from the Falls Park Bridge This is my favorite!!!

I have to write a poem for English class. It has to be about either "something that surprised me or continues to surprise me" or "something I want to tell myself at another age." Said poem must be written in quatrains (four line stanzas) and must have 4-6 stanzas. There must be no end rhyming. Include one strong similie and one question. Do not write in abstractions and use proper punctuation. I am having a really hard time doing this. I've wasted a dozen or so pages in my notebook and several more full sheets of notebook paper trying to write a poem. These are the snippiets I have so far: Now that you have Grown into a woman Try not to forget You used to be me. Before you chastise That daughter of yours, Remember that you Were once just like her. She is timid and talented And optimistic and spunky. She is confident and firey And intelliget and sweet. I go to the bars. I stay out until dawn. I play pool with the boys And even more with some. I might make mistake

"Hate is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

1) Going to the bars alone 2) Leaving the bar with J. (He said his friends were going to join us. Meaning M would join us, and I ? M) 3) Letting J in my car 4) Letting J stay in my car after he tried to pull a move on me. (I turned off the car and told him he could get out if he wanted, so he stopped.) 5) Flirting with J 6) Sitting in 221 for 45 minutes with J. His friends never showed up. He was annoying as hell. Then I looked over and saw something on his ring finger. You got it. I was at a bar with a married man. Ew. 7) Telling J I would drive him back to his car. T: ::Pulled up to parking garage:: J: Go ahead and pull in. T: I'm not paying money just to drop you off at your car. J: It's okay, I'll pay for it. T: That's illogical. J: Well, then, pull into that parking lot just up there. T: But this is so much closer to your car, it makes more sense. (And I'm not entirely stupid...though you wouldn't know it from this evening.) J: No, it's okay. T: ::dri

A surprise trip to watch the sunset over the lake Wanting to know all the details about me Holding hands while brushing our teeth Sending flowers to my house for no reason at all Giving me something I've always wanted but never knew it Being super happy to see me Letting me know I've got a special place in your heart "I love you."...it's as simple as that *sigh*

TiffanyAnne 1984: Because someone wanted some viejoyeddin: Ok...

I walk into the kitchen to find the RESCUE HEROS, Jake Justice and Rocky Canyon trying to kill each other with PaperMate! I was without actual camera, so I had to use my phone. Now this is art!

So, let's see...after being woken up at 1:15 AM from Brent-the-stupid-head calling me back (at 1:15??? couldn't you have waited until the next morning?) I woke up at 6:45AM. Go me. When I get to work and say good morning to Alex, he grins at me but pretends not to notice me....until I turn off the TV and tell him to put his pacifier and friend (stuffed animal thing) back in his bedroom. After insisting that his daddy said he could (wrong, kiddo), he goes and asks Mommy. Who also tells him no. Gosh, people! I just want my paci!! I chat with Janelle while she finishes getting ready. Lauren takes one look at me and bursts into tears. How comforting. I know what she is thinking. Oh no. She's back. Why is she back? Why can't I just stay with Mommy? Don't go Mommy. I know you're a doctor, but screw those kids. I'm way more important! This morning...I did a little experiment. I decided to skip Lauren's AM nap. Good idea? Bad idea? WHINY and FUSSY idea. It wasn&

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 14. Always tell

for Lauren Sitting and crawling Standing and climbing When will you walk? The eagerness is in your eyes You envy the children that go running by I hear your little heart cry out: I want to be able to run about! My little sweet pea Time will soon tell Soon you will be afoot And you will forget All those times you fell Desperately trying One foot after another Soon you will walk

Okay, sure, my sister and Orin did say that in a joking matter. Mostly. But not entirely. Can't people just be cool friends? Gosh. Everything has to always be so centered around SEX. Hey guys, guess know what? (As Alex always says...) It's not always about sex. It seems that all people ever care about is boyfriends and girlfriends and sex. Maybe, sometimes, a girl just wants to be friends. Why does every hang out have to be a date? But I digress, as always. What I want to know is why people are so OBSESSED with finding a significant other? Shouldn't we be happy with who we are? So many people are so unhappy without a significant other. I say, that until you are happy WITHOUT a significant other, you'll not be happy WITH a significant other. Hence the reason I gave up dating for Lent. (And maybe some time after that...) I need to focus on other parts of myself. I don't need to waste my time dating right now. Gosh, no! The funny thing is after I gave up dating, men su

