But It's Mine

Well, today was pajama day, but I didn't bother. I never dress up for spirit week. I'm horrible, and probably the reason our class never wins anything, but I really don't feel like coming to school in my pajamas. I sleep in the nude, anyway (kidding) so they probably wouldn't appreciate that (the administration is rather finicky about those sorts of things.)

School is very, very nearly out now. Some ten days left. I can't believe I passed everything. Seriously, I'm shitless with surprise. Amnesty on my behalf for being a douche and not doing my homework.

I'm considering breaking down and buying a yearbook for the first time in forever on Monday. I don't really want one, I just want to have it signed. I don't know what that means, or what sort of judgement that passes on my character, but I really want that. Not the book. I didn't like the design this year, anyway. I've never liked yearbooks, because I take horrid pictures and all of the people I don't want to look at seem to be everywhere in them. The same is true this year.

But I'll see to that when it comes to that.

It's Friday, which means you get to read a haiku for my English class. I love haiku, because the five-seven-five pattern, being composed entirely of prime numbers of syllable, and culminating to a seventeen-syllable poem—also a prime number—really gets me.

At any rate, here it is:

the owl is still
nighttime, owl swoops down
up it comes, happy

there it is...shitty as all-get-out, but it's mine. I like it.

Matt, I've been reading Haiku longer than you've been alive. Believe me, that's a good Haiku you wore there. You're going to do just fine. You're ready for the big world. cheers, stephy

I have my yearbook from 1980. It's the only one I have and every now and again I look through it. I think it's a great investment. It's fun to read what everyone wrote in it. Nice Haiku, by the way!

I've always slept in the nude--even in the Marines!!!
The only year book I ever bought was my high school year book--I still have it (remember I was 17 and graduated in 1953)--every few years I look at it--don't remember ANYONE but do enjoy seeing my young picture, my ambitions and what I belonged to and did--worth the investment!

I love doing haiku. I have done a few programs at work with it. The teens love it!
I was one of those weird people in high school that wasn't superpopular but everyone seemed to get along with. I have fond memories of that time, but am glad to be in the now, too.

I've still got my year book from 1969. It's fun to look though it every once in a while to wonder what ever happened to.... and laugh at the fashions.
