It has been snowing buckets all day, which is unfortunate for many reasons, mostly the road conditions.  It is really beautiful, though.  I took a nearly three hour walk today, just enjoying the snow-covered trees.  I took my camera as well, and took some pictures.   I really, really wanted to make a snowman, since it is perfect packing snow, but I ( Read more... )

I thought I was going to have a fit, or at least fall into a exhaustion induced coma, but I didn't.  This quarter is finally over, and I didn't die. Yay for me.  Actually it wasn't the whole quarter that was so bad, it was more the last two weeks of this quarter that almost put me off my rocker.  Of course it was entirely my fault.  I ( Read more... )

The stone walls of Azkaban were cold against Severus’ back.

Dumbledore should have given the Order all the evidence they would need to have Severus exonerated, yet here he sat.

Severus didn’t know who to blame.  Dumbledore?  The Order?  Either way it didn’t matter.

There had been no trial, no testimonies, no evidence; he had been sentenced ( Read more... )

This is definitely my favorite poem from the ones I wrote in Creative Writing.

Write

These stories that hide inside of my head are unrelenting.
They know how to torture me.
They beat against my skull demanding freedom,
but I’m afraid to let them escape, so I build up the walls,
bricking the stories in. Should I let them out?
I’m afraid that they will ( Read more... )

SIgh.  Ok.  I've sent out the survey for my Gender project.  Hopefully a few people get them done and sent back before Wed.  Now I just have to do the rest of the poster.  And all the research that entails.  Not to mention all of the other homework that is due this week, namely that stupid 5 pg paper for poetry that I don't even have a poem for yet ( Read more... )

We had the last class of beginning ballroom dancing tonight.  It was fun, everyone dressed up and everything.  I'm kind of sad that its over.  I wanted to sign up for the advanced class next quarter, but it would have conflicted  with one of my other classes.   Oh well.  I think what I really need is a boyfriend.  Yep.

Dead End

I quit in the end; I wasn’t fired
like so many others before me.
I was exhausted and so very tired,
but in the end I wasn’t thrown out; I left Hell willingly.

Like so many others before me,
I condemned myself.
But I wasn’t thrown out.  I left Hell willingly,
for who wouldn’t cringe from the devil himself?

Love is open and our hearts flit through that great expanse,

resting on one soul, then

another, and another.

The currents of the world

lift us up, let us soar,

but they can quickly turn menacing.

Throwing us tumbling through the air,

We struggle mightily against such storms

barely making headway until,

finally, we come through, feathers ( Read more... )

I'm tired.  Of course, I'm usually tired for one reason or another.  It's been weird, lately I have been going to bed at a half way decent time (before 1am) and then just getting up earlier to finish whatever homework I didn't get done.  I've decided that it is a new level of procrastination that I have reached.  Wait till a few hours before the ( Read more... )
