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. ;)

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.

Feel the Burns

Greetings.

Okay. SO I know I said that from now on the posts would be upbeat and jolly [implicitly I said that...] but I got a qualm. Don't you just hate it when you set personal goals for yourself or boundaries or what have you, and then you just... up and .... break them...miss them... epically fail?

Yes. I, too, hate that. I despise that. Make me wanna scream in frustration. Ugh. Or just plain... give up.

But no worries. You loyal blogger is not going to throw in the towel. Not now... Not later. I got this. See:



Yup. I'm gonna be alright.

In less stressing news:

I have finished the rest of this weeks Astronomy Quizes. Thank goodness. I am getting a start on revising my first draft of my second World Lit paper. I want that A  sooooo bad. Oh sooo bad. I want IT! So I'm workiong my butt off to get it. Plus I got to start thinking about my Chinese final. We're talking a 50 character essay about me  of all things and a verbal exam with a native speaker.....

ARE     YOU    SERIOUS....


Sigh. But no fear. Genius Christyn is here. And I'm going to pass that exam. More than pass it. I'm gonna stomp it's face and say CHEYA BOI YOU BETTA LET ME PASS!

lol...

Well I gotta get the heck outta here and finish this essay and memorize my contemporary monologue for tommorow sooo.... here:



Untitled

You take it here
or you can take it there
So long and you always
know where
it goes and when you see
how it should be
make sure we
are together

Reason/Inspiration

No reason. You are my inspiration! :D

Closing/Future

In closing, I want you to wish me well on this monologue and the fact that this semester... though post finals... is far from over. Please pray for me. I have a lot on my plate. And ohhh yeah. I can feel the burn. In the future, I'm going to be physically and mentally fit!! WHOOO!

Zai Jian, Peng You

No case of the Mondays

Greetings.

This week started off great. I got excused from presenting my monologue. I already picked a contemporary one. I got my workstudy hours in. But I know how much I wanted to be a blogger, and keep with it, but I'm really starting to feel the weight of it.

PSYCH! lol.

I love blogging. It's like a public cyber diary! Ha! But anyway, like I said I'm loving this week. Some irritating moment this morning, but those rough patches are through. Nothing but blue skies and smooth sailing now!

Wait. What am I talking about? It's Final season.

Argh. Never mind.

But guess what, I'm still going to kick academic butt. And make the Dean's List, AGAIN! cheya boi.

Guess what my new favorite thing to order at my chinese place is....

CHINESE DOUGHNUTS!!!

They are soooooo yummy! But they come in like a dozen so I have to seriously beware... or else I will have to restart that IE blog to loose weight!!! No, but i've been doing really good with my weight recently. And eating habits.

So, thank goodness there won't be anymore of those sad and gloomy posts from here on [hopefully] so that I can keep my views stats going UP! and my confidence!!!!

 ;D

Chrissie Up up and away

Happy days ain't going no where
l'll never let them go
I'm good for a dare
We're here to stay
Me and my confidence
You can be on your way
Ain't stunting you anyway
So whateva



Reason/Inspiration

It's clear my inspiration came from Kid again, love you man! And my reason is to keep this blog alive and going with happy poems. Poetry ain't just love and tears. It's motivation and fuel for tommorow!!!


Closing/Future

In closing, Kid is really a genius. You can tell I like him becuase I've made a post about him before I think you can find it here. But yeah. In the future I'm gonna be known for the genius and queen that I am when I win HOMECOMING QUEEN! WHOOO!


Cheya boi. ;)

Happy Friday Indeed!

Greetings.

I am super happy right now. This day is only going to get better, and it's been great so far! I love [this] Friday!

So, I had to wake up (literally) before the crack of dawn to get to the campus early to study for the test. AND I DID! I am so proud that I woke up! Oh and that I finished my draft which was due today! WHoo. And I know for a fact that I ACED that test today in Dr. Kelley's World Lit class. I'm so psyched! Then, I got some free Chick-Fil-A hash browns. Go figure! :D

I'm just so excited because this is a great day! And if you've been following me for a while, you know that this is definitely a diamond in the rough!!

This is the song of the day!!! Whoo!


Your Way

Cause it's like I say
On your way
Is sunlight
even at midnight
when creeping things
and moonlit swings
creak, it's scary
but you'll be merry
Cause it's like I say
on your way
is sunlight


Reason/Inspiration

It feels like finally the weather is looking up. The sunlight is past piercing through those gray clouds, they have obliterated them and freed the wide big blue sky above. And it just makes me sigh with happiness everytime I look up in the morning.

