Mad as Birds
Posted by Rebekah 8:38 PM
A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds
Bolting the door of the night with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds
Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.
She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies
She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.
And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.
"Love in the Asylum"

New Semester
Posted by Rebekah , Wednesday, August 26, 2009 7:26 PM
Started a new semester today. I'm actually excited. For once, with my schooling, I know what I'm doing. I have a set goal and the desire to complete it. Get out of community college with an Associate's Degree by next fall. That's my goal. And I need to complete it. If I don't, then that's it! I'm done. I'll move to Mongolia and join the Nomads.
I'm taking a full class load too. Sociology, Nutrition, Behavior Management, and Sign Language.
Sign Language is the intimidating one for me. It's a total immersion class, which I have taken before. However, my teacher is deaf. And we're not allowed to talk in class. It will be very interesting next class. She had an interpreter tonight, but never again.
However, I just realized that Frank Warren is coming to my school on September 10!! I thought it was August 10. But I can still see him!! I'll be missing a class, but I'll just be sure to tell my teacher tomorrow night that I'm planning on seeing him when he comes. Hopefully he/she will understand. Because, it's Frank Warren!! YaY PostSecret!!!
And on Friday, I'll be poking a hole into my nose. Yes, I'm finally getting my nose pierced. Maybe I'll put up a pic. Maybe not. We'll see. I'm also a tad nervous/mostly excited about that.
You know, back in Biblical Times, Rebekah was given a nose ring as an engagement present. It's so true.
Genesis 24: 22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.
Btw, how funny is it that Rebekah's nose ring weighed a beka. However much that is. Hope it wasn't too heavy for the poor girl.
These are things I think of. Whether or not my namesake's nose ring was too heavy for her over 2000 years ago.
Yes.
Alas poor Guillermo

My wonderful loverly computer has died. Well in a sense. The hard drive is... sick. So the Apple store is giving me a new one, sans all that... pesky information I have so meticulously stored on it. And of course, me being the epic tech head that I am, I have precious little saved elsewhere so... I'm losing a lot. Including the story I was writing. *dies* Drives me NUTS.
So that is why I have nothing going on interwebs wise.
