Select Year: Freshman \| Sophomore \| Junior \| Senior
My Prose	The Butterfly - I wrote this when I was about 15. It sounds 15. Wana Kura - About my experiences my first year working at my brother's diabetes camp - one of my college essays. Hands - This was supposed to be a whole essay, but it never got past the first paragraph. I'm currently taking suggestions for the rest of it. The Way Derrick Was - Some describe this as child pornography. C'mon, people, it's supposed to be funny. Julie's Car - And what are YOUR views on kissing? Saying Goodbye to Alison -"Cos you gotta know!" Nothing - Every parent has a story that they tell their kids every other week growing up. This is my dad's story. As of yet untitled - This has nothing to do with baseball.
My Poetry	Polly's Visit - A dream about my music director of ten years who passed away this winter. Pompous Grass - One of my Dad's favorites - written at age 10. Disproving E - Physics is fun... Though Mr. Harvie doesn't agree with my theories here. Crush - Describing the way we tend to like people for who we imagine them to be, rather than for who they really are Dehorristation - started out as a nonsense/nursery rhyme poem, but ended up making a point. Go figure. Exile - Have you heard about how i was fired from Baskin Robbins? (this is just about the first time; thanks for reminding me that it happened twice!) Hot Pink Post-it Notes - You know who you are, and I wish you'd make up your mind about how you're going to treat me, because I'm running out of Post-its. In praise of my friend Dominic's sweater (which I just gave back) - No, Dom, I didn't do anything dirty in your sweater... you might've liked that too much! Leaving Home - Calm down, nobody died. I wrote this for a journalism competition in 1999 and won the top prize. Yay me! Love-Hate Poem - - Happy Single's Awareness Day (Feb. 14)! To the Young Bride - The assignment was to write a wedding poem, but the last time I went to a real wedding, I was 13... and I intend for things to stay that way for a while. Matmaids - TP Wrestling represent, Wha-What!!! Worship - Inspired by my going to a Christian fellowship on a day that I wasn't feeling particularly Christian. Mirrors - Just a history of me and the looking glass. Love, Arizona - Jamie made me write it. Kitchen Windows - Yes, Grandma, I know I rarely did the dishes. But I was so much happier outside with the boys...
