent king. The guy hasn't responded to any emails from SGA. He didn't show up for the parade on our campus, he didn't show up for the basketball game on Friday. Or rehearsal [which didn't take place, but still!]. It would have been nice to have some more support from my own campus though!

Shout out to all the Royal Court of 2011 that actually SHOWED UP!

The few songs they played that I actually liked, I couldn't really dance to [because of the dress]. And the other songs were too ghetto or I didn't even know them. Maybe it's because I don't really listen to the radio anymore. But anyways I didn't want to dance that much. I was distracted...

In other more fun news:

You know how you meet somebody really cool, who is not only attractive, but decent and sweet all wrapped up into one? And then you get all nervous and try to always say the right thing? And then you end up clicking and everything turns out fine in the end? No better than fine.... they turn out to be like butterflies in your stomach and your cheeks hurting from smiling so much....?


I live for those moments. And I will end on that lovely note. :3


Adieu

Are you MAD?

Greetings.

"To be or not to be..." is the question I have been scrutinizing closely for the past two and a half hours in World Literature. (Yes, that is the class with the mad-scientist of literary works!)

Apparently some people thought Hamlet was mad. Not angry mad, but like loopy  mad. Not that watching  you father die and your uncle marry your mother wouldn't make you angry-mad....

Not this:

But this:

Yeahhh. So. We talked in depth of this "madness" so to speak. And whether Hamlet was the "Shining" version of said madness.

It was interesting. To say the least...

Now. I must find a pair of shoes to wear for Coronation at the Masqurade Ball tommrow night! Ugh. I don't know why I waited this long. I'm somewhat ashamed. I only have  a few hours too,  because I was recently [very recently like three days ago] notified that I had to make an 'appearance' at the Basketball game on Decatur campus at 7pm tonight. So there goes a few more hours of my prep time. I'm not spazzing though. I'll be alright. I always get things worked out for the best and God helps me. So... yeah.

O. Happy Day. :D

Resolution

Once in

you cannot be out

Stand strong

Let well you be stout

in spirit and in will

let heaven know your fill

Once in

you cannot be out

make known that your mind

has not doubt

Reason/Inspiration

This was really inspired by a line in Hamlet, where he compared resolution to a bold hue like 'red' and thought to a pale sicklied film or residue. It's strange. We couldn't necessarily come to a unanimous conclusion. But I still liked the idea of resolution being bold and impassioned.

Closing/Future

In closing, I am off to get some work hours before I am scooped up by my parents to go shopping. Aren't I just moving on up, huh? [The previous question was asked in a sarcastic tone]. In the future, you can officially address me as Your Majesty. ;)

Zai Jian, Peng You

Oops I did it again....

Greetings.

Well, I almost did it anyways. I almost left the library without doing a blog post! And after all we've been through! I know. You could just scream. I KNOW. I really do.

But yeah.

Today was a very productive day in my eyes. I had a good laugh this morning when I logged on to msn and found this video:

I'm sure it has thousands of views by now, but this morning it only had four. It was sooo cute and funny. But yes. That started my day well. Then I was working in the office. Then I had to run off to lunch really fast before Chinese class. Which by the way is going to be over soon, and then I'm on my own. I mean really on my own. Remember what I told you about the final for that class?! Jeez, I'm praying. Anyways, after that I had and orientation for the Leadership Camp that I will be attending next week on Thursday through Saturday. I hope you can forgive me in advance  for missing those days. You know, since I gave you  a warning and everything!
Then, I got a letter in my email saying Congratulations I was selected to be an inductee of Phi Theta Kappa. And I'm like... whoa. I didn't know my grades were that good. That is great news! I was soooo psyched you just don't know. :D

So overall, a pretty great day. Topped off with free chinese food!! WHooo!!!

So yeah!!

November 10


If you laugh
I will sing
and together we can create a new symphony of
meaningful sound

Freedom in the slightest things
share your ability to drown
sins in favor

Welling up in the spring
due to us all
Good things come to those
who endure the fall

Reason/Inspiration

As it is entitled, I felt good today, so I incorporated that into this poem. It kind of embodies the range of emotions that I felt throughout the whole day. Just and overall inspired and uplifted attitude. Shout out to Friends! Aren't they the best?

