Poetry is on the way!

Yo! I'm sorry I haven't really "upheld" my promise to try and blog every week, considering the fact that I totally forgot about this old thing last week. But I have some new poetry on the way, and I have a bit of news so just listen to how life has been the last few weeks!

Well, I recently had to re audition for dance troupe, and I made it! I'm really excited for next year, and I think it's going to be really exciting. Here are the list of people who made it: Maggie, Sharice, Emily, Channing, Isys, Daphanie, Lizzie, Mikayla, and yours truly. I hope we keep our uniforms from this year, or at least just switch tops and poms, because they cost a ton!

I got an Instagram and I would appreciate it if you followed me! I'm: bookworm08. My profile picture is of Chris and me and I'm holding up a folder thing. I'm gonna post on Versagram the blog link so hopefully more people will come and read my stuff. I have about 30 followers as of now, and it's really fun and cool. It only works on smart-phones and iPad's, so if you don't have an IG feel free to get one, because they really are fun. I'm really unhealthily obsessed. Enough said.

I started a new series this week!!! It's the "Graceling" series, following Katsa and her friend Po. Set in medieval times, Katsa is trying to figure out what to do with her power of killing. Her uncle, King Randa, uses her as his "thug" and sends her to the other lands in the Middluns to hurt or maime the other lords who don't listen to his commands. It's really good, but it's got a lot of violence in it....

I've got to go now, I'm in english again and the bell is about to ring!!! Who's got INTENSE summer fever? LIVI!!!!

Bye!

New Poetry, English Class Blogging!

Here I am, blogging in English class. Many of us had to finish a SUPER hard English quiz online (only missed four!!), and when I was done I asked her if I could blog. She said okay, because she is awesome that way. Chris is sitting next to me, trying to prove to his brother he can type a whole paper on riots in history, and I'm writing poetry on a word document. Miranda is to my right, reading the last book in The Skinjacker Trilogy, on my request. She brought it in from the library and I started freaking out... She looked at me like I was insane, which, on occasion, I am.

I know, I am a terrible person for not blogging, and I really should be, but our computer is stupid and decides to disconnect from the internet everytime I try to get on it. Thankfully, not much exciting stuff has happened. I cleaned my room, which I suppose is a pretty good accomplishment- no. I lied, my mom cleaned it while I was in Amarillo on a choir trip. We ranked highest in our region! Take that Hutch!! (aka our rival school). We had our dance recital last night, and I was in five of the ten dances, which I must admit makes me really worn out. The left and right sides of my brain are battling each other, so I feel weird, and I have an outrageous headache, so sorry if this isn't that interesting.

Last night, me and this dude Lucas were having a poetry battle over e-mail, because we are to cool for texting (Maybe). Here is my favorite poem out of six that I came up with in five minutes: (Haven't thought up a title. Suggest some in the comment box?)

A wink from his searing blue eyes,
A glint from his glasses.
A flip of her rosy red hair,
A laugh escaping her lips.

A suggestion of a good book,
A smile after a storm of peaches.
A solo escaping his throat,
A squeak of his saxophone.

My four best friends.
This is how they create my life.
This is how it is joyous.
This is how I stay whole.

In the first stanza the order goes: Chris, Lucas, Kennedy, Marlowe. In the second stanza the order is: Marlowe, Kennedy (If you read this do you get the inside joke?? :D), Chris, Lucas.

Rachel just dropped a laptop, and mine just made the loudest beeping noise ever, while everyone is taking tests. I told you computers hate me!

I have to go, we only have about ten minutes before I have to go dance.

Stay amazing,
Livi
