Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun...

Good afternoon!
I'm officially on spring break and day one has been filled with sleeping in, eye doctor appointment, breakfast with my sister, Pokemon Silver, and preparing graduation announcements. I only wish it was sunny outside. Instead I'm stuck with 46 degrees and rain.

I've had the chance to write a short story that I'll eventually post. It's called Necropolis and I'm particularly fond it. So fans keep a lookout for that!

Open Mic Night at the community college is on the 25th of March, two weeks from yesterday. This is where people of all talents come and perform at the open microphone with an audience to listen - a chance for my poetry to be heard. At least I'm thinking about reading a poem and hopefully a new one. Knock on wood!

The official date for the release of Sycamore, the literary journal my three works will be published in, is April 15th! I'm so excited and can't wait to see them in there. I wonder how it will be sorted and if there will be any acknowledgement of the other winners in it. Speaking of which, I had the opportunity to meet another poetry winner. He's actually in creative writing club and looks about in his late 20s. He's quite fascinating! Apparently as a teenager he was homeless and now he's about to have a children's book published! Isn't that incredbile? It amazes me how far people can come and how miracles can truly work their way into any life.

Awards night is still undecided, sadly. They're talking about having it the same time as an Art Festival because it would bring more attention to it. And the earnings won't be given in check that night. They're switching to a cash-less, check-less, pure online system which in my opinion is the most ludicrous thing I've heard. From the internet, they'll deposit the money into the winner's checking account. And if the winner doesn't have a checking account (me), it will go to the parent's account. I informed my mom about it, so we'll go and move it to my account when we can. After that I can donate to the Earthquake Relief Fund for Haiti :)

A particular song has really struck me and I've decided to play it at my wake and funeral when I die. It's from the musical Wicked (excellent musical by the way) and it's called For Good. I'll change my song on my blog to it so everyone can listen to it.

Have a great spring!
