Pain Is Better Than Nothing, Right?

PAIN IS NOT BETTER THAN NOTHING! Let me tell you. I feel like my arm is going to fall off. It is NOT pleasant. I don't know what's wrong with my should/shoulder blade, but it hurts. I have been in pain before, I mean, I was an accident prone child, but I have never been in this type of pain. It's like a dull, throbbing, constant, make me want to throw up pain. It's fun. Really, it is. It's really, really fun when I have to work too. Man, hauling those groceries around and dealing with annoying people just makes it all better. (I hope you can catch my sarcasm...) I took two extra strength Tylenol this morning, four Ibuprofen at two, two extra strength Exedrin at three, and another Excedrin at about four. I am NOT a pill popper. Usually.

Anyways. To the real news of the day. I have decided to enter a poetry contest. It's called: Poetic Voices. I'm pretty effing excited. I think I have a good chance at winning. And this is not MY conceited-ness, it's my friend's and family's. They all tell me that I'm really good, sometimes I don't believe them. But I'm now going to prove it to myself that I'm good or not good. : ) I'm excited.

I have a lot to do. LIST:
1) Four page research paper for English
2) BIG Chem project
3) BIG Spanish project
4) Catch up on Algebra...not good to fail a college credit class, Leanna.
5) Manage Newspaper stress. Woo!
6) Find time to go to work and to eat, sleep, and shower.

My week shall be exciting. Thanks for reading my complaints of the day.

I need to catch up on quotes. Here's a few:

Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.
- Leon J. Suenes

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. - Matthew 7:7-8

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
- Christopher Logue

If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. - Barack Obama

Never Realized

I never realized how bad I'm doing in school and life. Ha. Seriously, though. I need to straighten up in school. And I just need different types of people to be around. Bad influences are not good, as they have told me for the past 12 years of school...

I never realized how emotional I am. I'm NOT bi-polar by any means, but if somebody says something or does something, doesn't matter what, it can change my mood in .00002 seconds.

I never realized how much I like to blog until recently. If I could, I would TOTALLY make it a career. But I'm sure that I can't and I would much rather be a High School English teacher. Wooo.

I never realized how organized I am. I mean, you couldn't tell that I am if you walked into my room at this moment, but with everything else I'm completely organized.

I never realized how much writing helps. Do I need to say anything about that?

I never realized just how much inspiration Jason Mraz puts into his songs until recently.

I never realized...
