Happy Star Wars Day!

    May the Fourth be with you! Ah... get it? I suppose not. I bet I am the only one who is going to even get that joke. You know, force but with a lisp? No offense to anyone who actually has a lisp, I know they aren't fun. I have a reoccurring lisp that creeps into my speech ever so often which I guess isn't too much to complain about, but still... not fun!
   So I decided that I am either going to submit that poem I shared with you all in the previous post or I will share a short story that I am writing at the moment which is being written in high hopes of being submitted!
   This short story I am writing is about a girl who is visited by a missionary trying to convert her to his own religion. Storm sirens start to go off right as she tries to shoo him off and she knows that it is wrong to send her into the storm so they have to hide out in her basement together. It's going to be a long storm...

So here's a little excerpt from the story:

    "Can I help you?" I asked inquisitively. The man shuffled around with his pockets and pulled a small black book out and he opened it.
    "Um..." he started. I could tell he was new at this.
    "Yes?" I urged him on. The sooner I got him to start talking the sooner I could get him to leave.
    "Have you heard the good news of Jesus Christ?" He stammered out. I let out a long, drawn out, internal groan. I could be fixing my dinner right now, but no, I was here talking to this "fine" specimen.
    "Yes, I have. I am proudly Catholic." I told him.
    "Just give me a moment ma'am. I have so much to tell you about Jesus Christ." the young man told me. I was really thinking of shutting the door in his face, but that would be rude of me.
    That was when I heard the storm sirens go off.

     There is just a little sneak peak to my new story, I hope you guys enjoy it! I will perhaps share all of it if I win the literary contest! I will definitely keep you all posted though.

I bid you all adieu for I shall see you all again with my next blog post!

Depression... a poem of mine(I apologize this is a sad one)

The cold water runs over me, as I sit in my shower.

The clock runs faster, past every hour.

My body is numb…  but so is my mind.

How did I become so blind?

I am deafened by the reality of the world,

Which I thrust myself into like a black hole.

It is not what I imagined, and I cannot go back.

Life is beating me down to my last breath

It seems like a weakness, asking for a hand, or perhaps death.

And it makes me falter in my steps.

Can’t you see though?

That I’m asking for  help?

Don't worry everyone, I'm not depressed. This is just a poem I started writing and everything just came out! I hope you all enjoy the deep insight to my mind. I am debating sending this into the Gale Literary contest. 

I Almost Had a Heart Attack

     I got on here this morning to tell you all about this literary contest that I am going to enter in. Then I see that my layout has changed and that the text script has changed as well. I see it and I first think,"Something is definitely wrong." and I go to the editing link for the blog. Considering that I am not technically savvy, I did not know how to change the text script and I sat there for about three minutes going through every tab and link there was and I still couldn't figure this out! I was about ready to cry, but I don't think that it would be the most mature thing to cry while I am in my history class, is it? It's not the most mature thing to type out a blog post during one's history class either, but it does not matter at the moment. After I refreshed the flipping page though, is when the text went back to its normal font. I am not mad about this at all.
    Speaking of history though, I thought of something this morning:
Awkward(definition): When you live in America and Japan buys your old steel to make weapons out of and they kill half of your troops in the pacific during WWII.
That is incredibly awkward now isn't it?
    Now, onto this literary contest. My school always advertises the Gale Literary Contest in May. Since I am getting more involved in literature and things of that nature, I thought, "Why not submit a poem of my own? I can write one this week!" So that is what I am doing. I am writing a poem now and it is actually turning out quite well. The theme of my poem is about growing up, becoming an adult and moving out on  your own. I have a little written so far, but I won't share it yet until I perfect it completely. I hope that when I do enter I win some sort of prize in the end. I am also going to enter a music contest too, but this is my literature blog and my music blog hasn't been written on in... forever. Enough about that though.
   I have to go for now, but I hope everyone reads this blog post and the last post I wrote!

I bid you all adieu for I shall see you all again with my next blog post <3