Closing/Future

In closing, I am soooo glad that I remembered to post this!  I was this close to walking right out of the library without a second glance at those computers. I had just finished a 1000 word paper and I wasn't interested in typing anymore. But alas, a deal is a deal my friend. In the future... I'm going to have to figure out some kind of way to automatically remember to post daily!!!

School Daze

Greetings.

Today is a better day.

Thank you again, "anonymous". :D

But it's all just getting to be soooo much. School. Homecoming. Home. Coming home. Ugh.

Aside from all that. I am now 21!!

Ya girl is now legit!! WHOOO!

You'll be glad to know however, that there was none of this:

But there was lots of this:

I had only been to this rave once before. But you know from previous posts that I'm not a noob when it comes to raves ;) I had a great time. And I didn't drink myself silly. The first drink I got at exactly 12:10 am [had to wait for my wristband till 12am when it was officially my birthday] was a Sex On The Beach. Yum. It was sweet.



And after all of that I recovered quite easily after a quick snore on the ride back to Kahlia's house. Then I was good to go. On Monday I had to lead the Homecoming Parade on campus. I got all dressed up and stuff see:

That was a quick update,so here is the rest of my journal entry from Monday:

Yeah, 911. And I'm like ok.... not really that serious. Maybe it's freezing outside and the guy doesn't wanna wander out their aimlessly when he can crash in a warm coffee smelling shop with a Lazy Boy. Nearly seven minutes later, a short, stout caucasian female cop shows up. She comes up beside the sleeping homelss man and nudges his foot with hers. His eyes pop open and he starts at the sight of her.

"You have to leave," she said with authority.

She was kind of butch. But it could have been the uniform. The poor man reluctantly rises. He is escorted out by the female cop. The coffee shop is now teeming with morning customers.

Four laptoppers.

One ipadder.

Three newspaperers.

The shop is always 75% full after this point of sunlight, I have concluded. Did I mention that my birthday is tommrow? Well... it is...

A group of three Korean guys keep giving me the eye. Or mabye they can feel me giving them the eye. Another laptopper just popped up. It seems as if there is an invisible line seperating the black customers from the white. We three are all within seven feet of each other on one side. Oh wait. Nevermind. I sopt a brown rogue on the other side of the majority. Another ipadder. I could make this all about my specific observations of the comings and goings of Starbucks. But I won't. This time is for me. I will leave soon to trek around the midtown area and wast time until 1:00pm. That is a long time. 7-1pm....

Or maybe it just seems so. At 10:00am I wll break from this scene and explore.

So how did you like it? Cool huh?

Poem time.

November 2011

She will stay afloat

you just wait and see

you scoudrels, you villians

And in all her floundering

she may shout, oh sure

but she will remain

in the same spot

of mind that she came in

only heightened.

This poem clearly describes the month of November in this year.... for me. It's rough ya'll. But it's for the best and it will get better.

A few main point and I'm done for today:

• I don't have much time
• Yes, this title means what you think it means
• I haven't forgotten about the 'to be continued' bit from yesterday.
• I hope you can forgive me for 4  missing poems in a row.
• November may very well be poemless...

God Bless.


P.S. pray for me.

"CRISI, you got some 'splainin to do!"

I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I have broken my promise.
I have been faulty in keeping our agreement.
I beg for your forgiveness and grovel at your feet!

I know I missed the last two blogs for Thrusday and Friday of last week. But you have no idea how busy I was!! First, I had to take care of some weird conspiracy theory about my campaign. Then I had to run around carrying a gajillion bags to spend the night over a friend's house. She was cool about it though [all the bags that is]. Then I wasn't able to get on the internet and post over the weekend cuz I was tooo busy celebrating by

Birthday!

Here's the sitch:

I wrote a journal entry on paper to type here. See, I didn't forget all about you after all!

