Journal: WOO! -------------------------------------------Mood: Yeay!! So, I was on facebook, right, and they had an advertisement for writing camp this summer at interlochen. (art school in michigan). My parents said I can go, and i'm PSYCHED! Three weeks in a cabin on the lake with other writers, I can smell the pencils now.... anyway if you're going, too, and you're going to the first session you should let me know and we can meet up. (yeah, snowball's chance in hell, I know, but I thought I'd put it out there) and this is just something I tossed together for a school project about natural selection... Ode to the Ugly Ducklings Nearby there is a sludgy lake The water's pukey green blankets of algae cover the rocks and the smell is just obscene. but some ducks don't mind the smell they came in yellow, blue and red but something awful struck the group when blue and yellow bred Blue-red babies came out fine they were purple, deep and bold but blue and yellow had ugly ducklings with ragged coats that looked like mold. The purple ducklings jeered and gibed and teased their counterparts. the mocked the greens and called them names and broke their little hearts. Then suddenly the geese attacked for they were bitter rivals the purples brashly tried to fight the greens fled for survival. But, lo, the geese were grown and strong the purple still were young. They couldn't fly or bite or scratch, doomed before they'd begun. One by one, the purples fell. Not one survived the fight but the greens were left untouched and unharmed their color had blocked them from sight. Once, reds and yellows tried to breed and oranges joined the group but again the flock of geese returned only greens escaped the troupe. After that, the blues and yellows refused to breed with red sick of watching their ducklings get whacked wanting them to live instead Soon, the reds ceased to exist it was obvious and plainly seen that the best offspring a duck could have were a murky, sludgy shade of green. el fin. ...Created 2008-03-16 16:08:24

Journal: -------------------------------------------Mood: The Usual New poems. Comment them, please and thank you. I always return the favor (although if your comment sucks, sometimes I choose to be lazy) Poetry unit in English- maddening or inspiring? hmm.... What a stale and tiring refrain; Do you dare to rape my muse again? ...Created 2008-03-10 06:11:38

Journal: .... -------------------------------------------Mood: just peachy Happy birthday to me....happy birthday to me.....happy birthday dear veniaaaaaah, happy birthday to me. Some of you like to ask if I'm seriously 14, well now I'm 15 if it makes you feel that much better. :) My Mews I really have no clue what to write. I feel neutral and blase, indifferent, almost. But still, I feel this kitten who gently mews and nuzzles my hand, who begs me to write her a scrap of something. Her whiskers wrap around my heart and squeeze it tightly. Surely I am not so heartless as to ignore this darling's pleas. I wish I had more to write for the kitten; she keeps leaving lovenips on my brain. ^Just something I wrote a couple weeks ago to break up a writer's block. I dunno, I like it. ...Created 2008-02-27 17:42:36

Journal: Genius -------------------------------------------Mood: The Usual "Young Castle called me 'Scoop.' 'Good morning, Scoop. What's new in the word game?' 'I might ask the same of you,' I replied. 'I'm thinking of calling a general strike of all writers until mankind finally comes to its senses. Would you support it?' 'Do writers have a right to strike? That would be like the police or the firemen walking out.' 'Or the college professors.' 'Or the college professors,' I agreed. I shook my head. 'No, I don't think my conscience would let me support a strike like that. When a man becomes a writer, I think he takes on a sacred obligation to produce beauty and enlightenment and comfort at top speed.' 'I just can't help thinking what a real shaking up it would give people if, all of a sudden, there were no new books, new plays, new histories, new poems...' 'And how proud would you be when people started dying like flies?' I demanded. 'They'd die more like mad dogs, I think- snarling and snapping at each other and biting their own tails.' I turned to Castle the elder. 'Sir, how does a man die when he's deprived of the consolations of literature?' 'In one of two ways,' he said, 'petrescence of the heart or atrophy of the nervous system.' 'Neither one very pleasant, I expect,' I suggested. 'No,' said Castle the elder. 'For the love of God, both of you, please keep writing!'" Cat's Cradle, page 231-232, Kurt Vonnegut. ...Created 2008-01-14 18:11:06

Journal: -------------------------------------------Mood: quite cheerful I haven't made a journal entry in awhile, so I thought I'd just go ahead and go for it. I'm so excited, my latest bout of writer's block has ended, and words are just spewing all over the place. It's beautiful. The girls at school think I'm bulimic (excuse what I'm sure is incorrect spelling), and at first I thought they were referring to my recent weight loss. Now I understand they were just confused, seeing as I've been puking inspiration everywhere. So yeah, life is good. Comment me please, unless you have nothing useful to say, in which case I'd rather you just message me or keep it to yourself, kthx. ...Created 2007-10-30 16:26:13
