Title: Daijobu
Genre: poem, wangst
Series: original
Comments: Emo for teh win. |D John, a guy at work, told me I should do a poem in Japanese when he heard I was doing Open Mic night last week.

Genre: poem, wangst
Series: original

Series: The Aeneid
Comments: So I was at the Ahab cast party last night. Yeah, me and parties don't mix too well. But anyway.

I wanted to write it in latin, but after I got through the first line, I realized I didn't have the vocabulary to do it, and my latin dictionary was at home. ;_; Lesson of life, kids: always carry around your latin dictionary. ALWAYS. So here it is, in all its short, crappy glory.

Genre: poetry

Comments: Written this past Friday, when I was feeling very depressed and very bitter. Pretty permenantly incomplete as I rather loathe the piece, but I might play around with the idea again next time I'm bitter. It's an interesting idea....in a very bitter sort of way.
