Beside the Candlelight...

Sits a small, unfriendly looking high school teen.  Her hair is damp and recklessly wavy.  She sits crossed leggedly on the new brown couch in the sweats that Carl got for her for christmas and in a Donate Life t-shirt.  Ahh, and she is listening to the rain as it trills to the earth outside the grimy glass windows!  That girl would be I, the narrator of this awesome blog for awesome Sister Heather.  And I welcome you back into the life of the pmsing little brat.
Ahem, anyway I have again finished a plate of provolone cheese with hot sauce on the top.  This time the cheese didn't melt, it more like continued to freeze.  The thermometer reads 49 and hey, I really wouldn't doubt it. 
I stayed after today for the second Still Life meeting of the year and then realized that I would be walking home.  With this thought in mind I glanced out the window and saw massive drops of water being released from some oversaturated cloud.  45 minutes later I was walking through the long gym hallway toward the Freemen gym doors (and overheard a few girls behind me talking about my penguin backpack and debating whether or not they should ask where I got it.  They didn't.  I suppose I'm that intimidating Senior.) thinking that possibly the rain had calmed.  I reached the door and gave a sigh...a long, heavy, tired sigh...the rain was commencing to splash the pavement of the parking lot.  This wouldn't have been so bad if I would've thought about this circumstance this morning when leaving the house to hop into Jeremiah's car.  But alas, I didn't think of it so I just had on a fuzzy off-the-shoulder shirt.  I carried Louis the Pego Penguin in a Tops plastic bag so he wouldn't get wet.  I started my journey in the wetness, hoping that some nice old soul would offer me a ride (of course I wouldn't take one from someone I didn't recognize!!).  I trudged onto Poplar and made it down half the hill when my pleas for love and peace were answered!!  The mom at the house with all the kids stopped and gave me a ride home!! Her and her daughter were so nice and I sat next to a little munchin. =D.  Oh, it definately gave me delight!
Ahem, so now I'm home and I'm drinking Hazelnut coffee.  I lit a candle that smells like apple and cinnamon and the puppy is chewing and licking her paws on the green rocking chair.  I am planning on doing a little research on the Rwanda genocide because I decided that I'm going to do an informative speech on it.  I was originally going to do it on random religions of the world but I changed it to the Rwanda genocide because I think it holds a lot of importance since it was a while before the world stepped into Rwanda and it has been a while for Darfur.  I'm excited to finally see Hotel Rwanda!  Mrs. Lullo and Mr. Ayers both told me to watch it and I've been wanting to since Amy saw it in her Honors Global 9 course.  Now is my excuse!
I might do some homework after that but I really want to read some Harry Potter.  I'm reading the Order of the Phoenix at the moment. I always forget how amazing those books are!!

We love you Heather and we miss you!!  I miss your beautious face!!
I shall write soon.
