Something Random

A couple months ago I was looking through my box of writing when I found a poem that I had written, but didn't finish, during my Senior year for my English class. Since I liked what was written, I decided to finish it and share it. We had to write an Ode so here is my Ode to Insanity.

Ode to Insanity
My friend, which cannot be seen with the eye
You give me comfort inside my warped mind
Cackling maniacally when others are nigh
Giving them chills and think you unkind
Only I know you have a sincere heart
To give comfort to those who are in need
The ones who have indeed lost their head
And with that you've done your deed.
Don't be like mom and leave a horse and cart
Otherwise I'd say you haven't done your part
And besides, without you, I'd be better off dead.

You're a blanket of security wrapped up tight
Around those loose headed forms
Which keeps them awake at night
In their enclosed padded dorms.
Running in circles, making a scene
All the others think us as weird
But this is as normal as I can be
It is not something to be feared
Since you are something that cannot be seen
But still, I treat you like a Queen
Because you, my friend, are my Insanity

I only had a few lines into the second stanza when I turned it in. Since I worked so hard on it, I got full credit unlike some other students who wrote a bunch of nonsense, finished it, and received a C. I was very proud of myself. And yes, I know, it's weird, but that's why I like it.

Good News!

Okay, I lied. The pictures didn't come soon, but at least I'm getting them on now.



And Sharon was so proud that I finally got to fifty. I was very hesitant to go too fast. The highest I went was almost 60.
Now, some good news. I took my driving test today and I passed with flying colors. I had no errors! I was so happy. All my worries were for nothing.

Driving

Last Saturday I drove to my Grandparents house. It was a three hour drive, and I made it! I only scared the family once, going to fast around a corner on Scott Mountain. Apparently Jacquie was halfway out the window, screaming, Sharon was flattened against Jacquie, screaming and I think both parents were screaming. I managed not to roll the car though, thank goodness and the rest of the trip was uneventful. Pictures of me driving coming soon.

Update

Wow, it's been a long time since I last put up a post. Well, about three weeks ago my wisdom teeth were taken out. It took about 3-4 days for my left side to feel better and a little over a week for my right side to heal. I'm just glad I can eat normally again.
Something interesting happened to me a few days ago. I unscrewed the light bulbs in my room and placed them on the sewing table. In my sleep. I woke up and saw the light bulbs on the table and realized what I had done. I know I did it in my sleep because for some bizarre reason, in my dream I had removed light bulbs from a fixture. I find it hilarious, it's the first time I've sleepwalked.

Great Way to Start My Summer

I had a Dentist appointment yesterday. While I was there, the hygienist working on my teeth noticed that I haven't had an x-ray on my teeth since 2007. So she gets the x-rays and keeps going back to this one that, to me, didn't look like anything was wrong with it. She then pointed out the very bottom corner of the x-ray to me and said that it looked like my wisdom tooth was growing in sideways. She wasn't sure, so she got the dentist and he looked at it. He needed a better view of it so I had to step into this huge machine and have this thing move around my head. I had to wait for the results and while waiting I was praying that everything was fine. She came out about 10 minutes later and showed me the x-ray. All four of my wisdom teeth are growing in sideways, and are down pretty deep, so I have to go to some other dentist and have him remove them. Everyone has been telling me their "horror stories" about when they had theirs removed. I am so not looking forward to it.

School's Out for Summer!

I had all of my finals today. It was a nightmare, but I survived. I'm so glad that it's over with. My brain is fried right now, I can't think. Chemistry, Psychology and Spanish 2 finals will do that to you. Anyway, I just need to wait for my grades now.

Visit

Jori came up to visit today. He rode the train from San Diego instead of driving because he can't handle the big city driving yet. I was so excited to see him! So was Fletcher.


He kept trying to steal Jori away from me. Thanks Kristie for distracting him. We went to the college to return my books, introduced him to "my Institute Parents", then rode the bus back home. I finally felt like I knew where I was going.
We introduced Jori to Vander today also. He thought he was very cute.
I took a while to get Jori to hold him, but I finally did it! Don't they look so cute together?