November 5th, 2011

So, I'm sitting here at 6:20am in a Starbucks in Midtown Atlanta. It's Saturday. Tommorow is my birhday. Kahlia, my best friend, has "abandoned" me here because she has a 7:00am shift at her job [a place called Doguroo]. The sun is not up yet. The sky is an impenetrable blanket of charcoal blue. I forgot you can't see the stars downtown because of the smog.You know how lazy the sun gets in the winter. I'm apparently the third person in the shop. The other two are older/elderly white guys who are intent only on their coffee and newspaper. I order a veggie monterey jack free range egg white breakfast sandwhich and a bottle of 'Naked' fruit smoothie [mighty mango flavored]. The bill comes up to $7.32. But I just got paid yesterday. A homeless man just came in and greeted me before setting down in a LazyBoy adjecent to my table and promptly fell asleep. I feel like following suit. I'm absolutely exhausted. We went to sleep the night before at 2am or so and we woke up at 5:30am. I could hardly sleep because of the stinking cat that kept shifting at the foot of our bed. So I can literally feel my eyelids trying to slide closed when I stop writing. More people are starting come in. A pair of girls.  A few runners. The sun begins to creep up slowly, turning the navy blue sky into deep cerulean and pale yellow. Then peach and blue. Edges of pink dance around the clouds along the skyline. I have a table facing the window. It's a bit chilly here by the window, but I like t he spot. I have to buy some coffee, I decide. Or I will end up like the homless man: slouched and sighing in the nearby LazyBoy. I rise and return to the counter, greeted by a new, male, fairly handsome clerk. I order a bold tall coffee for $1.62. Nice. We [the clerk and I] joke about how we are both still waking up. I return to my table. The sun is further up, and the whole sky is baby blue and streaked gray now. I notice that the buses on the street are passing at a much faster rate per hour than near my house. SMH. I sip the coffee only five times and I can tell my eyes are getting wider by the milisecond. I only added two packet of raw sugar... but "bold" will do that to you I suppose.

One of the clerks is trying to wake up the homeless man by calling to him less than a foot away. She refuses to get closer.

"Sir? Excuse me, sir!?" she says.

The man is unresponsive, neither shuffling or opening his eyes. She returns to the counter and I over hear her confiding to her cowoker that she is calling 911.

I lost the composition notebook that I was pulling this from. Kahlia took it back home. :(

So this will be

omg.... i can't believe it!!!

 I AM CLARKSTON CAMPUS' HOMECOMING QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! I WON!!!!!

Okay. Whew. I'm alright. I just had another mini break down about the fact that I actually WON!

It's so crazy because I knew I would, I'm just still blown away by it.

So here's the story:

I got to school kinda early, around 8:30am or so, and went straight to the office to check my email. One day is considered later in the week, right? Right. That's what I'm thinking. So I check, and there's nothing. Zero. So, I sigh and go to heat up my breakfast in the microwave [strawberries and cream oatmeal]. Then I walked over to F building for Acting 2.

SO...

Right after we presented our monologues, smack dab in the middle of our feedback time, I get a call from my friend Tatiana in the middle of class! And I'm like.... wha?! Girl, I am in class, you know this. I will hit you back later. Because she knows how I am. School first!! We all stay focused. But then she calls me again! And I'm like... man.... maybe I should take this one. But then the call stops and I'm like ok, maybe not that ergent?

But

Then I get a text message from her. And I'm like bending over the side of my chair trying to peek at my phone to see it. I open it and I see it says

gurl, you WON!!



And then I start freaking out on the inside! At first I automatically assumed that I had won homecoming queen. But then I started to second guess myself and say "well maybe I won something else". Typical me. Can I not be worthy of the crown?! And then I laughed at myself because what else would she text me for in the middle of class to tell me!??  And then I just let the excitement splatter out and I told everyone in my Acting 2 class. They clapped and congratulated and that hasn't stopped all day.

I'm so happy. You just don't understand!

Sigh. [of contentment].

In other, less important, news:

I think I did well on my Astronomy Test today. I did a last minute cram just to be safe, even though I'd been studying already. It was just as I'd suspected; all the test questions were just mixed up online quiz questions. *shrug* Go figure.

I didn't have to turn in my Paper for Acting today, turns out it was due next Wednesday. At least I'm ready. That's whats important.

I got treated to lunch today by my best friend Kahlia. I have the best friends ever.

I looked like a bum today. I have to dress better tommrow, you know, being a College Monarch and all...


