Hi, and goodbye.

Oh lawdy

Into this wild abyss,

The womb of nature and perhaps her grave,

Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,

But all these in their pregnant causes mixed

Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,

Unless the almighty maker them ordain

His dark materials to create more worlds,

Into this wild abyss the wary fiend

Stood on the brink of hell and looked a while,

Pondering his voyage…

-John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book II

The Amber Spyglass

"Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit."

I really like this book.

Adv. Comp Discussion today had everyone upset...

This was my view.

See

The people in the street

Crying for release

Take a little time?

They’re begging for a dime

See good in them.

The mothers who are too young

Sure, I bet they’ve had their fun

Now crippled with this baby

Asking anyone to ‘save me?’

See good in them.

The snobby jerks saying ‘get off your ass!’

Counting their money, as they walk on past

Blessed life from the start

Corruption in their heart

See good in them.

Through your tears and smiles

Those inches, feet, and miles

Dragging along

Singing your life’s song

Though it’s hard to do

See good in you.

CAN NOT WAIT FOR FAME!

She inspires me.

Today I

Had breakfast with my grandparents and just-invited-guest we met on the street; former tugboat operator named Hill. I got home and rode my bike into town, went to the grocery store and bought a disposable camera. Took pictures of everything i liked, everything that was beautiful or funny. I played skip-bo at the old folks home, got my butt whooped. Checked in at work, rode home. Good movie, still hungry but overall good first day home.

MOVIE

I really like this movie. It's definitely one where you wish you could go in and just make people happy. Super good though:) Thanks for recommending it..

The last two weeks of school..

Not Lost, Just Wandering

Sometimes during the day, during lunch or when I'm walking in the hallways i just get this strange kind of feeling. Especially when i listen to music, but it's this kind of weightless "it's alright" feeling. A few months ago someone i know told me blogging was dumb, so was preforming, and/or singing. I asked him why and he told me because when it's all over, no one cares. I hope that not everyone thinks that way, because how sad would it be if no one cared about anything. That's why i like that weightless feeling, it's like even if i was asleep my body would care, it would still keep me breathing and flowing and living and dreaming. When i go to school everyday and see the same ambition-less people everyday (except a few) it's hard to believe that there is still some magic left in the world. I hope there is though because i plan on finding it.

Peace, Acadia

Wise Up

This weekend i spent kind of alone. My dad and stepmom were both gone and i hung out at home,stayed at a friends house i hadn't hung out with for while, i went to dance with my friend ally who i hadn't hung out with for a while either. Sometimes i get a little intreverted. I want to just hang out alone. I wish i could've had a bit more time to myself... i'll just try to make some more time i guess. 

House Photography

I have this new thing for silhouettes and black & white photography...

Bat for Lashes

Last week: It was my first week back. Back at school, back with friends, back with my dad and step mom, back in Montana. It was nice after my New Orleans visit to know there are still mountains. My schools concert choir went to Music Festival down in Columbia Falls and we got an 'excellent' or a 2. 1 is the highest you can get, so i am pretty proud of us. 

Yesterday: Rinnah and I and some other high schoolers from band or choir went to Music Festival again except this time for our solo pieces. The adjudicator we had was in love with classical music, Rinnah, Danielle and I all having Broadway pieces were scared, but it totally took us by surprise when the adjudicator told us that Broadway pieces weren't allowed, at least where she came from in Idaho. We were so upset, and when i finished my piece, I cried.

Today: I applied for a job at Jaxs Cafe, i really need to start saving money for my AFS trip. I had a malt with my dad, it was nice, now I am going to clean/unpack/wash/sweeten my room.
