"Or Fanning Yourself by the Sea...'

Look! Look at what I've done!

It's original, and it means nothing, and it's not edited at all. Poor thing. I wrote it quite a little while ago. Oh! allyness, her name is Zayka.

"Waiting Near, Waiting Here..."

I've finally finished wrapping Monika and Elena's gifts for Waen. She doesn't like wrapping herself, and I am madly fond it because it is the one thing artistic which I can do, so we were well able to compromise.

I have this funny, unshakable feeling that this will be the best summer of my life. I've never felt this way before about anything; but I feel wonderfully alert, exciting, anticipating, and as though there were something wonderful that's going to happen soon. I'm waiting for something and it's going to be a good thing, a splendid thing; that's how I feel.

Here I am. Here I am, ready.

I want to dance. I want to make magic things. I want to explore the whole world and find everything, and at the same time I want to find a nice place when it's warm and quiet and be safe and sleeping there. I have the best friends in the world and I am continuously noticing how much I love them all.

Ohhh. What's it time for? I'm ready. Here I am.

"Present Mirth Hath Present Laughter..."

Tuesday Scum Club is regretfully distracted. Everybody speaks very loud and very fast and nobody listens to anybody else with the result that nothing much ever gets done. Rather disappointing, really. Catch-22 seems (I am, mind, not reading it) as though it's better than that, and deserves better. Waen, I can tell, is extraordinarily bothered.

Still, they have agreed to make The D Case their next book! For that, I am quite excited and grateful. Waen will have to tell me how it goes. ^_^ It's her Special Thing, so I shan't go again. I just wanted to know what it was like.

One of the girls was talking about the prom. I wanted to wear my blue patchworked dress, but she says it's much too fancy for that. She says girls wear tiaras and buy awfully expensive dresses and everything, so I shan't be able to wear mine. I'll have to find something else. It's just that most of my dresses are just right for work--they're jumpers, or skirts, made out of pretty, strong material--but not so good for very fancy things.

But I'll make do; just watch.

Jane Eyre, at least as far as I am, seems a lot like Heathcliff, only female. Mum promises she'll grow out of it and I'm completely mad for thinking so anyway.

"Then Come and Kiss Me, Sweet and Twenty..."

Snitched a quick meme from weaselwoman13.

If I am elected, my pope name will be: Pope Outrageous Rich VII What's your pope name? Name:

...I wish. The whole family is presently broke. I am going to pay for us to eat dinner next week, because I am the only person who saves mainly because I haven't had any opportunities lately of spending my allowance on unsuspecting people whom I like.

Oooh, looky, Dream is at desperatefans...
