I enjoy writing things as though they were poems



Hello, Dear.
Get ready for a big wall of text.
Cause I have shit to do,
That I’m not going to.
In study hall,
We pretty much sit.
And listen.
And watch the large man
With the large rear
As he watches us.

There are two rules: Be quiet, be productive.
What if I were to be
Productive
But loud
And quiet
But sleep.

I slept last night.
A lot.
For the first time
In ages.
More like weeks.

This is A material.
Write shit like this,
Teachers eat it up.
Poetry is in the eye of the beholder.
If I phrase my thoughts
In coherent sentences,
With a new line for each one,
We can watch as it becomes
Real

I don’t have a connection with chemistry.
I don’t have chemistry with science
Math is slowly killing me
English—my sole alliance

Yes, I felt like there was a need for rhyming
Somewhere in this abyss of text.
It’s actually quite amusing

I bet you didn’t expect
A haiku to come
Out of thin air like magic

You counted the syllables
And found that I tricked you.
The last poem was a haiku,
Not the one before.


With the old Microsoft word
Making a column
Is so much harder
But I did it.
And now, there are two.

Oh, how I procrastinate.
It’s funny how much homework I have.
I will be up so fucking late.
I didn’t mean to rhyme, but did.
I should probably stop
Writing meaningless poems,
That actually aren’t poems
Just thoughts.
That I want you to read.

Here is me trying to write a real poem:

“It’s 2:32,
And it’s nothing new,
That I have shit to do.
But I’m not going to
Cause I feel so blue
And I would rather draw on my shoe.
How about you?”


Ah, I should’ve been a lyrist.
When you find this
I hope you laugh
Just a little
Because then
It would make all the procrastination
Slightly
More
Worth it.

Eargasm

Pretty much,
Sarah Bareilles = Eargasm

I'm discovering how wonderful she is once again.
And kind of freaking out about it.

Probably the coolest human being alive.

-___-

I think i should apologize for the tone of my last blog.
It wasn't meant to be depressing, just... memorable.
Ah, who am i kidding, it was pretty depressing -__-

But I'm pretty happy right now.
Because tomorrow is the speech mock tournament.
SYC.
I should be practicing, but instead i am procrastinating.

Here's what i predict to happen tomorrow...


Then... PANDEMONIUM BREAKS LOSE


Then i melt into a pile of goo.


only 50 club penguin coins! Buy up!
wish me luck

much love,
radia

Frosted Flakes and Nostalgia

Frosted Flakes
We are out of frosted flakes.
That in itself is a crime, but add to the fact that i have so much to say and no one to say it to, in fear of being annoying, and we realize that i may or may not be going crazy.
The microwave is beeping. I should probably go get my lunch out of it.
Returning, i found that microwaving sesame fish isn't a good idea because the sesame seeds get all over the microwave. Great.

Nostalgia
 I miss waking up in the morning to music.
I miss opening up a fresh pack of crayons, and playing pretend.
simplicity.
Easy bake and lemonade stands.
Naming the trees
Laughing to the point of tears with my best friend
 Hiding behind a beanbag chair to tell secrets and swap treasures.
So many big plans for the future. I was going to cure world hunger, stand in the spotlight on Broadway.
I miss my Dad.
And our Tuesdays.
The purpose of life was the cookies, the songs, the laughter, the endless jokes and pictures.
I don't like growing up.

Heyo, World

Heyo, world.
It's kind of fun to talk to myself, seeing as no one will ever read this. I actually forgot I had ever made a blog in the first place, until my friend reminded me. And seeing to the fact I'm feeling quite optimistic today, i decided to write a cheery hello.
There will be more to come. I promise. Unless I forget again. Because that is likely to happen. But until then, here is a picture of a hamster wearing a santa hat.
Oh gosh, i really don't enjoy rodents.
But i do enjoy Santa hats!
Syc, I'm not done rambling!
My brother just came into my room in his Halloween costume. Since he is beyond excited,  here's what proceeded to happen:

And that, my friends, is the story of my life.
