The Big Bang Theory (redefined); Also, 3 penguins share a bowl of Mac

Parking Lot

Gentle footsteps- pat, pat

Plink, plink- echoes on metal

Whoosh, the thief steals

Again, the droplets

Taken so effortlessly

From the glass

I watch her

Walking briskly now

Head stooped, leaning forward

Avoiding the storm

I was sitting in a parking lot while my sister played basketball a few weekends ago, and it was raining so hard that I could barely make out shapes outside of my car. Luckily, I had my journal and was able to pass time by composing this short poem and a short story I've been working on. If you'd like to read the story, you can check it out here- http://figment.com/books/9887-Star-in-my-Pocket

So, I've basically been down the past few days.. It's just been a couple crappy days, you know. Well, a crappy week. I'm not going to blog away my miseries, though. I have poetry for that.

Instead, since it's 11:25 pm and I would much rather be watching reruns of That 70's Show than ramble-blogging, I'm going to briefly update you on my life in the form of a compact list.

• I cleaned my room this week.
• I baked 96 and a half cupcakes today.
• I thought I lost my journal and almost had a panic attack. Then I found it. Under my bed.
• I also found some other questionable items under there.
• One of these items was a red skittle... To eat, or not to eat? It was tempting, but I ended up opting out of potential food poisoning.
• I had an extremely awkward conversation with my mother. Then again, most of our conversations end up awkward...
• In science class, we were learning about the Big Bang Theory, and I couldn't concentrate because I was wondering if astronauts have sex in space. I was basically considering it all day after that, until I got home, googled it, and found an entire Wikipedia page titled "Sex in Space".
• I may not have learned about the Big Bang Theory, but I think my Bang Theory was indisputably more interesting. (I'm so punny!)
• I got a B on my science test.
• I got a C in life.
• I found out that I'm not very street smart.
• I also found out that I should really carry pepper spray in my purse.
• I got re-hooked on That 70's Show. Mostly because I remembered how smokin' hot Eric is.
• I procrastinated. A lot.
• I found the missing three chapters of Harry Potter 6 in my closet.
• I had a REALLY weird dream involving three penguins, a box of Spongebob-shaped Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, and a toaster.
• The dream turned into a nightmare around the time that the toaster came into the picture.
• If you've been keeping up with the Dylan News, you know why.

Well, there you go. I know all you stalkers out there like to keep your Dylan journals updated. I should really go to bed now. As you can see, I am not in my right mind right now. I think it's the hour. Or maybe all those cupcakes.... Besides, I have brunch tomorrow with my dear father. Yippee.

^Take note of obvious enthusiasm.

Alright, farewell folks! CK
