You opened your umbrella...

And we walked, between the raindrops, back to your door.

Ah, what a great album! Donald Fagen, "The Nightfly". It's really a classic. For me, anyways.

As always, I'm busy Mondays, so I don't have a whole lot of "blog time", however I do have a poem I wrote! It's not dark like Jon's (who never comments anymore. Ah well, I guess he's a little old for that), It's kind of funny. In a wierd way...

"Scale Factor"

Things are small.
Not really small.
But small none-the-less.

And people make them bigger.
Not all people.
But people none-the-less.

And when people
(not all people)
Make things bigger than they are.

Then life gets...

Harder.
Not a lot harder.
But harder none-the-less.

And it's not that hard to stop making things...

Bigger.

It's really not.

But people do it anyways.

Life is hard enough as it is,

And when you think like an eighth grader,

Things,
Not all things
But most things

Are bigger than they really are. Harder than they really are.

So stop.

Stop making things bigger.

Life is short.
Not that short,
But short none-the less.

Huh? Huh? Yeah.

Well, last feature. This week is thanking my wonderful fans here at 4YA. So anyone who comments their name on THIS, and only this, post, gets a paragraph written about them, and their relation to me (nothing dangerous or personal). Yes, I did steal this from Serena.

Oh, last note: That girl Becky, from "CrushedByACrush" Xanga, is sad. Justin dumped her. So go say a nice word, will you? Then she'll be touched but creeped out. On the comment board, or maybe even the little "chat room" on the side if you don't have a xanga. Here's the link.

I find it scary that you actually keep up with Becky's blog. Maybe it's just me, but isn't it sort of strange that she's had two boyfriends in the past two weeks?
Regarding Tim: It seems you have a secret admirer. :-P
Hm...that's all I've got. For now. Later, I may have something else to say. But not now.

Actually. . .I think you stole it from Serena who stole it from Hong who stole it from Carissa who stole it from Steph who stole it from Alice or something. . .but ya, do me. And yes, I already know I talk fast. . .=P
Interesting story, Maddie.
Sam, get well soon. I left a message for you on my blog actually. . .basically telling you and Maddie and Jeff to get better soon because school is sooooooo much more quieter (this is why I'm never absent. . .haha) and English class isn't the same w/o Maddie. . .but ya.

I should actually say "feel better soon" b/c saying get weel soon makes it seem like you broke your leg or something. . .so ya, Sam, feel better soon.
