"Besides I can see from glancing at him that becoming a writer holds no interest for him  because life is so holy for him there's no need to do anything but live it, writing's just an afterthought or a scratch anyway at the surface--but if he could! if he would! there I am riding in California miles away from where my poor cat's buried and my ( Read more... )

I've officially gotten credit for my work.
If you get the latest issue of Athens Parent Magazine, a photo I took is on page 18.

It's not a lot, but it's a start. 

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways ( Read more... )

I bought a new life for $1.25 
and some sunglasses too
It isn't easy growing up here
But don't take my advice
I'm not the best with words
And I can't read minds anymore

And I'm tired of trying to fit right in
Don't think that you're so great
Cause being great must suck

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight ( Read more... )

"We gotta go and never stop going till we get there."
"Where are we going, man?"
"I don't know, but we gotta go."

If I get every class I want, this is what I'll be taking:

Ap Govt.
Lit 11 acp
Ap physics
latin II
latin III
psycology
algebra 2 acp

it just might kill me.

also, Ragsdale really wants me to join the Odyssey. Part of me wants to, but I know it will pretty much own my life if I do join, plus I don't have any room for a journalism class.
