What's This?...Inspiration?

Amidst a thousand papers to write and finals to study for I came across something I least expected. Inspiration! A poem hit me out of nowhere and carried me somewhere.

 The Blue.

 Beautiful man he came from the blue.
 Sweat dried on our backs from the private monsoon.
 The strength of a thousand armies could never amount.
Nestled onto silky stands.
Shining a retina burning light.
 Flames engulfing every emotion.
 A smile even the darkness could not extinguish.
 Delicious and full it was all we needed.
 Lying in the sun with the grass scratching our backs.
 He didn't care if he had a few bruises.
 She left him.
Speeding toward the end of a long day's flight.


 Score one for me for actually producing something.

UMD Blog Hop!

1. Where are you right now? (You can answer literally, or you can stop giving boring answers to every question you’re asked, and think outside the box.)

Physically I am in my dorm room on my bed listening to my roommate's breathing as she sleeps. This is both not as creepy and just as creepy as it sounds. Mentally I am craving frozen yogurt to the point of unhealthy obsession and I am imagining myself in line at Pinkberry to get some. Emotionally I am frantic, half crazed, and strangely calm all at once due to approaching finals.

Seriously look at that picture. It hurts so much why aren't I eating it???!!!!!!

2. What keeps you blogging? Your pride? Your mom? Wanting someone other than your cat to tell you that you’re awesome?
Honestly class. Somewhat honestly I enjoy it. Dishonestly because I have sooo much to say. 
3. What blogs or bloggers do you look to for inspiration, ideas, or just to get the blog side of your brain turned on?
I am a huge fan of Keiko Lynn. It's a fashion/makeup blog which is far from what I'm blogging about but her blog screams perfection to me. 
4. What is your most Terp-like quality? Is you’re not a Terp, well, I’m sorry, but you should be. Go out and get Terpy. Then report back with your newly acquired Terp quality.
If you push me on my back I have a hard time turning over too.
5. If you could pick any celebrity or politician to give your blog a shout out via Twitter, who would it be?
Russell Brand. Russell Brand. Russell Brand. I love him forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
6. Congrats. Wallace Loh stumbled upon your blog and wants to host an all-night party to celebrate your genius. You get to pick the campus building and the two professors who will be in charge of DJ-ing and food/drinks. Go:
I want to rebel on this. I don't want to pick a building. I choose the mall. It would be epic outside with lots of room to run around, frolic,and dance.But especially frolic. There is no need for professors to be in charge of anything I want anarchy! That will be the party theme: anarchical. 
7. And finally, a serious question. What have you learned from blogging? Did you learn about writing? Did you learn about people? Did you learn how easy it is to get distracted on the internet? (But jk on the last one; you already knew that, of course.)
I have learned that I do not have the patience or drive needed to keep up a blog. I truly admire people who can blog well and often because it isn't easy. It takes a special kind of dedication in a person. A blog is like a kid, you have to take care of it otherwise Child Protective Services will take them away...or people won't keep reading your blog in this case. Where was I going with that analogy?
