wind poem
wind is caught in his hair
it lifts him above me
he looks down and softly says
"Leave."
so I do
but he did not want me to
because I hear a tear fall
it haunts me always

Welcome to the Sunday 160. Love your style. Thanks for playing.
<3
dang, tightly done 160 and certainly evocative...glad i spun back through Monkeys before bed...
Thank you so much, Mr. Miller.
I'm really glad I put something together before the day was through.
Great poem! I do not see myself participating in this art form, though, as I have enough trouble counting words, much less characters...
Devo-licious,
I just used my cell. I wrote it on my cellphone and it tells me when I go over 160. It tells me exactly how many characters it is. And, I don't have no fancy cellphone. But, if you are so inclined to participate, you can count that way.
And, now, I am off to fail my Biology test. As I did not study AT ALL. I'm hoping the train isn't crowded so that I get a seat and can briefly look over my notes as I shoot downtown. Cross your fingers and toes for me. I'm beginning to get the feeling that it isn't my kidney stone that is going to ruin my 4.0 this semester, it's going to be my complete lack of motivation in my Biology and Speech classes. I don't see the point in making kids take this shit. And, my Speech prof has the gaul to tell me, "This will be the most important class you ever take." He's really rather full of himself. I mean, yeah, in some respects I see it. And, maybe for younger kids, sure. But, his class isn't all full of just younger kids. It is in no way important that I am giving a speech to a bunch of young'uns about RHPS. Ugh. And, yes, I have to rant on my blog. It's the only place I really can. Ugh. And, not to you, dear Devo, just yeah. There are things I am growing to despise about that class. Both of those classes. Like in Bio last week, one of my lab group partners just got up and left ten minutes early. And, seeing as I was the only one in our group even figuring anything out, I don't get why my work has to give credit to these other kids. I really don't. It makes me not want to work at all. But, then that would affect me and that would suck. So, after I fail this Bio test today. I better get perfects on everything so that I can get an A still. Ugh. On my last lab I got 17 out of 15 and was the only one who got the bonus question. We only had one other lab partner that day, so I wasn't as frustrated. But, this last one I had three other kids. Ugh. I am so anti-social it isn't funny. And, this is exactly why. Okay, may alarm is going off to tell me that rant time is over. Sorry, comment arena. Sorry, Devo. I have no idea how I segued into this. Meh. I'm not even proof-reading.
Well, my nice long rant must have spun some magic into the air.
I am proud of my rant for possibly causing in any way the fact that our Bio exam has been happily moved to next Monday.
So, please stay tuned for a future dramatic nonsensical rant next Monday.
Thank you.
xo
Oh, right. My cell phone does that too. Maybe I'll give it a try.
I suspect you weren't really going to fail your Biology test, although you might have gotten a below-Strumpet-standard grade for not studying. Anyway, I'm glad you ranted it all the way into next week!
Yeah, now I'm procrastinating on writing my speech outline that is due tomorrow. I'm thinking I'm going to procrastinate until the morning. Even though I have logic homework to do as well. We'll just have to see how much I actually get done. I'm supposed to also watch some Obama speech that I don't give a fuck about for speech class as well. I'm apolitical. I may not do that part. I was sick on Thursday and I missed exactly what we're supposed to do, so this may be why I'm less inclined to do it, too. This professor doesn't post on Blackboard, so I blame him for not knowing how to communicate via the written word. He never shuts up. It makes his class very monotonous and boring.
Yeah, so I guess I just started blogging again so I can rant about school. Big surprise. Hopefully, I figure out how to work my external hard drive so I can shut up myself and start posting creative writing from the past year. I have so many cool pieces that I want to post. Maybe this weekend.
Uh Oh...
Strumpets coming out of her blogging shell...
It's GREAT to get the "Fun" literary juices flowing again eh Strumpie?
And another thing, My 160 was the aftermath of Gridiron Bliss and I took some 'numbers liberties' for that post only. You publicly busted me :P:P:P:P
Oh, that's not so bad, G-ster.
My first day back, my "55" was only 45 words.
From a certain perspective, it might be better to watch a speech that you don't care about for speech class. If you like or hate Obama, it would probably be harder to objectively analyze his delivery. But if you think the substance of the speech is pointless, you ought to be able to give your full attention to analyzing the techniques being used, right?
In my view, being apolitical is sort of like refusing to play the lottery because the odds of the desired outcome are so bad. It's an extremely rational stance that prevents you from wasting potentially valuable resources. But it does require you to close the door on one avenue toward untold riches/a better world. I haven't yet been able to take that plunge.
