friday

i finally got to a computer to write something about my Friday. i took 3 of my friends with me and had a fun time we went to the library first and listened to people read there poetry and it was very emotional for one girl. she wrote a poem about the place were she grew up and how the life of hers is so messed up with her friends being raped cars being stolen and how it hurts her. now i don't know if that was about her life or if she just wrote this from her mind so i don't know how much truth is there. she did a very good job and i really liked her poem. another women there wrote a poem about her self and how she is and that she doesn't care what people think about her she is just herself and nothing else and if some one doesn't like that well to bad because that is the way she is. there was one guy there and he wrote a poem about alcohol and how it affected his and his mothers life. it was really cool because he used a new song " blame it on the alcohol" he used one line from that song which was like almost a punch line in his poem. only difference is that his poem was serious so it was preatty emotional to hear it and at the same time it was interesting. i went in front of everyone and read one of my lame poems and idk i felt weired but i guess it was fun in the end because i actually got into it when i read the poem after like the 4th time and i really liked the way i read it because it gave some life to the poem.

after the library we went to the slam poetry teen semi-finals, and oh my god it was amazing i saw one girl from my school there and she thought that she invited me there but i never got her email but i still showed up so it was cool. we also saw the 3 readers from the library perform in the semi-finals and the second girl we heared the one that wrote the poem about how she is got really high scores. one thing i noticed about all the performers was that they either talked fast, or had A LOT of emotions in there peices and it was just very cool to hear other people perform and the type of peotry that they wrote. some of them were about the peoples experiences and some were about hypotheticals but still a general statement to some one weither it was to there mom or about a "friend" it was always about some one or to tell some one something. none of them were about just random stuff.

i have watched some slam videos on youtube and there was all sorts of poems and i really like it sept i can't talk infront of people i can dance in front of anybody and in anything but i can't speak. well i can but its not as easy as dancing for me

planning this out was a lot of fun eventhough when i got home i ended up in trouble anyway because i got home around 12 althought i week before i told me dad "i'm going to be home around 12"

my idea for community service totally failed because i couldn't find anyone who could help me at the time because everybody was to bussy with the show. oh well i'm just going to go to the lindsey wildlife musuem and work there.
