Winter's Lament and Beauty's Withhold



_____Look at that fancy-pantsy title-- is that some poetry or what? Just call me Robert FROST (geddit, geddit, there be snow in my pictures? hurhurhrur). Today is a good day, citizens, mainly because we got a two hour delay to school and I woke up on the happy and buttered side of my bread. We have had a few delays this year. I'm liking this extra snow, not only because it guarantees the most bright of photos, but also because it's concentrated awesomeness in its coldest and most sinisterly delightful form.
_____If you look in the back of some of my pictures, you can see Charles the swan making the water ripple about. He kept trying to take the spotlight from me. That crazy swan. In other news, I got my hair cut last weekend and now it feels a ton shorter. When I went in to get it cut, I told the hairstylist lady I was trying to grow it out, and she said we'd have to cut off all the dead ends.. apparently, all of my hair was dead. Oh well, at least I can brush my hair now without my brush getting stuck halfway down my hair. That's a pretty nice feeling, I guessssss.
_____I hope you all are staying warm in this cozycold weather!

We Think in Generalities, But We Live in Detail



____I actually finished this a long time ago, but it's been framed in the school library for probably about a year now and I never got to take pictures and put it up here; the other day, I decided to smuggle it out since I wanted it back. I unhooked it from the wall and busted out the library doors, frame and all, then dissembled it in the art room and took my prize home. I felt so sneaky-- those librarians never suspected a thing.
____Then again, they saw me and didn't give two damns-- er, what I really mean is that it was like a James Bond movie up in there. You should have been there. It's a shame you weren't. Sorry. Too bad, so sad. Don't mix two styles of plaid. That's just not rad. It's not a fad, even if you're a Scottish lad.

____Oh. Yeah. So. This be sharpie and ink, and it 'twas quite fun to draw. I just love ink and making lots of wonderfully varied lines, doing so is like eating chocolate for me! Except you can't eat lines. Not really. Well, I suppose you could, but that is another story for another day.
