    Nice little musing, I must say. I like the picture, too. This can speak to anyone, I think. Part of all of us wants to wear our insides on the outside. Even the ones who hide behind their exteriors. Very nice.

    Yeah, those sweet boys are indispensable. I felt this way for a friend once, or at least similarly. One constructive thing. You used the wrong word…when you said “poring,” it should be “pouring.” Otherwise, nice job in relating to people.

    I don’t know enough Billy Joel to fully appreciate this. I’m singing “Lullabye” in choir, and it makes me cry because it’s that beautiful, but that’s the only Billy Joel song I know. I apologize.

    That reminds me, in middle school, I heard a lot of “I don’t know” responses from guys. Most of them were aloof people afraid of sharing themselves. I don’t know could’ve meant anything and it aggravated me to no end. So the exchange is fair, I think.

    In middle school, I hated how people delegated others to say they liked someone. Guys did it too! I, for one, refused to be the delegate, and I told the guy I liked (funny to look back on, now) that I did. Actually, I yelled it at him. Anyway.

    I don’t know…my dean wasn’t too bad. My principal was kind of scary. Freaked him out once in the hall, which was incredible amounts of fun. I didn’t like the comment that teachers deserve your respect sharing the same sentence as the paddling idea. Most teachers deserve respect because most teachers dish it out. At least they did to me.

    Middle school is dumb and the clique-iest situation ever. High school gets better, or at least in my town. People in middle school who fall under stereotypes try to, so they can get a handle on their changing persona. It gets better, Stovo. It does.

    I like the way this was almost poetic, and very easy to relate. I kind of want a story to go along with it, though. You know?

  28. On Waiting For You:

    posted about 1 month ago

    This is written a little awkwardly. I don’t like the repitition of “Hey” so many times, and I think it would look better in stanzas. The repetition might look a little more poetic, which I think is what you were going for. I do like the idea, though, and I can relate.

    I do concurr that the word choice could be better. I think you meant “entwine”, for one thing. Otherwise, kick butt discription of love. Very poetic. Reminds me of my friend, who has recently fallen head over heels. Makes ME happy, he’s so happy. This is like that.

    Spaces between sentences are nice. Please don’t feel tied down by grammar. Feel free- you can communicate. It’s freedom. Likewise, capitalization at the beginnings of sentences are lovely as well.

    OrangeOreos is right…you could take this anywhere. It’s almost like a thematic apperception test in that sense! It could be a literal dream-angel, or perhaps the “angel of death”, or it could be a loved one sweeping the narrator off her/his feet. Nice one.
