Poetry as I edited Wikipedia

A fanciful dog smoking a pipe, used for a Flash project I'm working on.

It’s been a while since I last posted. School has been going good. I’m currently home sick, and Thanksgiving is coming up tomorrow. I’m really excited that my cousin Brent is coming over. I’m making him a surprise. In the meantime, I am editing Wikipedia for a bit in a long time. While I was looking through the Sandbox I decided to write some poetry, but it would have probably gotten stolen if I posted it in the Sandbox, so I’m posting it here.

A million pears sat down to lunch
And they were very angry
They didn’t have a single mouth
But yet they caught the gangrene

I wished on a beautiful star one night,
I wished for the comfiest bed.
The star was really a meteorite
And it struck me right in the head.
So now I walk with a stagger demand
And a space rock lodged into my brain
My bed is the comfiest bed in the land,
But I wish that my wish was in vain.

Birthday and Voyager Marathon

Ah, today was a good day. We drove down to Adventureland USA for Nevvy’s 6th birthday party, in the pouring rain and high winds. It was great. We used our card passes and lots of tokens, and we won about 1340 tickets from playing Skeeball, dumptrucks, and the token pusher machine. For all my tickets, I recieved a cowboy hat, a whoopee cushion, and some cotton candy.

Our dogs were really glad to see us when we arrived home. Now I’m watching Star Trek: Voyager on the downstairs TV. Season 2, disc 4. Prototype was an amazing episode.  Robots fighting robots for their programmed ideals. I just finished watching Alliances, and it was pretty good too. But personally, I’d like to see more non-humanoid aliens serving in Starfleet and on Star Trek. Giant snowflake people and anglerfishes, pan-dimensional Teddy bears, microscopic organisms which form into a single being, sentient aliens that walk on four legs and secrete glue from all orifices, and a race of water-breathing sea turtles. I’d seriouslyenjoy watching it more, if at all possible.

Aliens are really cool. There needs to be more than just rubber foreheads and ears, I’m talking different body structure. Something with four legs in a square and two boneless arms. A brittle sea star alien whose face is on its backside and walks in cartwheels. Giraffe women with four-foot necks and legs.

Anyways, I’m watching Threshold now. Looks to be good. I’ll see you later.

Inspired Poetry After Rereading my Childhood Classic Books

I was up late watching Psych and it was AWESOME. It was very suspenseful and scary, and I was elastic (elated/ecstatic?) about it. Then I went upstairs to see if I could find some of my childhood classics, such as Where the Wild Things Are, due to the new movie. Turns out my mom had given it away, dangit. But I spent about 20 minutes reading some of my favorites, which now seem very distant and strange. Why do the bears sitting in chairs not wear clothes but the rabbits do? I read some Dr. Seuss which had me LOLing. One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is an amazing book. Complete non sequiturs, talking about all those strange and wonderful creatures using simple words. I will want to show these books to my kids.

I wanted to write some poetry when I started inscribing this post. I’m not so sure, and that’s my ADHD. People go around on the internet saying that they’re crazy and random, but all they’re really doing is undermining their diagnosis or lack thereof, undermining actually insane people who are not to be laughed at, and undermining English convention for using a term which is meant for math and physics, not spouting unrelated nonsense with inherently funny sounds. “CHICKEN PICKLE POT PIE PANTS” may be non sequitur, but it isn’t random. I hate those people as much as I love them.

Oh crap, now I got off topic. Curse you, my train of thought took a wrong switchpass. It didn’t derail, because then I would be a mile away already. It’s late and I’m tired. But I will write poetry. I’ll write poetry.

Here’s a Lorp.
It must go chorp.
It plays the harpsichord.
And when it stops
Running high warp,
It will get very bored.

That’s a Muyb with pointed toes,
It pokes them in the frozen snows.
The snow is cold, its toes have froze,
And then it licks the icy floes.

I need a ferro, come quick now!
My train has crashed into a cow.
The iron horse will just not move,
It got its wheel stuck in a groove.
The wheel is square, you ferros say?
That’s why the train has to delay.
I can imagine nothing worse
Than crashing cows into a horse.

Sit down, sit down,
You’re much too fast!
You need to sit
To sign my cast.
My arm was broke
Upon the swing,
When I flew out
And with a zing,
I crashed into
A rocky cloud
It really was
A hill aloud.

That’s all the poetry I have right now. Good night, people.

Adapting is one thing…

Well, hey there, Blog. This is a new thing for me. For the last year or so I’ve been used to microblogging on Twitter. Twitter is fun, Twitter is good. But I decided to get a blog for no apparent reason. Just wanted one. I am, as many teens are, a completely different person online than in real life.

But it is hard for me to convert my small, truncated thoughts to long drawn out paragraphs. Certainly, I don’t wish to bore you. But it will take time before I am satisfied with my writing on this webbernet thingy. No emoticons.

Adapting is one thing… living with it is another.
