11:07pm

it's eleven oh seven pm
I thought I'll start a poem then
then the future tense started
to be past tensed when I parted
my hair with the end of a pen

now it's eleven oh eight
and I'm tired because it's so late
Iambic pentameter
tells me what's the matter
as I stare at the screen quite irate

Eleven oh nine comes around
and by gosh If it's quiet I've found
that I can think in circles
that end up marking purples
just as fast as the car stuck in the ground

eleven eleven
made a wish up to heaven
but I skipped eleven ten
I was chatting with a friend
inane to the end
was I
speaking or typing
again?

eleven twelve
dig and delve
thirteen
fourteen
wait whose counting?

lost track of time
eleven oh nine
no wait,
eleven fourte-
fifteen
now my thoughts are drifting
throught eleven sixteen
on through
the night
in which
I
might
just...

fall....

zzzz...

It's is a New Year!

The Emerald City 2011 Comi-con is coming!!!

March 4th through the 6th

I'll probably be going on the 4th and the 5th

These people will be there:

I'm really excited.

I have no idea how I'm going to pull off making a costume by then.

College apps take precedence. That's a cool thing about being an "a-dolt" you are either responsible, or you're  not. I'm learning that there are variations on both as well.

Miracles

I was talking to my sister today about needing new walking shoes. just a comment in passing, and a necessity for my feet the ones that I have are old men's shoes with rubber soles that I am wearing down until they are a health hazard for want of slipping. So I'm getting to the point of needing a really very good pair of shoes for walking in for the next three to six months if they will last that long. Shoes that are comfortable with good support for somewhat high and prone to falling arches are preferable
I have a pair of Naturalizers but they have a graduated heel and for walking they put the weight of my body on the balls of my feet, so they're mainly shoes for working in a professional environment.

Leap forward about twenty minutes. My brother, sister and I went to the library so that my sister could get her homework done, my brother could play games on the computer, and I could check my e-mails. We did, and I discovered a message from the University district Mall.

It said that I had won a $50 gift-card to the shoe store Sole Food.

Miracles do happen.

Ricola® Wallet

I made a wallet out of Ricola® wrappers!
I have been very sick over Christmas and I coughed a lot. So as a product of that I had to eat a great deal of cough drops. I don't like Halls. So, I used Ricola®.
This is not an add for Ricola® they did not pay me to write about their virtues.

Although, if they would like a spokesperson for it I would be more than happy to be listed on their payroll…

I woke up the other day and neatened my mess, clothing, stray tissues, and abundance of Ricola® wrappers. So I used them. My sister had seen a website that printed patterns on recycled mailing envelopes made of interwoven plastic fibers. I thought it was cheating, you should actually use those materials to make the wallet! But art is art, and either way, it's a wallet. It goes in and out of your pocket, it holds your money and cards, and things, and its main purpose is to be tucked away in a purse or pocket. So I made this wallet here, and later on I made one out of the comics section of the Yakima Herald. I think they are cool, and should either be used, or put on display somewhere. I just need a bunch of clear tape; then I can make more! I would like to design other kinds of wallets, but with everything else taking precedence, I may not get to it. So I shall tuck it away for another year, time, day, and move on to the next idea. Tootles!

I Forgot...

I forgot what it was I was doing
I remembered once I went to bed
I recall it was something important
then it danced right outside of my head

I forgot what it was that was needed
I went back and retraced all my path

I got just as far as the back yard
then it left just as quick as all that

I left off where I was in the movie
I pressed pause
then went out for a walk
I read quickly a chapter of sci-fi
then put the marker in where I left off

I made tea
boiled water in a kettle
put the leaves and the stuff in the pot
waited patiently as it steeped oh-so-slowly
then poured it through a small strainer
right into my cup

I inhaled the aroma of Merchees
Breakfast Blend and the smell of the toast
with the butter and marmalade slathered generously
I remembered then forgot what was supposed...

to be OBVIOUSLY right what I needed
but I cant for the life of me
call it to memory
what it was I was needed to remember
what it was I was supposed to have known.

Going on an Adventure

I'm going on an adventure today.
where it leads me,
it leads me where it may
I've a general outline
of where it will go
but keeping to that outline
will be an interesting show
There's so much to see
and so much to do
I like to go on adventures
every month or two
sometimes its more often
than what I really plan for
All that I can say is
at least life's not bor-ing!

Merry Christmas!
