Here are a few
Fall Haiku
For you

(Dear Grandma, here's
orange cheeks for
you. Love,
Willy)

Today I sniffle
And blow my nose a whole lot
Red nose like Rudolph

Puddles on the street
Where were you two months ago
Wet rain cold and rainy

Summer shrinking fast
To late dawn and early dusk
Autumn growing back

I am so glad that it is fall. Now, do not get me wrong, I love summer too, (spring and winter too, for that matter) but I think that I am ready for that change. It is a very romantic season, fall is, and even though I may not have anyone to be romanced by or go romancing with, the Though that someday I will is enough. That and I hope that someday I will not have any 'free falls' for a goodly sum of years, so I might as well 'live them up' all by my one-sie while I still can, and hope that he is doing the same.
I had an extreamly busy weekend (busy, in this case, referring to me being able to do [essentially] whatever it was that I wanted [i.e. sleeping, reading, watching movies, making scarves, watching Nelle's soccer game, washing the garage while blasting the Texaco opera, and (finally) going to lunch with a good friend]). I sincerely hope that all of ya's are doing well, and I would like you to know that I am too. I miss you, though, so shoot me an email or give me a jingle or send me something via snail mail. I promise I will get back to you (eventually...).

Ahoy, avast, and ARRRRrrrr mateys! I hope that all of ya's actively participated in 'International Talk like a Pirate Day'. If ye didn't then I swear by Blackbeard's (umm...) beard that I'll have the lot of yer scurvy hides walkin' me plank if I catches wind of it, savy?

Wowzas. How fast the weeks can fly. Mikey and I were speaking a few whiles back about whom in the dorm would be whom in Lewis Caroll's "Through the Looking Glass". He would be the mouse (twinkle, twinkle, little bat...) and I would probably best fit Alice. I definately feel as though I have fallen into wonderland, a whirl of new experiences and opportunities that I am for once taking, and the more I accept it, the more it throws at me to see how I will react and if I will accept that as well. A perfect circle. (Actually, not at all, more like a downward spiral, however, it just so happens that I am listening to A Perfect Circle at the moment, and thought I would casually slip it in.) Real smooth... me to a tee(tea? hmm sweet and spicy please because that's the way, uhuh uhuh, I like it). Alright, so my goal for next week is to get at least one of my college apps. completed. By the way, I will be appling to Macalester, Northwestern, U of M, and possiblymaybebutitissofrickin'faraway Northern Arizona University. The first two are the ones that I most want to get into while also being the two that I have the most doubts about in regards to my getting accepted into them. My numero uno reason for being hesitant about NAU is that it is so far away, and also that it is not within half an hour of a 'big city'. Well, I really need to be wrapping things up here, but tomorrow I will try to possibly write about my biggest adventures in wonderland during the past two weeks.

A new equation I discovered for myself over the past two weeks is thus: sleep (or the state of being well rested)= happiness. I have found that when I am not well rested, I enter into a very unhappy relm, thereby creating a very unhappy aura and in doing such, making others unhappy too, (I think). Either that or they just do not notice, which is the more likely case, or maybe they do notice, but they just do not want to ask, which is for the better because even if they did ask, I would probably just say, " I am fine, just tired, yourself?". I do not like feeling like I am pushing my problems onto other people. So I just tell them what I think that they want to hear so as to not make their lives more miserable. Or maybe they do not ask because they are just as unhappy as I am and I am the one doing the not noticing.
I just need more time. Time management skills, that is! More sleep would probably do me a world or two of good as well. I also got my hair cut, so maybe that will help.