Closing/Future

In closing, yesterday it was so cold it made me say,

"It smells like Michigan..."

And that means... IT WAS COLD. :P

In the future, those blue skies better stay no matter  how brisk it gets! I don't care if it starts snowing! I want blue snow clouds!!!

Bye!!!

Snatchies!

I just stole this from Tatiana's Blog!   -_-  lol!

LOL.

WORK, WORK, WORK!

Greetings.

Have you ever seen 'The Wiz'? You know the remake of the Wizard of OZ but with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson? Well, the wicked witch of the west... er east... or which ever one didn't die from house attack, was a serious piece of work. Right now I feel like I'm in her sweat shop.

And man is she uuuuuugly. O_O

Anyways. I have done so much work today, just from workstudy and my job is still not even half finished yet. So much homework, so many things to read, to write! But I'm in it for the long haul and I'm not giving up.

Shout out to my friends Tatiana and Kahlia! They keep me going, thank you guys! er girls!!!



We are three peas in a pod! ;D




Sweatshop class

And the blood pumps on and the feet swing fast
Tweak that adrenaline, make it last
This isn't the sprint, it's the cross country
Growing faster than the an empress tree
The task ain't ever done
This work has just begun.

Reason/Inspiration

My inspiration for this piece should be obvious! But if it isn't, I have a huge 'wideload' of homework to do. And it's all tumbling towards me in the shape of a big hunkering deadline!

Closing/Future

In closing, I am feeling much better about the campaign. Continue supporting MC [Munir and Christyn] for Homecoming King and Queen! We need your votes! In the future, I shall wear the crown!!!! Muahahahahahah!

Ciao

CAMPAINGING LIKE MAD! [studying like mad]

Greetings.

OMG I'M SO PSYCHED THAT I'M RUNNING FOR HOMECOMING QUEEN AND THAT I HAVE THE MOST 'AWESOMEST' RUNNING MATE (MUNIR LIMAY) AND THE BESTEST SUPPORTIVEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!

The Crown Shall be Mine!

(and yes the all caps means that I'm yelling. metaphorically...)

I have a lot of work to do folks, you know, midterms and all. So, please excuse these 'malnourished' posts. I know you're accustomed to being spoiled by my floetic pen [er cursor] on a daily basis. But when the midterm rush is over, then the Finals rush begins. So don't expect too many long posts  until winter break. :{

I'm just sayin'.


edUcation

Floating in and out of now
past the in's and out's of how
I got here to begin with
A mind full of question marks
and body full of random sparks
of inspiration
Don't flount that focused stare
you know what hides behind there
An indecisive mind
and a rare find
Like
genious.


Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by the state of my 'midterm rush' mind. I am under so much pressure right now you just wouldn't believe! I'm telling you... but yeah. I'm still a genius. [by the grace of God!]

Closing/Future

In closing, pray for me so that I will get this draft done before Friday. And so that I can find a comedic contemporary monologue for Acting 2, and so that I can.... live to see this weekend! In the future, I will be a multitasking guru!

Hyah! :D

New Stuff

Greetings.

Inspiration blockade. It's called life.

Getting There

Greetings.

And darn these darned nails!

It's so blasted difficult to type that this post will be brief. I call myself being fancy for homecoming campaign week. Bleh. So I left them long. Forget that, tonight I'm cutting these suckers down!

They're really long! Agh!

But yes. I had a great day. Not bad for the start of my campaign, if I do say so myself. And much better emotion wise too! :D All smiles!

Mare

she holds it back
that wretched sneer
with beauty in lack
but glowing leer
seek not lest ye swoon
the dark untouched side of the moon


Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by my Astromony quiz that is due in 3 hours at Midnight. It is on the Moon and Mercury. :D

Closing/Future

In closing, I must retake this quiz to get a better grade asap. In the future I will bring snacks into the library. I don't care if it says no food allowed!!! And also

CONGRATULATE ME ON MY 50TH BLOG POST! YAY FOR 'BOLD AS LOVE'!!!!

TA.

My Own Hands [and the hands of friends]

Greetings.

Something just wants to see me down! It's like from the moment I woke up this morning, I couldn't make myself smile. But then I made a decision at the bus stop that I wouldn't let this depression win. I was going to be happy. Even if it wasn't genuine at first. I am in Acting 2, after all!

