scary. oh me.

i thought i'd write something real and recent--those poems were written years ago. they are good and random and worth considering though, so i'd consider them, if i were you. no, if you were me. if we were the same person. but really, what's the point of that? so, you decide whether to consider the poetry or not. i won't decide for you.

so, my college applications are almost complete. it's a scary thought: me, going off to college. no, but that's something my sisters did. they, not me. going to college always seemed that far-off goal, one that i've been working towards my whole life it seems. now it's right in my face. it's at the door, a door i've created. actually, a couple of doors. applications open doors. which door do i step through though? i'm still thinking. i'll be thinking for a while.

it's a big step. hopefully i won't stumble and fall down the stairs. that would hurt.

fake.

this is a post. just to see what it'll look like.

also, some poetry, for your reading pleasure.


WINTER wobbles in,
not sure what to do.
It decides to get angry,
and storms about the room.
It finally gets exhausted
and sits for a time,
then stumbles away and melts into spring.
