The Mindless Rantings Of A Poet's Soul

A space for the unwanted rantings of a poetic soul of sorts that is having a hard time following the path of life set beneath her own bare feet, stumbling wearily along the way and sharing her thoughts in her own space.

MAJOR SPOILERS (MY SYNOPSIS OF LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING

*sings* I saw Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, on the 17th. It was absolutly amazing, the best movie ever. Once I got out of the theater, I wanted to go right back in and see it again. Pippin actually sang, and so did Aragorn! Pippin looked into the palantir (there's an awesome shot of him writhing on the floor) You get to see Bilbo again, and Merry and Eowyn slay the witch-king! Merry is behind the witch-king, and he stabs him in the back, and Eowyn is standing in front of him, beside the fallen Theoden, and the witch-king goes "No man can kill me!" Because he still thinks that Eowyn is a man, because of her disguise, and she pulls her helm off, golden hair falling, and declares "I'm no man, I'm a woman!" and she kills him with one plunge of her sword. Faramir and Eowyn fall in love! Aragorn leads the army of the dead. The ring is destroyed when Gollum bites off Frodo's finger! (One hell of an awesome close up of his finger, a bloody stump!!) Sam saves Frodo, and then they are in turn saved by the Eagles. Merry, Pippin, Frodo, and Sam go back and set the Shire to rights, Sam gets married and has a daughter, and then, finally, and sadly, Frodo, Bilbo, Gandalf, Galadriel, Celeborn, and Elrond, go off to the grey havens. All the hobbits are crying, and then, as if it weren't sad enough, Frodo goes "I saved the Shire, Sam, but not for me." And there, I let loose one long flow of tears. Aragorn is crowned King of Gondor, and he slowly approaches the hobbits. As he does, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin go to bow, but Aragorn stops them. "It is not you who should be bowing, but me." He said, and bowed, and when he bowed, all of Minas Tirith bowed. It was absolutly amazing. There's also this awesome shot of Frodo in Shelob's web, where he's deathly pale. Sheblob was spectacular. And you get to see Smeagol and Deagol before the ring corrupted Smeagol, in the very beginning. This movie is absolutly spectacular, and in every aspect the best creation of cinema ever. It will blow your mind, your seat will be shaking, you will not be able to let your eyes stray from the epic battle scenes for one moment. It's a clash of emotions and feelings on horseback in the greatest cinematic battles ever. I bet, at one point, you'll realize that your mouth has been hanging open for 20 minutes because you just couldn't believe what you just saw on that screen. And you'll probably cuss more than once in amazement. But, if you do go to see this movie, don't run your mouth the whole entire time about, no one really cares how you feel about the parts with Sam, they want to feel the emotions for yourself. (There's was a real over-emotional woman behind me who couldn't stop her mouth) If you end up seeing this movie, and don't see the magic in it that everyone else in the theater sees, don't ruin it for your fellow movie watchers, please, and heed the sharp glances that may be shot at you.

Well, that story I wrote for Mrs. F's class was so amazing some of the words I used stumped some of the teachers, and they've ordered another copy of my book for the school library to keep. I'm on the rocky road to writing stardom, I guess, starting out small, being ripped off by major corporations and international societies, who'd like to put my poetry on CD after CD and expect me to pay them for a copy of the CD, not giving me a freaking dime. I'm doing this all about me project in Mrs. F's class now. The funny thing is, however, that my life is pathetic, boring, and in some ways sad. But hell, I dazzle and razzle my project up with Matrix pics, LOTR pics, POTC pics, and pics of my dog.

12 more days of my suffering, and then, alas, all will be well, for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King comes out on the 17th, and I will finally get to see the ending on the big screen, I am both anxious, and sad.

I'm a big dork. However, I won't elaborate here. But hey, at least I'm not like Claire, at least I'm happy to be myself.

