Edmund Spencer- Sonnet 30

Hello people! It is finally Saturday! I had a good week, how about you? I took lots of pictures at school and the Colonel even asked me to apply to be the ROTC historian. On...Wednesday I think, I got asked to Homecoming. {Who asked you?} Well I'm going to give you the longer story. K asked my friend from journalism to the dance and she must've told him that I wanted to go with Cowboy. (Which btw I never said. She had told me that she thinks he will ask me and I was like cool, that's exciting.)
Tuesday comes and K comes to the place where we were eating lunch (My friend and I) and he has a purpose. So I ask, what are you here for? What do you want? Get to the point K.
(I'm not patient when I am eating.) So finally he is like
I'm going to ask [Cowboy] if he has a date for the dance, and hopefully he says no. Then I will tell him he should ask my friend [My name here], I think you two would get along real well. Then he will hopefully ask you and you're going to say no.
(I still don't understand why I was supposed to say no.)
Then next day I had gotten up in the middle of lunch to get a camera from my mom and was on the way back to my lunch when Cowboy walks up to me and says, "Question." I freeze mid step, turn my head and say, "Answer." He was getting increasingly awkward and was all, you don't have to freeze like that... so we went back to my food and he asked, "Do you want to go to the dance?" I replied, "Do you dance?" and guys, the boy is smart. He saved it LOL. He says, "No, but I can learn." So I said, "Yeah, I'll go." It was quick and simple lol, none of that flowery business that other guys do. (I'm not a flowery person, but I'll take a picture of it if I can.)
I got pictures of a girl saying no. I had to interview her afterwards and it was awkward. I am going to find a poem now by Shakespeare. Because I tried to think of one in science class but I couldn't. Better yet, this one is by Edmund Spencer. I love it so much. This is Sonnet 30

My love is like to ice, and I to fire;
How comes it then that this her cold so great
Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,
But harder grows the more I her entreat?
Or how comes it that my exceeding heat
Is not delayed by her frozen cold,
But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,
And feel my flames augmented manifold?
What more miraculous thing may be told
That fir which all thing melts, should harden ice,
And ice which is congealed with senseless cold,
Should kindle fire by wonderful devices?
Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind.

That is one of my favorite poems. Ice and fire. Completely opposite yet each strengthening the other. I hope you guys enjoyed it too. Have a good week!

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

Master's Camp 2018

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th per...
