Haven't posted for a while. It's quite obvious that technology is going to leave me even farther behind than I'd already resigned myself to being left. I'm not ever going to learn anything that will allow me to be an intellegent part of the internet community. I don't guess I care, though. But I like this instant gratification process of publishing...even if no one reads my words.
Speaking of which, in verse class last week my teacher stared at the poem I'd brought and after a while he said, quite flabbergasted, "This annoys me to admit, but I can't find anything wrong with it." After class he told me the poem is publishable. He wants me to stop by his office tomorrow, I suppose to discuss said poem and its possible placement in the Alabama Literary Review. Which would be nice, by the way.
Boywise, my life is quite boring. I've been doing some awkward flirting, but for the most part I've been too busy running away from high anxiety situations (which include interaction with cute, intelligent and attractive males). I've still got a very bitter place in my heart for last semester and everything that happened therein, as far as my love life is concerned. Unfortunately, I seem to thrive on staying hopelessly infatuated with bad ideas, and last semester had a bunch of bad ideas; however, I'm dealing. Heh, using the silent treatment for now, but who knows? Perhaps a party and a few drinks later I'll be back to waking up first to alien arms and then silence and resentment... Doesn't that sound fun?
Though falling asleep with someone is almost worth it. And that's the sad truth.

My English classes go well. For the first time, I think ever, I'm really excited about the process of learning. I feel like I'm actually being benefited. We'll see how this new revolutionized attitude of mine will hold up after the first test and paper. I'm taking a verse writing class, and it's scaring the pants off me because I'm really uneasy with my poetry right now. There are only 5 other people in this class including someone whom I would very much like to impress (much like the male, I like to parade self-accomplishments in order to gain the admiration of the opposite sex).
This semester most certainly has a better over all feel to it. I think many surprises may come of it - good and bad, but mostly good. This is a semester of adventures and fun and work and some sorrow and some loneliness too, but mostly adventures and fun and work, I hope.

5 things about me:
1. I'm vain about my hair and it's not as blonde as I think it is.
2. I need at least 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep to be able to function normaly the next day.
3. I've religiously kept a diary for almost 8 years.
4. I seem to think I'm going to make a living by writing.
5. I once burst a spiders nest egg on my hand. All the little babies came wriggling out - tons and tons. I momentarily lost my sanity.
5 more things about me:
1. Last summer I was diagnosed with melonoma.
2. The surgery left a huge, sprawling painful-looking scar on the most visable part of my upper back.
3. I'm angry because I don't want to be looking over my shoulder (literally) for the rest of my life, scared that cancer is going to get me.
4. I'm dealing with that anger and trying to be more mature (and wearing sunscreen, though I always did that anyway).
5. My friend Miranda and I are going to backpack part of the Appalachian Trail either this summer or the next depending on when we can raise enough money. Whatever is left from our expenses we're going to give to charity. I'm going to keep a journal and attempt to publish it afterwards.
5 Things about my family:
1. I have a sister who's very pretty.
2. I have a brother who's very angry.
3. I have a mother who's very loving.
4. I have a father who's very long-winded.
5. I have a cat who's very stupid.
5 things about my crush/love interest.
Which one?

Back.
Empty stomach and begrudging resignation to a new semester's worth of headaches. I will have fun in the next couple of months just as surely as I will be miserable too...
Goodnight.