Busy Busy Bumble Bee

I see you, you see me
a busy busy bumble bee
All about, work's in need
got to give all my heed
Hop to one task and fro
across the campus and land I go
A breath so precious can't be stole
Perfection and Success is my goal
And surely in due time I shall reach
what all my professors long to teach
That lovely castle in the sky
Busy busy bumble bee must FLY!


Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by my friend Tatiana [agian] to write this when she just talked about her immense workload. I feel her pain. So much to do, so little time. We are all just busy bumble bees, a dozen for a dime!!

Closing/Future

In closing, thank you to my readers. I know more than three read my blog. So please subscribe!! I'm going to really start coming after your subscriptions, especially now that the semester is winding down. I want more subs!! In the future, I shall be crowned and we shall all eat cake and celebrate!!!!!!!!! ;D


Adieu

COUNTDOWN BEGINS

FIVE DAYS LEFT UNTIL MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!

NOVMEBER 6TH!!!!!

Justin Timberlake or Mystery Man

Greetings.

They didn't announce who won Homecoming Queen today. :(

But hold that head back up because they said it should be posted in our emails by the end of the week. I know. You had your fingers crossed. And it's hard to do thingS with your fingers crossed... like eat... and write...

But yeah!

    I just read the October 2011 Esquire article on Justin, and I must say, it makes me view him in a new light. Not that I had been anylyzing the heck out of JT or anything, but I just saw him the way media presented him. A sexy, hot, talented guy. However, in the past, I remember telling myself that when I become famous [because even if I didn't fully intend to, it would be a consequence of my utter awesomeness] I won't 'judge' my fellow stars when we sat down for coffee at Starbucks. I'd see them as the person that I'd want them to see me as. It's strange to think like that, but it's nice to hope. *shrug*

  And of course, because it's hard to get a hold of my imagination once it's been unleashed, I started thinking about how warm JT would be to me. Becuase I would treat him like he wanted to be treated. Like a human being and not a walking piece of sexiness. I can also see, though, myself wittily complementing him on still posessing that boyish charm without making him think that I had a shrine built to him in my closet like Helga from 'Hey Arnold'.

As she slightly rolls her shoulders, grooving to Telephone by Lady GaGa and Beyonce, she suddenly remembers that she has a paper due tommorow at 9am on Respect for the Actor by Uta Hagen. Sigh.

Oh, yeah. I had a weird dream last night about a sexy mystery guy [ the details of which I shall not reveal because it's a bit more than rated PG 13!]

Then today as I was rush-drafting this essay due tommorow I had a recurring daydream about the same guy! Right then at that very moment while I was in the library staring out at the striking blue sky. .....

Do you wanna know a secret?

It's not a mystery guy. I know exactly who it is. I saw his face.

But I'm not telling you who it was!! HA!


Untitled

There's just some insatiable
strange need
that seems irreversible
I'll have to identify it
before I can beg for it
And when I make sense of it
will you produce more of it?



Reason/Inspiration

Because that's what I felt like writing. And it's untitled for a reason. lol.... Leave a comment, please. I'd love to see how this is interpreted...!

Closing/Future

In closing, I hope no one thinks me brash or dense or full of myself for what I said about one day being famous. I want you to know that I'm not like that. I am however, the type of person who like to frame her world in positivity. If I want something, I'm going to confess that it will happen. And I will be famous. And I will win Homecoming Queen for Clarkston Campus of GPC. :) In the future, [aka later on this week] you can then address me as Your Majesty!

Cross Your FINGERS!

Greetings.

It's been a mediocre morning. Don't get me wrong. I am glad to be alive today, thank God, I am alive and well. Still, it's just so-so. Only two people showed up for my favorite class thing morning, Acting 2 w/Colin, and I was one of the two. Sigh. What is the world coming to, when young students can't take acting seriously. It's not cool, man.

My phone is beyond dead. My paycheck from a week or so ago, just evaporated into thin air. Or into nothing. Not even air.

Am I moaning and complaining? OH, I'm sorry, I don't mean to. Gah, if only something great would just happen.

OH, I know!!!

Today I'm going to win Homecoming Queen!!! WHOOOOOO!!!

Cross your fingers!

