Either Or
Pews line either side of the pathway, the aisle empty, the seats filled with friends
and family for this momentous day.
The ceremony begins, as do gentle flows of tears
as she floats down the aisle slowly.
It's time to move on. A new page has been turned, the rest of the book yet unread.
A black limo arrives, beckoning to
The two bodies, now one living.
They arrive at a place with overwhelming silent serenity.
He lays her down to rest, heart filled with emotion
as quiet peace engulfs them both.
Wedding?
Or
Funeral?

A BAD LIST
1. Never-ever-ever-EVER try to empty out a bowl of soup...in a school sink. BAD IDEA!
2. Never ever use your sister's volleyball while playing next to a relatively busy street...{no worries; it only has a few skid marks}.
3. Don't slam someone's locker shut unless you know for an absolute fact that they don't have the manpower to totally tackle you to the ground.
4. Want to know what's really bad? Your breath. :D! jk...take a mento from the mento jar on your way out.
5. Never type a very important assignment the night before its due date and forget to save.
6. Never laugh at your own jokes...there's no particular scenario for this, because it's just something you should never do. ... Ever
7. NEVER Eat 6 pieces of pizza before going to a 2-hour volleyball practice.... that was painful.
8. NEVER try out a new nickname on the first person who walks in the door; it's very likely they're not the person you were intending the nickname to be... especially if you shout out "Hey, D," and their name is Priscilla...
9. NEVER EVER EVER EVER under ANY circumstances should you EVER take one of your closest friends on your 4th driving lesson. That just SPELLS "hit-the-curb-and-try-not-take-out-a-mailbox".
10. NEVER hesitate while jumping or about to jump, especially if there's something particularly nasty below you. You'll regret it, and so will your shoes.
11. Never assume that since the eggs look relatively cooked they will be safe to eat.
12. Don't buy those valentines stickers and stick them on your FACE! You'll regret it for the next two weeks when you'll have to explain to people what "that ugly, bruise-like, welt thing" on your cheek is.
13. Never give Chair a sugary substance. Never.
14. Don't get off of a bus at any time without checking that the people you are traveling with are also off...especially if you're nine years old and in London, England. That is VERY bad.
15. Never break your bed. I know, I know, it's weird; but it's only weird till you sit down with an unnecessary bounce and then it all comes crashing down!
16. Never stay up till two watching vids and talking about serious stuffs with a friend while being extraordinarily loud on a school night...you'll regret the consequences.
16. And lastly, but not leastly, in fact, probably the most number one thing you NEVER want to do is: No matter how many times you hear them talking about how unfair it is that the office will take up your phone and look through it, do NOT lock it. You know why? Because your phone is mean and will undoubtedly lock you out. And that is very, very, very BAD.
*sighs and lowers head* ARG!!!!!! Curse you, t-mobile!!! er....it wasn't really their fault... CURSE YOU, OWN STUPIDITY!!!!

New Post
But, I'd rather hear about you and I'm sure you'd rather tell me about you than listen to me blab on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on until you're asleep, drooling on the keyboard, and electricuting your skull. Here are my questions to you, dear reader, for anyone who is reading this must be pretty dedicated, and for that, I value you. But that's not the only reason I value you! Unless, of course, I've never met you...in which case, this will be quite interesting. Erm...am i making sense to anyone other than myself, here?
Ok, firstly, I know I'm a nosy person, so these questions might be kind of...frank...so don't feel inclined to answer a question you don't want to; just skip over it. Or, if you're like me, just don't leave a comment at all. :p But, without further adeu {did I spell that right?}, here are my questions to you: {I rhymed!!}
1. Have you ever counted something right before you've fallen asleep, and did it help you to fall asleep?
2. What is the strangest/most realistic/scariest dream you've ever had?
3. What do you find yourself thinking about most at night/what is the one thing you find yourself most often thinking about when you have nothing to do?
4. What's your favorite brand of cereal?
5. Given the choices, which would you choose: a leisure trip to Paris, or a mission trip to Mexico?
6. What's the highest elevation you've ever been, where were you, and how did you feel?
7. What do you incorporate with the color red?
8. What would you do if you were the only person left in the world?
9. Has a book ever made you cry? What book was it?
10. How would you describe yourself in five words, three colors, two objects, and one fish?
11. Did you know that it's gramatically impossible to describe yourself with a fish because it's not an adjective?

Erm...a poem?
Well would you look here-
You’ve written a rhyme,
Explaining why
You have no more time.
Suppose you shall show them
A typical day
Because you lack all other
Good words to say.
Don’t fear the silence
That thrives in the car.
Relax and chill out;
Your school isn’t far.
Walk up to class,
As the ringing bell ends.
Nod your head and wave
To your happy friends.
Meet the girl’s eyes,
Then sigh; look away –
Long ago you ran out
Of the right words to say.
Still softly recite
Your silent prayer.
Although she’s grown distant,
She is still there.
Stop looking through
The window’s glass.
Take time to note changes
Going on in your class.
Spanish is done;
Your morning’s half over,
But Mrs. C’s mad,
And none know what drove her.
Family Life skills
Is done in a blink.
Get up, slowly now,
And take a long drink.
Rest; fall asleep
In Biology.
Hope and dream
That the teacher won’t see.
Talk with your homeroom
At lunch, while you eat.
Then finish your homework
That’s still incomplete.
The next two classes
Pass by very slow.
What were they about?
You really don’t know.
English arrives;
You guess life’s not fair,
Or, at least, so it seems,
If your name is Jane Eyre.
Rush back to homeroom,
Drop off your things.
Now head to the room where
The choir simply sings.
Don’t dream about summer,
Just don’t dream at all,
For now you must go
Manage basketball.
Two hours go by.
Homework? Still more.
That’s all shoved aside
As you watch twenty-four.
You turn on the TV,
“Very stable, well done,”
It compliments you.
Isn’t wii fit great fun?
You had Marial over;
Y’all made woopie cake.
Though somehow you’re grounded
From her till Spring break.
Look Forward
To Spirit Week -
Who can be the biggest freak?
You must go to your room
So you read or you play.
Then you open the Word,
And you listen and pray
For the girl that you saw
And the boy in that chair,
And the ones you see hurting,
Because someone should care.
Listen to music,
Leave your conscious world,
And watch as the dream boat
Drifts off, sails unfurled.
