Haiku

What kind of friends do you have? Are they the ones who strengthen your resolve, or the ones who hold you back? In my class we read the narrow road of the interior, which is interlaced with many haiku poems. I thought I would finish off the experience with my own poem. 

Touching the bright moon
We have few limits, but friends
Anchoring us down.

Are your friends good or bad in this poem?

    Laura,

    You stopped by my blog and told me about the phrase "emerging-teen" books. I like that so much. Thanks for giving me the heads up and for visiting my blog.

    Best,
    Lois

Pickles

Choosing a default random topic can be fun. It’s just that sometimes you can't always think creatively on the spot when you need to change topics.

(When he asked her what she liked to do, her response was, “Make-out.”) At first, I thought she was kidding, but then there was an awkward silence and I knew that this was no jest. With my back-up already in mind, I blurted out, "I like pickles—a lot!" My date started laughing, as did his friend. Thankfully my strange comment was outlandish enough to drop the other topic as I went into explicit detail. Despite this experience, I am ready to move on from pickles. If you have any recommendations for random topics, please feel free to comment. However, since pickles and I have a long history of randomness, I feel like a far...

Horror Stories.

I just recently finished reading Dracula by Bram Stoker, and lets just say it put me in a "horror" mood. When my teacher asked us in our English class to write about things in an elevator.

Dracula was an extremely good book, which I highly recommend. However, I shouldn't read too many more horror stories--I don't seem to escape them very well.