Tis that time again. Where, in the misery of a bloated stomach, I reflect upon how outrageously useless my existance can be. I mean, today, what have I accomplished but sitting on my ass and crocheting? Absolutly nothing. Aye, mate, the evil Thanksgiving Day pie is taking it's revenge.. I seriously wouldn't doubt it if I've eatten more than 5 slices, if I were daring, I might go up to 10, which is probably why my stomache's giving me hell right now. I haven't even written any of my book today. Which, is 27 pages, so far, just in case you really cared. I, however, manage to get some work on my website down. Hey, now there's a plus to my pathetic existance. I don't believe I'm usually like this, but I'm half asleep right now and in a bad mood.. well.. not a bad mood, more like a self-loathing mood. I'm going to gorge myself on quizzes, so have seeing my results. Maybe you'll be inspired, which I seriously doubt, since I can't see myself inspiring anything, my character, Aerandir, seems to be the one who could help you in that area.. but she'll be soon attempting scuicide, so a guess she really couldn't work any of her inspiring magic on herself.

solitary
Your soul is bound to the Solitary Rose: The
Alone.

"When I wake up alone, the shades are still
drawn on the cold window pane so they cast
their lines on my bed and lines on my
face."


The Solitary Rose is associated with loneliness,
melancholy, and patience. It is governed by
the goddess Merope and its sign is The Sword,
or Unrequited Love.

As a Solitary Rose, you may be summed up as a
hopeless romantic. You desire love and have so
much love to give, but thing just never seem to
work out the way you want them to. In life,
you can be very optomistic, even when things
are gray and nothing works out to your
expectations.

It's been a bad day. But, a good thing happened to me. We're writing stories in Mrs. F's class, so I let her read mine. She said it was awesome, there was nothing about it that she would have changed, and she wants me to check into publishing. It boosted my self-esteem a lot, since the best publishing deal I've gotten is from Poetry.com, which, is a RIP OFF! You don't get paid anything for poems, they just use you.

I'm going to murder the person who wrote the Oscar Meyer Weinner song! Grr..

My lifelong goal is to become a hermit. I want to go to Duke, establish a good career, and then go off into Ireland and find me a sea-side cave dwelling and stay there, writing my stories, and sending them off to my publisher. I don't want to ever have contact with human kind, with the exception of Sam, ever again. Sam will be scouting out areas when she visits Ireland this summer, so I can go ahead and start looking into purchasing my land. I am also deadly serious about this, as well. I HATE PEOPLE!

Neopets - Neopian Adventure Generator

Alright, I've got a lot beef or rant about today. This day was horrible for me. I get to school, turns out I got a 75 on my algebra test. Legolamb's got her freaking contacts on. She can't stop smiling. I'm tempted to wipe the grin off her face with a swipe her hand. She hadn't started wanting contacts until I was talking about getting them. Of course, though, I've got to wait until I'm in 8th grade and it's been a year since I got my glasses. Well, I've got my appointment the 16th.. but wouldn't you believe it, little Legolamb decides she wants contacts, complains to little mommy, and bam, she's got them. I was talking about getting cable internet, they were supposed to install it the friday after Hurricane Isabel. It's been about 3 weeks, and no cable internet. Guess who's got her cable internet now? It's just entirely unfair. I've got to wait, earn, and excercise restraint before I get the things I want, and Legolamb simply asks for them and she's got them. I had to harrass my mom for weeks, no, for months, to get me a new sweatshirt before she finally bought me one yesterday. Now, mark you, this is something I actually needed. Lauren decides she wants her room re-done, and she's got it done by the time school starts, in tye-dye, which, she's got to be constantly bragging about. I started my room 2 summers ago and still haven't got the comforter that matches my sheet set. Not to mention, we haven't painted my room at all, and I don't have any new accessories. She's so out in the world for herself. She can't show any sympathy for anyone else. I told her I've got a cold, a very bad one, my nose is swollen, snot is coming out like you wouldn't believe and I have a horrible headache, in excuse for my even more distant actions. She doesn't say, "Oh, I'm sorry," or "Okay, I'll give you some space", it's just her usual complaint "I've got a cold too.. everyone feel sorry for me because I've got a tremendous stick up my ass and not even my pshycho-therapist mommy can manage to pull it out" and she remains in my face bragging about tofu and her tye-dye room and loose and nice and incredibly considerate of people she is. Oh, and she calls herself "laid back" and a "romantic". And I've got my head on my desk, or banging it into a poll thinking "What the hell gave her the idea I care?!?"

