Hello! Long time no post! the last time i posted was in May and here it is June! I cant believe the year is half way over!
LOST is over for the year
. I LOVE the season finally. I loved the ending and cant wait fir the next season. I was So glad Sawyer didnt die. He actually did something heroic. Clarie showing up in Kates dream. Weird! I think that she is dead, which saddens me cus i liked her. I thought it was interesting that she was not on the helicopter like Charlie for saw in his vision. Anyway, Ben is dead! Wow! How did he get of the island? how did he get off the island?? Also, Sun working for Widmore. Is she turning to the dark side or is she going to double cross him???? Next season will be good.
We finished school last Friday, but i started back up again on Monday. I am doing Math, French, and history reading which adds up around to 2 and a half hours of school each day. Not that bad. I am looking forward to the summer though. I LOVE summer. I wish we had a pool, but we dont. We were going to get one this year but our yard cant hold it because of where the septic is. Mom might buy a little pool for the boys. I am hoping to find some place to go swimming around her. We have a local pool but, not for nothing, it is NASTY! It turns an interesting shade of green by July, so i will not swim in it. There might be some lakes around here but i dont know where. Promise land state park is cool but is 45 minutes away. It is a big lake, it has a beach but you can also swim in other parts without life guards.
I have been working on a list of books to read this summer, so far i have read one. i am i the middle of an awesome book called A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I love it! It is so hard to find good books now a days. All the new books that come out are filled with boys or peer pressure or stupid "i am woman hear me roar" nonsense. So i have resolved my self to reading the classics. Once i finish my goal book list i will post it.
To finish off, i will post my all time, absolute favorite poem ever: The Walrus and the Carpenter
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?
"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
Isnt it cool!
