i have a headache today. that's not so unusual. but it gives one perspective.
one thing is, i am convinced that i am delusional. in a very many ways. the things i do, down to the people i think i know, are more or less constructions of a deviant mind. one more thing is, i am convinced that i am myself part of this deception. and for that, i apologize. should anyone come upon this, and i'm not sure how many will, please rest assured that i am not myself.
whatever. it's clear by now that i'm writing this by myself, for myself, and it's crummy. being alone is crummy, but now it's pretty much a constant. i'm bored with me. hopefully i won't see me for some time. |

So! Haven't posted in too long a time. Things of interest:
- School is both boring AND frustrating! A 2-for-1 deal!
- I'm officially #6 in my class
- The food-service company that has recently started working in our cafeteria turns out to be supremely sketchy! Could this mean poor food choices, district mismanagement, even embezzlement? Watch as I track down this story for our newspaper which less than half the student body will ever read! |

what. a. day.
a) when i got into school today i spoke to my english teacher, who told me "well, for the 4 positions in the english honor society exactly 5 people applied. so, seeing that there's no reason to hold an election, the 5 of you should just talk it out." and we did, resulting in...me being president of the english honor society.
b) fourth period i had a meeting with guidance regarding college. after the end of said period i made haste to photo class when i encountered a large knot of people crowding the hallway, blocking my way and my view. apparently, i missed the most insane catfight so far this year. the details: two on one, the two being hispanic twins. the whole thing was sparked by a spilled coffee, and included hair pulling, ripped jewelery and a head being repeatedly slammed into a locker. after the crowd moved on all i could see was blood, hair and beads.
c) at the newspaper we recieved a letter from planned parenthood, offering to buy an ad in each issue for the whole year. in the past we've recieved a similar request, but now that we have a new principal there's a slight chance we'll be allowed to run it.
d) THE ABSOLUTE CRAZIEST THING TODAY: I'd rather not pontificate on this, but: ( this man taught me! ) |

L'shana tovah y'all! Especially now that Corey Maye is no longer on death row.
If you're wondering who I'm talking about, Corey Maye is a black Mississippian who was sentenced to death for killing a (white) policeman who broke into his home unannounced in the middle of the night, heading a SWAT team looking for drugs on unverified information. For a more full explanation of the story, check out this story which was instrumental in getting this case known. It's an indication of our country's f-ed up legal system that Maye will ony get a new sentencing trial, but at least his daughter won't be an orphan anytime soon.
look to the icon, folks. i'm making it my new year's resolution: remind everyone just how much war sucks for the little ones. |

first of all, the who were too hot to trot, but you already knew that.
but perhaps you didn't know: apparently I scored high enough on the PSATs to be in the running for a National Merit Scholarship. (I'm a semi-finalist now). In order to become a finalist and maybe get some money, I have to send in an application, along with an essay of about 500 words. SO, i'd like you all to look at and thoughtfully consider this essay, essentially: "What sets you apart?"
Also, i gotta give it to the school tommorrow, so don't be too harsh and make me stay up all night re-writeing it, hm?

school, as usual, is mostly pointless. however... (drumroll please...)
MY TEACHER ACTUALLY GOT AROUND TO TEACHING US A SINGLE, USEFUL FACT IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE TODAY!
and what is this fact, which i impart to you free of charge? simply: toxins are bad. toxins DO NOT EQUAL 42. he didn't say it in those words, obviously, but i'm learning to translate into nerd.
but two vury good things on the horizon:
a) WHO CONCERT TOMMORROW!!!
b) la-la-la-la LAAAAAANEY is comin' to stay over the weekend!
so, if'n you live in the area and you wish to see us in the city that never sleeps, drop me a line
and we'll flesh somethin' out

let me set the record straight. school is distressing- i realized that of my six teachers, i like three of them (mr. heller, mrs. krause and mrs. dentrone) and detest three (henning, conners, and whoever ends up teaching my gym class). as such, i end up with a good half of a day, a bad half of a day, and a lot of boredom in between. it occurs to me that, of the three detestable teachers, i have still not learned a single thing from any of them!
but i can't be too unhappy. firstly, it's friday. secondly, tommorrow i'm gonna see my beloved ctyers. and three, which only hit me moments ago in its awesomeness when i dusted off my copy of live at leeds, I'M GOING TO SEE THE MOTHERHUMPING WHO ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BIATCHES.
thank you soooooo much briar. less than three! :) |

When i was in Jamaica i was CONSTANTLY hearing this terrible, terrible song over and over again, and I'd like to share it with you now. It's unique awfulness makes you wonder: was he being serious, or was he actually singing to a convention of pirates?

The Rose
----------
The rose is obsolete
but each petal ends in
an edge, the double facet
cementing the grooved
columns of air--The edge
cuts without cutting
meets--nothing--renews
itself in metal or porcelain--
whither? It ends--
But if it ends
the start is begun
so that to engage roses
becomes a geometry--
Sharper, neater, more cutting
figured in majolica--
the broken plate
glazed with a rose
Somewhere the sense
makes copper roses
steel roses--
The rose carried weight of love
but love is at an end--of roses
It is at the edge of the
petal that love waits
Crisp, worked to defeat
laboredness--fragile
plucked, moist, half-raised
cold, precise, touching
What
The place between the petal's
edge and the
From the petal's edge a line starts
that being of steel
infinitely fine, infinitely
rigid penetrates
the Milky Way
without contact--lifting
from it--neither hanging
nor pushing--
The fragility of the flower
unbruised
penetrates space
-- William Carlos Williams

BRAINFLASHES OF LATE NIGHT INSPIRATION!!!
a) for all attending the labor day parade: let's carry signs with pictures of stephen colbert, and then we can get on the show! it will be AWESOME
b) if you want to join facebook but can't because you can't get an invite from someone at your school, what i'm thinking we could do to get around that is if i invite you as a member of my school, then you switch networks so you're at your school!
even if both of those ideas flizzle like so many others, it doesn't change the fact that in less than 30 hours i'm gonna have my LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANEEEY :P |
