Hey everyone, I don't normally post here alot, but I've decided to drop the lurkerness for a bit and ask a little question, maybe even a silly one but oh well :-) Is it just me or is it quite a bit harder to write good poetry on a whim rather than when something inspires you? I mean, I actually find it hard to churn out anything decent when I really WANT to, but then once in a while I'll just get this surge of creativity and crank out some poem that sounds great.

I miss like a whole bunch of school and I am so psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY OFF THE SIDEWALKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so psyched!!!!!! um, my bday was Sunday and while it was rather depressing...I am on a role now. One thing sucks though. My sister and I, she will be 16 in 16 days, signed up for driver's ed in January abut we can't take it until the March class. I am so pissed. Some people bumped us off with their birthdays. I am so not happy with that. I mean, according to the law, if I didn't take driver's ed I would have to wait until I was 16 and 6 months before I could get my license...plus I would have to take the 5 hour drug and alcohol course that's a state requirement. That would mean i couldn't get my license until June 22 or so. If you take driver's ed then they knowck two months off of the six months and you an get your license in 4 months meaning I could have gotten mine in April. but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have to wait until March to take drivers ed which means I won't be getting my license until June anyway. This really pisses me off. I can't believe that. I swear, if it weren't for insurance monry reasons i would NOT be taking drivers ed if I can't cut back on the time I get my liscense in the first place. Ahfladsjf[ lakjdsfo[iaewvr o]awir ckl'adskf j Okay, I feel a bit better. I'll let ya'll go now. Thanks for listening. =) I'm not weird, just really stressed out at this point. <3 always ~Mandabear~ Somewhere down the road there'll be answers to the questions. Somewhere down the road though we cannot see it now. Somewhere down the road you'll find mighty arms reaching for you. And they will hold the answers at the end of the road. -Amy Grant- ________________________________________________________________ Get secure free e-mail that you don't need Web access to use from Juno, the world's second largest online service.

Dear Angels, Okay, I got my self a little problem. Saturday, a teacher, Mr. Sopha, from my school, died of a heart attack. Yeah, I feel sad, cuz...I guess it just hit close to home or something. Kind of scary. But, he was a jerk. I mean, I guess that's disrespectful to the dead, but that's the truth of it. I'm upset about the death, but I'm not really that sad about it because he was a jerk, and I feel bad because I don't feel worse about it than I do. Does this make sense? love and lollipops Courtney the hyper angel ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
