I meant I can't envision jello and cookies going together

Well you just take basic cookie ingredients and then put in the magical jello powder and bake for 6 to 8 minutes at 350 degrees.

That's a

That image didn't show up but I can see it's about beating a dead horse which sounds gruesome and totally irrelevant and I am not sure why you would post that.

A risky move. But do what you love.

Something I've noticed: you're writing gets stale when you're bitter, but it flourishes best when you're slightly sardonic. At least I think so. It is the internet, after all.

Well I'm almost definitely not going to be writing novels. I'd be a Copywriter (writing for advertising/slogans/etc.), or a teacher (those who can't do teach hahaha right guys), or I don't know maybe a magazine will take me.

Oh and it is what I love and people that I read my papers/speeches to keep telling me I should be a writer and I can do anything if I just believe in myself.

Yesterday (since it's 1:47) I had to turn in a portfolio of finished non-fiction pieces for my "Advanced Writing" course.

Now, I'm working on something that might not be technically due today, since this professor is really lenient, but it is due sometime this week and I won't be here on campus after today, so I really need to finish it. It's really not a bad assignment, another poetry paper like all of her assignments are.

"Choose 5-7 poets: one in each of the following cultural/political categories: Black, White, Jewish, Feminist, Native American, Latino, Lesbian, Gay. Discuss their poems in relationship to their cultural and political identities. 6-8 pages, typed, double-spaced, referenced, MLA style."

I'm focusing on Amy Lowell for lesbianism, Ray A. Young Bear for Native Americans, Muriel Rukeyser for Judaism, Allen Ginsberg ("Howl," specifically, since it's fucking amazing) for gays, Sandra Cisneros for both feminism and Latinas, Langston Hughes for African-Americans (he's the easiest), and Bob Dylan for white.

Bob Dylan might seem odd, but it was my professor's suggestion. We talked about Bob Dylan together a lot this semester and she suggested I try to incorporate him into this paper. Talking about Dylan in regard to his identity as a white man is kind of odd, but I have an idea of how I'm gonna do it.

That's a...well, you certainly have a wonderfully offbeat writing style and manner of expression. It could work really well!

I lol'd

I don't do shit and usually I do pretty well on tests and projects.

Kaz: I would've chosen Stefan Georg, the crazy gay Viennan from 1900, to trace the impressionist movement and the changes going on in northern europe.

I've never heard of Allen, I'll read it soon.
