Falling Too Hard
November 13, 2010
When I fall,
I fall hard.
With him I'm falling off a cliff.
I try to catch myself with my arms.
It hurts like hell.
But better two broken arms,
Than a broken heart...
Right?

i guess you could use dashes when you wanrt to say 'by the way...' you should google it-dashes inpoetry. i didnt submit them, have to revise first. i get the meaning but idont know if anyone else will. i got a few that i wrote months ago but i cant think of a title.

Yeah did you submit it? and yeah im ok with commas but sometimes i get to thinkin 'should i put it here...or there?' but really im horrible about knowing where to put dashes -----
actually i did write two freeverses but nothing with the lines. the first one i wrote was about someone using a sewing needle and thread. i wrote it in drama class when i should've been taking notes, so as i was writing it instead of writing needle and thread i wrote needle and stage. thats how i came up with the title for the second one, which is kind of similiar. I dont really know how to use commas.

Indeed i am very negative! but it's funny because when i need to be positive and someone needs a friend and a smile in their life i'm a positive as it gets! it's so much easier to be positive for someone else than with myself :\ that should be my new year's resolutions: be more positive with myself!
well, maybe you could introduce your parental to the concept of 'staying home with bruisy purply sprained ankles'. you know what you sound like? "hmmm, i tripped and sprained my ankle on day two out of three hundred and sixty five. now from the #3 onward there 363 numbers, since they come after that number, whatever happened on day 2 must also happen all other days, cause putting a fork in a cherry pie makes the fork turn into a cherry pie right? -sorry about your ankle, you're too negative captain.

No haha not the dirty 'i didnt wash my hair' oily i have oily hair if i don't wash it every night so i don't have to ever worry about it getting dry just oily! Ah and i can already tell that this year 2011 is gonna be a bad one because Day 2 of the year 2011 I trip and sprain my ankle really badly and just got back from the doctor where he confirmed it was sprained. it's swolen and turning different colors and i gotta go to school tomorrow with a badly sprained ankle...joyyyy <---sarcasm
well, i've never seen my hair to be too oily. a few days after i put hair grow grease or bees wax in my hair it absorbs or whatever and my hair gets all dry and squeaky-like. actually the bees wax lasts on the roots of my hair for weeoks after i do it . strong stuff. but aside from my anti-hygiene perspetive, i dont wash my hair too often. maybe once a week or itll get all dry. if i dont wash my hair and it gets all oily then that would be kind of good cause then i wouldnt have to worry about it being all dry. but we'd be reffering to dirty 'I didnt wash my hair' oil wouldnt we?

haha AFRO!!! kiddin' that sounds kinda cool so you don't wash your hair that long and it doesn't get all oily? you're sooooo lucky!
well yeah, but actually i twisted it and had it like that for two weeks, then after i took it down it had that same 'i twisted my hair look' and i didnt do anything to it for two more weeks after that. so it was really like two weeks without the comb. but the thing is when i twist it, after four days it looks all frizzy, so you can imagine that after two weeks it looks kind of crazy.

haha four week??? no that's not special! so that dosen't count and i had my really good friend over and we made a toast to stuff with dr. pepper and stayed up til 2 a.m. lik we do every new year's eve/morning....really four weeks without combing your hair! what didja lose your comb? haha
i didnt even know it was new years eve till I was talking on the phone to my sister and she said something that made it possible for me to discern it was no longer 210-or what ever year this is, or...was. i suppose you wouldnt call going four weeks without combing your hair special so no, nothing out of the ordinary. et toi?

yes definately hoplessness! and thanks! yea i haven't had a conversation that flows so well either and i accredit that to your awesomeness! haha did you have a good new year's eve by the way? do anything special?
ive never had a conversation flow so good and normal. i accredit (if thats not a word i just made it one) that to your awesomeness. perhaps the second line should be something about hopelessness, like "yeah youre a loser, we know", but i still gotta capture emotion. they say thats what makes them good.
