"Oh a long, long time ago I can still remember when that music used to make me smile..." --American Pie by Don McLean

It's been quite a while since I've updated this journal. It's been quite a long time since I've submitted anything. Mainly in the past two years I have just made comments, favorited things, and critiqued to some extent. But those things happen when you begin to grow up. I have written much in the past two years either. Just within the past six months or so I have produced one or two decent poems and have only written a total of about 6 in general.

What I've been up to since I haven't been writing:
1. I graduated from high school in 2006. Top 7% of my class. (Yay!)
2. I've started attending college and this year will be my second year at Clarion.
a. I've never realized how busy college would be. I hardly have time to read, let alone write.
b. I've done really well there. Though I always have. Dean's list 2 semesters.
c. Lately the poetry produced have been about classes and missing home. I went away to college and it's not always easy when you're friends can go home but you can't except for holidays or for sad circumstances.
d. I have lost 2 grandparents within 6 months of each other. Depresses one a good bit and stiffles the mind.
3. I've met a great guy finally and yesterday, the 5th, was one year.
4. I hope to write more this semester to help clear my head. Even if it's crap. Though the crap won't be posted.

Anyway, I hope all those who watch me and read what I do/did produce are in excellent health and may the creativity flow!

Sincerely,