With the help of a great friend [Kahlia] I took my happiness into my own hands. Who needs sunny skies!

SCREW YOU CLOUDS! I'M GONNA SMILE ANYWAY!

I am going to watch this video now. So I can laugh. And I suggest you do the same. Come let us laugh in harmony together. :D

It's great isn't it? I know.


SMILE

The joy of the Lord is within me
The joy of the Lord is within me
Rejoice
O
my soul does
Rejoice
O
my soul does
The joy of the Lord is within me


Reason/Inspiration

The Lord gave me this song this morning as I stood at the bus stop and declared: I WILL BE HAPPY TODAY!

Closing/Future

In closing, Jesus is wonderful. You should meet him. In the future, I will have joy from the moment I open my eyes in the morning.


God Bless!

Tough as Nails

Greetings.

Today was a rough day. I mean, it seemed as if everyone was down for some reason. Or stressed. Or ticked. And even though I could ignore the gray clouds yesterday, today they dominated the atmosphere. My friends were a pick-me-up as always. But there was always something. Creeping. In the back of my mind. Some nagging gnats, some pesky pests and such.

But thank God, I am resilient. And I am tough. Tough as nails.



I'm standing tall in the face of the enemy. :D

But heaven knows it gets hard sometimes. I know that the best is always yet to come. And I will keep on going. I will not be weary in well doing. I will be happy to know that my good deeds will not go unnoticed. Not because of the deed, but because of the condition of my heart as I did them.

Whoo! I feel better already!

Middle of a Mountain

You may feel stuck

But the overview

says different.

Reason/Inspiration

My reason comes from my new self-imposed take on life through Jesus encouarging my heart and me looking on the continuously growing brightside.  WHooo!

Closing/Future

In closing, I want to say that God is good, great. And even though right now I'm just a child, I'm never going to stop getting closer to Him. In the future, I will know God for myself. And He will call me friend.

Au Revoir

Can You Believe It?

Greetings.

I was really blessed last night during the broadcast from my our mother church in Michigan. Impact Ministries [previously Great Faith Ministries] is where I was born and raised. I grew up on Christ and I still hold the belief that it was for the best, and still is. I was encouraged to seek Jesus in a new way; a new light.

Jesus rose from the dead right? He's a real human being, flesh and blood. His deciples touched his nail scarred hands and feet and then he ascended into heaven. But we can still see him. We can still speak to him. And I'm so glad that I got that revelation last night. Jesus is someone with a preference and a personality, a face. I want to see that face, Jesus' face. And not just to say that I did. I want to know him, shake his hand, hug him.

To some people, this is too radical to believe or consider. I cannot lie that this is not something I would have pursued on my own without being prompted. I don't want this to be something fleetings either. I want it to be lifelong and built upon. I want it to grow greater more and more.

As you can tell although the forcast for today in my area is rather gray [high: 68, low:63 cloudy with rain] I am in a great mood. Let's thank God in advance for letting it last all day. :D


Seeker pt. 2

In with new fervor
A new pace
I chase your favor
I seek  your grace
Your helping embrace
Your tender face
Guide me in right stride
Lead me to your side
So that I can be
with you
And you with me
Oh, Lord.




Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by my wonderful time at church last night. And I was also listening to my Desperation Band radio station on pandora when I wrote this. Didn't take very long though. You should check them out. They rock for Jesus. :D

Closing/Future

In closing, I want to know your feedback, ideas and thoughts on today's post. Don't hold back. Let me know what's up. In the future, Jesus will be my main goal. Even on top of school. So when you hear me mention him, you know I'm just seeking his face. I'll let you know when I see him, too. Zenmeyang?

Shut Up... Please. [Put down that Chocolate]

Greetings.

Today is a better day. I told you better days were ahead, my dears. But I have a peev that has been 'peeving' me. As I work in the office there are those [older folks]  who find issue with every things that does not accomodate them. In this strange and unfamiliar world of 'going back to school' they are so shaken by the fact that they, for once, do not  hold the primary authority. They have to seek help, even, for understanding material. Even from younger peoples. *scoff* The nerve.

General Point: We all have things that bother us [hence this post] but it gets annoying to listen to.