"I sometimes cry easily, and I am kinda sensitive, especially when it comes to people I am close to. I can't stand to see someone hurt. I get mad and jealous easily and I'm not that modest, and those are my main bad qualities, aside fr. I hate lieing, and I have a really powerful consciounce, which sometimes gets annoying. I am loyal to God, and don't cuss (or try not to), and try not to sin. I sometimes want to become a nun, but other times I feel that that is not what I want to do with my life. I like to sing, and draw, and I like to read. I sometimes write, even if I am not that good. I want to learn to divination, because it interests me. Some people think they know me, but they don't, I am always surprising them. I also need to be a little more modest. I am shy around strangers, but rather loud around people I know. I usually put other people before myself. I Can't fit anymore!"

She's such a fake. That was her AOL description. She makes herself out to be some perfect person, because she's on this ever going quest to be perfect. She's all preppy. It's sad.. because I believe that at one time she was a good person, though, not during any of the time that I knew her did she exhibit any good qualities. I wish she'd just go join the cheerleading squad since she claims to be "cheerful". Yet, she's the same person, who, if one little thing went wrong in perfect life, she has a fit, all mopey and depressed, stomping around in her six inch heels because she had her period. My sanity.. if I did that, my feet would hurt. I know what it's like to be let down, I know what it's like to hit puberty.. and I accept it as a part of my life. Failure, disappointments, and low self-esteem are part of my everyday ritual.

She's also calling me short all the time. It gets on my nerves so badly. I'm not short. I'm fucking average height. How would she like it if I went around saying "Legolamb, you're fat!" or like that kid in The Wedding Singer, and run up to her say "You're a bitch." I'd send her into another 30 journal entry period of depression, because she can't handle real life. She'll deny anything you say about her because lying is so easy for her. I absolutly hate her, I wish she'd just leave me alone. But, she can't. I've moved on from our "friendship" but she still hangs there. Ha, my new best friend understands me, reassures me, and is there for me. All of which Legolamb never was.

Though, here's something that made me happy. I was telling Maria about how legolamb won't stop bothering me about my height and Maria gets up and shouts across the Mr. K's class. "Hey! Legolamb! Look at me! I'm short too!"..
Maria's a great person.

I think I'm done, I hope Legolamb reads this.

Gandalf Template

Heh, that template is my own creation! I'm so proud of myself. I haven't posted often because I've been busy. I finished my novel, right, and then I did my project. Well, I spent a lot of time on my project and did my very best on it and turned it in 2 days early. I got a 100 on it, and my teacher, on the grading rubric, wrote "Awesome" "Very Nice" "Good" and "Excellent" beside each assignment. I dreamed of that happening, but didn't actually believe I'd do that well. By Friday she had already bragged about me. I am so proud of myself right now. I also got another poem published. It's been a generally good week for me. I got my locker open, which had been stressing me out a lot. I redeemed my own from the 60 on my quiz, and got a 100, and then, another 60, but I think I aced the test. At least, I really hope I did. It's algebra, and I think I can keep my grades up above a C. Algebra is the first class I've actually had a hard time with. I'm doing excellent in Mr. Kiaja's class.. and I'm in the spotlight again. I wrote a mere 89 words about how Confuscius's quote applied to my life, and I'm now the writer.. I wrote about a how I didn't get published my first time, and then, my second time I did. That is, however, a complete lie, I just couldn't think of anything else. My first time I did get published, and then, ironically, that day, I recieved my publication evaluation form for my poem "Unhealed" in the mail. That is really odd. I didn't have much hopes of it getting published, it was a simple "get it off my mind" sort of thing. Maybe this is really the beginning of a future and great career, at least, I hope. I really, really, want to be a writer. It's my dream. I know what I have to do to get there, and I'm on my path. Sam thinks she's going to move at the end of this school year. I really hope not. I don't want to lose another best friend and end up with 3 years of grief and poetry writing. I just seems that just when things are going good, that shadow in the corner of my mind gets bigger. I've come to accept the fact that I'll never really defeat that shadow, but there's the slimmer of hope in the back of my mind, like the hope of someone whose lost a loved one, they still sort of believe they can come back, and I still sort of believe that I can conquer that shadow. The good times really get my hopes up, and then, when I hit a depressing stage, it's like a bomb was just dropped right over my head, and it hurts even more because I thought the controversy was over, and that nothing bad could ever happen. And then there's that painful healing cycle, sometimes even worse than when the bomb hit, where you come to grips with it. Then, you get to confident, and the circle begins again. That's what life is, after all, one big circle. Which also adds to the fact that everything in nature is spherical or cylindrical.
