So I'm here, in this desert of a country right? And I'm staying with my cousins which is really the best part of being here. Most of the time, when I refer to a cousin I mean some distant relative that's roughly my age and can only be classified as some kind of removed cousin. These guys are actually my mother's sister's children, so we're close. ( Read more... )

I remember this one time, when I was a freshman in Florida. I had just started a new school and I was trying to make friends and fit in. If you've ever gone to school with me you know how I carry a novel around all the time. Well, this one day, couldn't have been more than a month after school started, I sat down at the start of my World Geography ( Read more... )

I couldn't sleep. Thoughts, ideas and worries kept creeping into my head and my bed was too hot. I got up and just started writing. Sometimes I have to write before my mind can quiet down. The product turned out pretty well and I like it. I'm rushing to post it while the ink is still wet in the hopes that I might have a comment or two by the time I ( Read more... )

My mom keeps telling me how I have my priorities mixed up, how I keep confusing what's important and how that will be my downfall. First of all that's way too dramatic. Second of all I don't think my priorities are mixed up at all. I place a lot of importance on my friends ( Read more... )

Ms. Seal said that my edgy poetry is my most original stuff. So I wrote this poem a while ago and I didn't like it, so I made it rhyme which I think improved it. I'm still not sure what I think of it though so let me know what you guys think ( Read more... )

So I know that I haven't updated in like forever. But I've still been reading my friends page religiously, so I haven't forsaken livejournal. But I feel most of the time like I don't have anything worthwhile to say. I mean, I don't like to write about every thing that happens to me on a day to day basis. I prefer to write about my thoughts. I can ( Read more... )

"I'm not even supposed to BE here today"

This was an excericis we had in my English class, I liked it so I thought I would post it. We had to write and say if we were a bag what kind of a bag would we be and what would our contents be ( Read more... )

I have had a few big thoughts lately, they aren’t completely clear yet, but I feel like writing them down would help. Lately we’ve been studying Blacks, lynching and the Civil Rights Movement in my Humanitas. Such horrible and uplifting stories fitted so close together that it’s hard to get control of your emotions before they are torn in a ( Read more... )
