this thing is being stupid and it won't let me post very well. the "enter" button won't work... grrr...

been talking to sydney, olivia, mark, garrick, duncan, and sam. i miss them so much!!! we're all planning a get-together, well, not sam, as he's going 2 italy on saturday and he's 5000 miles away anyway... :(

here's the other poem i wrote on the trip, and it's the one i've been planning 2 write for a while, called Bane of Ilios. tell me what u think

Bane of Ilios

Sing, o blessed one
Tell the tale of Troy, her course run
And of her cursed son
Paris, forsaken at birth

A mother’s warning unheeded
Firebrand indeed, you consumed your city
Dooming those that took you
Illustrious Hector, kind-hearted Priam

Alexander, why did you leave Ida?
Led by that delightful goddess
Tempted by the voluptuous beauty
Was she worth your world?

Scorning your virgin sister’s sight
Plunging Troy to her plight
Dardanus, your proud walls fallen
Your sons are no more

O Paris! She returned to Sparta
Yet your brothers return not from Hades
You lounge in your palace, in her delight
While they bleed, the land is stained

Alas, bane of Ilios, your name hated
A great lover nay, but a coward
Dooming magnificent Pergamus of yore
Known now only in lore.

sad thing is, i really don't wanna be here.. o, if u haven't noticed, i'm back, and not happy about it.

before anyone asks, england was so good that my words could not do it justice... now i'm depressed bcuz i wish i were there, where itz green, and not polluted, sticky, dry, hot, dead, and UGH!!!!! everytime i go to a car, i keep getting on to the left side, and my dad's like, "your not driving yet" and i keep thinking we're driving on the wrong side of the road.

i miss soo many ppl!! sydney and her sheep, sugar high olivia, lost taylor, mark and his matrix, Garrick's weapons of mass destruction, dunkin... i even miss the leaders, especially Roe! she owes us credit cards!!! i miss sam!!! i can't even read a newspaper anymore bcuz i think of him and want to start crying.

oo wrote 2 poems while I was gone, both on the coach rides.

i know, i know. most of u will tell me to "snap out of it" or "Get over it" or "u'll go to england again some day" but it won't be the same, not w/o all those ppl. i mean, i even miss Nicole, Cassidy, and other ppl that i never thought i would miss.

well here's one poem; wrote it on the coach, for a tree. yes i know, it was inspired by a tree, but it can be applied to many things. in a LotR sense, it could be the Elves, but it could just be the trees, it could be England overall, or even, in a weird way, ppl.

Remember Me
You pass me in the window
Basking in your magnificent splendor
Ageless, yet seen so much
The cycles of this world

Yet as I gaze upon you
Pain stabs my heart as I realize
Each look may be the last.
As the wheels of this life move on

I am taken far from you
Never again to share your company
Yet as the will is in me, I hold on
Desperately, for memories are all I have

Let them not gather as dust
Swept away by a passing breath
Alas, above all else, I doth pray
Remember me

happy fourth of july!!! one day late that is. i went 2 the movies w/ Kathleen yesterday, stayed there from 1:45 PM to 7 PM. wow, 5 hrs and 15 minutes! we saw Spiderman 2 (AWESOME) the Notebook, and like 30 minutes of Harry Potter 3 in between bcuz we needed 2 kill time.
Spiderman 2: LOTS OF ANGST!!!! ah i love it! depression, angst, romance gone wrong, until the end that is. MJ IS SOOO STUPID!!!!! I wanted 2 kill her about 4 times in the movie!!! ::sigh:: Tobey Maguire is awesome. its kinda scary how my mom's obsessed w/ him. him and Vin Diesel that is (yea mom.. their SOOOOOO alike!) kathleen kept complaining, "there's too much romance and angst and all your stuff and not enough action!" by the end of hte movie, i'm like, "Enough action for you?" and she's like, "hell yea"
but then, i REALLY got my romance/angst stuff in "the Notebook" which KATHLEEN ACTUALLY WANTED TO SEE AND LIKED!!!!!!!!! APOCALYPSE!!!!!! it was a sweet movie.. so sad, yet so sweet. i was crying @ the end, and kathleen kept making fun of me. it was sooo cute!!!! i wanted 2 kill the girl.. once again! women can be soo stupid some times!!! (i'm excluded of course... ::mischievous grin::) when we went to the bathroom after the movie, we were one of the 1st ppl there, and when i came out (cuz kathleen takes FOREVER) all the ppl in line were from the Notebook, and practically all the women had red noses/eyes from crying. i was like, "HA!!!! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!! TAKE THAT KATHLEEN!"

at In N Out afterwards (i know, burgers on the 4th of July) KATHLEEN will have this inscribed in her memory. i was carrying over three waters (me, kathleen, and my mom) and i made it from the water place, all the way to like 2 feet, TWO FEET!!!! away from the seat, and kathleen was like, "don't spill" and i dropped it right then and there. my feet were freezing!! WHY DID I HAVE 2 PUT ICE IN IT?! kathleen wouldn't stop laughing.

been packing all yesterday and today. i HAVE 2 have RotK on (in the background, of course...) when i'm packing, much to my mother's dismay. she calls it "useless noise" and i was soo infuriated i ignored her 4 about 5 minutes.. yea.. i promsied i was gonna watch it 1 last time b4 i went 2 England.. hehe. instead, i watched it THREE more times, w/ the behind the scenes things!!! hahahaahaa!!!!!! take that shilpa!!!

leaving 4 england 2morrow!!!!!!!!!1

sigh... ashley might not go to troy!!! noo!!!! save me!!!

i dunno.. i don't like Troy that much right about now, school, not ancient realm. hey, i figured i talked about Ancient Troy so much that u might mistake it. i mean, @ break and stuff, it's me, camron, chris, viraj, shilpa, lauren, sophia, and then all her friends. when the girls start talking, the guys go away a bit, and i try 2 follow them, but chris is like, "your a girl! hang w/ the girls." i'm like, "oh come on!" and w/ the girls, i find barely nething 2 talk about, and i don't feel comfortable there. it's basically i'm stuck in between them.

i don't want to disappoint my dad in so many things, but i keep thinking that i'm gonna fail. i mean, every night, trig, calc, chinese, all that stuff. what if i forget it all? what if i don't do well in trig and calc and stuff? i don't wanna let him down. he's spent so much, time and money on me.

wanna go see Spiderman 2, the Notebook, and Fahrenheit 911 this wkend!

leaving 4 England on tuesday!!!!! can't wait!!!
