Do you guys remember the Weekenders? Like:

I loved that show. Oh, the golden age of Disney channel...RIP.

That being said, here's a list of the things I did today:

- Woke up at 10:00 AM

- Burned my finger in a microwave oven

- Watched Sofia the First for the first time and it was just OK yet why did I spend two hours of my life on it actually fine it was pretty good the animation could use some work though and the plot it's kind of cheesy and how does her mom know what it's like to be a queen a feel like it would be more difficult for her to adjust that Sofia like what.

- Napped for two hours

- Learned the sinister cello opening to "Say No To This"

- Regretted everything I did today

- Did the laundry

- Simultaneously watched Steven Universe Theory episodes and screamed about the possible "Black Diamond"

- Belted out to Moana and Hamilton

- Microwaved a beef patty only to have my parents come home with a pot full of gamajtang with no gamja but it was really good

- Gamja is potato in Korean by the way

And now here I am. Here's a poem just cause:

I WROTE THIS WHILE GOING INSANE ABOUT A SCIENCE LAB REPORT THAT I PROBABLY FAILED

Can you count the words we've written

Can you quantify my thoughts?

Cause they're quality is lacking

And of more I lack thereof

Statistically remarking

That we just are not to be

But the human heart is delicate

Until it's bleeding it believes

It can try and change the variables;

Erase the data given

To produce an outcome more desirable

For the body that it lives in

But I stumble into every mountain,

Hill and petty stone

Attempting to reveal - to feel

A feeling of my own.

Tired of watching TV shows

As life move on without me

But even now, a feeling how

Is not really what I see

I can't rhyme good.

I can barely spell or grammar.

But I've got an award piling dust on a shelf saying otherwise.

It's poetic - it's pathetic

And my handwriting's a mess

My strategies have failed me - it's no surprise I've failed at chess!

Rhythm rhyme, time,

Thyme and basil, French and snails

It's cold and dark oh much too soon

Stop looking for blue Subarus

From your park bench by the moon

Because stones hurt and words hurt

And origami swords hurt

They crumple at the touch

And the throne has stressed enough

Please just lead me to

A path I know

That might just bring me home.

Every second spent here

I another one alone.

And the ink that spills these pages are the reason I won't know

That story still goes on once the book has reached its close.

I haven't written enough endings to know what a good one is

So I'll never be able to separate realistic from fiction

And my head pounds

And the cars shriek

And the world turns

As I'm grounding myself to a spinning blue sphere at the crossroads between time and space

A finite race that will be won when I'm long done my sentence.

- r.k.

*cough*

Yeah. Homework can really stress you out sometimes...

I felt like that had a couple decent lines! At least a few! Maybe...OK, at least one, right?!

WELL It's a work in progress? There are lots of lines that don't make sense so maybe I'll come back to this one.

AND THERE IS A MIRACULOUS LADYBUG CHRISTMAS SPECIAL COMING OUT SOON. I REPEAT. A MIRACULOUS LADYBUG CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. *SCREAMS*

NEXT FRIDAY! I THINK! I'M SO HAPPY I THOUGHT IT WAS ON HIATUS UNTIL NEXT YEAR BUT NOPE THEY'VE COME UP WITH THIS AND I'M SO EXCITED!!!

OK! Fangirling over. Peace. Stay saltful!
