Ode to My Mechanical Pencil
Oh, mechanical pencil,
over my loose-leaf you scroll.
If your lead happens to snap
on this paper you tap,
one click,
and youÕll no longer be dull.
3 mm,Ê5 mm, 7 mm, 9,
your tip never fails,
with your design so refined.
I could never replace you
with pen or with quill;
you follow exactly
and bend to my will.
Your line-work is flawless;
your words are precise.
Oh, what a wonderful,
artistic device!
Your length never varies
as your crude cousinsÕ do,
and your speed never tarries;
you work right on cue.
Endless are your creations
of writing and art.
Oh, mechanical pencil,
with you I canÕt part.

Accounts that is.
I need one I can show to college people or whatever. Something more professional. Not that I'm professional. At all.
I gotta think of a good username... Suggestions? I think I'm gonna go with halcyondaes.. Because I think the concept of halcyon days is awesome and kingfishers (genus Halcyonidae) are my favorite kind of bird. I'm lame, I know.
It'd be cool if some of you guys followed me over there when I move too. :nod:
I'm gettin' serious about this art stuff yo.
*EDIT
Here's the new account. http://halcyondaes.deviantart.com/
It'll be a while before I move stuff and put new things up though..
Watched Religulous with my mom last night. It was very interesting; pretty funny too.
Definitely a movie that could/should foster discussion.
And I just found out that my grandma used to play cello in an orchestra when she was in high school.
I was like, why in the world didn't I know this before?
I knew she played/plays piano a bit, but I had no idea she played cello. Anyway, she gave me her pin from the orchestra. It has '49 on it. Wow. Kinda weird to think about.
Oh, I might have the chicken pox. Awesome.
Edit ~
O Brother, Where Art Thou? is like, my new favorite movie.
I can't even give you a reason.
Just watch it.

So yesterday morning I woke up with this big red bump on my knee.
And I was like, "oh, a bug bite."
Then I was going to bed last night (mind you, it was one in the morning).
I pull back my covers to see...
A fly. :|
Not a horsefly. Just a housefly. I automatically assumed it was what bit me (I wasn't thinking about the fact that houseflies can't bite).
Anyway, as some (probably none) of you may know, I'm weirdly pacifistic. I don't kill bugs, as much as some freak me out. That's another weird thing about me. Mos
