     Harryette Mullen's sonnet in the poetry packet made me laugh but it also made me question myself. If taken the wrong way the poem could be seen as an insult instead of a love poem. That's probably the way I would take it if a guy had read this poem to me. As I think more on it I can see that it is more about being in love with someone who may seem ordinary to most but is special anyway to the person speaking the poem. "And in some minty-fresh mouthwashes there is more sweetness than in the garlic breeze my main squeeze wheezes." Something like that would definitely bug me for a while even if it was a joke, as I am very self conscious.
     Shakespeare's sonnet about love always growing and changing opened up a whole new thought trail for me. I always thought that a person's love for another could always grow, but I never saw any reason not to say, "I love you most" when someone I care for is around. I really like the line "to give full growth to that which still doth grow" because it helped me fully express my thoughts about it. Now that I've read this poem I believe that this is extremely accurate and I see why Shakespeare is such an amazing poet in people's eyes.
     "If I had a year off, I'd write a novel." When I read this for the first time I actually started laughing. I couldn't believe that Cameron had written something that I had told my mom only a few months ago. She had asked me what I planned to do for college and I told her that I was considering taking a year off from school and writing a novel. I ended up getting talked out of that plan as it turns out, though I think it was for the better. I do hope to write a novel one day, and I really hope I get published. It's always been a dream of mine.

Introducing the Starship Ranger Brittany Connelly

Hi everyone, my name's Brittany. ^-^ Don't ever let my extreme randomness or seemingly annoyance with you keep you from talking to me because I do actually want to talk to you, I'm just extremely shy and socially awkward. Oh, and if you don't understand any references I make, assume they are from a Team Starkid musical, because I think they're totally awesome and I wanted to be unique. ^-^ My favorite colors are light and dark purple or dark purple and lime green, and if I were an animal I would be a panda. I have two little sisters and a little brother who is diagnosed with autism. I am the oldest child in my family and the oldest grandchild on my mother's side, and I am the first to have gone to college in my immediate family. I play video games quite a bit, mostly CoD games and a bit of Halo Reach and 4 all on Xbox 360. I've been called a pool shark because I can shoot with both hands equally well once I get used to the table; my friend's dad hates playing pool with me because of this, which my friend finds hilarious. I don't really play pool much though, so no one should have to worry about my 'pool shark' tendencies. My current fandoms are Supernatural, Harry Potter, MLP, The Host, SHINee, the House of Night, The Vampire Diaries, Degrassi, and Marvel's superhero movies. Fandoms that as of this moment I have no interest in that others seem to enjoy are Doctor Who, Sherlock, and The Hunger Games. I'm not saying that I dislike them, I just have a lot on my plate that I need to watch and read already so I don't want to get obsessed with anything else. I'm not sure what else to say, so I think I'll just end it here. Have an awesome day! ^-^
