wow.
as i have been cleaning a bit, I came across a 'poem' that I wrote in, god, must have been 8th grade. i think it gives a rather sad and all too true insight into my general 8th grade emotional state. Good god, thank christ those days are over.
the nimble fairy princess
kneeled before the throne
her gaze it was unsteady
she knew she was not alone
voices getting louder
echoed in her ears
why oh why must she cry?
why must someone hear?
her wings outstretched to heaven
were silky, lovely indeed
if only she had told them
expressed her dire need
severe faces; glances
flashed before her eyes
no one will ever comfort her
if again she cries
her life it spun before her
the sad story told
she had tried her very best
tried to fit the mold
one fairy princess
is to be no more
the proof is her cold body
lying on the floor
wow. that's embarrassing.
at the bottom of the paper there is a little scratchy drawing of a dead fairy. with "La La La La" written next to it. WTF?!
wow. i guess there are things that never change. i still kill off half the characters in my songs, but i sure hope that my understanding of rhyme scheme is a bit more, um, developed....mature....and, um, good. yeah.

Holy f'n shit.
Ohhhhhh!!! Little Arwen! I wish I could fly back in time and give her a hug, and give mouth to mouth resuscitation to the poor cold fairy!
Umm, so, Arwen, I didn't even know you had a blog...but somehow I had it saved in 'My Favorites' (?!?)and I just accidentally found it whilst trying to save something else. Call me crazy oldfashioned but I'm still a little bit scared of all this Blogging and MySpace and whatnot (that, and I have the world's SLOWEST internet connection, rendering all this business exhaustingly time-consuming). Anyway, the point is: I happened upon your blog that I did not know I'd saved, and it reminded me that in the process of cleaning up my life I recently found your Christmas letter from 2005 (as well as a number of pre-adolescent poems very reminiscent of the one you just posted), and THAT reminded me that I miss you. So, when faced with this comment-option, I thought I would tell you so. At length. So: I miss you. You sound well, and I'm glad!
With love love love,
Jamie
