"The Stalker Poem par excellence"
a.k.a The Apparition by John Donne
We had to read this for literature. I said, "it's like Audrey and Long" but nobody knew what I was talking about. The poem is about a guy suffering from self-pity and unrequited love and now he's stalking the girl that rejected him. HAHA, just like Audrey and Long.
WHEN by thy scorn, O murd'ress, I am dead,
And that thou thinkst thee free
From all solicitation from me,
Then shall my ghost come to thy bed,
And thee, feign'd vestal, in worse arms shall see :
Then thy sick taper will begin to wink,
And he, whose thou art then, being tired before,
Will, if thou stir, or pinch to wake him, think
Thou call'st for more,
And, in false sleep, will from thee shrink :
And then, poor aspen wretch, neglected thou
Bathed in a cold quicksilver sweat wilt lie,
A verier ghost than I.
What I will say, I will not tell thee now,
Lest that preserve thee ; and since my love is spent,
I'd rather thou shouldst painfully repent,
Than by my threatenings rest still innocent.
It's their poem now. Audrey rejected him today, which is good because hopefully he'll stop stalking her. Or maybe he'll start now, who knows? I'm no stranger to being mean to boys. Today I punched Rohan for saying something annoying. It's funny because I surprise people with the strength of my punches. I bet all the guys I know have been on the receiving end of said abuse at least once. In band, Rohan had a ball of pink play dough and was sculpting it into faces on the bell of his saxophone. He wanted to have a pink droopy mustache but it wouldn't stick to his face. I suggested he stick it to the mouthpiece of the sax and when he played it looked hilarious! I guess you just had to have been there...
I had a Chinese SAC today, tomorrow I have a Methods SAC! I should probably study chapter 6 now, but I can't be bothered. I think I'll sleep early and study tomorrow because my head hurts and I'm feeling kind of dead.
I'll tell you something funny that happened yesterday though! As most of you already know, Ying and I have take turns to see who has to sit next to biohazard boy in biology. I usually sit with him on Mondays, which means Ying has to sit with him in the double on Friday. Anyway, yesterday I pointed this out and we raced each other giggling and shoving people out of the way up the stairs. I won. It nearly cost me my life because I ran into the back of someone and bounced off.
Man, I really feel like eating. I've been eating so much these past few days, I feel kind of bloated. Maybe I should stop my incessant snacking and do something productive like...go for a jog or something. I don't get it! Why do I all of a sudden need to eat eat eat EAT EAT. It's nearly holidays, I'm going to eat SO much.
Love,
Mel
