   "You can overcome anything that gets to you...."
"No giving up" by Crossfade

It's raining outside....YES!!!!! I love it when it rains and it's cold and just absolutly miserable outside. ^~ Yes, I'm weird, what's your point?

I found out something so friggen awesome the other day. Ok, there was this poem contest thingy for this huge poetry business and I sent in a poem of mine (a rather crappy one if I do say so myself, but it was the only one that fit what they were asking for). I was just expecting a review of how bad it was, but I got something BETTER than a review: I got nominated to be in the International Society of Poets!!!!! O.o Holy moly!!! They only select the best of the best to be in it, and they rarely ever do this!!! Man....my poem must've been better than I originally thought. I get a lot of things if I join, like a 2 year free subscription of their magazine and a fancy pin to put on my shirts and a plaque and such but I'm really excited because if I join they can publish my poem and they'll give me a discount to start my own published book of poetry!!!! This is so friggen awesome!!! I was litterally bouncing up and down when I found this out, and could not calm down all day I was so excited. My mum wants me to look into it to make sure it's a good thing to accept (which I know it is), but I'm probably gonna accept it anyways. ^_~

Bought a dress on Thursday for the Band Banquite. (sp?) It's actually really nice and looks good on me. O.o It's black and a turquoise-like blue that has spaghetti straps and comes up to just below my knees in the front and almost touches the ground in the back. It's all black except for the trim on the bottem and a tanktop-like bit on the top. I swear, if it was red and orange it would look like a spanish design! ^~

Did ya'll have a good St. Paddy's day yesterday? Mine was.....eh, 'cept it rained, which made it better. ^~ One of my friends surprised me while I was walking with Kinoki by joining us while wearing a bright green afro. *cracks up laughing* Oh man, that was too funny. And someone actually honked at him for it! It was just too funny.

Watched Corpse Bride last night. Tim Burten has one twisted mind, that's for sure. It was interesting, but never the less he's got one creepy mind that I don't ever wanna delve into. His muse must be very twisted.

Ok, here's the poem that got me nominated into the International Society of Poets:

The battle

Metal on metal
Metal on flesh
It's all the same to me I guess

Swinging through the air
Never know where they'll go
A whistle in the air
Where will it land?

Children crying
Women begging
I never hear their cries

Blood stains my hands
And then I know
My innocent ways are gone

Broken body's lay like pieces of hay
Mother Earth soaks up the blood
The sky burns like fire in the deep pits of Hell
Then all is silent

I thought of this when I was writing a Rurouni Kenshin fanfiction. It was the only thing that fit the criteria of the contest. Let me know if ya'll think I deserved it. =^^=
