poetry

we did a poetry unit in english class this year, which i was dreading. i always hate the forced "iambic pentameter", "meter", and "beat". but for the first time, my english teacher really understood poetry as an art form, not as figures and math, like the rest of the grown-ups. so for once, i really liked poetry. i would barely even write it in class, let alone on my own. but here is some i wrote today, on my own.

WHO CARES WHAT I WANT

i really don't like being sick.

i don't want to throw up

i don't want a racing heart

i don't want the caffeine overdose

EVER AGAIN.

i really don't like bleeding.

i don't want to see it run

i don't want to see the scars

i don't want the cold knife blade

EVER AGAIN.

i really don't like the silence inside

i don't want to keep it all bottled up

i don't want the happiness to be a facade

i don't want to pretend

EVER AGAIN.

i really don't like you.

i don't want you to touch me

i don't want to see her "prettier" face

i don't want your stupid lies

EVER AGAIN.

LIES? WHO CARES WHAT I WANT...

REACH-AROUND

You reach around

I'm not looking

You think.

Pull me in

And whisper

It'll be ok

In my ear.

I can't believe 

You're still 

Lying.

"It'll be ok"

"It'll be alright"

And what do

I have to say?

"If you please"

"Get offa me"

ANGELO (PANTS ON FIRE)

GUILTY PLEASURE

CUTIE

SWEETHEART

MINE

WONDERFUL

ODD

SUSPICIOUS

HIS OWN

SECRETIVE

WORSE

LIAR

LEAVE ME

RUNAWAY

PANTS ON FIRE

LIAR, LIAR

HERS

goodwill

i just got back from goodwill where i intended to buy a pair of shoes to convert to gothic lolita wear. but, 'tis not my fate. i actually ended up buying just about everything but gothic lolita makeover shoes. instead, i bought the original pretty pretty princesss from 1990, which is what i used to play when i was in pre-school. i also bought a vhs version of fiddler on te roof, which was in great condition and had a special features tape: 3 bucks. why not? and i also bought the french version of the little prince by antoine de saint-exupery. too bad i cant read it. but im learning french. i can say all my colors in masculine and feminine! that's good, right? red=rouge, blue= bleu, yellow=jaune, green=vert, purple=violette, orange=orange, white= blanche, brown=brune, black-noir. so those were'nt all masculine or feminine. i went with personal preference. 

anniversary of heath ledger's death, dance biscuits, coraline, and wonderland

yesterday was the anniversary of heath ledger's death. :'( he left a legend behind him with his final film, the dark knight, which is, in my opinion, one of the best films ever made. he played the villain, the joker, who is also one of my favorite roles in any movie. R.I.P heath. we'll always remember you.

second, my friend angelo told me to look up a video that was an snl skit with beyonce and justin timberlake in it. i did, and its hilarious. you should definitely see it. sorry about the french subtitles. were warmed up like biscuits! ya! dance biscuits! were the danssserss!

Justin Timberlake danse pour Beyonce - Vidéo humour

next topic, coraline. an amazing new film by the director of  the nightmare before christmas. it's a fantasy-horror stop motion movie about a young girl who discovers an alternate reality in her flat. it's based on the british book, which im gonna read soon. it come out on the 6th.

alice in wonderland, tim-burtonized. could it get any better? i IDOLIZE tim and his work, as well as helena's acting. the new movie has the usual tim burton crew of johnny depp as the mad hatter, helena bonham-carter as the red queen (duchess), but a new actress to the scene was cast as alice. mia wasikowska. she has a promising look, and i hope she does the movie justice.

cute little pictures

clean clean and more clean

today i have to take on a hideous task. cleaning. i have never been a fan of cleaning, and today i have to clean one of the messiest things in the house. the bathroom? no. the drainage pond? no. your yarn cabinet? yes. i got into knitting in about 4th grade and never stopped. theres something very relaxing and rewarding about knitting. then, this past year, i took up crochet. why? simply put, because its fast. crochet gives you fast, rewarding results. im still a much better knitter, but thats a knitter story for a knitter day. anyways, back to the disaster i call my yarn cabinet. i have a white cabinet in my room that i decided i would use to house my ever-growing yarn stash. the top shelf; yarn. the middle shelf; needles and books. the bottom shelf; assorted yarn-related knick-knacks. knick-knacks. knitting. knights. why not spell words the way you say them? i really want to meet the lunatic who started spelling nitting, knitting and thot, thought, but back to the topic at hand. well, the top middle bottom shelf method always starts off great, but soon gets turned into a midbottop method and everything is jumbled together soon before long. now it looks like an awful mess up yarn, needles, and books. even the bravest of brave wouldnt want to go exploring in there. i have absolutely no idea where to begin, and i have a lot of yarn that needs to be winded into balls, which will slow up the process. i also have school tomorrow, which i just love. not really. i wonder which is worse... school for a day, or cleaning my yarn closet... i will ponder this while you enjoy this artists representation of my yarn cabinet:

international grocery shopping

i went to a korean grocery store last night. it was small and interesting. i bought this morning glory writing set thing featuring babu, the bear/puppy/alien/other e.t. then i went to an indian grocery called namaste, which means hello in hindi, and bought some pav bhaji masala. it was pretty fun all things considered. i also saw an ad in the korean grocery for a place in the carmel arts distict that sells japanese-french style pastries. sounds awesome! i'll have to check it out. but for now, i've got to go imagine that i have a car.

claire belton

stumbled across this lady's site. she has some really cute work i thought. here is some of it.

pretty dolls

i have always had a thing for dolls and these dolls are really pretty. i hope they stay for a while!
