Regina Spektor has a beautiful voice. I love her song "The Call" from Narnia. Don't you love it when you find a song that you can identify with completely?
On a different subject, recall the Flo Valley writing contest? Well, close to a month ago, the gentleman in charge emailed me to confirm I was a Flo Valley student. I informed him I was enrolled at Wildwood and Meramec, but not Flo Valley. Then the unfortunate news came. He said I wasn't eligible then.
I wasn't upset at all. Instead I was flat out confused because the teacher running the Wildwood contest had entered me into the Florissant Valley contest. I explained to him a teacher entered me into it, but he said there must be some confusion.
I figured "oh well" because there were plenty of writing contest opportunities out there. Times like that I think, wow what optimism! Well, optimism certainly pays off because today on this dreadfully dreary day, I received an email from the gentleman again.
Pardon moi?
Yep. He came back to announce the mistake and misunderstanding.
Because I am Wildwood's poetry and drama representative, I am eligible in the contest.
Results will be announced in two to three weeks!
He even wished me luck and told me my poems looked lovely. What a gentleman! Anyway, my rainy day just got a million times brighter.
Tonight is Open Mic Night.
I'll be reading Pascal's Revolution.
I tried to write yesterday, but it wasn't coming very smoothly and didn't feel the words. I'm hoping for a new poem soon. I guess I need some form of minor tragedy to occur so I can get over emotional and write. I've noticed that tends to be the trend with my poetry.
I will have my loving parents film my poetry reading tonight. After all, it is my first :)
Thanks to everyone who has supported me!
