Today, on 5/28/08, I have 1,000 Pageviews to my name.

Cool. Thanks, viewers.

Yesterday, January 15th, was my first anniversary with Jared, my friend, my hero, my muse, and my love.

Thank you for this year, darling. I love you.

For the last couple of days, I have been a mediocre-poetry-writing machine. Since I've been home, I have written, let's see... two fixed rhyme, three haikus, and a sestina. Yes, a sestina. Do not ask me why, but I felt myself possessed with an urge to write a sestina. I had to look up exactly what a sestina was-- it's weird and kind of byzantine --but once I knew the form I wrote one, and I actually kind of like it. The rest are pretty average, but I like the sestina.

Even though not much of it's good, I'm glad I'm writing so much. Because every word you write makes you a better writer. So maybe if I keep it up with the poetry I'll eventually improve at it. I hope I can keep this up.
