What... happened...?

Back in the day, a.k.a last semester, I would write poems that were pages long. I think the longest was four pages.
Now I'm producing multiple haikus a day, as well as other poems that are not too too long.

I wonder... how many poems have I written in my life thus far? I remember keeping a journal Freshman year at Suffolk, where I wrote 300 poems in 12 months alone. I have books of poems dating back to 1998. I don't think there is a way to count. Must be somewhere over 500, so if anyone ever asks, which they usually don't, I'll just say... "a lot."

Here is a haiku for all of the couples out there:

Advice

Have a snowball fight
Near a famous Swiss mountain
With a boy you love.

Thursday April 29

Ended up crying last night while trying to sleep. No idea where that came from! I'm really not one to cry, unless there's reason to.

In other news, my trip to Prague and Poland is coming up very soon. Perhaps too soon? Third time flying to Europe in the past 11 months. Crazy? Yes. Broke? Now I am. I'm eager to finally study the Philosophy of Freedom, though, in these two countries!!

Even more exciting - my boyfriend is flying from Switzerland to Boston for a few weeks this summer!! He booked his flight a few days ago. His first time in the United States, and it will be amazing.

Speaking of my boyfriend, his birthday is next week! I'm not sure if he reads this or not, so I don't want to reveal his birthday present ;)

LAST DAY OF CLASS TODAY!!

My Twin Sister

Few people know that I have an identical twin sister. (Well, those who aren't so close to me). It just doesn't really... come up too often. Until they encounter her. Her name is Lauren, and she's a minute older than me. Above is a photo of the two of us at Powerscourt Gardens in Wicklow Ireland, July 2009. I'm the one with the scarf! :P

How I Met You

A short poem of how I met my boyfriend. Who knew that I'd fall in love with the boy who walked by me while eating a crepe at a sidewalk cafe in France. I, being the random person that I am, saw that he was looking for a place to eat, and called out to him. He ended up eating with us, and that is how it all began...

How I Met You

we met on the sidewalk
it was the third of August,
our second day in France.
we happened to meet
on our first day of school.

you walked by me,
and it happened, we met.

Breakfast of Champions

The lady next to me on the train was reading one of my favorite novels, and it made me smile!

"Breakfast of Champions" - Kurt Vonnegut.

Check it out.

Milky Eye

The man sitting across from me on the train earlier did not have a pupil in his right eye. His eye was completely white!

Work

Today at work, Martha Coakley came in to recognize the children whose paintings are in the new calendar. There were cookies for the kids, and I walked into the room to find a little girl had saved me a huge peanut butter cookie, after I thought that I wouldn't be able to have one (since I was running a class, and wanted to let the kids eat the cookies). SO CUTE!!!

after work smell

My hands smell like glue - and the glue smells like a butt.

:(

the kids made little TV books today, which required said nasty smelling glue.

Glam Man

I saw the coolest person on the train today!

He was about 7 feet tall!
With a crazy red "mohawk!"
And light grey leather pants!
With a cool red studded scarf!
And really big black boots!
And the bottom of his pants were covered in bandanas!
And really big sunglasses! And black gloves!

He was some kind of glam-punk sort of thing...
I've never seen anything like it, at least not in Boston.

He had to duck out of the train when he got off, he was that tall.

This Just Happened

Caleb on my back! :)
He perched there for a few minutes.

(I was standing up, so I had to hunch over while he sat on top of me)

Pickle

Why am I up late, if I have to wake up early?!

38 Days

38 days until I'm reunited with my boyfriend in Krakow, Poland!!! :D

I haven't seen him since January 11.

Street Encounter

This happened about 2 weeks ago. I'm surprised I didn't blog about it.

Me- *walking home from work*
Lady walking by - *angry hand gestures*
Me- *confused face, keep walking*
Lady- FRIEND, FRIEND!!!
Me- *confused, is she talking to me?*
Lady- FRIEND! FRIEND!
Me- *turns around*
Lady- *walks towards me* I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't making those gestures at you, I'm angry at someone else from earlier today.
Me- Oh, okay, that's fine.
Lady- Yeah, I wanted to apologize.
Me- It's okay.
Lady- You have very beautiful eyes! Have a good evening! *walks away*
Me- Thanks. *walks away*

the lady was older, and she definitely was not from this country.
oh, the characters in my town!

Computer Stuff

My youtube doesn't work properly - the videos don't play, just music, and then it freezes the internet, so I have to exit out of Safari and make a new tab, and my Facebook newsfeed page is messed up, the events/pokes/birthdays etc are on the WAY bottom of the page, when it SHOULD be on the top right hand side of the screen.

It works fine on other computers.
I think this is connected to the CRACKS in my LAPTOP. Somehow. It must be!

Flavorless.

Sweet Berry Stride gum is very disappointing.

Sicky Sicky Sick!

I almost fainted on the train last night.

My legs are killing me, and I'm dizzy.
And it feels as though I have a head cold.
Meh Meh MEH!

I think it's allergies. Weird, weird allergies!

Hopefully it goes away :P

Random Happenings at Suffolk

On Friday I snuck into an abandoned room at my school that had a piano in it. I began to play the piano quite loudly, for classes weren't really going on on that floor, and no one seemed to be around. As I was playing I heard the door from the hallway open, so I turned my head to check it out. Three girls walked by and the first girl saw me, and said "Hi!" I took a French class with her back in the day. The second girl said "Hi!" and so did the third, I took Music Theory with one of them Freshman year, and the last girl I met during Orientation. Three girls I haven't seen in a LONG time, walking by together, all three know me from various years at Suffolk. What are the chances! I was just playing the piano! haha.

Me, by a little girl

Love my job! The little girl who drew this is only seven years old. I think she did a very good job!

Warning

DO NOT GET ME ANGRY. I'M AWFUL.


And I don't get angry too often.
Except now, I am very, very angry.

schoki

My boyfriend spoils me with Swiss chocolate. I have chocolate that will last me MONTHS!! nom nom nom. <3

India

Last night an Indian man invited me to go to India and Dubai! I wish!

Words of advice:

Do not live life passively. Speak up for what you believe in. My throat is sore from talking so much. This is AMERICA, we have the FREEDOM OF SPEECH... so use it. 

Bad toothpaste

Okay, so the toothpaste I'm using has killed my gumz. And I thought I was the only one, but then I asked my sister and she said it's hurting her, too. Avoid this toothpaste!! 

I need a certain chair

I need a wing chair for my room!

EPIC and COMFORTABLE. PERFECT FOR READING. 

16 & Pregnant

The show "16 and Pregnant" on MTV makes me never want to have kids (the childbirth scenes are so... graphic). Really, I did not want to see what a C-Section looks like. I also feel very sorry for them, the fathers usually leave them to raise their babies on their own. PSA for teenagers: Don't have sex! (And I'm quite serious). 

Broken Piano Mystery Solved

Little cousin broke the piano. He apparently banged a toy car on the key, and it came loose. hmmm. Still broken. I left a note on the piano: "WHO BROKE THE PIANO?" and someone replied: "JAMES." haha! 

Swiss Air

I saw a Swiss Air flight fly by the window at work earlier today, and my heart literally sank. 

I miss him beaucoup!! 

:(
