Questions

A friend here at college introduced me to these ten questions that really got me thinking. So, i'll be posting a new question each week (or so), give my answer, and ask for yours as well. I think they're really interesting.

1. What is your favorite word?

At the start, this question seemed up my ally. I love literature and words and English, and this is just so interesting to think about. Sometimes English can be so limiting though.. and it gets harder and harder to find just the right word. I'm sure you've all had those moments when you're searching and searching for the right word, and then the aha! when you finally find it. That is so satisfying, isn't it? But, off the top of my head, it's hard for me to think of one word that just strikes the right chord. I have to think for a bit... I'm going to make a list....

Cadence
Coherence
Simplicity
However
Breathe
Catalyst
Cozy
Nonchalant
Superfluous


Those are my favorites right now. What are your's?

Some Things Are Meant To Be

Relay

Tonight's Relay for Life.

It's going to be hard for me, because last year's relay was the last time  I got to spend an extended period of time with Emma. One of my biggest annoyances is that I couldn't stay the whole night last ear. I had SATs or something in the morning. Which makes no sense, but there was something the next day I had to go to. ><

Hopefully my friends, old and new, will keep me going this year.

I wanted to name our team Following Fabulous. We picked a different name, but that is my own personal team name for us. For the group of people who are dedicating to following fabulous and moving forward. That's most important. Moving forward; not moving on. We'll never move on but we will move forward following fabulous where ever we go.

Inheriting

The story is not really mine to tell, but I'll tell it anyway. This is the way it goes:
Back in 2009, Lindsey and Emma used to joke with each other; Lindsey wanted bigger boobs, and Emma always said "Take mine!" Now, if you've known Lindsey for awhile (and have been hanging out with her friends who notice things like this) you might have noticed, like we all did, that Lindsey's boobs grew like crazy over the summer. Inheritance? Maybe so.

I think I got a similar strange gift. Hats.

I can't get enough of them! Since the summer, my hat collection has quadrupled. I had one hat before...which I never even wore. Now I boast 5 hats. =] I just bought this floppy pink one yesterday, I was so excited! Emma gave me her hat craze, I really can't get enough of them!

Villanelle

I wrote this villanelle for AP Lit.






Sail off to sleep.
Remember me as you close your eyes,
and for this moment do not weep.

In your memories closely keep
all that we’ve done, our loves, our lies,
now sail off to sleep.

Softly now the winds fall and sweep
to hush your fears and calm your cries
and for this moment do not weep.

All I’ve been, your heart will reap,
through all death’s faint disguise
so sail off to sleep.

The night holds your dreams; let your heart leap,
Let rest give rise
And for this moment do not weep.

No longer lost; carry on, your soul is deep.
Stay strong, my love, withstand my goodbyes.
Sail off to sleep,
and for this moment do not weep.
