Dream[F.Y.I this is a work of fiction, I have never had this dream.](i tried to make it like the raven by Poe)

It always starts the same, me in my room, alone. I'm watching T.V. when suddenly, a bird, a raven, swoops in through my open window. Apparently, the love of life had just passed away. I am asking God why, as we all do when somebody dies of whom they love.

The raven had been hanging on to my every word. It says, "Nevermore," as a response. That devil-bird causes me to take a dive into the deep-end of sanity.

Did you like my story? I tried to base it on The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.

As Long As You're Mine

This is not written by me, but I love Wicked and this song. : )

ELPHABA:

Kiss me too fiercely

Hold me too tight

I need help believing

You're with me tonight

My wildest dreamings

Could not foresee

Lying beside you

With you wanting me

And just for this moment

As long as you're mine

I've lost all resistance

And crossed some borderline

And if it turns out

It's over too fast

I'll make ev'ry last moment last

As long as you're mine

FIYERO:

Maybe I'm brainless

Maybe I'm wise

But you've got me seeing

Through different eyes

Somehow I've fallen

Under your spell

And somehow I'm feeling

It's "up" that I fell

BOTH:

Every moment

As long as you're mine

I'll wake up my body

And make up for lost time

FIYERO:

Say there's no future

For us as a pair

BOTH:

And though I may know

I don't care!

Just for this moment

As long as you're mine

Come be how you want to

And see how bright we shine

Borrow the moonlight

Until it is through

And know I'll be here holding you

As long as you're mine

FIYERO:

(spoken) What is it?

ELPHABA:

(spoken) It's just - for the first time, I feel - (whispers) wicked!

Annoying

Shut up!

Blah, blah, blah

Hush your face!

Yada, yada!

Shhhhhh!

Um?

Okay! What?

Hi.

~Taylor Koch

Oh No

I think I fell

Ow, My arm hurts

Is that blood?

It was only 3 inches

It doesn’t hurt too much

Oh, good! I have a band-aid

I’m fine

Really

I can go on

Thankful for......{eng. asst.}

Thankful

There are so many thing to be thankful for, too many to count.

I’m thankful for the way the leaves change from color to color. Unfortunately, they must fall.

For sports. Whether I’m watching or playing, I always enjoy it. My favorite sport to play is softball. My favorite for watching is baseball though.

For school, it’s not fun but it is essential. For the teachers who teach me, for the fun we have, and for the things we learn.

For those people who I call friends. The genuine kindness I see everyday. The friendships that last forever and the people who make them happen. And for those who never change.

For technology. The advancements in the world that make daily living possible. From computers and phones to medical devices, they’re all important.

For t-shirts. The “can’t live without” clothing item. You can express your political opinions or your favorite show. They are, in my opinion, the epitome of self-expression.

For my room. My safe place. The place I relax and find comfort. It’s like my haven.

For my family. My mom, dad, and my sisters; they will always be there for me. I can count on them even though we may fight and get into arguments.

For humor. Laughing adds seconds onto your life, I know why. It makes us happy. It’s the thing that cheers us up when we’re feeling bad.

For my dog. She may have a loud, shrill bark, but she always puts a smile on my face.

For the little things during the day. Random, unique, interesting things we learn and experience. Whether it’s a smile from a stranger or seeing a good Samaritan at work, these things always brighten my day.

All these things, plus many more, make life worth living. These are what I am thankful for.

The Philosophy of Middle School (pt. 1)

Have you ever noticed that people, who are considered “cool,” are flat out jerks? I guess you could call my years in school my research. I have experienced the coolest of the cool and the biggest and lamest losers ever. I’ve been in the company of both.

Recently, in yearbook, some people were talking about a person who was “cool” and nice, they were saying that she was fat and she looked ugly the day before. I wanted to go over to their table and tell them off. But then I realized, that was the type of people they were. Cruel, rude, and judgmental, but behind people’s backs. I don’t think its right. Then I over heard the same group talk about a different person, only that person wasn’t popular. That still doesn’t make it right. It made me think about how other cliques viewed other cliques. So, I started my investigation.

I began to learn from people the characteristics of their friends. You could say that I took a census of the 8th grade social status. I also recruited a couple of my closer friends to help me.

Here are some of the results:

To begin popular. There are many groups to go along with this extensive class. But in all of them they have something in common, sports. Sports seems to be the “universal” common denominator. They all seem to play basketball, volleyball, football, soccer, or track. A characteristic with some of these people is they think that they are the greatest thing to happen ever. It really makes me think about how they think of other people, “Do they think they’re better?” “Do they think that being good at sports will help you when your older and get real job?”

Next is middle. I think that I might fit well into that group. I mean, I’m not the most coolest person ever and I don’t think I’m at the bottom of the food chain. These people tend to make friends easier, and aren’t as picky with their friends as the popular kids tend to be. They usually do well or are average in their studies. Sometimes they are very quiet.

Lastly is the bottom. These kids are a little slower then the others. They are usually loud and have annoying tendencies. They may be rather lager than the other groups and tend to be unkept. This means their hair may be greasy and they might have a slight body odor. But sometimes you have to remember that it might not be their fault, their parents might not care, or their home life might be unsuitable.

After assessing these groups, I have come to a conclusion; people tend to think higher of themselves then they really are. That is exactly what most people should do because of self-esteem.

Almost all people have poor self-esteem. Self-esteem is, basically, how you feel about yourself.

I Know You So Well

I know you so well!

We’ve been in school together since 1st grade

And I’ve learned so much

I know you can be a loner sometimes

And that’s cool

You have a few jerky friends

But who doesn’t these days

We’ve been friends since…

Well…

I don’t know anymore,

Are we still friends?

I know you’ll say yes

But…

We talk in the halls

But I’m still not that sure

Please give me a clue.

Hey, I guess I don’t know EVERYTHING about you.

~Taylor Koch

Why

Why do I hate you?

Why do you annoy me?

Why are so irksome?

Why do I smile?

Why do you?

Why is it that when I see you I feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

Why do you wink?

Why do I?

Why do we laugh together?

Why are we still friends?

Why has this friendship lasted for

years?

Why do I ignore you?

Why do I poke fun at you?

Why do you not care?

Why?
