Do This

Hey everyone.

Do this. Click it. Read about it. Write stuff. Apply.

Or just look at it, see what you think. No pressure.

But do it.

I woke up this morning and wrote about shit

Hey y'all, Mom here. I wrote this morning, semi inspired by Fight Club, which I'm a little more than halfway through, and which I think is awesome. I don't really have a title yet, but it does involve Literal Shit. It's just kind of a fun thing, so post feedback if you want. I'm just curious what your reactions are :).

Have a good day!

Mom isn't good at titles

So this is what's up:

1.) I've spent my entire day working at a bake sale for Green Club (of which I'm the president). And we've made lots of DOUGH. (Haha, get it, 'cause baking...)

2.) I keep getting inappropriately anxious about things. Especially college, the common app essay, not writing or reading enough, planning when to finish Infinite Jest, losing my friends, homework, college, getting enough sleep, college, being a person, college...

3.) I had a brownie for breakfast today. This is very unusual.

4.) The Oberlin College rep visited today...he wasn't very interesting...and I was really nice to him, and showed him around, but our college counselor isn't here today....but the guy doesn't even know my name.

5.) I will be at Kenyon OCTOBER 23/4/5, with my friend and my teacher, who is a Kenyon alum. You guys should totally visit at the same time...(ahem, Logan).

6.) Our fall play is October 16-18th, and once again I have been cast as the girl with guy problems; i.e. I'm 26 and have a 7 year old child and his father only visits every year or so. (He's basically the same character as the dad in Boyhood. But not as good of a person.)

7.) I haven't been writing much :/.

8.) I FINISHED INFINITE JEST LAST SUNDAY. I was on the last 30-40 pages for a good two weeks because I was worried about how emotionally and intellectually empty I would feel after finishing it...but yeah, it was AMAZING, and I'm rereading the beginning now.

9.) Yeah, pretty emotionally torn now though.

10.) Homecoming this weekend, yay!

11.) I thought I had more to say.

12.) LEGIT IMPORTANT THING: I'm doing an independent study this fall term, and it's on the role of religion and science in literature. I will be posting here and also asking for advice. Post with more details about that coming soon (hopefully tonight).

13.) Let's all go to Houston!

14.) You should all see Guardians of the Galaxy. IT'S HILARIOUS.

Hey, Mom isn't dead

HEY GUYS. I'm still here. Legit blog post coming very VERY soon (like I've written it in my head a million times). But first, Infinite Jest readers, watch this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJpfK7l404I.

A Poem Thing by The Princess

Dear

This, dear
Is your reminder than even though the sun comes and goes with itself
The moon remains
Tender, scarred, unchanged
While the sky rests, unheeding, in it's curve.
This, darling
Is your notice that you shan't neglect the stars
Both ripe and crude
Who have served as guides and mirrors in their days.
Do not forget which constellations have wiped your tears
And which will wish you Godspeed as they wipe them
Again
Every time the rigid atmosphere
Tries to capture your attention
With its perfected façade

It's a "Why I Write" thing for my Creative Writing. They're fun to make; you should try it!
So...how's school for you? Working on anything cool? Any birthday requests *cough* Leah *cough*?
