Clouds

There's dark clouds in my sky, or is that smoke passing me by?
Tonight will I dance in the rain, or run through hot ashes in pain?
Will everything wash away tonight, leaving me clean,
Or is the more for me to endure?
I don't know the answers, only the questions,
And now, they're driving me crazy.


So, I wrote this poem mainly because of all the smoke that's floating around. We get really bad wild fires out here, and the sky is totally blanketed.
Anywho, I start school in a week. I miss my friends so bad. But I'll see some of them at the concert next Sunday, and Facebook's saving my butt.
I really have nothing to post about, exept for Cross Country Camp. We went, we ran. We made a rap too, and shirts. Sadly the shirt's bleed, so we can't wash them. I put mine in "The Box." It's a box of random memory stuff.
Speaking of boxes, I've missed everyone's birthdays. *sigh* So I'm making brownies for the first day of school.
I guess that's it. I wish other people would post. Steph's fallen off the face of the earth. o.0
Or was kidnapped to Arabia by Ninja Monkeys...

13 for TDL

I'm back from my loonnggg vacation away from home. It's really nice to be back. But I have Cross Country camp on Wednsday. At least I'm getting SOME downtime in between.
Anywho, I'm currently reading Scott Westerfeld's "Midnighters" series. The whole series has this obsession with the number 13. In this book, 13 is the LUCKY number. And 12 is the worst. Which is awesome. I love the number 13.
Anyway, in the book, one of the things that repels the "evil" is the number thirteen. 13 letter words are used to repel the Darklings, as the forces of evil in this book is called. Anywho, in the book, there is this awesome word. TRIDECALOGISM. That's right. Tridecalogism is a 13-letter word meaning... a 13 letter word. How awesome is that? Individuality is a TDL. So is Splendiforous. Did I mention that Tridecalogism is a word created by one of the characters in the book? Sadly, it is not a real word. But it's still my new favorite.
If you can find any more TDL's, I'd like to know. I'll post the others that are in the book. By the way, a phrase mad of 3 TDL's works too. Like, "Magnificently Instantaneous Gratification". It has to make some sort of sense. Get it?
Well, I'm out, for now.
Later.
