THANK GOODNESS! I am so happy that I'm better that I am actually using capitals for the first time since the beginning of this blog!
Yep, I'm better. Mostly. At least I'm now spewing chunks anymore.
...okay, back to the all lowercase.
today i got out of school really early and...wow, i really just don't really have anything to write about. i wrote a story. well, a couple of stories.
and yeah.
still bored...

like a 2 x 4
i'm soooooo bored...
being sick bites. i hate it. i really wanted to go the school today, but i didn't have the energy to pull my butt out of bed and go.
oh well.
i've been transcribing a song. it's kind of turning into a lullaby thing. it's pretty.
wow, i have nothing to talk about.
grahhhh...
ps
who understands the title? i can't tell if it's clever, or just a crazed product of my poor brain.

on the 5th day of christmas...
...i got sick!
dang it, i had this safe illness a year ago around this time. it's some sort of stomach bug where my stomach is either trying to escape the confines of my body or implode. i haven't figured out which one it is yet. either way, it's zapping my energy. i'm sleeping an extra 5 hours a day and i'm still exhausted. and i can't eat to get my energy up because...well, it is a stomach bug. i'm sure you can figure out what happens after i eat.
anyway, happy 5th day of christmas! i figured i could come post a small update as long as i'm incapacitated. right now i'm off to finish making my brother's gift.
woot.

sick...blargh
yawn.
okay, so the pirate party went great and i was able to survive until then, but after that my immune system decided that it had had quite enough and it...died.
so i got sick.
i was pretty much out of it for the last half of saturday and all of sunday. i stayed home from church and just slept.
so that pretty much recaps the past two days when i didn't write because i didn't have time/energy. but i'm here now.
for some reason i am determined to keep this blog thing up. i've mentioned that i often let my little online journals kind of...die. so i wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens here. but at the same time i want to get on here and update. i wonder what that is supposed to mean...
of course, it may not mean anything. i over analyze things. a lot. it's not exactly a good thing. sometimes people just do things with no alternative motive. not everything has to have a second meaning. at least, that's what i keep telling myself because my subconscious refuses to believe that and pulls things into my conscious for my to psychoanalyze. which gets me in trouble because i'm often wrong.
i's analyzing right now. i still can't figure out why i'm doing this blog thing. it's really weird.
ah, well.
i'm writing a love story for a friend right now. she's going to freak out when she reads it. she always anbushes me for other stories that i write, even though none of them have been about her. hahaha, i'm really excited to finish it and give it to her now.
so i'm going to go do that, okay?

pajama tea parties
yawn. i've been fighting off an illness, cooking, and managing 7 little pre-pre-teen girls all day long...so i'm pretty much dead tired.
today was my little sister's party for her 10th birthday. i think i've mentioned that i'm a party planner in my last post. anyway, i was in charge of the whole thing. we did a pajama tea party, mostly so i could try out some recipies for my own tea party. i guess i don't spend nearly as much time as i thought around little girls. for some reason there were all so...annoying! but at the same time i thought that they were are wonderful and perfectly hillarious and i got along pretty well with all of them. sure, some of them could be quieter. but i was a really annoying and loud 10-year-old, so i can hardly get upset at them.
the food was mostly a hit. a few of the girls are really picky. i really, really liked the raspberry tart i made. i didn't even think of getting a photo of it untill it was gone, so sorry. but i will be making another one for my upcoming christmas party and i'll be sure to snap a pic then.
of course, that is me assuming that you want to see a picture of the food that i make.
tomorrow is my brother's 7th birthday party. yeah, their birthdays are really close. tomorrow is his acutal birthday too, so it makes it extra special. it's going to be a pirate treasure hunt. i'm actually really excited for this one.
this all means that i'm not allowed to get sick until after 3:00 tomorrow. so wish me luck.
come on, immune system. survive! you can do it!

souls and cooking
my dad says that i sold my soul to the devil in exchange for cooking skills.
now, why a father would say that to his daughter is besides the point. knowing my dad's quirky sense of humor, i'd say that it's actually a compliment. and i'm kind of hoping that it's a well grounded one because i'm about to go on a major culinary adventure.
i'm the designated party planner for my friends, so for this year's christmas party i've settled on a tea party. like, a honest-to-goodness british tea party complete with crumpets and lemon bars and a nice cup of chamomille herbal tea.
now, when i say major culianry adventure, i mean it. i have over 25 recipies for this party planned. that's a lot of food and a lot of cooking. most of these things i've never made before, so i certainly hope that my kitchen skills are up to it and that the recipies are sound.
but i'm way excited about this.
i'll post photos of each dish when the party date comes around.

roller coaster
life, i have decided, is a roller coaster.
it is also a river and a journey and a box of chocolates. and a bunch of other things. but right now i'm thinking about roller coasters, so that's what i'm going to go with.
it has ups and downs and turns and twists and after a while you get kind of whoosily and you can't stand up straight and you bumble around until you either get better or throw up.
or maybe, life isn't the roller coaster. i am. or rather, i'm the rider. which would mean that life is the roller coaster. okay, now i'm just confusing myself.
i have my ups and downs and i love making twists and turns to keep life interesting. i like going fast, both literally and figuratively. but all that fast triggers my motion sickness-prone stomach and i bumble around and either avoid doing something stupid or mess things up.
and then i get back on.
is that stupid? or does it just mean that i have the right perspective? because if you never pick yourself up, you stay down in the mud and dust and never rise up to that point where you are so exhilarated and terrified that you can't think and you get that beautiful rush of endorphins some people live for.
maybe i'm a thrill seeker.
i wonder, do i mess things up on purpose just so i can get the pleasure of sorting everything back out again? because if that's true, i'd be the first person to call it stupid.
life is never predictable. you never know if things can be fixed or if it will be ruined before it ever starts.

apprehensions
i always feel kind of weird when i start a new blog...
like, who will ever read this? it's kind of weird, don't you think? to put all of your thoughts up on the internet for either no one or random people you don't know to read?
all told, this little experiment probably won't last long. i look at what's happened to my livejournal account and i just kind of sigh and shake my head. that poor thing has been abandoned for a long time.
but meh. oh well.
i guess i'm supposed to introduce myself. hey, i'm the abstract poet, jessica. some people call me virg, though. short for virginia, which is another story entirely. like my very unofficial title would suggest, i enjoy writing poetry. i also write fan fics, original short stories and i've had ambitions to write a full novel for as long as i can remember. my picture can tip you off to another love of mine; i'm a piano maniac. i love composing new things and playing around with melodies and harmonies and such. a rather nice "about me" blurb can be found off to the left a bit, along with some interests and favorites on my profile.
yeah, i'm kind of done now. lets see if i can remember to write tomorrow...
