Cheers to Marty Feldman

This is my latest attempt for my creative writing class. I chose to write a Spenserian sonnet about my thyroid-- I mean, what else?


No school, no life, just wasting time, but not
On purpose—no. How many times has this
episode played? The days blur. Did I miss
class again? A test? Oh well… I’d have thought
Myself to be more careful. Where’s my head?
Can’t focus—my eyes are affected—I
Know it’s not what you think. Discouraged by
Unhelpful doctors, I climb back in bed.
I’m nocturnal now. Emotions are prone
To extremes. Can you blame me? One listened.
Labs proved his inkling. Though I am frightened,
To know the throat-lodged butterfly alone
Is the culprit makes me oddly heartened—
It may be Grave, but better than Unknown.

I Have a Family Here on Earth

I was just organizing the folder in which I've stored the pictures that flip through on my screensaver, and when I was looking at pictures of Maine and my family, I was just overwhelmed with how much I love them and love that place. In honor of the people and place I love so much, I present you with...

Dab Family Picspam!

My crazy mom, little sister Lizzy, me, and Dad.

+ Andrew (might as well be our adopted brother) and Bonny the CUTEST DOG EVERRR

Hey, Tom Sawyer!

Pretty little Biz and most beautiful Mom EVERRR

Dad and me. Gross? Maybe.

Bizzy and me in A Christmas Carol last year

Bonny looking fetching on our dock in Maine

This is my house-- Provo, UT

Grammy Green (Mom's mom), me, and Biz after a performance

Mom (on the right) and her older sister Debbie

My cousin Maggie and Debbie

Debbie and my cousin Matthew. He's a DJ. He worked at Club Paris Miami.

Me and Dad's mom, Grammy Wib

This is my house where I live during the summer-- Waterford, Maine

All (yes, ALL) of the 1st AND 2nd cousins on my dad's side-- Biz, Brian (2nd), Sarah (2nd), me, Tim (2nd), Joe (1st), Brandt (2nd), Renata (1st), and Rex (1st)

Just kidding. We have one more 2nd cousin! Chloe, born December 2006 (the last of our generation-- Biz is the next youngest)

Grammy Wib, probably the last time she visited the cabin she and Grandpa built

Great-Aunt Fran in front of her 150+ yr old Maine farmhouse

My dad's cousin Barbera, Grammy Wib, Aunt Fran, and Dad's cousin Chip

Proud descendants of Minnie and Charles Hamilton

This is fun

1. Reply to this post and I will make you a 5-10 song playlist from my iTunes library.
2. If you like the list, I'll send you the songs that you don't have.
3. They can be any songs that I relate to you. That doesn't necessarily mean your favourite song but songs that make me think of you. I'll include a sentence or two, telling you why I picked that song.
4. No more than 2 songs by the same artist.
5. When I'm done, I'll save the playlists on my iTunes/iPod under your name and think of you when I play it.
6. If you get a playlist from me, repost this and do it for your friends!
