Well, Sydney slept over last night. That's about all that happened to me. Yep. Exciting.
I don't have any homework, so that's good. I read about a hundred pages last night of Atlas Shrugged which was really good. I am really hungry- my family went out to Buffalouie's (my favorite restaurant) but all the food is really crappy for you there. -sigh- I feel really bad for everyone in Football and Cross Country. They had to run yesteday. Ha ha.
I may as well do some planning for NaNo. Darn- I'm really not looking forward to planning. The actual writing is going to be real fun though. Charlotte is all done for now- I'm seeing her in my sleep now, so that's probably a good sign. Onto Alec, the only other main character.
Uhh . . . I'm too lazy to get my poetry notebook out so I guess no poetry for you today. Poor you. (sarcasm)
My cat's lonely. I should probably go feed him. Bye!

Ew, I have a States and Capitals test tomorrow. Ick. Gross.
Barack Obama is a really good public speaker. I'm watching the convention right now, and his speech is fantastic! Well, my dad just said it was lackluster. I thought it was pretty good.
Seriously, we're like a week into school and I had five things of homework today. :P Hmm . . . I only wrote four poems today. I'm slowing down, mostly because of homework and crap like that. Sigh, well at least we have pictures tomorrow. I can write then.
Crap, what am i going to wear?! Oh no!
Yikes, I have eight voice songs to work on. This is crazy. The songs are Think of Me, A Lass from the Low Countree, Come Again My Love, Still, In His Eyes, Once Upon a Dream, Evensong, and Wishing you Were Somehow Here Again. Holy. Crap.
Another poem, once again (poor man) copyrighted. Hee hee.
"Superman"
I cannot be Superman for you
but if I were able
I would do it in a heartbeat
I'd fly across the sky for you
I'd swim across the ocean blue
I'd walk the lands forevermore
I'd lay down upon the shore
but all these things
I'd only do
for you
and me
We'll always be.
Oh ho ho! It actually is happy. Go me!

Beginning of School
So we're back to school once more. -sigh- At least I get to see my friends everyday! Unfortunately, that also means seeing . . . other people too. Yay.
I got 17/30 on a test in English- my best subject. I feel like crying. This sucks. Not a good way to start a year. I also found out we're not doing any creative writing this year- no poetry or short stories, nothing! -sobs- I'm going to FAIL! :( That's the only thing I'm good at in English.
Screw grammar. I want to WRITE!
Kathryn dared me to fill up an entire Five Subject notebook with poetry this year. I'm almost done with the first subject. Take THAT!
NaNo planning is going good, I haven't done much, but Charlotte's character section is almost finished. I have a whole honking binder full of plot, characters, and setting. Wow, I am SUCH a loser.
Do you know what is a really good book so far? Atlas Shrugged. I started reading it this summer, thinking it would be tedious, but it's fantastic! It is sort of tedious, but only because the book is so big!
And now, a sample of my poetry. I have this (poor man) copyrighted. Haha.
"Tomorrow's Coming"
It'll be better tomorrow
they say
And all of our troubles
Will go away
The clouds won't leave
tomorrow, they say
But they'll be white
instead of gray
Tomorrow's coming-
Tomorrow's here!
But sadly somehow
Tomorrow never gets here.
I know you all (oh who am I fooling, no one reads this blog) were thinking, "Oh my god, she actually is writing a not depressing poem!" but I totally tricked you in the end. Haha.

NaNo
Well, NaNo's coming up. Yikes, I'm SO nervous. Hopefully I'll be better this time. I've been planning lately; I have an entire binder dedicated to this story. It's called "Follow" and it is science fiction/dystopian fiction. Haha, this is going to be a really fun story to write. I'm excited. See ya guys- I have to go watch the Olympics!!!
