Heh heh, so in English today we did poetry. We were supposed to pick a poem over the weekend to write an essay about. She tells us there's one poem (of the five) that looks easy, so lots of people pick it, but ends up being really hard. Guess which one I picked? *grimace*

It's called "puce fairy book", and surprisingly, quite a few guys picked it. I didn't really think they'd want to be doing an essay about fairy tales, you know? She called our names in class then we said which poem we were doing. The first two guys said the "puce" one, then I said the "puce" one, and then she's all "Yep, yep, everyone picks that one" and I'm just "…crap."

But I mean, I think I get the theme. To sum it up in two words, Nobody's Perfect, though I could go a bit more in depth than that. I think I really understand this poem, but she makes me think there must be something deeper to it. But the message I'm getting seems like a real message, something that someone would write about! I've read people write about it before! I mean, it just MAKES SENSE, you know?

Anyway, in Math we did… POETRY! I mean, WHAT THE HELL? I was just in English, I ain't needing no more of this stuff, kthxbye.

It's this thing called "Fibs", where each line of poetry follows the Fibonacci sequence. You know, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… etc, like in the Da Vinci Code? 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, so you add the two previous numbers to get the next number.

You can see the poem Amy, Michelle, Kenny, and I came up with at the top of this post. At my suggestion of "dead or dying", Kenny informed me that I was quite sadistic. I appreciated that comment.

As you can tell, we weren't too enthusiastic about it. I mean, it's a nice idea, but, I mean, I wasn't really feelin' it, dawg!

I considered writing a blog entry in this form, but I decided against it.

On another English related note, I take back that stuff about Spelling Bees and useless words. Today in Computers, Michelle and her friends were looking up stuff about role playing and weapons and those kind of things. I don't know, I don't really get it all, but I've got my own "things", so I don't worry too much about it. Anyway, they had something about a "Sylph" and they looked it up. And I'm like "hmm… Sylph… why do I know that? Delicate, fairy type, something something…" then I realized that was a word on the Spelling Bee show! Whoa… I guess you do learn things. Now I just have to find an occasion to use the word "mycetophagous". :)