I finally figured out how to do black and white on my digital camera, I took some new black and white photots. They're pretty cool. I'm really proud of that watch photo. I think it's the best picture I've ever taken! Oh, and if anyone looks at this blog, some feedback would be really appreciated. Negative or postive, I just want to know what people think. Thanks! Tiffany

I'll miss a thing or two Or maybe even more I'll miss you holding me up When I'm falling to the floor I'll miss your hand Reaching for mine I'll miss dancing together Just to pass the time I'll miss your smirk And your devilish eyes I'll miss they way you touch my cheek When you kiss me goodbye I won't miss the uncertainty Of knowing who you are I won't miss you flirting With other girls at the bar We knew what we were doing And why we were there Everything from A to B Was just a little light fare Thanks for your time Thanks for your touch A world of fun Maybe I had too much If I leave this now I can remember this well It will be a good experience Not one in which I fell We maxed out our share Too long ago But this is never goodbye I'm sure that you know

Saturday , I went to Brent's house to have dinner with Modern folk as well as Culture Prophet , Shock Cinema , and Measles Mumps and Rubella . The people from the bands were awesome. Desire and I danced to MMR at Ground Zero . Mucho fun. After all the bands were done, they were playing some bad love-boat type music and we were all dancing. Soo much fun. Even Brent & Scott were dancing. Sunday was mucho fun as well. Mike met me for mass. He had a lot of questions about it. I'm glad he came, that was awesome. And then I get a call from my dad..." so I heard you were at mass with a boyyyy " *sigh* Parents. LOL. After Mass, we went to Sticky fingers for lunch. Then to O-cha for TRIVIAL PURSUIT!!! Our last game. Post Modern won, but just barely. Orangecoats & Ocha tied for 2nd. Mike joined the O-cha team for today. He suggested Risk as our next game. *gasp* that would be too much fun. I listened to Tora Tora Tora on the way home and could barely k

I'm too good for you Ha ha ha That's right Too. Good. For. You. I'm too good For your stupid two AM calls When you are sloppy drunk Asking me to join you I won't say yes anymore Just to be used So get your hand Out from under my skirt That's my ass your touching And you can't have it 'Cause I'm too good for you

Met John, a shrink, at Sassafras last night. Snippet of conversation.... John: So, why doesn't a pretty girl like you have a boyfriend? Tiffany: Because I have high standards. John: What are you afraid of? Tiffany: I'm not af-- John: What are you afraid of? Tiffany: I have standards! I'm not afraid. John: What are you afraid of? Tiffany: I don't have sex. John: What? Tiffany: I don't have sex. So, for a pretty girl that goes to bars, my options are few. John: Yeah. I can respect that.

Trivial Pursuit League, Game 3 Tiffany : What is troilism? Post-Modern Team Members : What??? Tiffany: What is troilism? T-R-O-I-L-I-S-M ::looks at back of card; giggles:: Suze: Well, it's obviously something that makes her giggle. ::After much discussion, Post-Modern comes up with an answer.:: Brent: Particle physics Tiffany: Troilism is menage a trois...particle physics don't make me giggle

Being sick is just about no fun at all. And I'm sick. Ugh. I'm so glad I had today off. Feel free to send me some uplifting messages/comments/etc. Or, you know, bring me some chicken soup....mmm... Why chicken soup, though? I wonder why sick people always get chicken soup. Why not vegetable soup? Or broccoli and cheese soup? (Aside to Mary: Cheese soup! I love cheese soup! Can I have your cheese soup, Mulder?)

I'm thinking of taking a little mini-vacation in early April. That's when my school and work schedule work perfectly so that I can have about 5 days off. I'm not sure where I want to go. And whether or not I want to go with someone. And I wanted to go with someone, who I would go with. And whether or not I can really afford to take a little vacation. Haha.
