What Up?

Me & my Love

Getting There (Sylvia Plath)

How far is it? 
How far is it now?
The gigantic gorilla interior
Of the wheels move, they appall me --- 
The terrible brains 
Of Krupp, black muzzles 
Revolving, the sound
Punching out Absence! Like cannon. 
It is Russia I have to get across, it is some was or other. 
I am dragging my body 
Quietly through the straw of the boxcars. 
Now is the time for bribery. 
What do wheels eat, these wheels 
Fixed to their arcs like gods, 
The silver leash of the will ----
Inexorable. And their pride! 
All the gods know destinations. 
I am a letter in this slot! 
I fly to a name, two eyes. 
Will there be fire, will there be bread? 
Here there is such mud. 
It is a trainstop, the nurses 
Undergoing the faucet water, its veils, veils in a nunnery, 
Touching their wounded, 
The men the blood still pumps forward, 
Legs, arms piled outside 
The tent of unending cries ---- 
A hospital of dolls. 
And the men, what is left of the men 
Pumped ahead by these pistons, this blood Into the next mile, 
The next hour ---- 
Dynasty of broken arrows!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

I was craving hop's chocolate chip pancakes so I decided to make my own. I added about a tablespoon of dark chocolate cocoa powder to the pancake mix, I used Bisquick but you can use whatever pancake mix you want. It wasn't as chocolaty as I wanted so I melted about a half a cup of chocolate chips and poured about a third of it in the batter. Then I used the rest of the chocolate to drizzle over the already cooking pancakes and then I dotted it with chocolate chips. Finally, when it finished cooking, I added some syrup and ate away the taste of  heaven.

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because

 they tell us that dragons exist, but because 

they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

-G.K. Chesterton

Feeling a bit British.

Quote of the Day

"...I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're gonna do. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia... You spend your whole life stuck in a labyrinth thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape from the present."-Alaska

I just adore that... it's crazy creepy how much this fits into my life. This is by far my favorite book quote.

I want this couch.

 

This is who I am.

I'm a sophomore in high school but I'm not your average teenager. I pretty much have my own style (in the way of clothes). & I'm proud to be somewhat of an outcast. I am very passionate about being different from everyone else. I'm somewhat of an artist, my walls are filled with paintings. I'm stuck in a painfully small town in Texas... I plan to be wickedly adventurous when I get out of high school and go wherever the wind takes me... which will hopefully be Scotland or somewhere insanely different from where I resign today. I'd like to say me & God are tight but I'm a preacher's daughter struggling with the idea of rebelling from what's right. I still love God with all my heart but here recently selfishness has found its way into my heart. Anyways... this blog shall be about my daily inspirations, thoughts, struggles, my style & all that jazz.
