this short poem is an experiment
an attempt to show you how life has been
changed my major now i am free
to do what means something to me
bought a brand-new iPod touch
decided boys were just too much
stopped biting my nails, and it is true
that i ended the reign of cutting too
some relationships came to an end
but i have beautiful, faithful, kind girlfriends
life is no longer about me, Jennifer
but the One who calls me his own daughter
the One who for me continually searches
with His Son’s blood i have been purchased.

i went into class and my group was presenting our project.
today.
i didn’t know what to do so i turned around and walked out of the room.
i thought for sure the presentation was on thursday.
i feel terrible. life sucks lately, i’m discovering.
wow, what a pointless post.
next one will be better. promise.
it’s not 2009 quite yet. but i am starting over today.
this is about choices. it’s about self-control, and putting my life back together.
picking up the pieces. rebuilding.
here goes…
so i did an interesting thing today.
i created an account at CNN’s ireport. “news happens everywhere,” they say. and your story could be posted on CNN itself!
so i says to myself, “self, you could do this. or at least attempt. hey it could be fun.”
ta-da!
i tried to delete this blog because i felt it was becoming an addiction. unfortunately that didn’t work. so i am back after a long break.
several notable things have happened within the past month or so…
1. had a short relationship. devastated him.
2. bought a goldfish, which i named spartacus.
3. been baking cookies every wednesday.
4. i sketched what i want to paint on my 4×4 canvas.
…and i have made some crucial decisions…
1. i am no longer going drink or be anywhere where alcohol flows freely.
2. (well, actually that’s about the only major decision.)
i couldn’t sleep so i wanted to post this, i’ll probably write a little more later but for now i’m getting tired again.