I'm sorry for not posting on Friday. I was so bored beyond reason, I really don't know why I didn't just do like 3 blog posts. Idk, man. But yeah, my bad.

HUNGRY.....!


Boring.

Take the cake, this moment
takes the cake
Straight from the bakers tray
And absolutely right away
is the most boring moment
eligible for cruel torment



Reason/Inspiration
This is most likely what I would have written on Friday, had I remembered to post. My apologies, once more.


With blue finger Nails

I could never love a girl with blue finger nails
never without a chain of mail
like the knights of old
so brave and so bold
as to court a woman like she
A simpleton fool man like me
No chance whatsoever, I say
so long as I keep  my sights away
She'll not bore into me with those eyes
her earnest, eager spies
My heart may leap to know inside
that her lips are not so harsh to bide
razors as they say
I could be gobbled up in a day
or less no doubt, and with unfailing vigor
Her protective force field could not be any bigger
To deflect nincompoop men such and I
To discourage them from so much as a try
This woman I could never love, no
With blue finger nails, of whose origins
I'll never know.


Reason/Inspiration

My finger nails are blue today. Kind of anyway, with an opalescent overcoat. I guess I got a bit carried away. *shrug* What do you think?


Closing/Future

In closing, I am starving. In the future, you can address me as Your Majesty. ;)

iHOP. uHOP. weHOP.

Greetings.

Today was a reallllly great day. I had alot of fun, and simultaneoulsy felt like I was getting something done!

After my first class of the day, Acting 2, I went to the Drama club meeting. We had a Zombie make-up workshop. The Prez and Danny Zuko from our campus' Grease, helped us learn how to use tissue paper and spirit gum to make scars and wounds. Yuck. The VPrez helped us make fake blood from peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and red food dye. Double yuck.

Ours looked alot better... -_-

Zombeh!!

Alright, so after that, I was voted [or chosen whatever] to be choreographer of the Thriller Flash Mob that we're having on Monday [actual day of Holloween] so, we were going to have dance practice. No one showed up.... sigh. Except three people. So, I decided to make a video, after going to Student Life and reserving the use of the huge rolling speakers to use in the quad .... *deep breath* wow that was a lot.


Okay, so I decided to take off work today so to work on that World Lit paper that I'm determined to get an A on. So, I called in. All gravy, right? Right.

Then, I went to Ihop for lunch/breakfast with bestie Kahlia, which was oh, so delishimo, and fun. It was a nice change from our chinese place. A bit more expensive, but not an arm AND a leg. So, I'm stuffed, right? Right.

Then, I head back to campus and start typing on that paper in the Library. Thennnnnn, I had Astronomy at 5:30. We did a tedious group project, but it was too fun cuz I had hilarous clowns for partners. [smart clowns though]. ;)

Then, I got on outta there to the Library where I currently am to start this blogpost and simultaneously upload the Thriller Flash Mob video, and start the final edit of this World Lit. PAPER!!! *exhale*

AND HOW COULD I FORGET:

My friend Tati made me picture on facebook for my campaign for homcoming queen!!

I almost cried!!! She's the best, really. I have the best friends.

They are awesome! [me on far right!] :D

And that was my day!!!!!!!!!!!!


Gimme a moment.

Okay. Back to optimal operating status. :)

the bay

Mindlessly sifting through yesterdays
A foolish vent from the eyes of bays
filled with the liquor of askew ways
drinking of such can open
your soul of which is sunken
deep and in an unfathomable
depth of incompatable
properties
but with liberties
one can abide by the river
instead of the bay
lead by the sun during day
a hope in the heart, in the way
move it aside to reveal the sway
that true knowledge can hold
truth in knowledge can be bold
And is
Let it stand
in your hand
is the key
To the free
you ought to be.



Reason/Inspiration

This is my favorite song of all time by her. Seriously.

 

Closing/Future

In closing, I pray for many more days like this. And better. I feel accomplished, relaxed, and motivated all at once. I feel like dancing an entire ballet and singing an entire opera, and conducting an entire symphony, while writing the next bestselling novel in America. It's a great high. You all should be avid listeners of Janelle Monae. She will inspire you. In the future, I will disover who I am, so that I can inspire others to discover themselves.

God Bless.
