Photography

Not all pictures on this blog are mine. Sometimes I will post my own but a lot of times I will use other people's who have a lot of talent and pick one that fits best with my theme of the post. The second to last post is from my best friend Jessie Allen. Not Jessica. Same way I'm Maggie not Margaret. See how we're so great?

I'm going to try and get an official post out tomorrow or on Christmas day itself. Ironically I should have more time Christmas day than just Christmas Eve. Who knows maybe later tonight even? I don't know we'll see how everything plays out.

I've been caught up in a story I'm writing called Leila, Darling. More to come on that soon.

-Oh, and the picture in this post is actually mine. It's me and my new shiba inu Oliver :)

Run Around in Circles

In my literature class we read a couple sonnets. Then we had to write our own, either by ourselves or with a partner. I actually ended up co-writing one with a friend of mine on another topic. If I can get ahold of it I will post that one too. But it's vacation now and I ended up writing another one. Here's a couple things about a sonnet: it consists of fourteen lines, the first eight are the octet which follows a rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA generally. The last six lines are called the "sestet". The sestet's rhyme scheme is less predictable I used CDCDEE for the sestet this time.

Run around in circles until the world is spinning

You're not the only one there but that is how it feels

Everyone watches you as you make your deals

But let it fade away and keep on grinning

Keep on going child this is only the beginning

As you turn, they all can see how you're head over heels

The longer you go the more it blurs like a race car's wheels

Keep going though, you're still winning

Even though it all looks fine, you feel sorry

Every thought you think leaves you confused

Wandering through the world with your eyes so starry

Will only leave you alone and abused

And just like this

Everything else fades into the great abyss
