dear nurse

when i was little i had a surgery and before hand a nurse came into give me medicine.  she was not a nice nurse, i don't think she liked her job.  so being the nice person she was, she shoved the medicine down my throat because i refused to take it. well, i took it alright but not without a fight or some nice words.  as she left i kindly shouted "RUDE NURSE!" down the hall to her.

i tell you this story because i feel like thats what happened with my creativity, the only difference is i'm still screaming to get it back.  someone shoved and took my crayons and walked down the hall without giving them back. and i miss them, especially the blue one. so this is to the nurse, the teacher, and who ever else that stole a piece of my creativity, could you please un-shove it and give them back?

i do

i don't know how to start, so i'll start by saying hi and telling you that i'm more of an introvert than an extrovert.  i don't like ice cream, it makes me feel sick. i prefer cats to dogs. i'm not clumsy but i did fall down his stairs, and my head gets like this when i see him

i would rather have a boyfriend than a crush, but i guess right now a crush will do. i do like the sound that metal makes when meeting the ground on a 1200 pound foot...if that makes sense to anyone. i don't like the way i look in pictures. i don't like being around a lot of people but, i guess i don't like being around small groups of people either, it just means less people to avoid with more of a consequence in getting caught not saying hi and making eye contact. 

this boy put it perfectly once, he said; "i would rather talk to people who want to listen to me than talk to people who could careless about me and my opinion." 

i do remember one of the first things he told me was "this may sound weird but your voice is really cool." i do know that was the weirdest but coolest complement i've gotten. and i do know this line from someone's favorite song has been stuck in my head for months; "just promise me we'll be alright..." 

i do know i've repeated that line in my head because that someone gives me hope, of something. i do prefer books to movies. i don't like rap music even though thats all that seems to float through these halls. i do know my favorite quote came from a movie i have yet to see. i do know my favorite view is from a small aircraft thats 30,000 feet above ground. it means something new. 

i barely know who roosevelt is and the power that comes from that name but i do know lee and the smell of fresh bread coming from her kitchen. 

i do hope i can make at least one of them proud.
