Today was a fun day at school. I did my definition speech in speech 101. It was basically, pick a word that starts with the first letter of your first name and write a speech about it. I thought mine to be particularly clever, but of course I have the most enormous ego ever so I think everything I write is ingenious. If Brian Marley ever reads this blog by some off chance, I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU'RE A SICK SICK MAN, (and I think you're totally hot so that makes up for it ) BUT YOU NEED HELP!!!!!! And I suppose now I should confess that some of those anonymous two cents pitched into your comments section were from me. Ahem, ok. I feel better now getting that out. My creative writing assignments are going to be posted here eventually. I have one in my backpack I could probably post now, but eh, ok fine I will. This was my first poem I did in my creative writing class, take it however you will.

The City Smells of Burning Cornflakes
by Kelie Smelly
The City smelled of burning cornflakes.
Every morning I woke, opened my door to fetch my paper in gastric peace.
As days press on, turned to months, years, decades, nausea shifts to comfort.
A familiar sour-sweet smell of coffee,
mixed with menthol cigarettes,
A matriarchal breath.
I no longer sniff a stench,
while away that pungent odor escaped my memory.
Upon my return the gaseous cloud welcomed me,
Enveloped me.
I know now that I am home.

Ok, so the feedback I got on that thing was extremely negative and the class just started at me with "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?????" written all over there intellectual faces. Oh well. It's my art, I can do what I want with it. I also have some 'found poetry' I would like to share. I ripped these out of magazines. Here are two I liked and found somewhat amusing.

There are plenty of Photo-ops,
Illinois girls unite!
Mills observes, often ends in court.
We caroled.

and.....

Mile loop to Serengeti.
Of that was on "one and a half lane"
dust-not mud,
Reminders of British Country.
Auto's driven on the left.

And there you have it. If only I put forth have as much effort into my studies as I do blogging. I really should look into something more creative for a potential career. I think I have my priorities skewed at the moment. I am STILL at school, been here since 11 am, I should probably head home now. I may or may not write soon. With my track record it will probably be at least a week until I show my face here again. Ciao for now.

My My My....I have MUCH to update all of you, my faithful blog-readers on. First of all let me say that Steve is now officially on my psycho-males-list, but I don't really want to talk about that just yet...I would much rather talk about my weekend thus far. Yesterday morning I departed with my speech teammates and headed for Glen Ellyn Illinois. The speech tournament was at College of DuPage (CoD). I had no events on Friday, but Saturday I was double entered in Duo and also in POI. My duo was with Rebekah, and was entitled "Mother's Day" by Edith Tarbescu. In my honest opinion, our performance left much to be desired, and that opinion was reflected by the judges comments as well. My POI was on Peter Pan. It was basically parts from the readers theatre we did. I didn't do so well there either apparently, although I thought I did REALLY well for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Oh well, in the favorite cliched words of Ian Grindstaff, "Ya win some, ya lose some, easy come, easy go." I had a good time overall. I get along great with the other speech teamers. Erica made finals in Informative, I was so stoked for her. Ian made finals for Impromptu. His was freaking disgusting. He had some quote about love and danger or some business, and somehow he went off on a tangent about sex, including lines such as "they banged like banshees" and "I'd rather stick my genitals in an oven before I killed myself for a girl" (regarding Romeo and Juliet), and the closing statement was "and the next time your girlfriend asks you to do her in an elevator, you better do her in that elevator", or at least something to that effect. I was sooo embarrassed for him, but that quickly changed to shock when he won 2nd!!!!!!!!! Erica won 3rd on her informative, it was about those ink blot tests. worshach or rorshach or something. *makes note to look that up*. I read Brian Marley's blog tonight. All I can say is wowsers, that's a doozy. It's late, or early depending on your perspective and I have had a total of 4 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours. I might, just might, try and go to bed. I had a great weekend, and I am looking forward to the next one, where I KNOW I WILL MAKE FINALS DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I leave you now with tidings of comfort and joy (song stuck in my head).

I AM HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The End Of World flash I posted awhile back no longer works and I am thoroughly heartbroken because that was the funniest flash I have ever seen in my life and I walk around quoting it constantly. Now no one will have a clue what I am talkign about unless I have shown it to them before. I am going to go sulk in silence now and not posat again for a week. That is the punishment for whoever or whatever caused that site to go down :(

I am super busy today but I NEED to make an entry just because I want to stay in the habit. Nothing is every really new in my life. Things are OK. I have been better, and I have been worse. School starts in 6 more days, fun fun. I am actually excited because I have too much free time as it is right now. Ethan and I have two classes together and we have decided to share textbooks to save money. I went to the library with him yesterday, it was nice to get to see him. We rarely talk anymore, and I don't know if it's because I have a boyfriend now, or that he has a jealous girlfriend now, or a mixture of the two, who knows. Whichever it is, it needs to change because I am having Ethan withdrawals. I say it all the time, but he is the greatest friend I've ever had and I would rather die than have him disappear from my life. I just hope and pray that Steve doesn't start acting jealous of him like Tom was. It is so stupid to be jealous. In my opinion, jealousy just shows a lack of trust. I won't lie, I have been jealous of things in the past, but then again, there probably wasn't much trust in those relationships either. I have another freakin' cat. It was a stray who was crying outside my window for several nights in a row. Phyllis saved it and brought it over to my house, because she already has 4 cats over there. This is a very small black and white kitten. It is a boy, I checked, it has nuts. Now to come up with a name for it. I thought about calling it 'cow' but that isn't cutesey enough for my taste. If I had it my way it would be a girl kitty, so I have decided he is gay, therefore naming him something girly is appropriate. I will come up with something and make sure to let all of you, my adoring fans, know what it is. I will holla atcha later y'alls.
