How much orange juice pulp is desirable to you

Baby it's -6 outside February 1, 2011

     I wrote a new poem last night, but I did some re-editing this morning. I've grown to really like it. I think it's good, but maybe not. In any case, it's really vague, but I love ambiguous poetry. I like hearing what things mean to people, and then finding out what the author meant it to be. Whether they match up doesn't matter so much, but it's multiple found meanings can be held by all. I'm of course referring to ambiguous poetry in general, because even though I'm happy with what I wrote, I don't know if it's anything spectacular.
    
A controversial word
To be claimed with capitalization
I’ll use it when I can
Remembering it when I can’t
Freud will snicker with delight
Because I am fond of my grammar

     I have trouble finding titles, and going back to edit poems later, but I enjoy taking pride in my progress.
     Alright, so not much is happening right now. My brother and mom are staying out of the cold. Hm...what if I added a "u" to the word "cold?" Would it suddenly be fancy or old English? Probably not, but why not? Why does "color" get a "u" to make it fancy. Oh, I guess it would be misread as "could," and I guess "could" is a word of it's own. Maybe cold just avoids the "u" for the sake of the people and reading, but it secretly wants a "u" to become fancy. It envies the word "colour." Poor "could" didn't mean to get in the way of "cold" and his dreams.
     My brother is going to get on soon, so I'm going to read the little prince some more.
     Ah, did I say that yesterday my fear of heights came back briefly on an escalator? It was very strange. "Why am I trying to walk back down, this is an escalator, I don't think I've ever been afraid of an escalator before." This was what I was vaguely thinking. It was incredibly strange. It was only on that one escalator, I rode plenty that day.
     I've emailed my teachers about my absence while in Colorado.
     Ah, I saw English muffins in the hotel breakfast area this morning. It made me recall something funny about English muffins.
     I also had a dream last night. In my dream I sat through two movies with Jessi. In one, Meg and Kevin joined us, and in the other, the theater had turned around and it was only us. After the movies we resumed our day realizing that it might be a while. We were being followed by some people, but it was just nice to see her. I've been dreaming enough lately, now if only I can realize I'm dreaming. I held her hand throughout the movies though. That was nice.
     Well then, until the day is at hand!
     I have two sweatshirts on.
     I'm going to establish two more things about my family that drive me crazy. Afterward, I will move on and move on to a series about things I love about my family. I would like to work harder on getting along with them somehow. I won't go into detail, because it is unnecessary and counterproductive now.
1. They are quick to assume, one thing that I tend to be afraid of because I dislike when people even non relatives assume or put words in my mouth.
2. They are quick to get offended and defensive in conversation.
Okay, from here on I plan to begin saying things I like about my family even on the days they get me down.
     I looked for Matt today to no avail. Pretty much since we woke up, we've been driving around Colorado looking for Mormon Churches. We just got back.  First we looked local, then we found out his apartment might be in Canon Colorado, so we drove an hour out that way. I'm not able to reveal my source, but we found out the location of the apartment he is staying in. Sadly, he wasn't there, so we found out he actually WAS in Colorado Springs doing meetings all day. We found information that led us to the building he was meeting at, but we showed up late. We were told that he MIGHT show up later. We had dinner and went back. After we waited there for an hour, no dice. Tomorrow we plan to wake up super early before our flight back home and surprise him early in the morning at his apartment in Canon. I feel very confident that we'll get to see him still. If he leaves earlier than we arrive for some reason, we have already left something on his doorstep to let him know we were there. It might break his heart a bit if we don't see him though. 
     Today instead of fighting my own battle, I've been trying to help someone else fight theirs. On top of my own, and looking for Matt. I'm just trying to blast some music and wind down.
     It was REALLY cold today.
     More to come tomorrow, I just can't think well right now. Goodnight bloggers, sweet dreams =]
     Hm, I'm not done. I don't know what I want to talk about, but I want to make another edit. I might write a poem or something. We shall see.