I very much like your analogy, Devo. I also think that living where I live has a lot to do with it, for if I lived in a differently-leaning state I might not be apolitical. Who knows, really? I did not watch the speech, and he didn't spend too much time on it today, so it was all very well and I felt a lot better because I was probably placing way too much thought on it. I need to spend more time practicing my own speech that I will probably have to give on Thursday. Boo.
Yeah, my home state kind of makes it pointless for me to vote too (in Presidential elections, at least).
Glad you didn't have to suffer through the speech!
Haha. My state leans the way I would lean if I were not apolitical. I am not sure how I would feel if I didn't lean the same way as my state and I was far outnumbered.
I will most likely have to suffer through my speech tomorrow. Boo.
Well, I'm sure even if you're suffering, you'll be delivering a better speech than most of your classmates. Good luck with it!
I'm not sure I could possibly say anything that would make you say, "You're right, Strumpet. Your speech is going to suck." Therefore, I shall just say that I thank you for your positivity. I wish I could be as positive as you. But, all I know, is that with all the medical problems I've been having, it's just really tough to even make it into class without crying. I'm seriously thinking of withdrawing for the semester until I figure out what is going on with me. My doctor told me today that he thinks my stone has passed. But, all my symptoms are still there and that means something else is really wrong with me if it's not still there. I had a CT scan today and I won't be able to find anything out until tomorrow. So, instead of working on my speech, or reading the logic I'm supposed to be reading, or even trying to memorize shit for Bio, I'm just sitting here freaking out because I don't know what is wrong with me and I don't give a fuck about my homework. This is so not like me and I don't want to be in school if I can't concentrate on it. I don't see the point. So, I don't know what to do. I can't handle it all at the same time. I guess, at some point, I'm going to have to write a post about all my medical symptoms. Maybe somebody will stumble on my blog with similar problems and I can get some advice.
I know it's not uncommon, if you have a prolonged aggravation of a nerve, for the sensation to persist after the physical cause is removed. Hopefully that's all this is and you'll feel your symptoms slowly decline.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
It's not pain-pain, it's more like I feel like I have to pee and that I've been holding it for days. Even though I don't have to urinate. When on the Flomax, this symptom is mild and it's only like, "yeah, I have to pee, but it's okay." And, at times, it even goes away completely. But, I'm sitting here feeling like I have to urinate badly even though I just went and I took the Flomax last night, so I know it's still there. This symptom has to do with the location of the kidney stone. It's stuck in my right ureter directly behind my bladder, so it's made its way most of the way down the ureter and the bladder feels like something is about to enter inside and that I should pee to get it out. But, if the kidney stone is gone, then something else is causing this sensation. And, when this sensation is bad, it's really bad and does become painful and I cannot function. So, I'm going to call my doc right now and see if he has any results from the CT scan back yet. I need to know what's going on. But, I'd love for this to be a nerve issue that will subside. I'd love for the kidney stone to still be there. I just want to know definitively what this is. Being as that I've been dealing with all this since April, and that I was misdiagnosed for quite awhile at the beginning--over a month--I feel like I'm getting into that whole misdiagnosis thing again. And, it's so trying emotionally. But, then again, I'm an emotional gal.
Unreliable diagnoses are a bitch. So's a complete absence of diagnosis. I had a wandering pain in my left leg for seven or eight years back in my 20s. They did bone scans and MRIs and said, "Well, maybe there's a little unusual articulation in one of your metatarsals," but basically they couldn't do squat for it. Eventually it just went away.
I hope this doesn't take that long!
Well, the kidney stone is still there.
I think surgery is in my very near future.
Boo.
At least, I know it's the kidney stone causing this. My doctor thought it was gone because it didn't show up on the Ultrasound I had a couple weeks ago. I had to beg him for the Flomax prescription. And, all his nurse said was, "You were right. It's still there." No apologies for not believing the girl with the actual symptoms. And, this is Northwestern, we are talking about here. Ridiculous. So, they caused me all this agony thinking I had something else wrong with me. Arrrrrggggghhhh.
I'm going to try and go back before my next appointment and get a copy of my CT scan report.
I call this double good news. Number one, they figured out what they need to do, and number two, you get to say you were right!
I'm just not sure when it's gonna happen. I don't even see my doc 'til the sixth, and that's only to talk about everything and whatever. I hope we schedule something that day.
It does feel good to be right, though. =P
This is lovely, Strumpet. Friggin' loverly.
Bonocapitano.
Words such as that, from you, Good Captain, mean so very, VERY much to li'l ol' me.
Good to see you. As always. <3