Minor Point:

I feel really good today. I feel cute. Did my hair last night. I kind of feel like this:

Long Distance

Only in a day
let breezes lift
and fall
through them
on a whim
heart beats throb
and eyes grope like
hungry tendrils
searching a newfoundland
surface or crevice or angle
with soft tangles
in their words
and demeanor
so subtle in mouth
so obvious in sound
a flutter of a lid
and the fold of an arm
round another
Only in a day


Reason/Inspiration

This poem came out of several stations on my pandora, which had an air about them of whimsical love and carelessness. This is what came out. Hope you like it.

Closing/Future

In closing, I am going to stop eating this brownie. And in the future, I will not even look at chocolate again......



Bai bai.

Say "Don't cry Christyn..."

Greetings.

Better days ahead.

Sunlit Mind

Sometimes I have to imagine
my mind like a sunlit room
instead of a drafty
crevice on the edge of
desolation
I've tarried in this moment
much too long
And my cool head can
get brain freeze
frozen so hard
past 0Kelvin
the cracks like deep
serrated wounds
reaching down to my
stem....
that can branch out through
my arms and legs
deep in my core
It hurts
And the ice is so cold
I can't  cry
But
in the
soft
sunlight
coming through
the windows
of my eyes
my soul
will
thaw






Adieu.

Drama Club - Drama [free] Life

Greetings.

Today drama club had it's second run of mock 'auditions' for those who plan to do cattle call statewide auditions at the end of the month at a confrence called GTC (Georgia Theatre Conference). These people have been preparing 90 seconds worth of material, monologue and song, to present at this event. GTC is like a test to see if you can pass through to SETC (Southeastern Theatre Conference). Through SETC you can find job opportunities and internships as an actor/actress or technician.

So like I was saying.

Drama club had their mock audtions. There were only four auditionees. And from their performances I have created the list of

TEN THINGS YOU NEVER DO IN AN AUDITION:

1. Be late.
2. Dress like a slob.
3. Not prepare you music.
4. Sing off pitch.
5. Forget the words to your song [or not know them to begin with].
6. Forget your monologue [see rule 5].
7. Wear too high heels... and then dance.
8. Wear skirts higher than your knees [a personal request from the judges].
9. Be shy.
10. [NEVER] make excuses. Just say thank you.

Yeah, so you can imagine the scenarios from which these rules sprung. Yup, let that thought process just ruminate. ;)

The Four Papayas

don't mince words

with them

ain't no cool jam

unknown

make a sound heard

to them

aint' no pool unswam

voluptuous and fair

swaying hips

lucious hair

Papaya ways ain't

common no

Papaya days just

started yo.

Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by my new group of friends @ school. Ivy, Kahlia, Tatiana. You guys rock. We are the four Papayas!!! I'm a nerd. :D

Closing/Future

In closing, I am going to stop the post now (Kahlia) lol. And in the future I will not be eating any more chocolate thanks to Ivy!!!

Freedom in Seeking His Face

Greetings.

So today I did something that past-me might have thought rash. I discontinued my Work study position at the dance studio. Yeah, I know. I did it this morning when I woke up. I was just so tired, and guess what?

The bus fare has gone up and the fare for day/week/month passes has gone up exponentially. I just can't spend that money to get all the way out there and I haven't even been using the classes that I've been working for! It may suck later, but right now... I'm on cloud nine, babe. Instead of having to wake up every day at 7, now I can sleep in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Nice.

I'm loving it. Really. It's like a huge load off my back, a big relief. Laying down my burdens. Okay, enough of that.

I was going to show a funny video of some students commiting broadway anarchy in class during a test .... it was hilariously funny. But I didn't send myself the link properly.

wait a minute...

I FOUND IT!
(click below)

http://gags.net/flash-mob/engineering-students-starts-singing-video_424f4a4c9.html

You must watch this and laugh hilariously as I did.

Now, I am celebrating the 10 days of awe which fall precisely between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. For more information on these days and what they mean you can visit these links below:

http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday2.htm

http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday4.htm

The questions seething within your carnal brain now are "What? Aren't those Jewish holidays? Are you becoming a jew? Are you switching to Judaism?"

The answers are no. I don't have to be a jew to be on God's time. And in all honesty: that is where we all really want to be. Whether we know it or not.

I just heard this song on my pandora as I am typing this and I felt like sharing it. Hopefully it will touch your heart and soul the way it did mine.

Seeker

In all my searching I will seek You
This heart has ached
These eyes have wept
But to behold Your face
my sould shall be swept
Cleanliness anew
grant me from You
Alas, my flesh will be gone
and my senses whither
But anon will I be one
with You


Reason/Inspiration

I was inspired by the message I heard last night from the Apostle who spoke at my church in Michigan. I was truly blessed from what I gleaned as I walked in from school last night. I will seek God [main theme] and from that will come all I could ever want or need.

Closing/Future

In closing, I hope I offended no one today, but "spoke the truth in love" as my Bishop-Elect says. In the future, I will become God's friend, so that I can be worthy of his love. And I will break my fast! Whooo Hooo! :D


God BlessYou All.

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT ;)

Greetings.

Last Friday night was a girls night out! Me, Tatiana and Kahlia had ourselves a ball.


Minus the alcohol... ahem.

 First of all, I was feeling so guilty for having to work during the time they wanted to hang out. A full five hours. Argh.

But not to worry.
We had the time of our lives just being in each other's company!
They are so funny and cool to be around. I'm so happy I found some friends with like minds.

So yeah, we just chatted as they kindly so kindly waited for me to finish my shift at my workstudy. Then we were free! At 5pm. Then we set off into the evening for Tatiana's house. Kahlia won the coin toss [Tatiana claims it was rigged] for me to ride in her car. (I feel so loved!) But we stayed in touch with the wonderful technology of SPEAKERPHONE! HAHA. :D

So through speaker phone most of the time, we made our way to the highway. Then when we hung up, that's when we [Kahlia and I] got lost! Urgh. I'm just realizing. We belong together! lol. So we ended up at the wrong CVS which was supposed to be our meet up point. But don't despair readers, we weren't far off course. I was blasting my Glee Soundtrack on my Mp3 player, Kahlia is now a fan of Gweneth Paltrow as the bad girl singing

MY FAVE!

Then we made it to Tatiana's house. It was gorgeous! Loved it. It made me start thinking of what I want my house to look like when I move out. [soon]. We got a quick tour and met her aunt and uncle [cool peeps!] and then we carpooled outta there!

We went to the Mix which was a frozen yogurt joint with flashing neon lights. I can't do the lactose [as you all know from my Cheese Boycott post. Yeahhh.... so next subject! :D

We had so much fun listening to oldies but goodies like "It feels good!" and I was jamming! We started doing an [unplanned and unchoreographed] dance routine sitting on the chairs side by side. I can't wait until the video surfaces! That's right, the store clerk took out her iPod and started taping us doing that dance! It was awesome! And I don't even remember what we did!!

So then we moved on to feed ourselves properly at Five Guys [not four guys] which is a burger joint. So how does that work seeing that I'm a veggie head? I have such considerate friends that they knew Five Guys had veggie sandwiches. So happy!

Then in order to escape the ITIS we went on a mission [whilst still in our seats] to find something fun to do. The dollar movies were lacking in the cracking [madagascar] so we opted to go to the ironically close Barnes and Noble. Me myself, I have not had the honor of going to BN on a regular basis. Only Borders. which is now closed. Tear. But yes, BN was awesome. So cool. We were first attracted to the board games in the front and we will be purchasing some for our birthday party thingy. Then we were drawn to the Shakespeare section. After all we are all such refined scholars! I did my monologue for them and they approved. Then Kahlia did hers from Romeo and Juliet. Then, oh then my friends....

We began realizing our TRUE BOND!

WE ALL KNOW THE WORDS TO THE LITTLE MERMAID SONG!!!!  PART OF THAT WORLD!!

THIS IS EPIC!

This is epic because I thought I was the only one who knew all the words.

Then we finally left so they could take me home. I'm telling you guys these are some really cool peeps. I'm so happy that it was them who let me hang with them. Who else would drive as long and as far as they did. I want them to know that I appreciate it. I really do.

Thank you from the top and bottom of my heart, girls!

I MUST FINISH THIS POST.

 empty cup

I don't know why you're here but I'm glad

I can't protest what I don't understand

My favorite thing to do is write

And even though my mind is empty

I'll keep this light

Is that a contradictory statement?

Is this awkward to anyone but me?

I'll consent if you want to slap me

But just don't

Not the face

You know...

Reason/Inspiration

An awkward moment. I don't know. Dedicated to Kahlia. For 4:22 pm of today.

Closing/Future

In closing, I am so happy that I found such awesome new friends. And I'm so happy that I get to see them every week. We had good clean fun. And I know this is just the beginning of something really wholesome and good. In the future, I will have bffs! :D
